Should I begin my flush now or do another week of nutes?

Hello. My plants seem to be growing at different rates and I’m worried about pushing the faster developer past her prime. I’m at week 9 and ILGM says 10-14 weeks. Should I start my flush or go another week with nutrients and harvest around week 12?

hey there Colonel, i gotta disagree with my growmies on this one. First off pistills dont tell you anything about the ripeness of a plant. the only thing "brown hairs" tells you is that the membrane of the pistil has degraded and oxidized. So its not an indicator of anything. Same story with the breeder timeline for the plant. just ignore that. The only thing that counts is the trichomes, thing is you need greater magnification on them, something like 50 or 60x magnification to really see. And it's the only way to tell. With white widow you're aiming for week 12 week 13 for a harvest, but it could be a bit longer or shorter depending. Just be patient growmie, right now it looks like it's almost ready, but actually it's the lack of magnification - all the trichomes look white unless you reach 40-50x... It's the most boring part of the grow right now, just be patient and make sure it's ripe before the chop. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Hi ColonelForbin1990, While you don't get a magnifying lens I think you could feed it a bit more for another week at least. If you want you can gradually reduce the feeding until you're just flushing. You can get a magnifying lens for 5-9$ or €. It's worth. Get one with a little light if you can.

I'm going to agree with DissNoof here... it's all about the trichomes! If you can pick up a scope or a loupe, you'll have a much more accurate way of judging when she's going to be ready for the chop. Good luck!

One more week with nutes, then water for a few week until harvest. Good luck

It happen pretty often a phenotype could be faster/slower finishing than the other(s) so don't worry about that. At this point into flowering one week more or less nuts won't change much. Pistil look already rather brown/orange so i would give her two week more, sound enough. Happy growing
