~~Seeking Opinions on How My VERY First Grow looks//Flushing Question(PICS!!!)~~

Hey you guys--I just wanted to post some pictures of my girls that are almost done. I have to say--this forum has been a lifesaver. I haven't really posted too many questions on these forums for my first grow, because many of the questions that I had have already been asked in these forums. So although I did not personally ask for much advice on my own grow, these forums have helped me out TREMENDOUSLY with everything I've been researching to help me out with my grow. I like to do lots of research and I have to say this forum, whether good or bad advice, is all good advice!!!!! So THANK YOU to everyone who posts on these, i'm sure they help make the standard for great weed more universal with the internet and all.

For my first grow I used soil. I used the House & Garden Line and I really love it. Soil A/B, Multi-Zen, Roots Excelurator, Bud XL, Top Booster, and Shooting Powder. I started off my nutes at 1/2 strength of the recommended dosage. Then I gradually increased as the plants could tolerate it as far as I could tell. Like I said this is my first grow so I can't really compare my grow on H&G nutes to another grow using different nutes, but I have to say I am extremely pleased. I look at these pics of my girls and can't believe they are mine. I mean they really look good to me!!! So that's why I am seeking other opinions to see if I could have done better somewhere or what. I have really put a lot of effort into taking care of these girls right though, I have never put them 2nd to anything. I also used mycorrizhae fungi and worm casting tea. I think next grow I am going to upgrade my soil to the fox farm ocean one. The soil I got I don't think is as pure as it should be. It is all organic, but I found 1 or two little sprouts of some other plants in the soil that were not little girls. So thus, I think I am going to upgrade the soil.

The two taller plants I was told were Kali Mist, and the smaller one I know for sure is Grapefruit. OMG they smell SOOOOOO good. Plus they are all crystally. I can't wait to smoke 'em. I just fed them their first part of Week 7 flowering nutes today. So I am thinking after week 8 of flowering nutes I should flush them for at least a week with double/triple the amount of water. With the run off water in the trays around my pots, should I recycle this water through the plants or just flush with clean straight water?


So really the only reason that I am posting this is a)to thank y'all again b)ask the question about flushing and c) if you would like to look at pictures of my first grow and make comments, anything is appreciated, but personally I think they look really beautiful .

Let me know what you think of my girlies!!!! Thanks!

can't believe I left out my FAV picture: here it is:

Flowering 7 weeks already? I would expect them to be closer to done, must have some sativa genetics. I would guess those have at least 3 weeks left based on the hairs, the trics might tell a different story. Most soil growers flush the final two weeks before harvest. Just use the purest water you can, but the runoff should be collected and dumped. You definitely want to wait to start flushing until you have some more orange hairs though, I'd say at least 30-50% orange, then u can flush.

I mean they are 7 weeks into flowering. They are about 85-90 days old since they were clippings. so really this is the 11th week since i've had them.

The amount of veg time is usually irrelevant. Most indicas flower 8-9 weeks and most sativas flower 12-13 weeks. Hybrids fall somewhere in between depending on parent genetics and phenotype of the seed even. I would hold off flushing until you see some orange hairs...my 2c

the kali mist is sativa so it will take a little longer. i picked some up from a local dispensary and it was GREAT!!!! nice piney smell, and saturated with trichs
