Hello well i have an autoberry 62 days old running in my garden next to my other vegetative stage plants, so its under 24/0 hour cycle, so ive heard of dark periods just woundering if anybody test it on this strain or well with other similiar auto plants very short lyk 25 inches, ive flushed the plant today.

She looks like she still has a couple weeks to go. I wouldn't flush yet! She probably still has some swelling to do.

that flush doesnt have anything to do with a harvesting ... or dark period NOW... im just wondering so when the time comes i get the dark period.. ima flush again.. 1 week or 1 week/half before i harvest... i too thinkg shes a couple of weeks or MORE to harvest, hairs still looking white

flushing for two weeks is not really a good idea. you will be depriving your girls of important nutrients in those last couple weeks that they will require to really swell up for you. in my opinion you should flush maybe a few times the last 5 days.

mmm, usually the last week u dont have to nute right? or is more time? another question do i have to stop feeding her?? at some time or i can just cut it everyday even if i waterd it 1 day ago or 2 days ago? or sameday...

there is a bunch of controversy about this topic! personally I have flushed a week before harvest and harvested the day after feeding with nutes and I cant tell any difference in taste. If you have a bomb ass tasting bud like OG Kush and cure it correctly it tastes awesome either way you do it. I dont see a problem with flushing a week before harvest but absolutely no more than that. you will be depriving your plants of essential nutrients especially if u are doing hydro inside, that would be a big no no! Soil not so much. Hope this helps ya out brother!

20/4 is what most breeders recommend and yes you can change it now just keep the time the lights come on the same.
