Think they're ready super skunk week 9

Ready for harvest. Did pure ro water flush last night and today. Thinking I might skip flawless finish considering I used on 25% of recommended fertilizer and my ppm cam back zero after flushing

May I ask why do you think they're ready and why are you flushing?

Well the trichomes are turning amber and its week 9. I change reservoir every two weeks. I always start flushing near the end.

Ok. Are you checking the trichomes on the leaves or on the calyxes? That plant has 3-4 weeks to go probably.

Also, flushing does not help improve taste, smoothness or potency in any way. There have been recent studies proving that and I also did a side by side comparison of two same-strain plants. All the leaves died on flushed plant, less yield but same flavour and aromas because I dried and cured them properly (It would have been more accurate comparison if they were clones of course).

It all comes down drying and curing. If you're flushing, you're depriving your plant of nutrients DURING THE MOST CRITICAL part of it's life. You cannot just "flush nutrients" out of the bud.

I use flawless finish usually at the end. You dont think flushing help removes salts and forces plants to use those left-overs? Wow 3 to 4 more weeks. The amber trichomes are on the like partial leaves coming out the bud.

Trichomes mature way faster on the leaves than the bud itself. I tell you, if you have patience you will be rewarded. That plant has a lot of swelling up to go through. She will pack the most size during the last weeks. It would be almost a crime to chop this early.

What ya think now

Looks a lot more like some weed!!!

still more time unfortunately. Plan on 70 days for flower.

I’m pretty close to where you are right now and I’m waiting a week. I want that last cluster of white hairs to turn brown.

I think instead of waiting 3-4 weeks you waited ten days
So I think you already know the answer

Excellent post, sure wish everyone would look to this, first..

Getting anxious. Just another check. The odor is more cheesy onion instead of floral.
I see them everyday so I'm not seeing much change.

What day are you on now.... are you past 70 days?

88 days. I had the led at 18" Im going put at 6" see what happens. Really no heat issue some Im not worried.

Why change something and potentially ruin the crop when your so close to the finish. Buds are looking great. Don't burn em up now.
