Friends,

Here is my question. Trichs look good to go. I'm not sure if i've flushed long enough. I know they say 2-3 weeks, but I only officially flushed a week ago

Jan 4 - I watered without nutes - I only used 2.5 Litres. There was still plenty of nutes in the soiless mix (approx 200 ppm in runoff)
Jan 8 - I flushed her with 3 times phd water - approx 30 liters
Jan 12 - I flushed her with 3 times phd water - approx 30 liters


What do you think? should I harvest tomorrow morning, or should I give it another week?

I think thats good if the plant looks done. You flushed it quite a bit the last couple times so i would assume its pretty flushed

Now the plant is starving and can't continue with cellular functions, including the breaking down of sugars and chlorophyl, when you chop it. Flushing is a fallacy. It shortens the cure time, but only because there is no fuel for cells to continue working. There is a good write up going around RIU that is against flushing and it explains in great detail, why.

Your good to go. I let my girls start turning color before I harvest. Seems it takes about a week or so after the first 3-1 flush.

I don't know long story short. last grow I had just done the final nutes. next day a bunch of hens wanted to root in one of the plants. Tore hell out of it. So I harvested. Got a lb out of the plant but when smoked it will not ash out, stays black and mostly solid. I've never had that happen before when I flushed. The rest of the grow went another 1-2 weeks and seems to burn much better. I know not a great test. Just saying.
