What would pistils receding and cylaxs swelling look like, exactly?..
Also, if the other plants aren’t quite as developed yet…do I continue feeding those ones, and start flushing this one?.. i was tryna water/feed them all on the same schedule, but maybe I should start keeping a log if they aren’t all aren’t gonna be growin at the same pace… Thanks dude! @ReikoX
My girls JUST started week 7(42days) today… and I’m wondering if I should go another week with nutes, or if I should start flushing today?.. what do YOU guys think? I’ll take some pics in a bit, if needed…
That’s an argument that people have had for years haha. Some people think starving the plant just as it’s ripening is stupid, some people think flushing helps burn off excess nutes in the soil and the plant can use them up.
Tbh I haven’t noticed a big difference either way. I just feed a bit lower for the last 1-2 weeks, especially lower nitrogen if possible.
If you show some pics we can see if they seem over or underfed and that can help you decide what to do.
The problem with it, as I see it, is that unless you’re working with absolutely known genetics you are taking a guess as to when they will finish. 55 days? 62 days? Do you know this for sure?
I prefer to let the plant tell me when it’s ready instead of me telling it to hurry up.
…And no, I’m not for certain on my strains grow duration.
Maybe I’ll just water today, then see how they look in a couple days…perhaps I’ll feed ONE last time, then flush till more of those pistils shrink up and turn color ?..
I’d keep feeding as you have been for now personally, you’ve got at least 2 weeks left. When they start showing more signs of ripening you could consider dropping the nutes down if you wanted.
I feed my girls high P K the last 2 weeks and the last 3days before harvesting plain water just to get them to take the last of the nutes…You have a few weeks to go yet looking at your bud development.they are looking good.
Try’d to get some clear close up pics…
I’m thinking of harvesting in like a week?..I’m getting super tired of flushing these beezys lol. They’re about to finish their 8th week of flower in 3 days, and i’ve flushed them all at least twice in the past 5 days. Sadly, the runoff is coming up 6.8-7.15 so a couple more flushes are probably a must. Also, I think the triomes (or whatever) look sorta milky white…and the pistils seem to be pretty dark, actually darker than I was aiming for. What do you dudes think?..
Getting close but not quite ‘there’ yet.
I suggest you wait another 3 days and then take some more shots to compare the progression. I like to see a few (5%) amber trichomes in the mix.
^ ya exactly that haha. Alot of people would harvest where you are now, but personally I like to see a bit of amber as well which you should start seeing any day now.
