Harvest 1 or wait till all plants are done?

I have one plant out of 4 that appears to be done based on hair color. My problem is, if i harvest the 1 plant it wont be flushed... Can i cut the 1 down dry it good and cure it without a proper flush???

u should go off of tris and not hairs, do u have a microscope? if not u can get one for like $13 well worth it

if you dont flush proberly your buds wont burn quite right. It will crack pop and fizzle as it smokes and be harse on your lungs. Properly flushed buds will have almost perfect white ash. The more impurities/chemicals in the buds the greyer/blacker the ash will be. My advise, be patient, flush it and wait, or if your in a hurry pick up a leaching solution

so leach all the plants, and cut the one that appears to be done? and what give the other plants nutrients after i flushed them and cut the i that was done??

Also found this out of F.A.Q. kinda confused...

Preharvest flushing puts the plant(s) under serious stress. The plant has to deal with nutrient deficiencies in a very important part of its cycle. Strong changes in the amount of dissolved substances in the root-zone stress the roots, possibly to the point of direct physical damage to them. Many immobile elements are no more available for further metabolic processes. We are loosing the fan leaves and damage will show likely on new growth as well.

The grower should react in an educated way to the plant needs. Excessive, deficient or unbalanced levels should be avoided regardless the nutrient source. Nutrient levels should be gradually adjusted to the lesser needs in later flowering. Stress factors should be limited as far as possible. If that is accomplished throughout the entire life cycle, there shouldn’t be any excessive nutrient compounds in the plants tissue. It doesn’t sound likely to the author that you can correct growing errors (significant lower mobile nutrient compound levels) with preharvest flushing.

Drying and curing (when done right) on the other hand have proved (In many studies) to have a major impact on taste and flavour, by breaking down chlorophylls and converting starches into sugars. Most attributes blamed on unflushed buds may be the result of unbalanced nutrition and/or overfert and unproper drying/curing.

how many weeks in are you? are you willing to get a microscope? are you willing to get a salt leeching solution?

How did they do it in the "Old days"?

Heres what I would do if I were you. First I wouldnt worry about cutting them at different times unless they are different strains. If your not going to buy a microscope or the leeching solution wait untill about 60% of the hairs have changed. Flush it with 3x the volume of the soil then do it a week later then let it dry the last week and cut. If one plant ends up being more mature its no problem but you def dont want to cut any early or unflushed

Cool, yeah there are 3 diffrent strains wich i wont be doing again lol...Keep it one or two. id say they are roughly 60% for the plant im talking about. You can view them under ("Harvesting & Curing") look for todays post "@ 7 weeks")
