Pre harvest SOP
CrowMasterstarted grow question 3 years ago
Got a question for the whole community, what does Flush mean to you…some just start to use plain water, some use salt leaching formulas like clearex, and now they’re other products like caked up by crop salt that gets used till day of harvest…so my question is what do you do?

I don't flush...Can't see the logic in it when the cure will breakdown any excess chlorophyll in the bud. I adopted this method from the start. I noticed other experienced growers doing the same. Did my research and there is as with everything about cannabis conflicting evidence on both sides. What done it for me was see the data regarding the loss of up to 30% of cannabinoids and terpenes from doing a flush and stripping any nutrients it needs to ripen those fat buds... At the end of the day, It is really up to you, Your plant. Mrs_Larimar is another that doesn't flush...to my knowledge anyways.... good luck

100% agree with BraveheartGenetics
water stress in end life stage can increase trichomes but I don't think that's the type of water stress it means.

If salt build up is an issue - run a clearing solution once or twice then I just taper my feeds. I also don’t cut feed off completely. Go down to like .8 EC for 5 days then .4-.5 EC for 5 days and chop. I’m in soilless tho

Flush is to remove all the nutrient and salts from the soil to ensure your weed has all his taste and terpenes, and ensure it doesn't taste like nutrient, thats why we flush our plants, normally around 1-2 weeks, i normally use flawless finish

Colas to close to each other?I am a little bit worried about the colas growing quite close to each other, and quite dense (the side branches are basically all start to grow into the main bud of the cola).

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. THX

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?

Trichomes don’t matureI’m flushing slowly, has been almost two week now. Just water with PH between 6.5 and 6.8. The plant seems ready, pistils are brown for 70%, yellow leaves are dropping off, but I don’t get why trichomes are still transparent, they aged slowly compared to the rest. Is it normal?

Are these nanners developing?Can anyone identify if this is the early stages of nanners? The bright, lush green growth at middle top of picture is what concerns me in particular. I will likely chop tomorrow or the day after - but want to develop an eye for identifying nanners ASAP.
