hello, so i need some help, im growing 2 autoflower red dwarf, apparently going by the times on the packet i shouldnt start flushing for just over a week, but whenb they are done they are done, well the hairs are like 10 percent red, but under the microscope they are not milky, should i start flushing now? even though i should wait a week, just loo9king at them i cant see them having another 3 weeks life in them if their hairs are going red, any help would be appreiciated, many thanks

just say u do flush a week early....its not the end of the world....ur plants will still be fine....go by what ur plants are telling you about when to harvest, not the seed pack...thats a general timeframe...but you will know the exact time....ganja

I was told when you think its time to harvest wait another week and youll be fine so when you look at it and say its time to flush wait another week, learned this from mr stink bud

Flushing 2-3 weeks before harvest ensures all chemicals are out of the plant.

ok
basicly flushing is like starving your self when on a diet, not got for you.. the same as a flushed plant why would you want to deprive your plant from its max potintial..

i dont know thats why im asking you, iv never grown before, and all the sites iv read have always said about the process of flushing but never what the plant should look like when i have to start flushing, so why act like a twat about it with your question, i obviously dont know, if you dont wanna help dude just grow your plants and leave me the fuck alone, thanks everyone else, il try and upload some pics soon

The chemicals from your fertilizer will provide a harsh smoke. Why? Well common sense says because you are also smoking fertilizer.

What does harsh smoke mean? I don't know exactly but I would guess, there will be a burning sensation and perhaps less taste of the weed. You might even be able to taste the fertilizer.

Flushing 2 weeks before harvest ensures all chemicals are gone, flush as long as you want (in my opinion) and the plants will eat any leftover chemicals...

I am on my first grow as well and I am growing half ass due to money issues. I haven't flowered mine yet but I plan on starting tomorrow even though I haven't seen maturity yet, they are getting too big to keep upping their pot size. Hopefully these last pots will finish them off for me as I won't be able to transplant out of this.



I suppose I could if I cut the top off to make it even... The other one is in an easter basket, lol...

Quoted for truth. I would keep them on the nutes for a little while longer. Looks like they could have 2 weeks left. If you start flushing now and they have 3 weeks left, they won't have any food to get the energy to fatten up as much as they should.

I flushed one of my plants and not the other, and after a weeks cure you honestly couldn't tell so don't sweat it mate.

lol, this doesn't make any sense? There won't be any nutes left if you flush, that's the whole point of it flushing ...

makes sense if your using miracle grow release. i haven't had a nutrient deficiency yet and I have flushed my plants and soil countless times.
