i am on day 47 of flowering my plants i think they are northern light
i wanted to know if there is any way to tell when to start flushing with plain ph'ed water for the last 2 weeks?
all the trics at the moment are clear

and i harvest when the trics are 50/50 cream/amber yes?

i think that plant looks like it could go a while longer, majority of the pistils are still white... but anywhoo yes, when the tricomes change from clear to milky and then a darker amber color you should be ready. patience is key!

If you know the flowering time from the breeder that is the first place to start. Just count back 2 weeks and flush at that point. IE they say it is done in 58 days, you should start the flush 14 days prior or on day 44. But know its only a guide some seed companies will have low flower times to sell more seeds ive had seed that should take 7-8 weeks go for 9-10. If you dont know then watch the trics close and start to flush when you start to see amber trics.
