Ok, so I honestly have lost count on how many weeks I've been into flowering on my beautiful ladies. If you've read my earlier entries, you already know that this is my first grow. So far, I've had no major issues or problems, despite my lack of up-to-standard equipment. I need better lights and a ppm meter and that will be my next investment. But right now, I'm working on a very tight budget and can't make that purchase for a few more weeks. Anyway, I think I am around 7 weeks into flowering and unfortunately I just took my first clones. I know it will take longer to take root, but hopefully they will turn out ok. Right now, I'm unsure how close I am to harvest. I know I need to flush free of nutes 2 weeks prior. Look at these pics and tell me how much longer I need to be using nutes. When can I start my flush. I'm trying to be patient, but I am so ready to try out my first grow!! Also, the last pic is of my fan leaves. Several of them are becoming discolored like this one. Is this from nutes?

    I've done the same thing. I started flushing when the leaves stared to yellow and dying. I would harvest when the top of the cola started discoloring and the leaves on the cola are yellow and start dying off. Remember to write your date the you start flowering them. Its happened to me many times. Hope this helps out a little. Your plants look good. The discoloring of the leaves in the picture looks like its from the nutes. It might be a calcium or mag. problem. Read up on the nutrient deficiencies and you should be able to find the problem.

    thanks. I was worried bout the discoloration but i had no idea where to begin. i decided to invest in a mag glass to help n the harvest time. Another of my problems: I also have another plant in the same bubbleponics and the roots have grown together so moving them into separate containers is out of the question. However, this plant doesn't have the first red hair...all still white. And so flushing the near ready one with the prettiest buds means flushing the nowhere near ready one. should i avoid flushing altogether this time. what would the outcome be of not flushing? would it hurt my overall outcome dramatically?
