Thanks for the help. That's the conclusion I came to also. Turns out it's a good thing about the yellowing fan leaves. If you harvest with dark green fan leaves your bud will smoke a bit harsh, from what I've read online. I think they turned purple because the CO2 would come out cold after I cracked the cartridge, cause only the top half of the plat is purple. (CO2 is heavier than air so you want to release it above the plant...I sure a lot of you knew that but I didn't until 2 weeks ago.)

I started flowering on Nov. 19th so that's........tomorrow makes 8 weeks. This is a 9-10 week strain from what I have found online. I looked under the scope yesterday, all the trich are still clear. Harvest is just around the corner. Anyone know a good link for a video tutorial on how to trim?

Also, anyone have any suggestions on their method for a final flush that they can share please. Anyone use Clearex? Last question, has anyone tried the 2 days of darkness before harvest I keep reading about? Did it help?

Thanks again Kitty for your input. Really appreciated.

Trimming isn't hard at all. Cut all big and small leaves off of the buds, careful not to snip the actual buds. I highly suggest you wear
some latex gloves, as the resin gets VERY sticky and hard to get off of

your hands. Trim all tiny bud leaves if you want, also, it makes for better
bag appeal when you have pure buds, and not buds with tiny leaves
on them.

It will take you longer than you expect to trim....at least it
was the case with me.

I have never had any experience with the last two days of darkness, but
it won't hurt to experiment.

For flushing, many recommend using clearex, although I never
experimented with it.

The only flush I have experience with is just plain ole ph'd water which
is just flushing the plants with 2X their container size in water.
(So 5 gallon pots would be flushed with 10 gallons of water)

Good luck on however you decide to flush and don't forget to come
back with wet weight, dry weight, and the big thing everyone waits for,

BUD porn and smoke reports!!!

Your nutrients are at full strength?
At the time, Yes.

Your pH is ~6.0?
Sorry, don't have a pH meter.

Temps in the 80-90 deg F range (for the CO2 supplement)?
74-78 degrees

Humidity in the 60-70% range (relative humidity)?
50-60%

2-3 weeks from harvest?

I was at the time.

Thanks for the effort, but I got lazy and just sat back and watched what happened.

These were taken in week 8. I had to split up the screens so that I could flush them. Enjoy.
