When do i start using just clear water (no nutes). Before or after the trics start truning cloudy. I hear to use just water 2 weeks before cutting down. but ive never read how long it takes from when the trics start turing cloudy to when its time to cut down. no one gives a time frame on that, just whateve you visualy see. but i want to time it out so when my two weeks of clear water is up, the trics will be cloudy and ambery.
ive also read that most plants takee roughly 9 weeks. so could i safely guestimate startusing clear water at 7 weeks into budding and at 9 weeks cut them down. im currently workin on buying a microscope. i hear tha radioshack has some a 60 x 100 should be fine, i think.

when i noticed some of the trichomes not clear anymore i would flush then that would give you about 2.5 weeks to give straight water

SWEET thanx for the quick response.

Im afraid I dont think i can flush them though. as this is my first grow. the plants really took over my closet. their JAM PAKED their. I didnt think they would get so paked in their. i belve taking them out will casue alot of shaking around possibl breaking branches. and than tring to cram them back intheir aint gonna be pretty either. id hate to wipe my crytaly buds againts the wall or door and lose those trics and other good stuff on the buds.

If you have a few different plants you should experiment. Like you could start flushing one now one in a week or two and one fert straight to harvest.

A lot of people dont flush at all until the watering before harvest. One guy said he doesn't flush at all because he tried what i just suggested and taste no difference. Only difference was the buds were bigger on the one he kept fertilizing.....

im trying this right now but i only have 3 plants..

Just use a hose to syphon out the warer.....it's better when you flush!!
