Those girls are starting to look pretty good. But why did you flush them?

Only flush on a regular basis if you have very hard water (to avoid calcium buildup) or if your house has a water softener (to avoid saline toxicity). Otherwise you could be flushing precious nutrients away from our plants.

I agree, a flush is necessary before harvest but I usually wait until 7-10 days before harvest not 14-17. :wink: If I'm using a clearing solution I have waited up to 5 days before harvest.

Anyway, :thumbup:. Keep us updated!

Yup, feed until about a week, week and a half, before harvest. After you flush them well, continue to water until 2-3 days before harvest, you want the pots to be just starting to dry out when you chop them. I like to use distilled water for flushing and watering up to the last as it has no dissolved minerals or salts to counteract the flushing and starving.

to really ripen i'd say you may need a little more than 2.5 weeks until harvest.




I might have to second that. If you really want to know for sure, go to radioshack and buy a jewelers loop. Its a hand held 30x microscope with an led in it. You can tell the peak time to harvest by the color of the trichomes.

50% amber is a bit late to flush, those are going to need to be harvested in ~3 days or so, when the trichs are 100% amber which is too stony IMHO. I would start to flush the other two asap in order to have them flushed for a week before they too get to 50-50. You're so close now, good luck with the harvest!
