image.jpeg image.jpeg Got these plants .... I've grown only one plant every before. I'm traveling for a couple of weeks, and this plants trichomes are almost all milky - a few clear, a few Amber - but the pistils haven't all turned.

The plants will get watered when I'm gone, but they are in a greenhouse and the temps outside dropping. I have other plants that have a lot longer to go than this one and I'm a bit concerned...

If you have not flushed it might be a good time to start... Flushing for about 2 weeks is what I hear is good and thats the advice I have been following. And right before harvest, give them 24 hours of darkness and make sure they are dry. Plus harvest early in the morning. Here is a decent article on trichomes and harvest... http://www.alchimiaweb.com/blogen/harvest-marijuana-plants-trichome-ripeness/ plus you could always stage the harvest.

They look good, I am sure you will enjoy the smoke... :weed:

In most cases flushing soil before harvest is a waste, many mythes perpetuate at this time, the show is all yours, I use to flush before harvest, but as I do the water cure now, its unnecessary, imo,
...............for a noob, do HALF the the plants, and see if you notice any difference...?

but if you have been using bottled shit, like many here... yeah.. best to flush, as the worse for me ..
was telling a noob his weed was like kitchen foil in my mouth ...lol

Its mostly organic - I used a bit of fox farm big bloom, but the soil is really rich in compost, manure, and earthworm castings, so it's been very very little.

If we have a freeze will it kill the plants? There are three of them in the set.

Like I said just do half, from what you told me I'd be very surprised if you notice any difference, as for freezing temps, they should be fine as its the soil temp thats critical

Ohhhh, I see what you are saying - got it, thanks! The temps in the greenhouse will go down, but until it's 10-15 outside it will be above freezing in there. It was 26 this morning so I'm getting a bit nervous lol.

I did chop nearly all my crops at milky white due to in patients, as for flush don't use flush nutes, just make sure you just give water and get a good 30 % run off if possible for about a week or two then chop. Leeching is the word most here are trying to say as in over water the soil to wash out excess. I don't believe in eliminating nutes with nutes never sounded right to me. Good luck and hope you enjoy your work

Absolutely no reason to flush that. I'm pretty sure Big Bloom is organic as well, it's pretty much just bat guano and worm castings

Where is the keep feeding option? Otherwise IMO Let it go. A side note - I bet if it got cold in there those beauties would have some magnificent fall colors!!

Personally, I don't have any experience with that small grows, and that puts me at a serious disadvantage to be of any help to you at all. I'd like to say - let them buggers grow - but accidentally only marked Flush in the poll. So now you know, longer veg, nodes so far apart but your know, try to get your trichems having looked at. requires a mini-microscope or some such to be good - but then again, it doesn't get bettter than that

Jesus I'm so high it's ridiculous, lol, to be cotinued.. pff..
