What do ya think man. I was just curious about how long till I wanna flush. And when I flush, just straight water or can I add a little molasses as a chelator or whatever? Oh yeah. The strain is a headband sour diesel cross from what I'm told and its been growin under the sun in a climate controlled greenhouse
looks good, you have at least 3 weeks. if not 5ish

I was told to cut em off too(the fan leaves) is this false? Can I crop early if Im worried about how high it is and the view from the neighbors if Im a week or two early?
do not cut off any leaves!!!!
you can cut it down somewhat early, but the last few weeks are the most important part if the plants healthy for developement to that dank sweetness

oh i have a question real fast. if you are unsure about when to harvest and your plants go longer then they should, how much time is there between ultimate ripeness and over ripeness? basically i want to know if i let them go too long, how long is bad? my goal is to NOT let this happen, but as i stated, i think one of my plants are done. its sitting in the corner, so i cant tell. but i just looked at it and it gave that "finished" appearance. but it could just be extra frosty. im super uber colorblind. its going to be the death of me i tell you!
he said you can harvest too late, but I do not think it ever really happens. BAsically the thc is converted into other cchems, such as cbd and I cant recall the others, but if you leave it way way too long it will go to shit. but dont worry about it

So, after lookin it up I'm going to just use PH adjusted water. Can anyone tell me if I should be flushing now or wait it out a little longer?
all you need to do is use spring water, chipewa or buhl are the good in my area. Dont flush yet, yo have a long ways to go.ANd if ur using organics its not critical to flush, unleass you use way too much nutes,
 

thanks but no danks

im DEF looking for the couch-lock type of high. no energy if possible. if i want energy ill drink a redbull. i am with you with the couch-lock type of high. i started them about 3.5 weeks ago. so, yeah they do have a while still. but i looked at one this morning and it had the appearance of looking done. it just looks really crystal-e already is all. i have mad patience. i just do not want to wait too long. i knew you could over ripen. and i know that effects the quality. and that is why im a little nervous. first grow. i want it to be perfect!

thank you for the post! i will be using this pic as my wallpaper/screen saver until the day of ripeness. just sucks i threw them in there at different times. that is going to confuse me a little bit.
i agree, i like a head high but those seem to give me a less long lasting high and i sometimes wonder if im even high lol, but when i smoke bud with dark trichomes, i know it, i love that feeling :D a nice stone with some r & r :D

Hey, thanks buddy! It gives me a ballpark for when flushing should start. A few of the pistils have turned orange but I would only say 10%. Sure lookin dusted in trichs though. Appreciate it rocknratm

i like to wait till i want to chop them then convince myself to wait another 5 days or just till the weekend. going based on look if 50% of the hairs are dead maybe get the scope out see some ambers on the top tops but then comb through it if the top is 20 percent amber trics im good as long as the hair on the bottom under buds are close to half dead with milky trics if not wait a lil and realy i dont start my flushing untill i look at a plant and think wow i could trim that up right now so at that point when you flush it seems like it forces the finish too
