Flushing
UpInSmoke420started grow question 5 years ago
With flushing.. can I just feed her PhD water for the next week then harvest? Or is it best to put her in the bath and flush with like 3/5gallons of PhD water then harvest a week or so later?

No need to do an extreme flush unless you need to fix an issue. Just plain water until you're happy to harvest is great🌱👍

just irrigate as normal.. a little runoff, hopefully?
don't do anything harsh like flooding it. you'll only disturb roots at a very inopportune time.

CustomsGood morning!
So, I know this a strange question to ask here but I didn´t knew wherelse to do it.
I bought a LED light from china that got stuck on customs. I live in a illegal place and I´m kinda scared of this situation. Do you think I can get flagged on customs for it?
Thanks!Other. General questions

Thricomes checkingSo, a week ago the thricomes were looking almost ready, pretty much 90% cloudy and 10% clear.
Now I checked it and it looks less mature, the thrics are looking 75% cloudy, 20% clear and 5% amber.
Also, it looks like it is developing new growth after a week of no apparent growth.Week 12

How to prevent humidity spikes during dark periodsMy humidity is still spiking during the dark period. Going from about 60% to 85%. I have 2 dehumidifiers in the tent connected to a controller and they don't seem to be putting a dent in the RH. Is there a better way to go about managing the humidity during dark periods?
Thanks!Week 9

About how long for trichome maturing?Since I am seeing some cloudy trichomes, what kind of timeframe am I looking at moving forward? I'm thinking I want to harvest when I'm between 20-50% amber trichomes, so when I start to see some amber, about how long do I have before I need to chop? Days? Week?Week 11

Thoughts about harvestingHello guys ! This question is about my Purple Queen Auto.
She's a little bit over 8 weeks old now (5 weeks into flowering) and I really don't know when to harvest her.
I know about the trichrome method but I only have my eyes to zoom haha
So, when do you think she will be ready?Other. General questions

How's the trichomes look?Not the best pics, but do these trichomes look cloudy? First time trying the microscope, still working on technique. I don't even know if these are on the bud or leaves lol. I'm just trying to get a sense of what clear vs cloudy looks like.Week 11

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?4 years ago

Autopots - switch on, or wait?I have 2 plants in 15 liter auto pots. They have been in their final pots and being top fed for 2 weeks, which should be long enough to switch on, but I read that I should wait until the leaves are as wide as the pot. What do people think based on the current size?Week 3

Mainline with Nebulas method for 10 topsHas anyone kept the second top node so you end up with 10 tops? ( Cutting off the bottom on the second node)
How did it work out?
Are there any drawbacks except space?
Would it be an uneven split of nutrients decreasing the yield on the 8 main tops?Other. General questions
