Grow QuestionsWhen to flush using pistils

When to flush using pistils

KinoBudz74started grow question 3 years ago

This is my first grow and I don’t have the much equipment. With that being said I feel like I’m close to harvest and I want to flush before. I don’t have a magnifier I look at the Trichomes so I want to go off the pistils . How much of the bud should have colored pistils?

When about 85 percent of the pistils turn brown or red then you will be ready to start a 1 to two week flush depending upon your substrate. It will happen at the end of bulking. So looking at it now you have about 3 to 4 weeks left. Can always buy a jeweler's loupe. They are a few bucks and provide 30x and 60x magnification. Good luck and happy growing 🌱🌱🌱

Lower Bud Sites - To Prune or Not To Prune There are bud sites and smaller branches with bud sites below the 'harvest line'. Would it just set the plants back a couple days if prune theses out from stress like with heavy leaf pruning? Or... Should I just leave them be and continue to keep canopy relatively open? Thank you
