Hey guys here are some pix of my grow. just want some advice on how much longer do i wait till i start flushing?

However 1 of the strain recently put out some new leaves on top. The wierd thing is that the medium branches nugs starts to get dense and the hair on them starts to turn orange, while the top cola is still fluffy and putting out pure white hair and new leaves.

Here is a basic setup of mygrow.
Secret Jardin DR120 3'9" x 3'9" x 6'5"
600 hps light set up
3'x3' ebb/flow
3 x 10 mins Nutrient feedings each light on.
6 x 20 mins co2 feedings 20 each light on.

Day 42 FLOWERING

if the strain takes about 6 weeks from start of flowering to harvest I feel then bloom food for the first 2 weeks then late bloom for 2 weeks then start flushing and you proibly could harvest each part as they are ready to get harvested till they are all ready

Looks like at least two weeks on those. Possible the bottom nugs will finish faster.

yea the bottom of my plants were starting to get ready sooner then the bottom part. and as for the flushing if your seeing amber hairs then start flushing

Flowering Question - Would having the light on time on as long as I can but still get the plant to flower give me a higher yeild per plant? and would it make the buds more dence?

i need the shit to be out by the 22nd. Girlfriend inspector is coming. Can't prolong it any longer. I've been driving 2 hrs each time to visit her for the past 2 months i think it's getting on her nerve.

I am thinking about start flushing in 5 days and give it a 1 week flush with fresh daily water. how does that sound? and i was thinking about breaking into 2 harvest top nugs first then chop the bottom. But the problem is that one of this mother fucker is slapping on new growth which seems to have stopped recently.

Stick with 12/12 lighting for flower. Typically no plant takes less than 8 weeks. Sometimes 12+ weeks for heavier sativas. I look at hairs and trichs. When they are all cloudy I start flushing. This seems to correspond with about 50% or so red hairs. I dont pull till I see 50-70% amber trichs. FDD has posted some great threads on when to harvest.

the strain I have was showing amber hairs on the end of week 4 and its week 5 so it should be ready soon

If you need them to finish quicker stop nuting. Flush the pot with 3 to 4 times as much water to soil. Water only as necessary. Before chopping let the soil dry up a bit. Leaves should turn yellow and fall off towards the end.

I take it the GF has no idea you smoke, grow, etc?? Bad setup if you intend to smoke for life...LOL

dosen't co2 speed up the cycle process? i am hoping that i can finish in time. i would prolly cut the more mature nugs at day 50 and the rest at day 54.
