Boa tarde... Na minha opinião não tendo os tricomas ambar indica-nos que as flores ainda não atingiram o máximo. Neste caso não vejo motivo claro para antecipar a interrupção da nutrição. Se procurar tricomas opacos/leitosos e com uma proporção de tricomas âmbar, deve continuar a nutrir a planta e no aparecimento dos primeiros tricomas ambar iniciar as lavagens mas dependendo do objetivo.

Really, just never flush. Ever. Do yourself a favor and test with and without flushing. Biologically, there is no mechanism known that speaks in favor of it. You will drastically alter the terpene profile from mellow to stress-based sesqueterpenes, terpenes are literally dying off. There is zero curing or cleaning benefit.

Nicht verzweifeln! Du bist nicht dumm! Wir haben bei unseren Auto Ladies festgestellt, das sie ab ca. Woche 12 so 10-15% bernsteinfarbene Trichome bilden. Das ist für uns der Punkt zu ernten. Wir achten darauf das die Trichome auf den Blüten und nicht auf den Zuckerblättern zu sehen sind. Leider kann ich auf deinen Bildern nicht viel erkennen, aber das ein oder andere bernsteinfarbene Trichome habe ich schon geshen. :-)

Ganz ehrlich, die trichome sagen dir wann die Pflanze fertig ist und nicht der Grower. Die Pflanze sagt dir was sie braucht und was nicht :) und deine Pflanze und die trichome sagen dir: Warte noch ein bisschen. Ich persönlich warte immer bis viele „braun“/„berenstein“ geworden sind und dann ernte ich die :) und das mit dem spülen ist wirklich jedem selbst überlassen es baut sich alles gleich ab. Egal ob du spülst oder nicht. Studien belegen das sogar, Studien gehen sogar noch ein Schritt weiter. Sie sagen das es sogar kontraproduktiv ist! Es stresst die Pflanze in der entscheidenden Phase 🤷🏼‍♂️ also egal wie, es ist deine Pflanze und du musst deine eigenen Erfahrungen sammeln :)

Hey man don't listen to that, you did exactly the right thing by waiting! If you had started flushing two weeks ago you would have starved her right when she was trying to pack on weight and fatten up those buds. Looking at your pictures the trichomes are getting milky now but there are still some clear ones visible. She definitely needs a little more time to finish swelling and ripening. Autos often take a bit longer than the breeder schedule suggests so just stay patient. Keep an eye on those trichomes over the next week or two until they are mostly milky with some amber ones popping up. You are totally on the right track so just let her do her thing and give her the time she needs. Happy Growing Growmie 🌱?💚

atlien taking things out of context again to make an irrational and futile argument that's really about some childish personal dispute rather than logic and reason. For all the smack, sure has a lot of plants with a bunch of nutrition-related symtpoms, airy buds and below average yields (g/sq ft) Flushing does nothing to mineral content of the flower. That is a fact. If the mass that makes up the construction of the flower is constituted the same exact way whether you flush or not, then how exactly is it impacting anything? if any effect is measured, starving a plant the last few days or couple weeks will reduce yield some insignificant amount. It can't build soemthing from nothing. if the building blocks are not available in the plant, then growth of new cells and maintenance of existing cells will be hindered. As long as the leaves can provide, you can give water only without concern. it might be the safer way to go. Being confident without suitable samples and comparing to a control or that sort of professional work being done and referenced is just hubris.

you should be flushing 7/10 days before harvest, because its important to have a smooth smoke

@00110001001001111O , "They don't flush the earth in outside grows and that weed turns out fine, correct?" epitome of logic, no problems here. lmao remember folks. some people's cannabis sits in jars and rots in their basement. some people cant grow enough za. not everyone pulls the same quality crop. fact

Not sure about 2 weeks ago... theres plenty of growers that crank full nutrients untill harvest and never flush. If you think you wanna flush or that she is done. Do you bro its your plant.

Don't panic, you still have time. I would give these plants another 7-10 days before harvesting, so just stop all nutrients/fertilizers/supplements right now and give plain water in normal amounts and at normal intervals up until harvest............this is all that is needed for a "flush". There is no need to drown your plants repeatedly with gallons of water, this achieves nothing and can in fact be harmful by increasing rot probability. I agree with 0011, a bit too much feeding in general, but nothing terrible and yes, leaves are incredibly important........there really is no benefit to removing them, only downsides in my opinion. Overfeeding can encourage extremely lush and leafy plants at the expense of flower development, which only need moderate feeding for proper growth. Remember..........more leaves = more energy being produced = more potential.

The plant doesn't have toxic symptoms, so it's fine. They don't flush the earth in outside grows and that weed turns out fine, correct? The things projected onto flushing at the end are mostly figments of imagination. Sometimes it's good to just irrigate with plain, pH'd water the last little bit just to ensure you are erring on the side of cannibalization rather than over-feeding it on accident. Think of the strength of your canopy as a buffer. A healthy plant offers a ton of room for error. A slow trend down is safer than increasing lushness of foliage at the end. Causing a bunch of excess damage to the canopy while doing it isn't necessary. Maybe a wee bit too much N was given, but it's not going to drastically impact anything. No clawing, but a bit dark in some sports based on the top-down perspective photos - hint of glossiness too. But in other photos looks fine.. so it's tough to be certain reading lushness. Mostly maxing out at 5-finger leaves indicates some stress or imbalance of nutrients provided. These are things to try to fix, but in the end this is a robust weed that performs well even under duress. Something to work on but not beat yourself up about. I'm still tweaking process to avoid occasionally having an overfed plant near the end, but not because i think it'll make a drastic difference at this stage (referencing small to near-zero problems). Aim small; miss small. Looks like it was defoliated at some point - probably part of the 5-finger max seen. Can see large portions of trunk, lower stems, and completely through the plant, which is not efficient use of light. Also less of a buffer when feeding isn't optimal. Keep the leaves next time. Leaves make everything better. Removing leaves never causes the plant to focus on other things. Remove leaves to reduce risks of pathogens etc... not whimsy. They are increidbly important plant organs.
