Flush before harvest
Cahoone1384started grow question 4 years ago
I’m having a hard time trying to decide when to flush . I’m not sure how many weeks I’m at . I think I’m about a week or two away from harvest , I see mostly milky trichomes , a few Amber here and there . Most pistols are orange , there’s a few white ones still

I converted to a No Flush method about 10 grows back after reading a couple articles on flushing vs non flushing. It has in NO way harmed my smoke's flavor or quality. No harshness. Anyone who has tried it has found it very smooth. You may want to try skipping the flush.

Myself, I will stay with not flushing.

YOU ARE PROBABLY A LITTLE LATE. WHEN 30-60% OF THE TRICHOME HEADS ARE MILKY ITS TIME TO START YOUR FLUSH.

Start flushing and ph water for next 3 weeks. Harvest after a good week when trichromes are ideal. I usually go the whole 2. I like see plants fade and color morph as well. Good luck

Looking good! I’d personally start flushing now.. 7-14 day flush and she’ll definitely be ready to chop.

These have been grown in 91 degree heat for their entire time growing. I can't change that the heat killed off some trichomes. But what is your opinion on the doneness of the trichomes that are there? If the pics are not clear enough I can use my real camera versus my phone. THXBuds. Other

Main versus secondary maturingThis secondary lower buds seem to be maturing faster than the main colas. The pistils are turning dark faster on the lower than the upper. Not by much, but it's noticeable. Maybe a week or so? BUT, should I take the secondary buds first and leave the main colas to mature more?Week 9

Should we do something to get a bit more space and ventilation inbetween? (more pics and video in diary)Week 9
