Hi can somebody please help me!
Its my first time growing and iv been trying to find the answer to my problems for a while but nobody seems to be helping, Your suppose to stop feeding your plants nutrients 2 weeks before you harvest right? and also harvest them wen 75% of the white hairs turn brown,but the problem i have is,wen do i stop feeding them nutrients?how long does it take for the hairs to turn brown?iv noticed a hair on one of my plants has turned brown,should i stop feedin them nutrients now in time for the hairs to have turned brown?.......does that make sense?i hope somebody knows what i mean
Thanks
Any help will be appreciated xx

Stop feeding at two to three weeks. A rule of thumb is to harvest when 50-80 percent of the trichs have turned brown. Some people say when they are a milky color is when they harvest.

2 -3 weeks before you harvest... you just give the plants ph checked water for two weeks to flush the chemicals from the nutes out of the plant ... good luck ...

The hairs turn red/orange according to the maturity of the plant, not when you stop feeding it nutrients. If you had a microscope able to see the trichomes you would look at them and then decide if it is time to start flushing. A good 30% of the hairs on mine are red/orange, I think it is time to start flushing the plant.

I get the question. It's "how will you KNOW when you're 2 weeks to harvest?" Just estimate and try to get a feel. How quickly have the hairs been changing? Go by that to get a feel for when harvest will be. It'd be better to flush too much than too little, so be generous with how soon you do it. You can give 'em a tablespoon of molasses per gallon of water too.
