These three pics are of the small girl
.... Almost there!!!!!!
@A4 @Heavily Medicated @Renaissance Redneck. A little bit of bud porn for you folks.... Starting to swell up nicely!!!!
@A4. Does it look like proper time to start flushing after one more feed? Or should I do two feeds then start? I'm feeding/watering every other day at this point. I don't mind a little lazy feeling but I'm not interested in couch lock.... Was hoping to harvest them all at the same time but that's not looking like it's going to happen unless I let this little girl hit couch lock zone lol. Was going to dry in my tent with light off.... Until the last plant comes down I might have to double brown paper bag it somewhere above the light or somewhere else.... Kinda stumped
I can tell you how I normally do it and you can decide if that is what you want to do. I generally wait until I begin seeing amber on the upper leaves. One or two specks and I start flushing. I only flush for a week, sometimes less. When I grow organics, I don't flush at all. There is always a big debate, flush, don't flush, even a year or so ago one of our founding admins here decided to call it "cleansing". I have never seen anyone flush or cleanse an outdoor grow and can tell you, if you have ever smoked outdoor flowers, the quality is much better than indoor.
That being said, new growers that may have had some salt build up from nutrients and they could probably use a good flush.

Are any of the hairs turning red yet? I think you can increase your yield dramaticly if you let her go until most of the hairs have turned red. Just my thoughts.

Awesome job, Pete!
A4 is spot on, as usual. My first organic grow will start shortly, but I usually give a week to ten days of pH'ed water before I chop right now.
When I see those first amber trichs, I stop nutes and take a sample to quick dry. Unless it's for meds, I prefer a heady, active high, and usually opt for mostly milky trichs.
I seldom even weigh anymore. When it's where me and this Missus want it, it's done, yield be damned.
If some of the lower buds are a bit slow, consider doing a partial chop, and letting them catch up. I've had good results so far doing that.
I was wondering about the partial chop if things are not done all the way around but I'm really struggling with where to dry since my tent will still b occupied.... Would a brown paper bag dry work above my light if I double bag it? I don't want to get mold or anything from the heat.... Should I brown paper bag it somewhere else till I buy another tent and use this one just for harvest and drying.... Have any of you tried the brown paper bag method and I still do jars for curing after paper bag dry right? I should read brown paper bag forum in harvest section.... I'm scared it will mess up my bud symmetry lol
