    When trichomes look ready to harvest the plant you flush then wait at least 2 weeks to harvest? Will the trichomes (and THC levels) change within that 2-3 week period?

    You want to be flushing your plant for the last two weeks (at least) of the budding cycle. It's good to know the strain your working with so you know how many weeks it will take to flower.


    If your running an 8 weeks strain week 6 would be the last feeding, or if you were running a 12 week strain week 10 should be the last feeding.

    Agreed. Yes they will change after the flush. They continue to mature right up until chop time.

    they also continue to mature a little even after while in cure.


    ~80% cloudy is the accepted chop for max THC. Any more you run risk of degredation and a more stone than high. You want to flush around the 50-60% cloudy point or so depending on your strain, roughly 2 weeks before the 80% cloudy point as mentioned.

    mr.anonymous What to grow next is hard

    flush with 3 times the size of your container(ie..3gal container 9 gal of water) your leaves will also go yellow during the flush to.You can get away with flushing only 7-10 days before harvest.If you want a good flush use some Cleanex from Bonicare works sooo sweat

    I think its a waste to buy those flushing solutions for end of flower flushing, all the nutes are all water soluble chemicals. I'd only flush out the pots if by 2 weeks till done you don't have yellowing, then your pot still has nute in it, you need to clean them out so 3x volume flush.


    If your girl is already yellowing when u get to the flush point, no need to saturate the pots anymore, nutes are already gone, just normal water feedings.
