Harvest or give another week

Personally I think the plant should simply be as healthy as possible. This is not specifically about your plant there, coz you'd know it better than I would. But my personal principles. When you harvest it, you're gonna put it in darkness, right? If you flush it (while it's growing) and it doesn't have excess buildups, you're pretty much just gonna be depriving it (which would mostly quicken senescence and lower cellular activity, meaning it just "dies" quicker). If it has excess buildups, you should kinda have flushed/addressed that earlier. But, because a lot of people DO use excessive nutrients often, or have pretty obvious imbalances, that flushing can be useful (except imo kinda missing the point and a bit latent, as it automatically means the plant isn't in its best state). And personally, I've found harvest time (like what time of day) to be utterly irrelevant. But hey, I don't have lab equipment and shit to actually confirm that. That's subjectively from experience. Imo, the goal is to have the plant in the best health/state possible when harvested, because it's going to be active for some time. Preferably a fair while, slow dry with fair humidity and cool temps. That simple. Now, there are minor preference issues relating to that, but that's pretty much how I see it. Cheers, enjoy...

I disagree with the below comments. There is little to no evidence regarding the darkness stage and flushing. But you definitely won't lose 30%terpenes...I don't think the darkness thing is worth the very small potential gain, but flushing is important, harvesting when trichomes are at their peak and harvesting when the soil is dry and before the sun comes up or lights turn on

Hi mate, tetra is correct. Do not flush or subject your plant to any darkness. All that does is potentially reduce your terpene level by up to 30%. Feed to the end, light ti=o the end. Shewill be awesome. Great job, plant looks amazing. Good luck and happy growing

Looking fantastic! If you haven’t flushed or plan to wait at least another week it’s not going to flush anything out of the actual plant just the dirt. The darkness, Ice water and all that are really just wives tales. The only thing that is guaranteed is that it increases your chance for molds and fungi to grow on such lovely dense buds. Happy Growing and keep that 🔥coming!!!

What a chonker! Looks about ready to me....and if you really unsure go for another Week but its just about flavour at this point i would say 😅 Cheers 😊
