I have a question about the leaves crisping and dying before harvest. Does it do that naturally with time or does it come with flushing and depriving nutes? Also, could I get ideas on how long to flush ~ how many waterings? Thanks for this excellent thread. I read all of it except 2008 which I'll do soon.

mine usually just turn yellow, gold, red, purple, ..... fall colors. if they turn at all. i try to flush for 2 weeks. sometimes i flush until the plant starts yellowing. i often start my flushing too soon, then it's too late to feed so i end up flushing for 3 to 4 weeks. at that point i think it's more like "starving". :twisted:

Thanks and how many waterings are you doing a week? Flushing is based on # of waterings or time? I water about every 30 hours, so I'd do it shorter time? Also, I live in dry single digit humidity with about 28% in grow. Do you think there's a danger of them drying way, way fast on outside and goo in middle or do you think I should add a humidifier during dry? I know it's opposite of everyone elses problem with that. Thanks again.

i water every 3 days, or so.

i dry mine until they are dry on the outside then jar them to even out the moisture then dump it back out if needed.

Like the other guy asked, how often do you flush? I think it may be time to flush for me. I'm on day 47 of flower. I think anywhere between day 55-65 they will be ready. What do you think? Thank you and much respect fdd2blk :peace:

Hey kid..I've gone back a dozen pages and still haven't seen when to harvest as in what time in the light/dark cycle...just after lights on/off..in middle of dark/light? So confusing..I've tried various times but that was outdoors. When indoors I've done it just after lights on..Opinions please..
Good ole Jorge states in his book that you should harvest in the morning when thc content is at its peak. This is pretty broad what is considered morning? Especially when your growing indoors. And outdoors is morning as the sun is rising or around 10 in the morning lol..Who knows? Lol so much to learn

So should I smoke my weed in the dark so the thc doesn't degrade?
Everyone knows you're supposed to smoke the roots 5 days before harvest, in the dark, because that will force all of the THC into the buds. Only if you have a nail in the stem though, of course. C'mon, n00b ...read the FAQs! :roll:
:lol: ;)
