Weeks in Flower
FluffyAgendastarted grow question 3 years ago
My clones call for 9 weeks in flower. If flowers are on a 9 week cycle, do I flush in week 9 or add the flush week (week 10) to the end?

That flower time usually means ready to chop at 9 weeks.. IF you flush like mouse said do it a week or so ahead of chop date.
Im not sure about auto pots but if you’re in a soilless medium it only takes 5ish days.
I don’t flush either I just taper EC down slowly the last 10 days or so..
The problem I foresee with your auto pots is they’re bottom fed no? So you’ll have salts in there you’ll wanna flush from the top I would think. May be wrong about how those work.. but then again you could just taper down the nutes as suggested. Maybe drop 20% every couple of days and last couple days be around 0.5-0.8 EC depending on your water source

I appreciate the help. The autopots can flush from bottom. I drain and turn off the reservoir 36-48 hrs prior to the start of flush and let them soak up what's in the soil. They also require tight fertilizer management(and sometimes a little waste) when doing veg/flower in the same tent and as they move through stages of flower. It may seem like a pain, but the autopots save so much time in the process of watering and flushing vs doing it manually, once you try them you'll never go back to hand watering/flushing multiple plants.

Flushing your plants at harvest is bro science. Why would you stop feeding them at the end when they really want nutrients? I'm not a farmer but I bet they keep feeding nutrients to their crops right up to the end

The manufactures guidelines are for when to harvest are more like suggestions.
You will need to pay attention to your plants own needs. It may be around there but not guaranteed at 9 weeks.
Best to look at trichomes as your best indicator when to harvest.
As for flushing, Its a highly debated topic. If you want to flush, do it a week or two before you plan on harvesting based on trichome maturity and your setup.
I myself do not flush.
Best of Luck and Happy Growing

How much time could it be until the plant is ripe?Looking at the image of the trichomes (and ignoring the little black lint xD) can someone give me maybe a rough estimate on how long they could still take? Could it be a week, could it be 3 weeks?
I feel a bit unsure because I already see some amber ones too.

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?
