used to NL feminised these would give a show of 2nd flush trichomes wait for them to die off then harvest DO Autoflowers do the same. or 1 long flush been waiting for them but nothing yet. Only 2 of plants on 11 weeks app finish. harvest will go over 4/5 weeks by the looks of it

@Shagrath, Is right , you must talk about pistols ( hairs , visible at 1st sight ) and the trichomes ( so small that you need a x40 magnifier to see if they are clear , cloudy or amber ). He is also right about the fact that you can have a 1st load of white pistols that are getting brown before you can see a second load of white pistols that will again turn brown. On the contrary the trichomes are 1st clear , then are turning cloudy/white and are finishing their life brown/amber

Do you mean the white pistils that turn brown? Then again new wave of pistils come and this happens for couple times before everything's ready? I don't think that trichomes will die off 'cos they just form and mature. They will mature in different times but never should they die If you mean the white hairs (Pistils) then yes I think autos would follow the same growing pattern probably.

Got my wording wrong to what you are used to my apologies. i call it a flush of trichomes on northern lights you would get a first lot of trichomes, these would die off then a second set of trichomes thicker than the first would appear do autos follow the same was what i was asking

Hi! Im not sure what you mean with 2nd flush trichomes? Flushing the plant is not related to trichome production. It is plants natural defense mechanism to avoid pests and catch male pollen. In stressful situations its possible to produce more trichomes but I don't think flushing counts as one. Different strains produce different amount of trichomes at different times and its also dependant on your growing techniques ofc. I think that flushing should be done only when needed during your grow and final flush can be just one long flush with water.
