Harvest & Curing Do I need to start flushing?

[Cullanski]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently on my first auto grow and if my dates are correct then I’m currently in week 6 of flower. My question to all of you is, looking at the buds, do you guys think it’s time I started my final flush ready for the big chop or keep feeding as normal for another week or so?

Looking at the buds and white hairs I'd say keep going shes not ready yet pal and good luck

Looking good mate, I'd buy a pocket micro scope / jeweler’s loupe and google "When Are Marijuana Buds Ready to Harvest" you'll get enough pic to compare with your bud, or just make a call; 70 % has darken for head stone or 90% darken sleeping pills/couch lock or more relaxing. I'm not experience with autoflowers but I'd assume it's same. I myself believe when you pull it is the difference between a couch lock just as much as the weed you are growing.


sorry mate I miss read your question you just want to get ready for harvest

Thanks for replying so quickly! I will keep going for a little while before I flush I will keep everyone updated!

thanks for your quick reply! Her trichomes are mostly cloudy with the odd amber one on her sugar leaves so I’ll keep going for another week or so before I start my flush!

i was going to say look at the buds themselves the leaves are generally well more formed so give false results but going by your pic she doesn't look done she will start to swell soon

The trichomes on the buds themselves are mostly cloudy but I will give her another 2 weeks until finish would you say that’s a good time frame? I’d give her longer if needs be though! I hope she gives me a nice yield after all the work I’ve put into her

Looks too early for flushing given how many white pistils you have. I am from the camp of no flushing, as I did not see a difference that would compel me to do so.

Ahh interesting! The only reason I’ve considered flushing is because I’ve seen so many people suggest that it improves the overall smoothness of the smoke

just feed it water last to weeks to get chemical taste gone and call that a flush
