At what point do you start to flush? And can't you continue to put molasses in even when flushing and the same with super thrive or do you wanna stop everything al together? I believe my girls are between 5-6 weeks I think!

They are starting to look nice bro! it depends how long your bud is going to take to finish. say its a 8 week you would want to start it at 6-7 weeks but yours dont look anywhere near ready to me. i would say wait a couple weeks atleast and see where your at. you want to get at least a 7day flush in. also i have heard of people using molasses for half the flush then you want to use mothing for at least a week. never heard of anyone flushing with super thrive. this is what i know although i am no expert by any means. Peace

i dont know anything about that strain but the leaves look more sativa and those take longer so im guessing its a 10 week strain so you wouldn't start flush in till week 8-9

Nice job for your first grow. Just be patient.
yea I am trying to be as patient as possible lol but my babies keep getting hit by mold and I jus hope they can make it the rest oof the way cuz I had to sacrifice 50% of one due to mold on the mail stalk. But thank you I appreciate it

I do not use molasses during flush, I use Clearex by botanicare once 10-14 days before harvest then only water. I don't use superthrive at all, unless I have a sad or sick plant. To know when your plant is near completion you should get one of these from radio shack ($10) As Trichs become amber your plant is reaching maturity. I like 50/50 milky and amber, some like more amber. Timing is on you, figure that shit out :) Scope.jpg

I already have one right now I'm guessing it 80-90% cloudy but I'm no expert. And I was jus curious cuz I have read somewhere that you can flush with molasses. Bit I was planning on using clearex already jus haven had a
a chance to get any. Jus curious when everyone starts to flush for best results. So 10 days before harvest you flush with clearex then water the rest of the time till harvest?.. So say I water every 5 days I would feed with clearex once then water once or do you use water every day till harvest? Also do you let the soil dry before harvest?

When the trichs start to amber they are loosing potency dont let them go that long!

You have to remember that resin production keeps forming so there are always gonna be clear ones in the scope lens.

Also It depends on you're preference on when to harvest some harvest a lil early some harvest mid some harvest late just depends on the plant and preference.


You can flush with molasses i dont do it tho just like Boss, I use florakleen 10 days out then just water.

Yea I was looking up the life spans of trichs and the amber ones are dead tthc witch I believe is cbds? But the cloudy one aare mature and the clear are immature. But thanks I appreciate the help. It makes more sense. It's jus personal preference but at a certain point don't they start to bulk up in the final weeks of flower? But ya I guess ill jus stick with the clearex jus heard the molasses help it pack on weight in the ffinal days till harvest this is my
first grow so I'm trying to read as much as I can and question what I wanna try before trying it. But I think ill pass on the molasses for flushing I use it every feeding so hope that's enough. Also I feed feed water would this help the final flush? Jus curious since after
2 feelings I use straight water.

If it takes your soil up to 5 days to dry. I would Clearex (or whatever) 14 days before harvest, then a big watering 9 days before harvest, then a final water 4-5 days before harvest. It is important to allow soil to dry for final days. That should work good for you man.

5 to 20 days, of flush time depending, your out side, so I don't know if theft , mold, bugs so on is a factor, but min I would suggest is 5 days, just feed them molasses , and clean ph water . and your good, in ideal conditions, you can go longer , some times, if I have any worries ill start flushing 2 weeks before harvest is doo because I know I can chop them any second I want . if I see any problems arise like herm , is always a major concern ,

Ok cool I jus never really understood the flushing process some people say pound them with water but others jus say water with water the ssame amount as a normal watering. But thanks you both have cleared up alot for me. I have heard alot of good things about clearex so I think I might go with that. And then jus water till 4 days to harvest.

ok folks, the last thing you want to doo in soil and your in late flower is to pound them with heavy water , they will be over watered and chance of mold lose your entire crop after all your money electric so on invested, when you flush , you feed them ph water and only water as the plant needs it , don't be a knuckle head , molasses feeding with water is fine,
