Timing of Flushing
N3wbGrow3rstarted grow question 4y 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

Autoflower: Harvesting in SectionsHello growers! Some of the lower branches on my ladies are starting to grow into the light and are developing, but the top is close to being ready. I know it’s possible with a regular plant, but is it possible to harvest an auto flowering plant in parts without killing it? Thanks

Defoliate or not ?Do I need to defoliate her harder ? I Think some of the buds are blocking the sun out of others, I am afraid the buds won't be fat. I am also afraid if I defoliate wrongly she could lose a lot of photosynthesis. What do you guys think ? I should try to lst her down a lot more5y ago
