More or less by eyeing it could you tell me how much longer I've got till harvest? I can't afford a 10$ microscope.

Lol ..so flushing doesn't work? Stop feeding at a point or do as mo841 said feed till I chop?

Depending on personal preference/growing medium etc some people taper down feed for the last week or 2, others feed till the end and others just give last watering as plain water etc etc

Looking good but without knowing a whole lot about the genetics of the plant it's hard to eyeball a harvest time. Your best bet is to get a loupe and wait for the trichomes to be nearly all milky white with a few amber and you'll be golden.

Trichromes are just one way of telling a plants maturing, are the calyxes swollen? Hairs starting to redding? Is there a natural fade happening to the plant?

One or all can help to point to a plants maturity. IMO 2 weeks at least. Could easily push that to 3.

Are you saying to just feed with potassium sulphate for the 1 to 3 weeks?

depends how the fan leaves look

if they are very green then I go to potassium sulphate only of with sugar for 3 to 4 weeks before finishing, if they are getting yellow then I just add some bloom or veg food with my PS and cut to PS and sugar 1 or 2 weeks before cut, as I normally add aspirin too, the last 1 to 3 weeks I like the plant to eat up the bigger leaves as I don`t have any need for them really

I mean some people use them as rizla and such but to me fan leaves are kinda useless so I don`t mind watching them turn yellow and fall off, if anything I think doing that makes the buds taste better

but some people feed high nitrogen till harvest, personally I like to cut out cal/mag 2 to 4 weeks before harvest and a bunch of other trace elements but that`s just because I don`t always have 2 to 4 months to cure my herb, sometimes I have a few months sometimes its a few days, lol
