Does it matter when it comes to flushing if your f...
AutoflowersSucKanswered grow question a year ago
I always flush at least a week prior to harvest. Even 2 weeks or 3 weeks prior i have known, and do know people that do that for that long. If you are nearly harvest and your leaves are not yellowing and changing colours like they do outdoors in fall, then your plant is loaded with nutrients still and your smoke is gonna not burn well and be harsh on your throat and taste like chemicals. Always flush, especially Hydroponic gardens. Soil seems to be more forgiving, but i still say flush if you want to ensure you have smooth easy burning smoke that tastes good.
As far as the little balls are concerned, those are called Calyx. If that were pollinated, a seed would form within it. Those are what your buds are. Just clusters of unpollinated Calyx.

I see your using soil, you will want to wait until you see 10% amber thrichomes before starting flush. Flush meaning water only for the last 2 weeks. Your plant will fade and change colors this is OK.
If you want a really sedative high with couch lock. Wait till you see 30-40% thrichomes then start flush.
If you want cerebral head high that's uplifting then start flush when you see all thrichomes are cloudy.
If dont know and want good smoke that offers some of hoth then go 10-15% amber thrichomes.
Those balls are called calyxces. They are what hold each bud to the plant. When those swell almost completely around the hair then it's almost time to harvest or start looking to harvest.
Those have more THC, cannabinoids, and terpenes then the rest of the entire plant. I save those and if you have enough try rolling a joint with just them, it's amazing.
Those calyxces are where I check my trichomes. I do look at the buds high and low buds. Then the thrichomes as their the most mature part of the buds. Then average every thing out.
Get a 60x magnification jewlers loop. Ac infinity sells one for ten bucks, use this to look at the thrichomes.
Use the % I gave you earlier to determine when you want to harvest depending on your desired effect.
You did great, enjoy your harvest my friend.

Earliest possible harvest?How long do you reckon these are going to take? I am talking harves on the early side. Most buds look like this, only the main cola is taking longer. At this moment about 25% pistils are curled and trichomes seem rather milky. First grow, no experience here. Will they get bigger?

Does a re-veg harvest quicker on her 2nd flower?For anyone that has re-veged and re-flowered a plant, Did you notice a quicker harvest?
Originally chopped at 56 days to keep green for re-veg.(early I thought)
This one seems about 10 days faster on her maturation.

How to get feminised plants to flowerHow do I get my feminised plants to start flowering outside / greenhouse?
I'm a bit of a newbie to growing my own and thought I'd brought Autoflowers but I've realised that they're not. They are very big now (White Widow) and not started flowering like my others did.
