Week 7 - Will an extra week over ripen?

This is one of my plants 2 days into week 7. I’m growing in Coco and I haven’t flushed yet, but I was hoping to over the next 3-4 days.

Is this ready to harvest in a few days or should I wait a week or more? I don’t want my trichomes to reach the Amber stage, but I’m not sure how quickly that happens (over days or weeks).

This is my second grow and I was completely ignorant my first time to the timing of harvest and I still am to an extent. Trichomes are somewhat milky, but I don’t think I’m at 70% orange pistils.

Awesome, thank you for the fast reply! I really appreciate it. I’ve been successful so far, with everything and I’m trying not to screw it all up at the end.

AT LEAST a week. More likely 2!

FLUSHING IS A MYTH!
So is the "fade"

Like I said before, this is my second grow and I’m certainly trying to learn to do a proper dry and cure. That’s why I’m here asking experienced members their opinions when I find conflicting information.

The challenge is, almost all information I find is conflicting because everyone has different recipes, methods, and ideas about what’s right and wrong. That goes for everything from nutrition to lighting to humidity all the way to curing and drying.

Have you tried flushing vs not flushing? What were the outcomes?

I am a college educated Grower with over 45 years under my belt.
Ran over a 10 acre greenhouse complex while in my AG science studies
Ran the Yew farm for Bristol Myers Squib that produced "Taxol". A breast cancer drug. This farm was measured in square miles of space and at the peak. Had 24 million plants at one or another stage of growth.

I now CEO a 6 organic farm co-op.

You can not reduce the chemical content's of the plant in the way you think! Don't bring up the "FADE" either.

As the plant finds less or NO nutrition available at the roots. It will feed on "it's self" and move the nutrition from the leaves and such. RIGHT to where your trying to remove it from - THE BUDS!

READ THIS and thanks again for that V...

New Research Shows Flushing Plants Before Harvest May Be Unnecessary

In a blind taste test, researchers have found that many prefer cannabis that has not been flushed before harvest.

Sounds Iike an impressive resume and thank you for taking the time to respond. So to one point, you’re saying that there is no nutritional benefit of flushing or detriment for feeding close to harvest, but that you don’t feed to the end because it saves on nutrient costs. Got it. Thanks again.

Yup!

See, when you feed in soil? It takes 5-7 days for that feeding. To actually be doing something for the plant.
So? Why bother to spend $ by applying feeds, that the plant won't get to use.
