i know i should just let them be free and do what they want but the reason for my wondering on how long they will take is because im starting week 6 now and if they are 8 weeks i need to begin flushing them after this week. but if they are 10 weeks i have another 2 weeks till then. right now i have tons of white hairs and starting to form bud but it doesnt look anywhere near ready id say its doing really well for 6 weeks flowering. would it hurt to just wait and do the 10 weeks? i have some red pistals forming if thats how its spelt id say 30-40% red. expect week 6 and 7 for the bud to actually start showing. iguess my question is should i do 8 weeks and flush weeks 7&8 or do 10 weeks and flush 9&10 or do 10 weeks and flush weeks 7,8,9,&10.. thanks.

p.s. i will try and add pics soon! got a 420 scope too so yay lol

you don't have to flush at all according to some.

and in your case, you can just run a shitload of water through it a few days before it is ready and you'll be fine.

once you know how long it takes to mature, you can implement whatever flushing regimen you want in the future.

well, you might have to flush later this time, but the flush will still work as long as you give it a few days after.

some dro, eh? sounds nice.

you'll have a better chance of them going bad by depleting them of the nutrients they need too early.

usually when i flush i run twice the size container of water thru the plant with a flushing agent made by gh for one day then for a week i water with straight water.

what hes referring to is the last few days just running a lot of water thru them. kinda same but different in its own way.

I would just look at the pistils if u dont have a microscope and determine if there turning colors receeding in or foxtailing.. but even then thats a seasoned eye thats needed.
