ya so does mine i just cut a cola off my indica and she is in her 8th week right now.:blsmoke:
question, are you saying you cut cola off plant and let the rest of it stay under lights? is this so the secondary and lower buds can get some lighting to dense the buds?
sorry this is my first grow and im about to harvest my first rotation so not buying weed again is exciting to me so i want to learn as much as i can,

im going to be taking them down in a couple of days. i just got a bit of web on that but so instead of spraying i cut it off . so close to cuting them down i realy don't want to spray. i did that to the last plant and they sure got harder in two weeks.

you can not do an emergency flush when flushing to harvest. just water for a week or so like you normaly would.
Ofcoarse you can coz it is ment for flushing before harvest, after all you have to either uproot your plant, chop it at the base or chop individual branches to do the emergency flush method. I dont think you understand what this method is exactly.

Just use the Emergency flush method and be done with it coz any other flushing method is just a waste in my opinion. Maximum 3 days and its done!
i started the flush with 8-10 days left in flowering, if i have the time and patience to flush properly i want to do it the best way, like i said its my first grow, good strain so i want to get the best possible bud,
until my new seeds get here and i get more than one strain going i want to make sure that im smking good chit!!

ive read alot of "mygirls" posts, i dont think theres much about growing he doesnt understand....... no offense but it seems a slow flush would make more sensi (lol) than an emergency flush, a little more molasses and a couple weeks of drying/curing and im gonna be smoking my own YEEE HAAAWWWWWWWWWW

you want ph balanced water with molasses, cuts flushing time in 1/3, tightens buds, burns all of the nutes not most like water. Molasses is an asset to use throughout the entire cycle, but none as important as flushing.

Your grow should be controlled, there should never be a need to "emergency flush", at the same time, nothing you do to the plant will take affect by harvest. The best way to flush is 3x the pot size of water, but the most thorough way is using molasses for a week.

Ok, im using a hydro grow, i have them in a fresh water tray right now water is 6.3 ph this morning, i have been misting/foliating with 1tbsp molasses per gallon of water.
plan is this, let flush the final 7 days, hang to dry til stem is breakable (?) then store in mason jars and i am told i need to "burp" the jars a few times a day and after about a week of drying and a week curing i will have tasty, stoney weed? any flaws in this plan? as i said this is first harvest but two weeks goes by fast and i want to get the process down right!!!

Yes he does know his shit and I dont doubt it at all but if he doesnt understand the process and hasnt tried it then he can not give an accurate opinion about it.. Everyone has their own opinion and I am just offering mine.
The last 2 weeks is when your plants really need their nutes and you will notice the difference in the final yield! The emergency flush will do the exact same job (if not better) in only 3 days than any other flush.

Thats just my opinion from my trials over the years.

Heres a couple links that will explain and show the Emergency flush method so you know exactly what I am talking about although I do have my own way of doing it which is slightly different:

Emergency flush does make this method sound not as good so I think it needs a new name lol. Check the links in my previous post to see exactly what its all about and you will see the benefits it has. Check out the links in my sig and you will see that im not here to talk shit but I am here to help others while gaining more knowledge myself coz ya never stop learning no matter how experienced you are!

3 x the pot size only when you have a plant problem, not when flushing to harvest. just water like younormalydo when feeding for a week or so.
when you add molasses you do !! thx
true. anytime you add anything to our water ph.

hey wontime did you say that you were misting your plants? I would not spray anything on on them if I were you, might develop bud rot durring curring. also don't use mollases (you know what I mean) in a hydro setup! I know from experiance, it just gunks the fuck out out of everything. your pump and lines WILL be a wreak.

Anyway sounds like you're doing a great job, post pix after harvest.

thanks for that last tip, ya i like to mist the plants sometimes, i work from home as well so i like ti be hands on and with my setup they pretty much take care of themselves between rez changes so once or tice a week during the dark cycle i go up and hit em with a little neem oil or superthrive mist, and on the budding plants just plain water or a lil molasses.... i dont add molasses to the res, i was misting, will cut that out now so they can dry out the last days they are flushin!!!
fyi i have found neem oil to work good to repel flying insects!!! havent tasted any smoke yet but i dont use the neem oil on the final flowering plants!!

thats good to know, i have an abundance of circulation for the area i am using, fresh air intake and exhaust that runs the entire time the lights do, all three areas also have oscilatting fans, i think i am gonna be pleasantly surprised with results, i know its not gonna cost 100 bucks a quarter, thats pleasant enough LOL
