Hey folks,

this is my first time growing right now I am starting week 7 Of flower, the bud size to me seem small imo but at the same time they look ready ? Should I be flushing from now or should I continue with feeding them a few more times?

To me they look ready, I have found that if I leave them go to long, I lose potency or someone steals them, I see a lot of people say Oct, but I go by taste and potency, take a few small samples from the bottom and try it, bigger isn't always better.

I've never in my life had a plant matured at 7 weeks.
Anyways that aside I'd feed until I deemed it ready to cut then give 3-4 days of water.

Week 7? Yeah, keep feeding. Let them continue to ripen and bulk.

If you want to give plain water the last couple watering that would be fine, but you should wait another couple weeks before harvesting. They're not done.

Because pictures only tell part of the story. You said you're just starting week 7. Very few strains finish in under 9 weeks. VERY few.

These are Ethos early lemon berry strain on the site it said it was an 8 week finisher but that doesn’t necessarily mean they could be ready By that time you know?

Everybody wants their plants to mature early as possible, it's in the interest of seed companies to claim shorter times, I thought @curious2garden was accurate and funny with delusional about times lol.

If they claim 8 weeks, you can count on 9-10 weeks from seed. From clone - because they're now sexually mature - you *might* find a pheno that finishes in under 60 days.
