Got a new light this week, it's basically a HLG 260 R-Spec except locally manufactured using the same Samsung LEDs. Big Mumma got her 60x60cm tent today and will go in there under one Viparspectra 300W blurple (130w from the wall). I trimmed her, super cropped her main stem and added a scrog net in preparation of flowering her in the next couple of days.
Because my other plants were getting up past 75cm after 7 days of flower (100cm is my absolute max) , I decided to supercrop the canopy back down to about 60-65cm - it was pretty scary and I definitely broke the outer stem on some of them. Also gave them a good trim. Fortunately most bounced back strong the next day which are the most up-to-date photos you see (17/4/20).
I am in Coco at the end of week 5 flower. I am wondering how to time the flush if I'm planning on flushing for 10-14 days before harvest? I have a USB microscope to check tricomes also.
Hi my friend :-) If your trichome heads are about 80% milky and 20% clear you can flush :-) If they are 70% milky and 40% amber you can harvest ๐๐ It looks great bro ๐๐
Thoughts on trimming in flower? I trimmed underneath and lightly defoliated the top about 2 weeks in to flower. I'm mid-way through week 5 now, not sure if I should just leave them or trim some lower larf. Not planning on touching fan leaves until final week before harvest.
Thanks for your help on the flush timing question @MadeInGermany and @Fusion - very helpful indeed.
I'll start putting up photos from the USB microscope in the coming weeks so we can nail this harvest time - I'm excited :D
