Feed until the end or flush during the last week?
Myself, just regular waterings nutrient free but ph'd for medium used. No "flush" necessary.Feed until the end or flush during the last week?
It's been pretty much put to bed that flushing to make a "better smoke" has no merit. One of the issues with all the debates is that "flushing" has multiple definitions in the world of cannabis growers. When most people talk about "flushing at the end of harvest" they mean that they just stop feeding nutrients and just water the plants for the last couple of weeks. There's also the act of "flushing" when soil gets salt buildup from over-feeding, or to help correct pH issues that were caused by watering or feeding with solutions that were way off on pH. Those last two "flushing" methods are more widely accepted, because you can get your plants back on track by flushing to correct nutrient lockout and pH issues, and those who stop feeding 2 weeks from harvest do it more to save money on nutrients than for any other reason.There’s so much out there on the for and against of flushing eh, kinda hard for a rookie to know what to do. Leaning towards not I guess.
Some good tips on this thread! And those buds look nice and fat.
Looking at those trichs - I would go a couple more weeks. Some were still clear from my eye.
Happy harvesting!
Ya I think I’ll feed right to the end. Quantity is something I am definitely conscious of. As I said previously, the quality and price where I live is garbage so really looking for as much as I can from each girl.It's been pretty much put to bed that flushing to make a "better smoke" has no merit.

I have a few more a few weeks behind so I’m ok with harvesting this one ‘early’. I don’t see the buds getting any more dense at this point, a few of the colas need support to stay up, they are heavy.Mostly cloudy so a week or 2 away yet.
I'd leave them 2 weeks with one more feed then just water for 10 days and check again
Your choice and smashing looking plants by the way.
Some nice smoke there, enjoy.
I’m curious to c what u get dry, I’m trying to figure out what I’m looking at in my 5x5 for weight between the 9 of em.. what u think? I was aiming for 20+oz but I’d be happy with a pound even 15oz ..day 28/29 flower out of 65/70 in those picsHarvested on April 25th. 425g on stem wet. It has been drying, hanging upside down on TV cardboard boxes since. I reckon a 1/3 of it will be dry tomorrow with the rest a few days later. Will post final weight then.
1000 watt HPS with an average yielding strain will do about 1 pound when doing a good jobI’m curious to c what u get dry, I’m trying to figure out what I’m looking at in my 5x5 for weight between the 9 of em.. what u think?
