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.

Trust your gut not your eyes they may fool you. Your gut is never wrong. You will know when to start the flush. 👍👍 From The White House.

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! 👊

How much time could it be until the plant is ripe?Looking at the image of the trichomes (and ignoring the little black lint xD) can someone give me maybe a rough estimate on how long they could still take? Could it be a week, could it be 3 weeks?
I feel a bit unsure because I already see some amber ones too.

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?
