Def that will work. Before you cut it. Let her dry out good though. It will help dry her. I just wouldn't worry about putting 20 gallons of water through it, it will absolutely do nothing. Good work though. Like I said you did a great job keeping the colars even and it seems like you have good air flow.

I concur with @lllies1984... flushing is for toilets 
Your plants look great, and yes the last few weeks will be when the weight (and trichs) really pack on. Everybody's different on when they pull, for us, we wait until around 50% amber. The result is more gooey, denser buds. We like our medicine strong for the press. You ever had rosin dabs?
I would feed potassium until the week before harvest to build resin, that's where all the magic happens. The more resin, the more medicine.

Before flushing just look at ur runnof it dont lie i reuse my promix need to flush it when i was using syntetic nute i use to feed 500ppm and not more then 900ppm in flowering and my soil runnof was 1700ppm so flushing was my best way to go .
And to much phosphore will make the bud taste more harsh good luck now im organic and feed water from begining to harvest so good .!
Lies is using 100 strenght that alot of salt remember that a plant cant take more ppm then he cant absorbe
Sorry for my english i am french
Potassium sulfate is good enhancer for the taste

It is great to try to help. but I think you stand alone here about whether he should flush or not. Everyone has there opinion, just want you to know if you go around suggesting someone flush without being sure, you are going to come up against some others taking the other side that are not as nice as the people here on this thread. Just a heads up of what to expect.

ppm ph run off is a waste off time it changes to much. If your plants healthy what is the point. Again flushing is for grower error. Doesn't do anything for flavor or finishing product.

I did all of those things for awhile and have stopped.
I was growing dank weed for many years before 2016. Then I got online and I learned about flushing, run off, and run off PH and started over watering. It took me 3 bad grows of not so great crystal to learn what my problem was. The biggest problem was I started over watering. I will find out in about 7 weeks if I have my game back as I am 2 weeks into flowering with healthy plants.
Here is some bud porn from 2015 before I lost my way. Hoping I have some decent bud porn to show in the next few weeks that is real time, it's been to long

agree, I've made a lot of mistakes as well. I'm a big believer cannabis needs a dry period. I do think it builds thc as well. I use dehumidifier in flower. In the last 2 weeks I run it down to 25% That and a few other tricks really help make it frosty. But genectic's are most important factor. If you want a lot of thc buy a strand known for it.

The biggest thing to learn about growing in soil is when watering, you must thoroughly drench the soil, not just the root base. The second biggest thing to learn is to let the soil dry out nearly completely (stick your finger in the top 2-3 inches, if its dry and crumbly, time to water).
Back when I was a newb and growing in soil, my biggest hurdle was understanding the roots needed oxygen to breath. I would give my plants 'a drink' every day or two. Big, HUGE mistake that a lot of folks tend to make early on. Waterlogging sucks, you've got to let the darn thing dry out first. Not bone dry but darn close.
MJ hates wet feet.
btw, @swedsteven nice buds! What strain is that?
