Photography to start the flush or not to start flush...

[eleventysix]

Hey guys this is the first time I've really gotten a good grow of autos under my belt and I was wanting to get some opinions I'm 52 days in on this girl and I wanted to know if you fellors would give her another feeding or go ahead and start the flush with PH'ed water for the next 2 or so weeks? here are some pics of the buds and plant.. I've seen on here where blue mammoths typically go from anywhere to 63 days or so to 75.. I'm just so anxious for her to be done haha

She still has lots of life in her man

I'd continue feeding for a while :thumbs:

One thing to learn is that the seeds sellers give a recommendation of length of time to flower etc...
These are only guidelines, every grow you do will be different.

This fine specimen of a lady needs more time to flower and really bulk up.
Do yourself a favor and buy a small 30X magnifier and look at the trichs, that is the only sure fire method of when they are ready to chop.
Mostly cloudy with a few amber ones and you are ready to chop.
The more amber trichs the more couch lock you are going to have!

Lots of autos don't amber up so thats not a sure way to tell.

eleventysix have a read thru the thread below and it should help you better determin when shes ready

When to harvest autos? Your leaves will tell you

i only flush for 6 days thats just me tho other people would disagrea but every 1 is different.

you plants look like they have some time left there gna get bigger and you will loose them white hairs.
dont chop it early and loose your hard work.

well looks like the consensus is in and I'll feed them for a few more weeks before I start the flush, I appreciate the advice and will be updating when the time comes! thanks guys!!

One love and peace to you

all i do is feed up into the last week, then i use a flushing agent; in my case its Clearex. If u dont have a flushing agent then i would flush with ph'ed water for about the last 2 weeks; depending if ur using chemical fert or organic fert. then i dry it and cure it properly then its nice smooth and tasty smoke that burns even, and the ashes stay white.

I agree with the "wait" advice.
If you can, let her go until at least 70 days, then flush and aim for chop around 75-85 days.
I have watched trichs and and seen some plants never amber. But if you watch your fan leaves and the pistils they should tell you everything you need to know.
The fan leaves should be pretty well consumed and you should notice that your pistils have gone red/orange with little to no new white pistils when you start the flush for maximum weight & quality.

20 days left, min...wait till she looks like a beautiful fall tree and changes colors. She'll probably double in weight between now and then
