The last 2 weeks of flower are the most important...... well thats wat ive heard a few ppl around here say:leaf:
How can it be the most important when you stop the nutes and start to flush ? I'm wondering whether or not to feed one more time on the BB before I start to flush what do you think 4:20 ,I will be flushing with molasses in the water i've read this is ok ,my last feed was canna PK 13/14 about 1.5ml in 2 litres with a teaspoon of molasses ,still have half of that left and might just feed them tomorrow and then flush from then on :bigjoint:

It is advised that you stop using your cannabis flowering fertilizer 2 weeks before harvest time to ensure that all chemicals are out of the plant. If chemicals are in the plant when you harvest, the smoke will be very harsh. To prevent harshness, flush the plants heavily with fresh water 2 weeks prior to harvesting them. Ensure you flush at least 3 times the capacity of your pot. So a 4 gallon pot would be flushed with 16 gallons of fresh water. From that point water your plants with pure water, absolutely NO additives should be given to the plant. This is especially important if you have been using chemical fertilizers.


This is the time when the bulk of the final, "usable" part of the plant is produced. As you may well already know, there are over four hundred separate chemicals associated with cannabis and her effects. It is during the final bud-building stage that most of these chemicals are produced. Thus, it is very important to give the plant as much pure water as possible during this crucial period. I like to remember it as the "rinse" and "flush" cycle. Simply remember to give the plants only water for the last two to three weeks in order to rinse and flush them clean. This is to purge unwanted impurities from the plant


I just took this of a site hope it helps:joint:

3 weeks curing that means you wait a month after chopping before you taste your fruits :bigjoint: I don't fancy waiting that long,curing for 1 week or 2 would that be enough to sample ,i would still be storing it in the jars but i want the finished product to be the best it can be :bigjoint:

its simple really, just grow more next time! the last stuff you smoke will be the best after a couple months curing;-)

not as easy as that shrigpiece:roll: grow more huh ,its a space thing isn't it ,you can only fit so many plants in a certain space:rolleyes: which is why next time i'm thinking scrog or small pots and lollipopping ,the lower branches don't seem to get much light on mine and too many little buds ,so my theory is keep em small with big buds :bigjoint: what do you think

definetly lollypop, im doing it in my next grow, pushes al the auxins to the colas resulting in larger colas. you can top or fim as well. i do it 2 weeks before flicking to 12/12. also consider molasses. can you extend the growroom a foot? it'll give you 1 or 2 more plants, seeing as your old dear is cool.:fire:

I will do more reading on lollipopping shrigpiece :dunce::leaf::bigjoint: but as for extending i will probably making it smaller remember the big double reflector i have is only on loan to me so next time all i will have is the powerplant with 250w and the 2 85w but they are all 2700k so unless i get a 6500k i might have to flower from seed,have you ever done this ,would this be ideal for lollypopping
also why do you mention molasses I have been using it 1-2 weeks now but i have read that it should be unsulphured molasses where mine is sulphured molasses what affect can this have on the plant or flavour? :bigjoint:
