When to stop feeding and start flushing?
ReggaePharmastarted grow question 4 years ago
Wk 8 on first ever grow. In first wk of diary are questions based around my inexperience. Anyone willing to have a look, many thanks in advance. Glue Gelato (Barney's Farm) suggests a 64-70 day harvest. Thinking about 70 or 77 as target? Stop feeding when? Start flushing day 60?

You have a long way to go. When it starts to look close to ripe it's usually a good time, because there's still 10-14 days, typically, from that point. Being familiar with trichome progression will help too. Start observing, now :)
Anyway, your substrate will impact how long you flush. With soil you have extra room for error.. can always changeup midstream if it is going longer. Bring it down slowly though. Don't flood the thing. Normal irrigation with healthy runoff is all until top 1" dries again.
you can only pick out the day if you are familiar with the plant. The plant does the planning, regardless.

Everyone has a different opinion on when to flush. Some people like to harvest with milky trichomes,some like 20% amber. So I suggest start flushing when you think you are 10 days away from what you prefer.

Pick up a 60x lighted jewelers loop . or a usb magnifying camera of some sort. Look for 70-30 Milky to clear to start your flush, and harvest around 20-30 % amber trichomes on the buds not the sugar leaves as they develop faster. Hope this helps friend! Happy growing! 👊

Which fertilizer should be used in the early flowering stage?There is an autoflower plant that has just started to bloom. I water twice a week, one with fertilizer and one without fertilizer. Do you think it should be switched to bloom fertilizer at this stage, or should grow fertilizer be given for another week since it is still growing?

Should I harvest in 2-3 weeks ?Hey, do you think my plants might be ready in two weeks ? They're autos in 7th week of their life. I know that 9 weeks is ok for most, but these should take approx. 11 weeks. Do you think one more week of feeding, then flush would be appropriate ? Trichomes are mostly milky white
