When to flush? How much longer till harvest?

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.

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 has that been said yet plus it looks like you're at least 6 weeks out from being done.

Damn, 6 weeks! What’s going on During that time? Can these get any fatter? I’ve done quite a few mistakes and didn’t expect my mistakes to get yields any bigger than what I got right now...

They get done. Dude honestly they're not even close. They'll swell, ripen and all that. When did you flip to flower? An flushing is a load of horse shit plain and simple.

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.
This is seemly a myth to me. Every color rendering plant has tested mid to high 20s with high terps.

Got it. Just don’t want to be smoking any of that chemical shit .
I’m an organic type, but went with chemical cuz I had no clue what I was doing...
Then I would read everything I could on supersoils And organic growing. Imma gift you with this:

2 1/2 gal peat
2 1/2 gal worm castings or compost
2 1/2 gal aeration (perlite, pumice etc...)
thats 1 cubic foot of soil 7 1/2 gal

1 cup dolomite lime (because of the peat and ph buffering).

Nutrients
1 cup kelp meal
1 1/2 cup of a good all purpose organic dry fertilizer ( Tomato tone, dr Earth or down to earth). When you get more experience, start learning how to mic your own blends, but for now, this will take you through a full grow.

Minerals
4 cups of rock dust (Azomite, granite dust etc)

mix Well, moisten with chlorine free water and or compost tea. Don’t let it dry out and cook/ cycle for 3-4 weeks then it’s ready to use, water only with a worm tea or compost tea every 2-3 weeks.

it’s not hard bro. Once you get a few in, you can experiment with your own mixes or keep running this one. This is all based on 1 cubic foot of soil.

Been reading loads. Worm castings is a must! Thanks for that! Gonna note that down

They’re were flipped 48days ago. I had an issue with light and it was replaced 2 weeks in. (But IMO, the damage was already done).
If I can pull 1oz-1.5oz, I’d be VERY happy

48 days yah you still have plenty of time left before they're done. Figure at least 10 to 12 weeks for most plants.

That’s good info. What’s them breeders tryna do?
Check out this note on the Blimburnseeds.com web site. It is regarding Rocket Seeds and Crop King seeds selling counterfeit products. Likely bag seed from Spain going into breeder packs or counterfeit packs. Ever wonder what banks do with all those breeder packs they remove seeds from for shipping?

Maybe some clarity on flushing and leaching would be useful.
Flushing is literally dumping water through in quantity and maybe why some people are against it, it isnt required in coco and questionable on the whole if grow has gone somewhat well and not ridiculously overfed or lockouts, ph issues etc.
What you would be doing in coco is lowering ppm gradually until the end.
Then up to you if you want to water the last week without nutes. This is not flushing though.
Couple studies by nutrient companies say flushing is not necessary and end product is same regardless. This is often what people refer to when state some dumb comment like never flush or no without providing any relevant info. These studies are useful but terribly flawed so need to be taken as info to use and not gospel. One relevant point they make is that feeding nutes til the end has no benefit and a complete waste of money.
Generally a week or so of plain water in coco will be fine and based on current science, is the logical option.
All the best, peace

How shit I never knew roll it up hated giving water for the last week. Damn that’s a bummer. How else you folks get that fall colors and fade without very low temps? Hmmm. I give water at the end. Surprised a lot of you feed all the way. Interesting. Please don’t flame me. Just making conversation.

OP you’re still a month out easy
