You don't need too flush, too many people fail to understand that it is not necessary.

Plant looks lovely, you got lucky for a bag seed? from what was visible in the pics looks like another 2-3 weeks. its pretty common for trichs to be as you say "ready" before the plant is actually ready to harvest, what type of stone you going for?

I think instead of a timetable you make now, you should just keep monitoring trichs and forget the hairs. Are you taking several samples from each plant and examining trichs? I find it hard to believe you have ambering so early, at least much of it. If you do, I think you're ready to harvest now (but again, I think there is some confusion).

The trichs don't lie. More than 25% amber, and you already have thc deterioration going on.

yea id feed for another week or so, then start tapering off the nutrients for the next week, then nothing but water for the last week, that will give them 21 days to push out the rest of the buds and 7-14 days to work out all nutrients from the soil. just dont water the last 48 hours or so before the harvest, that helps cut down on dry time (and any possible mold), by a lot.

also make sure that if u do flush its is only for a 48 hour peroid as there is so much confusion on this pat if the grow.. well like normal with cannabis growing there seems to be no set in stone way.. this works for some another way for others. ive done both flushed and not flushed side by side both were great but the unflushed did yield 10 to 20 percent more i remember no no no the flushed plants seem to lose 10 t0 20 percent that how i remember it happening but no great improvement in taste. but i found that only a 2 day flush while on only 10 hours of light followed by 24 to 48 hour dark period for chopping seems work best for me and this is the way i do every time now . but i dont know if this could be strain thing as it white widow ive grown for the last 2 years.(also with the 2 day flush lower ppms gradually for the last 2 or so weeks)

it is true you dont have to flush but thats what commercial growers do to get extra weight. a flush takes that nasty edge off you get from feeding them to death, and you dont get all the fizzing and crackling from it when you smoke

Sorry mate, but what a load of Jackson pollox. If your weed is fizzing and crackling then it's down to your grow technique not because it wasn't flushed. By all means if you wonna starve your plant during fattening stage then thats up to you, your loss. :sad:

think you need to have a good read about it. mine dont fizz nd crackle because i grow properly leaching and flushing your plants helps with taste and overall burning of the weed FACT....
