Hahaha. "Just tell em its flushed" Fucking legend.

Well said. I'm sure everyone who trys the finished product will be honest with me about how it turns out! I'm growing it for friends and family who come visit. Once it was legalized in MA, it dawned on me that I always have beer and wine on hand to offer guests, why not bud? I don't smoke, but I...

That sounds reasonable to me. Plus with the reading I just started doing, I think I'm officially out of the flushing camp. For this grow at least. I'll experiment on the next run and see what's what for myself.

From the quick reading I just did now, it seems like flushing can be beneficial, but it depends on grow media, over all goal of the grow, and the scale of the grow operation. So for my 2 plants in soil that will only yield flowers meant for friends and family, flushing probably isn't worth the...

Haha. No, I have the world's most embarrassing ghetto greenhouse protecting them during the day so they get light but stay dry. At night they are in the garage under the fans. So what's your overview on not flushing? Ive heard... "Feed until the end"...vs. "no dont, flush the last 2 weeks or...

Thanks! They are getting there, I think. Last thing I grew was a sunflower in a Dixie cup in kindergarten, so I don't have any metric for success besides pictures on here. After this rain, I'm gonna start flushing. Just trying to keep them in the light and outta the rain until then!

Sweet baby Jesus it's wet out. Rain, mist, fog, wind. My meter in the garage says 96% RH. Luckily my ghetto greenhouse held up and kept the rain off. I brought them in early to get them under the fan. 3 days straight of rain on the forecast. 1 down, 2 to go...

Had to mess around with the ghetto greenhouse to get the plastic a few inches higher off the tops of the colas so they don't get sweaty. Other then that I think my horribly embarrassing greenhouse is ready for the next 3 days. Hopefully!

I believe you. I'll let them keep on going. Went to Lowe's and got stakes, and netting. I'll lock everything down. Also I set up some wind breaks around the perimeter of the deer fence containing them. Hopefully this will do the trick.

Shiiiiiiiit. Looking at 25mph wind on Tuesday and up to 45mph on Wednesday. What kind of wind can these things withstand? Is it worth harvesting early (for the ones in the ground)?

Nice. You must be pumped! What kind of plants? Hopefully I can make it through the next 5 days without incident. I have been moving mine inside at night under an oscillating fan to avoid morning dew. It's a slight PITA, but worth it. When it rains, I put them under my ghetto greenhouse...

Really? Huh...Maybe I will end up holding out longer. I guess I'll keep feeding it until I see more amber. Thanks for the info.

I have 5 cloudy days incoming, 4 of which are bringing rain. Gonna be a tough week.

A few of the reputable places where I have heard this process mentioned also said to let the buds dry for an hour after the bath. Supposedly it makes trimming much easier. Have you found that to be the case?

Haha. I am glad you posted it again anyway. It will be my first harvest, so repetition of info is important for me to minimize my chances of screwing up. Thanks!

Good info. I would not have thought of that. For all the information on checking trichomes that exists, there isn't a ton on where to actually take samples from on the plant. Thank you sir.

After watching the trichomes for the last 4 days, it appears you nailed it. About 2 weeks left sounds dead on. So if that's the case, which I believe it is, should I stop feeding and begin flushing now? Also, after 5 months of research, obsessing, and going back and forth on the subject, I...

Sounds good. Thanks very much for the help! I spent all this time babying these plants and now I am just trying not to donk it up before the finish line. It seems like a fine balence of attention and understanding/delivering their needs, while not smothering them or loving them to death...

Awesome. Thanks!
