Is it ready?

And how do I know when to flush ?

what strain do you have?

i flush three times throughout my crop, for an 8 week strain i would flush for five days with a diluted solution at the start of week two, the start of week 5, and the start of week 8 till harvest.

you would adjust this for a 10 week sativa slightly.

others flush the last week or two before they harvest.

this is why it is good to know the strain you are growing so you know when to flush.

You want to flush during the last 1-2 weeks before you plan on harvesting. As far as knowing when the plants are done you will need to get a microscope(60x+) and check the trichomes. You want around 85% cloudy, 10% amber, and 5% clear(or so I read). A guesswork method would be when most of the hairs recede into the bud and the remaining hairs turn brown/red, but that could happen at any point during flowering. If you don't check the trichs you could easily harvest too soon or too late.

that ain't done from what i can see.,.. how many days flowering? get a scope.. thts really the only way to tell

2nd pic, says 3 weeks anyway, probably more.

Compare to this bud (I only chopped her because I'm out), it could have gone for another 5 - 7 days.

start flush now... you want to wait until those hairs on the top of colas are not white and all bedhead looking.. you still have new pistils all over buds.. not done. looks likes 2 weeks at least. begin flush now

you flush when you have a problem that requires it

Thx you all , but I chopped the highest collar already, because most of the leaves turned brown ( like burn dry ).
Not sure Is it dying or lack of nutrients.

The strain is Big Buddha Super Automatic Sativa, I think I might chopped too early

I did some damage to a couple of my girls, the leaves look far worse than that, but the buds are still growing nicely....and yes, you cut way too early.

You sadly did chop way way to early!!!!! All your pistils are still completely white and your buds havent even began to fill out yet....

UR leaves look super dried out, some sort of light/heat or nute damage.... but the buds look ok.... maybe 3-4 weeks old tops though :-/

^ what everyone said about getting a scope. thats the only way to know. trichromes change from clear to milky to amber. amber is the breaking down of it. its at its highest thc at all milky but the more amber the more couch lock. clear means not ready. yield and potency will drop if harvested when clear and you have def done that. o well man practice makes perfect and ive found that when you make mistakes your better off than not making any, you learn more. just try to correct one problem at a time and go from there. as long as you are getting better every time and making progress dont beat yourself up. ive seen way worse than that man so keep your chin up.

have fun
deuces

Damn ! What do you guys think happen to my leaves? Why they turn brown and dying? Is it too much heat? I'm very curious because there are two plants flowering right now, and their leaves might starting to loook like the one that I chopped. Or should I leave it to flower even the leaves dry out.

Don't chop it down like you did this one. If they look anything like the one you posted a pic of then they are far from being ready. What are the temps like? How you increased the amount of fertilizer you use per watering? Pics of the other girls would help, but the one you chopped looked like severe heat stress. The leaves taco'd then dried up. I'd leave it regardless and try to correct the problem instead of getting rid of the plant.

Now that I reread what you said, are the other plants' leaves starting to die or are you just assuming they will?

if your temps are 85 or higher, you murdered it with heat
if you forgot to water then forgot to water thenforgot to water, you murdered it with heat stress
if not, you murdered it wiht nutes
either way, that plant was dead when you cut it

What's this doing in Advanced?

Maybe "advanced" nowadays is "hey, I've almost made it to harvest!"
