Timing of Flushing
N3wbGrow3rstarted grow question 5y ago
Flushing: IF breeder states 9wk flowering, should I flush at 7 wks (from first visible flower) OR is the better method to check trichomes for a majority to be cloudy as the indicator to flush?

For a first grow I do suggest you start a flush two weeks before projected harvest.
I did it just to be sure to not have any nutrients left in my smoke. I didn’t want my hard work to go to waste.
But I think when you start seeing 50% milky tricromes is a good time to start flushing. As you reach 90% milky and some amber she should be good to harvest.
It’s definitely a balancing act and daily inspections and your gut will tell you what’s best for your specific grow. A loupe or a pocket microscope will definitely aid with the inspection.
You definitely have the right mindset of shooting for the breeders recommendations.
Anyway enjoy your harvest. Your plants are 🔥

Hello the best option is to check trichomes as an indicator to begin your flush.. Otherwise yes you can begin your flusk at week 7 if trichomes are milky. Good luck. Bye

3 NL Autos from ILGM all started at same time, but plant 2 received no training: did training DELAY or STUNT plants 1Plant 1 has healthiest foliage but smallest buds.
Plant 2 seems farthest along but stalling out.
Plants 1 & 3 fattening. Just delayed?
Seeing amber trichs here n there, but lots of clears/milky all over.

Harvest... 7-10 more days?Pulled a few tester buds to try and check trichomes and smoke. Thinking 7-10 days longer on these... might let some go even longer. What do you think? Testers are potent, strong head high. I like more of a couchlock high, husband prefers head high. Testers were cut 3 days ago.

Fox tail?Is this anything to worry about? Looks like my buds are fox tailing. They are in the harvest window. Just wanted a bit more of a flush.
Medusa F1 will be 70 days old tomorrow. It’s not all the buds but some. I have never had this happen before and I think it’s down to the cold.
