Bubba Kush Harvest

Hey guys, currently on last week of flowering (flush) on my Bubba Kush.

Noticed my leaves are turning purple and buds are growing new white hair.
Wondering if this is an issue or it’s normal during flush?

Humidity is at 40-45%.
Temp (lights off at 22 Celsius)
-.-.-.-.(lights on at 26-28 Celsius)

Buds are looking fat and juicy, most of trichomes are milky.
Very little half clears and few ambers.

Planning to harvest on Tuesday. Today is Saturday.

If you harvest Tuesday you'll be harvesting early. You have another 2 weeks or more.

You can't mark the flowering schedule on a calendar and then harvest based on a specific day. You harvest based on when the plant is done. Ignore breeder times. Stop flushing and resume feeding half strength nutrients for now. The buds are still growing and will continue to swell and put on weight.

Where are you seeing the amber? If it’s on buds then you ARE close. If it’s sugar leaves, still needs time. It’s tough to get a good look at the bud trichromes, but it’s worth it when you have it dialed in. I like more Amber’s for that couch lock feeling :)

Yes, I understand that. Low phosphorous.
But my plants are going thru flush, so no nutrients.
Would this cause plants to turn purple?

Bubba kush already has a tendency to turn purple. Yes, plants turn purple, red, yellow towards the very end of the cycle, it’s natural. I’ve got plants that have been purple since veg, no deficiencies, just the strain. The flushing idea is sort of cryptic, a lot of users here don’t grasp the concept correctly, some do... basically, depending on your food cycle, you should harvest while you’re on the water cycle, perhaps extending the water cycle a few days instead of feeding at the very end, if that makes sense. Flushing in the last 7-10 days is more of an insurance policy, like if you’ve been feeding more than 1,000ppm. If you’re under 1000ppm, flushing will mostly occur in the last watering, but I recommend watering 3-4 times in the last week, and in the last two waterings, ripping up the top 3-6 inches of the soil and roots, allowing more drainage
