When to flush? How much longer till harvest?

[Tintin1997]

First I must say this: THIS IS MY FIRST GROW EVER! SO DONT SHIT ON ME OR CALL ME A PLANT RAPIST!


Alright, so tomorrow the plants will be entering day 49 (7 weeks) of flower (since switch).

I can def see they’ve fattened up.
I’d say 30% - 40% of pistils turned brownish.
Plant looks healthy with very light tip burn.

Now I know breeder info is sometimes off, but if I were to follow their guidelines, I should be harvesting next week.

Here is my question for all you lovely people:
When do I start the flush? (Growing in Coco)
I read that in coco in should be 1 week before harvest...
So I guess the real question is how many more days till harvest so I know when to flush?

I’ve included several photos (one time of them under a x30)

Let me know! I will take any advice and tips with open arms!

Oh no! Please refrain from using the "F-word" on this forum. Lol

Just kidding. By the looks of them though, you have weeks left.

When you say weeks, are we talking on the lower or higher end? 2 weeks, 5 weeks?

I DONT GET IT!! Lol

u guys against a flush?

Continue feeding for 2 more weeks. Maybe 3. Then just use plain ph water after that. Don't run gallons of water through your plant if that is what you consider "flush".

Way more than 2 weeks. My guess is at least 4 weeks.

You'll find out!

But you should be lowering your feed at this point. So feed less and less. Then stop feeding for the last week or 2.

Lol, as newbie I have no opinion on a flush. I’m feeding 800ppm rn, how low should I go in the next week?

You still have your second round of white pistils coming. i Don’t see any that have curled under yet. when Your second round of white pistils start turn brownish, check tricks. If mostly cloudy, start flushing.

PS: when a breeder says, 60-days flower, add another two weeks.

Thanks! I wasn’t aware of a second round of pistils. Based on your experience, how much longer you think?
Checking tricks everyday now lol (prolly a bit early

Just less and less as the plant ages. It is one of those thing you kinda learn after a few grows. The plant does not need a lot of food the last few weeks. It is done the majority of the growing by this point. Your buds are full grown for the most part. They will just get fat with time. To me it looks like at this point you should be at your highest feed...but from now on you go down. So maybe 600....then 400...then 200...then 0

Lol. Yeah...a month early haha. When they look like this. Start checking trichs. I had zero white hairs on this plant and still only saw a few amber.

Agree with Northwood, about a month left to go. No flush, keep feeding them, but you can reduce your ppms a bit near the end if you want-but it doesn't really make a difference.

That is really good looking. Do you mean you had zero white hair as in at all? I thought all cannabis grew white pistils? Yours look about ready, right? Do you happen to have a pic from 1month ago?

Thanks man! A month it is then. I saw some brown pistils and was like “yup, it’s ready” lol

Yes they started out with lots of white hairs. Then they turned brown over time. I didn't even check trichs till 99% were brown.

That’s the most delicious looking color I’ve seen in a while!
But is that for all strains? Like would you suggest I too wait for all white hairs to disappear?

Every plant is different. But there is certainly no need to check when you have 90% white hairs. It is your first grow. Check when every you want. See for yourself how they mature as they age.
