Essex grow

hi all , recentley decided to start my own grow and try to be self sustained. decided to do this as had to stop work for a bit with a shoulder injury and am awaiting surgery, pain killers and sleeping tablets that doc supplied make me feel like a fuckin zombie.always smoked weed daily but find it really helps with my condition. i started growing slh from 1 single seed, is now 8 weeks into flower, and lookin great (i think). also have tangerine dream,connie chung,bermese kush,easy ryder and a pineapple express on the go all a cpl of weeks within each other(not sure if im gettin above myself) two things that are really worrying me as harvest time approches is moment wether to flush her/or not? and when. and do i leave her in the dark before harvest?
ant help would be much appreciated.

Help please any 1

Looking good to me mate , the whole extended dark period at the end is usually to help finish them up add frostyness , not really needed.

If you do decide to do it make sure your ventilation is good as 3 days without lights is 3 days of higher humidity.

I would try just plain water the last week of flower.

thanks kanx for reply i think i will leave dark period and just water last week like you suggest, thanks again.

i wud flush m8

I hear different things on flushing but if you are using organic nutrients, I've heard it doesn't matter as much. I'm in my first solo grow, so my experience is referential at best. Days of dark makes sense. It triggers the plant into pushing out more resin. I read on another post here that there's a crazy technique of scratching the stem quite intensively every day for its last week and the plant will go into high resin/trichome mode to fight off the attack. Read up on that one before you try it though, mate.

I don't know if you are interested but I started a thread for European growers today and it may prove not useful at all. Don't know really. Check it out sometime. Maybe in a month or so it will turn into sth...
