To be fair. The nice looking colorful plants usually are not as potent. From what I have read and seen comments on. And this colorful plant does not seem to be very potent.

Have to wait and see how it compares to the larger green sister who is still in the tent. Chop this weekend maybe.

I have everything ready for my next grow.
Gonna go for a Pineapple Express & Jackherer grow. Both photoperiods.
I’ve made lots of mistakes in my first grow and so I’m pretty pumped to get started on my second.
I do have 1 more question if you don’t mind:
Say this grow is over in 1 month, so the tent will be free and ready for the Pineapple Express. Can I start the seeds 2 weeks from now, so they will be 2 weeks old when moved into the tent.
The only problem I can think off is that the environment won’t be that great cuz all I have besides the tent is a propagation tray&dome.

so would you suggest I start the seeds when the tent is free or I start the seeds outside the tent(in my bedroom actually) 2 weeks in advance?
I do have a separate grow light so they’ll get plenty of light.

First I must say this: THIS IS MY FIRST GROW EVER! SO DONT SHIT ON ME OR CALL ME A PLANT RAPIST!


Alright, so tomorrow the plants will be entering day 49 (7 weeks) of flower (since switch).

I can def see they’ve fattened up.
I’d say 30% - 40% of pistils turned brownish.
Plant looks healthy with very light tip burn.

Now I know breeder info is sometimes off, but if I were to follow their guidelines, I should be harvesting next week.

Here is my question for all you lovely people:
When do I start the flush? (Growing in Coco)
I read that in coco in should be 1 week before harvest...
So I guess the real question is how many more days till harvest so I know when to flush?

I’ve included several photos (one time of them under a x30)

Let me know! I will take any advice and tips with open arms!

Never flush and another 4-6 weeks.

Obepawn’s answer seems better than your simple “no”. Thanks anyways

Is there a difference in taste? Some people swear by flushing...

Some people also swear they were abducted by aliens. First thing is stop looking at trichomes. Those white pistils you see standing up, they are a sure sign you are not done. When those pistils stop stretching and recede back you check the trichomes if you need to. Get a cheap $15 USB microscope to take the guess work out. In time you will lean to judge without it but as a first time grower it couldn't hurt.

As for flushing, I say don't do it. Sure people swear it tastes better but I don't agree. In the end just grow healthy plants and don't chop them early. After you get that down you can experiment with all the bro science. Good luck. These charts may help you.
