As the title says.

I'm a new grower. This might be impossible i have no idea. I didnt keep a proper schedule and I'm trying to get a flush timed right.

Any ideas of how long left or roughly the week of flower I am in would be legendary.

I'm aware I made a thread last week asking about trichomes but. They were older pictures and also taken without natural light

Love you all

Don't worry about flushing. Studies show that it has no effect on mineral, chlorophyll or anything in the plant material for that matter. And studies also show people preferred the smoothness of unflushed plants actually. Finally I personally verified this by testing my weed on my 30+ year grower and smoker friends and they can't tell the difference. The secret to good smoke is a good slow drying in a cool and total dark place. And a nice cure again in the dark. Controlling my humidity in my drying tent was the best Thing I ever did for the quality of my smoke.

Your plants Look like 3 weeks + still left to flower. All the pistils are still white basically. Once the majority of them have turned brown/red check the buds with a microscope to see if the trichromes have gone milky and begun to amber. I personally like to harvest around 15-20% amber. This is just rough not like I count the trichromes.

Awesome. Thats not the first time I've heard about not flushing. So ill just go for it.

With no flushing do I just feed the same as I am atm now until I harvest or should I lower the ppms or anything like that.

3 weeks sounds good. I was thinking it was 5 weeks away because I think I timed the flower time wrong.

But thanks for the information. I'll forget about flushing. Especially when it has been the only real thing boggling my mind through out the whole process lol.

And as for drying. What is the idea humidity for it if you don't mind.

Again thank you

You got several weeks left. Hunker down, you got a lot of work left.
Yeah. It wasn't so much knowing when to harvest cos I have the jewelers loop for that and hopefully I'll be able to clearly tell but. As I was going to flush it was the timing that was confusing me. But yeah. I'll just not flush I guess

You can still feed the same ppm. I stop giving nutes in the last week say cuz it's a waste anyway the plant should/will have enough to finish the race at that point. But you can keep feeding the same if it simplifies things for you.

For drying. This is what I do.

First week RH 50% and temperature ~20-21*C.
Second week RH 60% and temperature 17-18*C

Then into jars or bags and burp daily for a week. and then weekly after that for about a month. Then I just leave em or smoke em. Lol

Well yeah. With the amount of mis information about it kinda was. Its not that I didn't write it down im not that much of an idiot. I think I just counted it late. Some people say count it when I see pistols and some said count it when I see flower formation. So I counted from when I seen flowers forming.

I wouldnt have had a problem if it wasn't an autoflower. But as for your question. Clearly writing down a date is not hard. Don't have to be smart about it

Edit: I realise i didn't actually say it was an autoflower. Just kinda thought that would be obvious

If it’s an auto it doesn’t matter what week of “flower” it’s in. Have you read any info online before planting?

Yeah. I think people are missing my point completely.

I know when I'm supposed to harvest the plant. I just didn't know when to time the flush. Its ok if I don't flush because when trixhomes are showing I will just harvest. But my original point was because I was wanting to do a 2 week flush. Not knowing the week flower I am in wasnt helping with timing

For example my strain is supposed to be a 12 week flower. So I was going to flush at week 10. But not knowing exactly the week I was in was going to be hard with timing it right.
