Flushing

Anybody tell me if i should be starting to flush this has been in flower for 9 weeks and veg for 4 and i have been using the biobizz range and a 400 hps light temps and humidity were all over the first few weeks thats why its stunted growth

Flushing is an old wives tale

Feed up till harvest

I think there is a difference between flushing and not feeding any further. I understand feeding until the end but also can see why it makes sense to stop feeding for a week or two. Flushing out everything in the medium seems a questionable practice unless someone feeds heavily until the end.

I did get told not to bother with the flush when using biobizz but others say it makes a rough smoke any idea when harvest will be i have been checking trichomes they look milky on the top of the buds but still clear at the bottom of the bud and the smaller ones are still clear at the bottom of the plant

If mixed milky and clear, you're ready now. It wont be a couch lock effect. let them brown some if you want comatose

I would taper my feed down and give it a couple of weeks.

Your plant has 3ish weeks left. I would feed it for atleast another 2. Then if you really wanna just give it water the last week or 2 it’s up to you. Just know the only thing that will happen is you will save money on nutrients.

It will not effect the flavor or smoke that comes from growing a healthy plant until it is actually ripe and then drying it slowly.

Don’t even look at the trichomes for atleast 2 more weeks and make sure you are looking at the trichomes on the buds. Make sure you look at them from the side because bulbous clear trichome heads can magnify the opaque stalk below it giving a false sense of cloudy. You want the majority of the trichomes to be fully cloudy but the only way for that to happen is if 15-20 of them get to amberish. While some strains can vary a little on it, this is fairly standard if the plants are given enough time to finish flowering.

I will keep on feeding and i was thinking 2 weeks left so thats spot on thanks for the advice appreciated as always guys

Here's one study on flushing.

Well there is the evidence if ever needed makes a good read i just skimmed it but will have a good read before bed tonight

I would flush the crap out of it.
