im pretty concerned about my buds tasting like chemicals since i am using miracle gro. i did see someone post that the plants put their energy stores (include nutrients?) back into the soil at night. is this true? and if so, could i just wait a few hours in the dark period and then cut my plants hoping to reduce the amount of fertilizer in the buds?
harvest at night?

how long has the plant been growing in the miracle grow. if its more that or around three months then you could prolly just flush for a week or so before harvest if your concerned. ive heard that even flushing isnt necessary sometimes. but ide still use it just in case,

flush for a week or two to get rid of bad taste
if i cut this weekend, the last time i gave nutes would be 2 weeks from harvest date, and the first time giving plain water was 1 week ago (2 gallons for each 2 gallon pot). i was thinking about taking the plants out and doing another flush tomorrow, but i cant tell you how big of a pain in the ass it is with my setup (ive ripped stems since my two pots are squeezed in). if i could, id rather just water it a few more times, but id rather take the inconvenience than smoke buds that give me head aches from fertilizer
i started around august 1st, so its been about 3.5 months.

You want to harvest early in the morning becuase the thc is the most potent then

First thing... My girlfriends morning schedule is waking up at 10, eating lunch at 12. By then your plants are already at mid-day.... Jorge said to do it within the first hour or so that your lights come on.
