HARVEST?

Don't assume that one is judging a time for harvesting based on a fade of leaves. It is possible to stop feeding or flush at the end and harvest at a nice window of cloudy trichs. Why assume that a flush would require that one harvests when leaves are yellow and brown? Why cannot some chlorophyll be depleted as a result of "flush" while in the same stroke watching trichs for that window, win win.

Simple answer: plants are not that simple. There's plenty of science behind it.

Just cause you run x3 the amount of water through your pot does not "rid of nutrients" just like that.

we need to be careful with assumptions, a flush is not necessarily "run x3 the amount of water".

In the context of "end of grow" i take it as "stop feeding" simple as that... in the middle of a grow during an "oops" moment, it might mean flushing in excess amounts of water but not typically at the end though to some perhaps but I've not taken it as this. Simply cut the food, watch the fall colors fade in.

If what u r using is organic then I think the general consensus is there is no need to flush. I personally don't think flushing is needed. I've done it both ways, organic bottle nutes and salt based. I have never experienced any ill effects compared to giving my plants plain water the last few watering. Which is my version of a flush at the end of a plants life. If you don't know your plants full potential then some people may flush when another feeding or two would pack on weight.

Top looks pretty close, the bottom looks a little behind. Thats how it usually goes though. You can chop the top off, leave the bottom growing, move it closer to the light, and get some more density on the bottom too. Looks nice, good job!

Looks to be some dank!
Always heard autos were on the weak side compared to photoperiods, but looking at your triched up girl and a others I've seen here over the last year seems they are closing the gap. I just don't wanna have to pay my light bill running a plant's light cycle 18hrs or more. What light cycle you use for her?

i used 24hr cycle for the first 19days. then switched to 20hrs on 4hrs off the rest of the way. 5 plants under a single 600 watt hps. only noticed about $15-$20 extra a month on the bill

From the five girls i chopped Total dry weight is 57.8 grams of stinky sweet tasting frosty buds. Not bad since my tallest plant was only 11 inches and the shortest was 8 inches. I used very small pots and regret that because the bigger the pot used for autos the bigger the plant grows. The smoke is great and the high is a very even mixed body and head high.Hits very smooth and has a sweet bubblegum taste with a nice skunk smell.
