Ready for flush? Green Crack @9weeks RDWC

These green crack are at the end of week 9. From what I hear this is a 45-55 day strain. I had some heat issues early on, and they got super stressed and stretched like I have never seen. The buds themselves are so stretched you can see through them.
Luckily they are so darn sticky from top to bottom, I think the final product will still be good. It is one of the most resinous, sticky,STINKY plants I have grown. Anyhow, can I start flushing now??? There are about 40% orange hairs, and about 60% white
Trichs are mostly cloudy some clear, very few amber.
Any thoughts? They seem like they are still growing. They are at about 450PPM right now CES nutes
The close ups (with the papaer towel in the background) is a lower branch that broke off.

I know its not what you wanna hear but i would say give it a bit more time. perhaps the heat stress has retarded growth. I would say in5 to 7 days flush and crop in 10-14. That is just me though i am no expert.

Love that green crack. One of my favorite smokes. If only there was seeds out there of that strain

That actually sounds like good news to me, two more weeks to pack on weight and fill to some degree. I posted in fdd's "is it done" and he says the same. well he said 2 or 3 weeks most likely the former.

Was thinking about making this my nxt strain, now im convinced! good Job +REP

with just looking at the thumbnails you can see the hairs aren't nearly majority red/orange.

no worries, it'll only get BIGGER!

my buddy just cuts his gc at 42 days because of house problems, and ended up pullin 7.35 off 4 lights

I am pretty optimistic about this strain. I think its gonna take some serious dialing in, but think that once dialed in this could be the one.
Keep temps, and PPMS very low at first. She is touchy.

Holy smokes! Nice! Any info on environment or nutes? I need all the tips I can get here, next run starts as soon as this room gets flipped in two weeks.

Went into my room today to find one of my plants completely collapsed, and split down one of the main stems.
Last night I changed my res (was going to start flush but decided not to on fdd as well as others advice) Uped the nute strength to 700 ppm, today checked PPM before adding water and it had dropped to 580. Looks like they are sucking down the nutes. I think that one was fattening up so much it couldn't support the weight! FYI, this is not g.c. this is another one in my room, unfortunately this one is way shorter then the GC so could not share a trellace. Should have secured it better. Its all tied back up now, and taped up the stem. I think it will be ok, this was the healthiest one out of all the plants.

How long do you flush them and do you just use water????

I plan on flushing with just RO water, at the correct ph. And I plan on flushing them from 5-7 days. In hydro I hear they dont need as long of a flush. If this were soil, most people flush 1-2weeks.

Well I think I will start the flush tonight (2 days early) Chiller got unplugged for a day and water temps went up.... Root rot sucks! Made it through almost the whole grow without it, and 1 single day with warm water did it. Oh well. This harvest should be a whole lot of crappy bud

Things are looking even worse today. Root rot is way worse then I thought. Pretty much every leave has died in the past two days. Im pretty sure the buds are dying as well. Some of them feel crispy and dry to the touch. Do I even bother flushing? I dont know what to do here. They look terrible.

Yikes! Axe dem bitches now! It's too bad you couldn't know for sure until it got to such a miserable state; it just looked like advanced maturity initially. The real sad part is they looked like you would've been just in time had you done anything about it then. Just suck it up and count yer losses; it's too late now. I'd highly recommend putting them in a fifty-five or more percent relative humidity environment to finish curing, since they've dried out so quickly; could be the only way to save anything at this point. If you just make sure that you don't go over sixty you shouldn't have to worry about mold. You gotta rehumidify 'em quick. Just act fast!

Thanks for the tips. I started the chop today. Me and two other people got 2 plants trimmed in about 3 hours. Going to finish the rest tomorrow.
I think you are right about raising humidity around 50% for dry. Its usualy around 30-40 in my house so they will dry super fast if I dont add some humidity.
Another thing I tried for the first time ever is rolling the buds in my hands after trimming them. They are so sticky when I did this they formed into tight (nice looking) buds. A few hours later they still seam to be holding their shape. Most of these were so fluffy before, that they were see through (seriously). They actually look good now. Can you think of any downside here? Increased chance of mold mabye?
And the smell is out of control. I have my 10"can fan/filter scrubbing air in my living room while we were trimming and you could still smell the piney/skunky smell outside my house.
Pics of the 2 gc that we got finished today.

Well, finished up all trimming. Taking a break at the moment. But we are now breaking down the room, got some work to prep for the next round (hopefully by sun)
Here is a side by side: before rolling bud and after. They don't look GREAT but they look a hell of a lot better the before. What do you think?

I'd smoke em. Looks nice.

moar pics? Harvest time... so tired.. here is the take.
skinny nugs are Green crack. Fat nugs with foxtailing are Blue Dream, The solid colas (without foxtailing) are a unknown strain grown from seed.
Despite the bumps in the road I think this won't be a total loss. Now I just have to make sure I dry these right. Does anyone think I could have hurt the smell of the GC by pressing them? Obviously I smashed most resin heads, and they REAK right now. Like STRONG. I just hope it doesn't go away after drying.
Anyway here are the pics as promised.

that is why i will stay a soil grower.lol. but it sux to see that happen to someones plants.airy buds are not my favorite.make sure u control your temp and dont have them girls to close to the lights which is the most common reason for airy buds.did u flush atleast monthly?over or under nute???hate to say it but your yield could of been double if they filled out.
