Flushing
The8thChevronanswered grow question 5y ago
Only if you are resolved to flushing at all. Flushing seems great in theory until you really think about it. It's not going to take any "chemicals" out of the plant. The salts from the nutrients are a part of the cell structure and they arent going anywhere. The idea of flushing also isn't supported by science. Look into it, make your own decisions, but after exhaustive research I changed my opinion and decided flushing probably wasn't the way to go.
Again, if you're flushing no matter what, yes, now is probably a good time to start.

When Will the Trichomes be Ready for Couch Lock?I am hoping to achieve the really nice couch lock anti anxiety effects of OG Kush. Ive read for the more narcotic effect the trichomes should be more amber. Ive got 2 OG Kush phenotypes flowering, 7 weeks. Can anyone tell me how much longer I have left until harvest?

How long before harvest?Hello growers! I'm at my first experience here and would be grateful for some feedback on harvesting time. I know I should look at trichomes but I'm not sure I'll have the right tools in time. I'm at flowering week 7 and RQS recommended flowering for 8-9 weeks. Thanks!!!Week 18

Auto late flowering?Plants look healthy and there are some hairs visible, but no realy bud production yet. Plants are Northern Lights autoflower. I am wondering if it is normal to not see any bud growth at this stage of an autoflower as I've seen lots of other autos flowering in week 5?Week 8

Newbie, are these buds ready?Girls are in mid of 8th week of flower. I started to see some trichomes a bit brownish but also some clear ones, not much of whiteish. Is this normal? The zoomed photos are taken from the same that I think more matured. Do you think is still a week off or is ready to be cut. TnxWeek 15
