Hey guys I just have some basic questions. Heres my setup . I dont know how big my closet is but I am running 7 plants under a 1000 watt and they are all mostly in basic ace hardware soil. I am running all harborside cuttings and all different strains. Some of my strains are closer to finishing and I'd like to know your guys input on how many weeks\days you think is left? I have some good pics and good info on all of the strains so you should be able to give me an accurate reading. Anyhow here we go ill start the pics All of my plants are on day 47 of flowering. The Tahoe OG got 2 more weeks of veg than the rest.
(Will do a trichome update in a few days.) I am using basic fox farms nutes for all grow big big bloom

My first and in my opinion closest to being done is my strawberry cough. It seems to be an indica based hybrid . Mind you all of my plants are pretty small minus 1 or 2. This is currently day 4 of it flushing

The stems on it are pretty weak for some reason I have pretty good wind in my room most of my stalks are pretty nice but this one just has weak ones. Smells like fresh strawberrys about 75% of hairs are a nice bright orange. Dripping in trichomes. First time giving growing pot an actual go may I mind you guys :)

Next is my littlest plant. This plant gave me problems from the get go up until its last week of veg. It has taken off since and has some nice chunky little stinky buds on it. The strain is KGDP and an indica dominant plant. My question on this one is when should I flush this little guy? she has a nice thick main cola that is not quite there yet. Im thinking give her another week then flush. The cola is already putting out purple and its not even getting flushed yet :)

Next up would be my Tahoe O.G . This guy got 2 more weeks of veg time than the rest of the plants. She is pretty huge and has nice popcorn buds all over. I know it is a very strong sativa hybrid. This fucking plant is dripping in trichomes. I feel that it needs about 2 more weeks then ill start it on its 2 week flush. I want to get the most weight out of this bad boy i can. Deffinitely one of my favorites in the room.One thing to note is the light isnt high enough for this guy so he sits in the corner of the room. My question is what is your opinion on how long I should wait until I flush this girl?

Next up is my purple cadillac. Strong indica dominant and its on day 2 of flushing. Already pushing out more purple then yesterday , have a feeling the bud is gonna end up completely purple. Am I right to be flushing this plant? Should I wait for my whole 2 week flush? When would you guys harvest this plant?

My favorite. This sativa beauty has the fattest cola on it and smells like blueberry candy :) Blue Dream. This plant I feel has around the same range of time until shes done as the Tahoe O.G as they are both strong sativas.

Okay, you asked for it.
Flushing soil is a terrible idea, unless you want to stress your plants and lower your yield.
Putting 5 gallons of plan water through a small pot is just dumb. You wash away stuff the plant needs to live.
Buds do not store fertilizer, that is a myth.

There is no science behind flushing. I have never understood why soil people think they need to do it. It is for hydro people that have fed too much.
I run coco and feed up to the day before I pick. Dry and cure properly and you will have great weed.


(waits for flushers to freak out)

I don't give them 5 gallons of water. I give them about 1 1/2 gallons of pure water every watering for 2 weeks that's my idea of a flush

They look pretty much done to me. Since it is only day 47 I would be tempted to let them go a little longer anyway. I wouldn't worry about flushing unless they were super dark green, as in over-fertilized. Yours have already used up the nutes so they are about ready to harvest imo. Are they supposed to be a 45 day strain? I had a 45 day strain for years but when I started letting them go 60 I liked them even better.

I was planning on cutting down the Purple Cadillac and the strawberry cough this Wednesday. That would be day 54-55 .
