Guess the week of flowering

[Rukus]

Some pics of my NL indoor grow in soil! Been feeding them and keeping pretty on top of them, except I have no idea what week of flowering they are in. I lost track ha ha. I’m just curious of some educated guesses, not sure if it’s time for flush or not! Hard to tell in pictures bit some pistils browning. Heavy thricome production.

5 weeks…

[HolyAngel]

yep guessing week 5, 6 at most.

[Rukus]

So, flush time??

[nefrella]

Yep 5 weeks about!!

[HolyAngel]

What, never! This is a hott topic but imo you should never flush ever at all, unless you burned the crap out of your plant(s) from too much nutrients, that’s the only time you should need to flush your plants. And then when you’re done running a few gallons through the pots, you’d resume a safer, less strong, feeding regimen.

If you flush now you’d be robbing the buds of all the nutrients they need to get big, tasty, and potent. Might as well throw the plant in the trash at that point Usually the bro science would say wait until the last week to flush but even then you don’t need to do that and it still robs the buds. The last two weeks is when they put on the most weight! (If they’re fed)

I would say you have at least 4 weeks to go before she’ll be ready for picking.

Thanks for the advice!!

Before we go into that loop again, the whole flush or no flush thing has been discussed here

To flush or not to flush?

I have recently found myself talking about flushing on this and other sites. I have a friend who uses the same clone as me. We sometimes compare our product to evaluate growing techniques and so forth, also a little healthy competition, hehe. I do not flush, he is at the other extreme and does a three week flush, which I think is excessive even for flushing. In order to keep his plants healthy, just before starting to flush he has a PPM of aroudn 1600, whereas the highest I go is just over 700…

(my guess would also have been week 5 to 6)

3-4 more weeks +/-
Wait for swollen calyx and amber trichome glands.
A magnifying glass will help when you’re close to the finish.

More recent opinions here, sorry for the autopropaganda …

To flush or not to flush, that is the question (Poll)

Well, as it seems to be “trending topic” lately , I am curious to find out the real followers these two options have. In case you do flush I would appreciate if you specify when, how do you know it and for how long. Thanks for your input … poll

@allotment & @George Thank you! Definitely seems like the place to go for that, I’ll remember that for next time and check them out while I’m at it ^^

Hydro, sure maybe flush if you were feeding heavy, but just last 3-4 days. Soil, why flush?! Maybe stop feeding the last week since there’s prob some nutrients left but shouldn’t need to. Organic fertilizers, no flush!

[SquirtleSquad]

Looks like start of week 5 to me

[Sasquatch]

Agree, looks 5ish to me as well!

[Seamonkey84]

Oh right! Forgot my guestimate, I also say 5 weeks, maybe 4

[Yooper63]

Looks like 5 weeks to me too. In my (limited) experience, once the pistils start to darken, it’s 3-4 weeks till harvest. Just my .02.
