So im 6 weeks in to flower around day 47, and i know i got at least 2 or 3 weeks left on her but my question is when should i start flushing?

the trichs are almost all clear very few milky but i really dont see the buds getting bigger.

Are the buds going to keep growing at this time? or thats it for them just wait till the trichs are 50-50 amber and milky?

p.s for size reference on the buds there about the size of a full size bic lighter.

When the hairs are 75% red and the leaves start to turn yellow. and if its hydro you can see the roots turn orange that's about when and if u want to flush...

I've got 2 girls outdoors and am debating starting a flush on the 1 next watering. They're calling for frost tonight and I'm scared shitless. The hairs on the one are 75% red but no yellow leaves yet. The other plant is just starting to turn red now. It gets less sun then the other one though so I hope it makes out ok.

2 of the guys I have been learning from have different ways to clip after harvest. 1 guy clips all the leaves off right away and just has the bud left on the plant so there's less of a chance of mold but the other guy says keep a fan going and clip the leaves off after. What do ya think????

i clip all leaves when i cut them... if theres frost coming cut now asap.... leave the buds on small stems dont leave the whole plant in contact... just have fresh air circulating not directly at them and leave in tottal darkness till the stems snap.... then bag em in zip lock bags or use jars.... open 3 times a day till nice and fluffy....

this is my first grow and im not there yet but i had two accidents involving buds with my plant and decided to clip then dry on one bud and the other i just left like it was , there on a jar now and im still waiting to see how it turns out.
i think that the clipped one is going to look and smoke better .
