Yessir!!! A better way to ask you sir, what would be the minimum days I should flush let's say I started seeing some amber before flush week hypothetically speaking. Theoretically what is the minimum amount of days I should flush for best results so I can harvest as quick as possible in that situation?
Flushing is useless unless the toilet needs it. as for when you are ready for harvest refer back to my first post.
 
The pistils are not your "ripeness" meter. Your trichomes are. You want nearly 0 white "hairs", and personally, 90-95% milky trichs, 5-10% amber, 0 clear. Get a jeweler's loupe or macro lens to see your trichs clearly.
Perfectly put. Thank you as well.

Rkymtnman uses 10k light for end flowering. I know you said you like 3500 start to finish. I guess everyone has their preference .
3k to 3500k. And I was referring to the indicators of ripeness. This is just what I do on a commercial and home level. Testing has backed my decision and it’s why I do what I do.

Sounds like 3500k are your finisher bulbs and you start with 3k for veg and mid flowering until late flowering to start using 3500k. Sounds optimal. Why don't you like higher than 3500k for finisher bulbs? If you don't mind me asking. I know you said you've done several tests I'm just curious ;)

No bulbs leds. Test are done via pure labs I have two buildings 18000 sqft and 6500sqft my current build is on here.

Ok cool. I was gunna grab a LED bulb anyways but I really appreciate that input for confirmation of the right choice, thank you very much. I was gunna grab the 10k for finisher but I suppose that's too hot? Keep in mind my next grow will have CO2 so I will need that extra heat I bet to get the most out of ethylene oil ripening. Just low on funds at the moment that's why there's no CO2. So when do you actually use the 3k apart from when you use your 3500?
 
Wow really nice place! I hope one day with hard work I can achieve something like you and have more than just a personal use amount cultivating and perhaps profit too.

You need more then a simple bulb. I only use 3k the the 3500k was a suggestion. I don’t swap lights. If you’re going to use co2 you need to have everything else in the optimal range not just warmer. Ethylene is a byproduct of co2 that comes from burners and is dangerous. It means one your burners aren’t working correctly. It’s why I use co2 cylinders in every room whether 100 lbs tanks or 375 lbs depending on room size.

Yea I plan on just doing a 20 lb cylinder for this setup with a regulator and laser hole drilled tube shower with fans, followed by using the exhaust fans during lights out along with bringing temps back down and humidity as well during lights out. I agree that extra gas from burners isn't good for humans probably either.

if your growing in a tent I’d just forget co2 you need more then you think dialed in before using it.
 
Am Im no master nor claim to be. I enjoy what I do and that’s the difference.
I would say winning a cannabis cup award definitely makes someone a master. Then again we are dealing with experienced breeding and new strains while also understanding knowledge of new strains and running tests to see what nutes/environment controls benefit that particular strain the most. I understand sativa had to have been bred from afganica/indica origin of marijuana from some point back in time. It's interesting all the differences Sativa's require for optimal health compared to the indicas. I'm curious to see what the future holds for marijuana strains. Kyle Kushman happens to be one of my favorite very humble good man.. I love this stuff too glad there are others like you that have a passion for it and help the others who also do with less experience thank you not forgetting where you came from

I was planning on refilling it every week, I found a place that will do it cheap for $23 a 20 lb tank. Shhh. and I planned on having it at 1200ppm-1500ppm until ripening and bring that back down to around 600 then. And like I said cutting it off during lights out and running exhaust fans during lights out. Why don't you believe this would be beneficial if I can raise the humidity and temp for it to be beneficial?

Reeders I’m not concerned with most of them pull too early. I’ll be competing I’ve done some in Clio Mi. however winner a cup doesn’t make someone a master either. Someone that claims they are a master means they have nothing more to learn Resulting in losing the compassion for the plant.

Hey I just pulled too early! :wall:

Never again. The buds are hard, springy and dense. They taste great. Smell great. Smokes great.

Best mid I've ever smoked :dunce:
