I would reconsider the whole flush thing - the so-called science behind it is VERY sketchy. All you are doing is trading the final week of growth for some premature chlorosis in the leaves - which go in the trash anyway.
How much longer until harvest?

Is it necessarily a bad thing? I've just noticed that each time I flush it's like they get more dense? Almost like they like the extra water every now and again

Hell yeah thanks man! My camera is kinda crappy and doesnt really pick up the orange hairs to well but a few of the colas have started getting a lot more orange hairs and they're starting to smell a lot more than they did! Also what weight should I be looking forward too? I know the buds shrink a lot but I feel like I should at least get an oz dried? I have like 8 colas total each weighs anywhere from 10-20 grams wet *I think*Yeah bro. They look great. Really you go by trichs but since your not doing that yet, I don't see much aging in the hairs (foxtailing) I'd say a week more will do you fine. Looking DANK.

They dense up in the final weeks normally. If you were giving nutes with the flush water, they could bulk up more.

I usually take wet weight, cut it in half and I usually expect that +/-

Sorry to keep bugging you man but I just got my microscope thing and almost every trich is cloudy white! there's quiet a few Amber ones as well and barely any clear any that are clear are turning cloudy. And the amber ones are like a very dark Amber color. Think I'm ready?

Fuck yeah I'm gunna let her sit for like a day or 2 in the dark I heard it can boost a little bit of the resin production? Or should I just chop?

I'd give them another 5/10 days or so.! But seems like your chopping now.?! I believe they'll fatten up if given sum more time ! Your call @c-kid. Good luck and happy growing

If your dry weight Is half your wet weight you arent drying nearly enough. Properly dried material weighs 20-25% of wet weight.

I agree with above .. if you weigh it wet you'll be expecting around 25% of that when dry 
Seems like a lot but some 1 suggested it to me and it worked out about right

Okay sounds good I guess I'll wait like 5 more days and post some more pics, thanks for all the info!

i meant after i start jaring. Your right, weight does decrease slightly more after more 30 minute sessions in uncapped mason jars. I hardly evr notice the extra 20-25% loss but i guess i should have been more specific... cannabiskid i agree with everyone else saying wait a bit more too since you want the couchlock/amber stone theylle continue to turn from cloudy to amber. personally i like chopping with majority cloudy, but you can see more swelling if you wait.
good vibes to all

How far are you and how long do they call for cause i. Am harvesting at day 58 probably and they call for 50 to 65

You don't really go off of how many days all though they do get pretty close around that many days depending on the strain some are done by then and some go longer, I'm not sure what strain I have but I'm on day 56. You go off of when the plant tells you it's ready, do you have pics?
