Hello ! So it doesn't seem too far from now to start flushing and preparing for harvest. One has nute burn but it didnt slow its growth . its now day 53 and i flushed my girls i will be chopping em on day 60. Since i have no microscope . i will be going based off the 60 day average. Thanks for reading.

"FLUSH"???

Did someone say flush?

Final "FLUSH" is a myth! Perpetuated by nutrient companies and taken from old hippie logic.....

You can not "Flush" anything from a plant. The plant does not work that way!

All the fucking magazines say flush because they would loose advertising dollars if they told the truth....

Go ahead and stop feeding for the last 2 weeks of bloom - the bulking phase.....Kinda shooting yourself in the foot..eh?

Don't bother Chemmy, we done this before.....I still say the fade is bogus too.... Last 2 weeks - stop any extra N,Mg and K use. These things reduce THC production.
In soil, you can stop feeding the last 3 days or so. The soil contents will carry you out...

The real key is knowing when those last 2 weeks really are!

WOW! Thanks for all the feedback first off. I've just fed them yesterday after i flushed them and wasn't at my house for 3 days so i couldn't watch them after the flush they honestly needed the flush cause of nutrient burn i burned slightly almost every feed. :wall:. But they seem to look great for my first grow :mrgreen:.. I wish i had fed them after the flush cause i have a few defs. I fed them a rather smaller feeding so i know i dont burn them. Other then that they seem just fine i notice they are getting a bit happier already after the feed early in the day yesterday so they had the whole 12 hours to absorb the light with its new feed 8-). Thanks guys i'll have stay posted and get the microscope.:roll:

I have a harbor freight by me but they never have loupes. I wonder if it's a regional thing?

lol...but I agree. you actually are suggesting fading/eliminating any extra N, Mg, and K. This is precisely what I advise and practice. I skip the last bi weekly feeding, and I never use excess N, Mg, or K to be concerned with. we agree amigo. keep in mind there is plenty of even visible fertilizers in the pot in the last weeks to the end, I just dont add more in those last couple because that turn out to be "extra" here and not necessary

in hydro all the directions "fade" like this too. If they wanted to sell more ferts they would advise feeding full strength right to the end, producing an awful tasting plant, but really really green. Instead they mellow out the ppm's in the last couple weeks too. we got this, and it aint nuthin to do with flushing, not sure why folks do this.

I beg to differ with the clip on model. Found it too hard to keep image focused. And got the scope all gummed up with trichs.

I'd suggest a 40x^ loupe. That way you don't have to practically be touching the buds to see anything.
