Well I have heard that indicas supposedly benefit from heavy defoliating near the end of flower, and from what I'm seeing, they do it less naturally while it seems like sativas do it more naturally. Aren't the Blue Kush and Blueberry indica dominants?
Won't the new flower material that grows grow over the flakes and envelope them making bud washing not able to get them? That's why I'm trying to spray them off now.
Don't worry much about the "dust" there... Once you hang the plant to dry and them during the trimming you will be able to pick that stuff off... bud wash too is good.
Your flowers look GREAT .... all you really need to do is water.... the plants will start to eat up the fan leaves as it gets closer to harvest. I let that happen. several reasons too first of which is less trimming, and then the flowers taste better with less chlorophyll in them. The whole reason we dry and cure buds really.
Looking at your clones.. that's where I see something up. Your soil mix is either pretty strong in something OR you are over watering. Dead green leaves is a bad sign.
First thing I do is make sure I'm not over watering. Easy enough just wait for the pots to get light weight, then go easy on the watering until the plants start to get bigger.
Your flowers look fine... you mentioned your foiler you wanted to use a few days ago... you can foiler on EWC tea as much as you want. I always dilute the teas with water tho... Kelp and EWC are my go to and also I've been using Horsetail Fern tea - make it just like you make black tea - hot water steep until cool then into the fridge and then dilute with water and foiler on. That will get rid of any mold/PM issues as well as give the plant a lot of micro nutrients.
You're doing great... it's easy to overthink... easier to just water a few times and wait out any issues. They will either get worse or get better. Most times nothing we can do.

True story on the trimming part. I chopped the first of my ATFs and it had lost most of the fan leaves that yellowed early on. Didn't take much of anything at all to trim that bad boy up. I am now officially a fan of fan leaves yellowing and falling off on the back half of flower! Looking forward to testing the better taste too.
You can still bud wash even if it has seeds if they fall out they float to the top n jus pick em out n save em if u want if they r good enuf to save that is lol. And it it sounds 2me like she prolly hermied on u alil bit. If anything happens to change my light pattern in my flower tent when I have my purple kush going she tends to make a few hermie seeds as well. And u mentioned ur light timer had an issue so It was prolly that altho i could be wrong. Jus my 2 cents worth for what ever thats worth haha.Well I have more bad news, I was looking over the buds still trying to brush out all the duct tape bits, and I noticed seeds developing. I don't know how as I have been examining these pretty closely and haven't found any male flowers, but the pollen had to have come from somewhere. I think it happened when my power went out and I had to reset my light timer.
It's especially troubling because now I'm not sure if I can bud wash if there's seeds in the bud.
