Dutch Passion Day 60 Think Different Scrog. Flush Now? Or Wait?

[Getgrowingson]

"pher Wiggle"Everything is looking pretty good right now.. Im just having problems with deciding when to start flushing my babies. I have 7 TD's with 4 under a 4x4 scrog with 2 600 HPS in a 4x8 tent. The scrog is beautiful but the other 3 didnt turn out how i would have liked under the leds. i think i had them to close at the start and turned my plants into little dwarves lol the node distance was like 1/4 inch for the fist 3 weeks..They keep throwing pistols constantly and maybe 1/4 of them are turning redish... The fan leaves on the buds have now also started to yellow and die off.i have a microscope but i have a hard time distinguishing clear vs cloudy. anyway. Here are some pics i took last night. I want to know

1) Should i start flushing now? Do they look ready for 2 week flush?

2) Or should i feed until day 70 and then start a 2 week flush?

I really appreciate the help guys. My first autoflower grow and i could never have imagined them turning out the way they have. I have spend 1000 hours on here the last 2 months and have learned so much from all of you. Honestly thank you so much!:grat:

Heyy dude!

Nice grow!
My experience is TD's finish 70-80 day usually. The best way, what you say, check the tics under a microscope.
The hairs sometimes lie , but if they turn orange 70-80% the plant is ready I think.
I grow TD to, they are on day 72 and I strat flushing yesterday!

It shouldn't be hard to tell clear from cloudy.Looks like you have another week or two before harvest.

So if i have a week or two should i begin flushing now?? I was planing on taking them until day 70 with reducing amounts of nutes until about 65 then one more low ec feed then flush for 10 days and take them at around 80.

what day are you on now, dont think i seen that in your post?:Sharing One: But if your around day 70 id say wait, but its up to you. or wat you can do is start flushing some now and the rest wait until day 70 or a week after you start the first set and see which smoke you enjoy better. its all about the grower and what he or she enjoys when it comes to harvest time! its good to experiement so you know what you like!

think one of my tds in the scrog is behind on the budding compared to the other 3....might wait it out 2 weeks longer then 70 days...aiming for 84 days!

Heres some pics guys with lights off so you can see them a little better. still lots of white hairs and seems like they swell more and more by the day.

Heres an update. due to unforseen circumstances i will be harvesting on the 13. I wish i could wait longer but i need to reduce the amount of plants i have for a visit. anyway the plants will be 76 days old at that point and most of them i think will be ready, there is one that seems to be lagging the others but i might hang on to that one and see if she fills out a bunch more..... here are some pics i took after i swapped the hps over to my dwc tent and my Blue MH Hortiluxe over to the scrog.... Makes pictures WAAAY easier.
