Hi Wheezy Mango Hi mate I done Gorilla Autoflower. And it was fully matured at week 11. You would like to give a flush middle off week 9 or beginning week 10. Then you only have to water with PH 6 water till 95% off your Trichomes have turned milky white. Once you seen 95% Trichomes are Milky White leave her in a dark cupboard for 2 days. And you will have a very high potency fully matured gorilla buds my friend. Hope this helps Good luck growing.

I would say from my experience 8 weeks from seed never means 8 week from seed. I would say you still have another week at least before flush! 👍🌱

The harvest time given with strains are often on the early side, so I reccomend waiting to flush until you at least reach the beginning of the harvest window. For me that would be the start of amber trichomes (on buds not sugar leaves). If you flush too soon it can prevent some of the final bulking of the buds. I personally flush for a shorter period right at the end of the grow (2-5 days coco, 5-7 days soil). While a lot of people find flushing improves bud quality, there is no scientific evidence it removes excess nutrients from the buds so I try to take a balanced approach. Good luck with your grow, it's coming along nicely! 👍

Hello there. When to start flushing? On paper is 63, but that's a breeders estimate and the time it takes may differ from reality. Could easily finish up before or after that estimated harvest time. Highly suggested to base when flush and when to harvest based on trichomes. They'll go from clear, to cloudy to amber. We want to hit as close to 100% milky as possible. Flushing in soil usually takes up to 10-14 days pending on how much and at what frequency you're doing it. I start my flush (for soil) when trichomes are about 70% milky. By the time the flush is over, the remaining 30% should! cloud out and you're looking at peak potency. Literally 3-5 days either way from the optimal harvest day can change the effect of your smoke (Cerebral vs Body High). Watch them close for the 70% ish cloudy and away you go👍 Cheers and good luck wrapping this girl up. You made it! Congrats😉👍
