First time grow need help with milky pistils still showing

Yeah, and at the end of your grow it doesn't matter a whole lot if its locked out. The only thing you are doing the last couple weeks is letting the trichomes mature.

So should only flush if I’m seeing signs of nutrient lockout

Yes but that is a loaded question. If you are using a product like fox farms trio they actually recommend perioding flushing of your medium. In coco most guys flush regularly. In organic grows with buffered soil flushing is never recommended.
Lockout is not always about salt and chemical buildup. Improper pH of medium is another reason for flushing as to high or low blocks certain groups of nutrients. There are charts online for this.
Just another reason to use soil and a basic nute like Dr earth gold and then flower girl. Top dress every 2 3 weeks keep some EWC handy and maybe get an RO water filter then throw the pH and EC tools away or sell them.
And grow fine weed

Dr. Bruce Bugbee has done a lot of cannabis research. He addressed the question of whether to flush or not in a FAQ session. According to him, the only reason to flush is to remove excess nutrients.

The only reason to flush is to remove excess salts from synthetic nutrients or from badly overfeeding that’s causing toxicity. The salts can build up and cause absorption problems, so a flush about midway through can be beneficial, but flushing at the end of grow to try and make the plant “cleaner” is bro science.
