I just finished the GH Flora 12 week schedule and they are clearly not ready for harvest, so I wanted to get some feedback on timing.

One is close to being ready for flush, but I'm not sure whether to give another week of nutes or start the flush tomorrow on schedule.

The rest I was going to repeat the ripen week again with the nutes.

Thoughts?

Thank you in advance!

Ok.

They look close to me but I don't really know anything about autos. They still have plenty of white hairs(not necessarily a deciding factor always) so I agree they may need more time. One of them looks ready or even past prime.

I did for the longest time with straight tap water. No ph'ing. But at this time I feed up to harvest. I can't tell the difference so it was just one added step. And even before that I flushed with ph'd water. That was yet another pain in the ass step.

I have tried to simplify my grow at every step I can.

They aint ready! All pistils still white and they are just fattening! Do not harvest.
can you lower your grow tent temperature? So plants think that season is changing and they maturr bit faster.

i see alot nutrient burns, you could lower your ec littlebit and let plants use their leaves to absorb nutrients they need.

dont flust them yet bro, you have dwc so flushing doesnt take much time like it does on soil.wait for brown pistils to curve in and nuggets atleast 70% brown hairs, even more

Weeks (start count when first flower appears, do not count grow phase) and no flush just lower feed...

Thanks for the tips! EC is what? I'm a newbie. Also what can I expect as far as yield wet vs dry just the buds no stems?

EC is electrical conductivity (also know as ppm) and it means amount of feed inside your water said very simply. For sure you will need one in the future because I see you are burning them. What you can expect I can not say but they look nice. Do not feed them anymore...

Yes. A TDS meter will measure PPM, whereas an EC meter measures Electrical Conductivity. Some meters will display results in both.

A TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter is simply an EC meter that calculates the PPM based off of the water's EC.

If you get an EC only meter, you can easily and quickly convert that number to PPM, and vice-versa for a TDS meter to EC.
