Only 6 weeks, but looks really close. Almost there?

I have a green crack currently in the flower box that looks really close to being ready, but it has only been 6 weeks or about 45 days. I read that green crack could be a very quick maturing strain, but could it be this quick? it is in soil too.

Looks nearly done but only way to truly tell is with a microscope on the trichs. Where you have a 50/50 or 60/40 of amber - cloudy color trichs.

Definitely let her go another week or even two though.

thanks yall, i was gonna flush it out tomorrow and just ph'd water it for 2 more weeks and see how that goes. im using bio canna organic stuff so maybe if it looks good within the week that should be enough flushing?

also, those are 3 of the biggest top colas. there are a ton of smaller ones below the scrog. they are below it because i scrogged it for another plant i just put in, and just poked those through as much as i could. so would it be advisable to just harvest the big ones and see if the smaller ones below will fatten up?

im pretty new at this and asked this in another thread and havnt got an answer there yet, but when yall say flush for 2 weeks am i supposed to water the plant with 9gal (3gal pot) of water daily or just once 2 weeks prior to chop and then water normally without nutes for the remaining 2 weeks?

Start your flush now... and flush for at least a week or little longer then chop her and she will be perfect.

sounds good. ill do a full flush tonight and continue with the Ph'd water until the trichs turn. if they come out well i may have to hold on to a mother and start sogging haha. thanks again yall.

supernugs, ph'd water, to my knowledge, is just water that has been properly PH'd for the plant. Normally around 6.5 for soil and 5.5 for hydro. if not within a few points of those numbers the plant will start to display odd symptoms. you can order some pretty big bottles of General Hydroponics brand ph up and down to adjust your ph accordingly. and a decent to good electric PH meter is also a time/life saver, but those can run you from $80-$200 approx.

from what i have gathered, it is best to flush the nutrients that you used during the flowering stage approx 2 weeks before you think they will be done to rid of all the nutes from the plant which is said to give the buds a not-so-great flavor.

yea thats right, you should add a tbsp of molasses to the water to give it some carbs and sugars for a lil energy. it also helps the buds fatten up and taste sweeter. i just did that with my plant and could tell a difference.

yeah i was using molasses for a while till i ran out, and recently have been too lazy to go to the store to get some more haha. but they are looking ok and Al B debated pretty hard on how molasses does nothing, so im not overly worried about it. however, if im at the store i will pick up another bottle
