when to flush

Hi have a plant 6 week strain as im told now into week 5, looks to me like another 2 weeks left though, about 1/4 of hairs are orange nowshould i start flushing now or be nuten for another week? which brings me to my next question do i need to flush for 2 weeks or is 1 sufficient? cheers guys

What kind of nutrients are you using? I've heard some people that use organic nutrients don't flush at all, but one week is sufficient for a flush time.

As far as harvesting, make sure to check the trichromes rather than the hairs, as that is what will tell you your peak THC/CBN levels.

And here's a link from the GrowFAQ on Trichromes. Enjoy.

I second that^^^^^^

you can always use a final flush product that cuts down the flush time.. i use one called quality cure from supernatural. they say you only need 6-12 hrs of flush with no residual nute taist.. i still flush for 3 days prier to using it tho..

cheers heaps guys, will have to get a microscope n chaeck as i dun have one, any ozzies know where ta get a cheapy, was thinkn like dick smiths or sumthn? My understanding(which isnt a very good one lol) is that 75% of the hairs should be red/orange to harvest, is that statement genrally true? Also i am using canna coco nutes which im guessing arnt orgainc, so was thinkn of flushing for a week. Aussie 07 you said to check the trich, but how do i know if to start the week flush off? Should they be like all milky for me to actually start the flush?

I use organics on the indoors and chemical ferts on the ones out side and for both of them I only flush in the final last week and they turn out great every time and I never notice any harsh chemical taste in the final product. Your pics look like your plants probably need 1-2 weeks of growing but your pretty close to the final flush stage.

i would say 60% milky if your gonna flush for a week
