Lost track of days in flower...

I wouldn't chop them yet, personally. I realize you have almost lost all your fan leaves but I'd give her another week. Just my opinion.

Scope your trics, but there's still plenty of big fat pistuls, and until the overwhelming majority of them are orange / brown and receded, I wouldn't chop it yet.

If by lost; you mean, yellowed is because I've been flushing for 10 days. How much longer were you thinking? I've notice amber trics have started to develop.

If it was me, I'd give it at least a week, or until the pistils are receded / change colors. IMO, you could still add some weight if you do wait.

There's a good thread on here somewhere that talks about harvest time and THC degradation in the trics. Search for it, and it may help you decide. Regardless, even if you harvest now, you'll have a good product, but with more time it just might be better bro.

Best of luck regardless.

I would keep flushing bro for 2weeks max
Yeah i normally only flush for 14 days. But I caved in and bought some weed so I could let my plant go longer. Would organic nutes need a flush?[/QUOTE]
no, and you would only need to flush non-organic if you really noticed salt build up or the plant was having issue's. If not I wouldn't bother it just starves the plant nearing it's end where 60% of thc is created.

Is it possibly to flush to long? All of my leaves are yellow and I'm not ready to harvest.. Should I wait or chop? image.jpg

yeah they are yellow because you are starving the plant, what exactly do you think flushing does? Not tryin to be a dick, but, you AREN"T feeding it, sooo, yeah, it's got a deficiency. The "flush or not to flush" thing is always going to be argued, i think you probably didn't need to flush to begin with, and now that plant is starving.
Do NOT chop, the picture indicates you have more time to go, hard to tell you for sure, but i'd say at least another 10 days, maybe longer...
Next time, just dial in your nute plans a lil better, and forget about flushing

I know flushing starves a plant, but after some point it has to do harm. I started my flush way to early and i don't want to lose some thc just for some extra weight

Again, plants DO NOT need flushing, they do not store nitrogen, potassium and other nutrients. The nutrients are converted and stored as "Sugars" which the plant then uses for food. Flushing starves the plant when you are growing non-organic, meaning your feeding nitrogen and the likes from concentrates into your soil. Yellowing has occurred from deficiency. Like Greese said, don't cut yet. Start feeding nutes around 1200ppm or whatever the recommendation is.

you kidding? I'm from the school of thought that flushing is not needed, at all. BUT i do feel the need to say that i'm all organic. I understand you are still tryin to get the hang of this. I highly recommend reading on organic growing, it's not that hard at all.
I'm not sure i understand your statement regarding extra weight, flushing will NEVER add weight, it'll only decrease weight, now if you have an issue with build-up or whatever, then that's different, but grown correctly, you'll never need to flush.
It probably won't lose thc%, but overall your nugs will be less, so in that regard your harvest will suffer a bit.
Stop flushing... If you are compelled to do so, i'd look at the organic section, you'll probably be happier with your end product.
As always, see my signature....
