Harvesting & Drying Questions

The 3rd,4th & 5th pictures are from a little over a week ago, and the first 2 are from yesterday.

I know many of these questions have been repeated over and over. I have read through many threads, but I think that it would be more helpful for me if I just ask.

How much longer do you think I should go before I harvest these plants? I will be getting a microscope tomorrow to look at the trichomes too.


Also, I read a lot about flushing, but only saw it for soil plants. Should I flush in my hydro setup? And if so, do I just empty the resivour and put fresh PHed water? And if so, should i start flushing now, since i have about 2 weeks left?

Also, I'm preparing for the drying period, what method should I use and what materials would be best? I'd rather not dry in my flower room, because i have vegged plants that are waiting to be flowered. I dont have any other closet that I can dry in. What would you recommend? I have a decent amount of floor space available for lets say.. a large rubbermaid container or something?


Thanks in advance.

I'd say another week or so...

To dry cut off all the big leaves and hang them for a week then cure them in jars opening a couple times every day for 20 mins for about 2-3 weeks then just store them in the jar

Think thats about it in a nutshell - FLUSH NOW I think, one single large flush then the plants can use up whats left in the next week or 2

definatly flush for sure, any where from 7-21 days is pretty normal. good luck

Looks like you are still growing those buds quite a bit, i would say go at least 2 more weeks and post back with pics then, you might even go another 4 weeks. those top colas should fill out alot more than that. Only way to know for surte is the scope, if you got milky and amber trichs, then flush with straight PH 5.8 water lowest PPM you can get. flush for at least 1 week, 2 or more is advisable for smooth taste and burn.
