i got some clones (10) that were supposedly all green crack but i knew there were a couple of iffys that might not be green crack. and sure enough they werent. so i kept feeding those two, regular nutes and the (8) green crack i started flushing cuz they are a six week strain. to my surprize i had only two green crack and the other six were somthing else and i didnt realize until around six weeks in, right around when the green crack was finishing, cuz they all looked very similar. but the 2 cracks were obviously finishing cuz they were almost all browning hairs and more pistely and crystally while the others i could see had a ways to go. anyways ive been flushing for about 2 weeks and they might need another week they look bomb but not super fat will they finish out as good, just not as fat?ive been using botanicare SWEET and ph'd ro water for the the last 2 wks. oh yeah the 2 gc have been done for a few days and might be my best ever so far

^^^^^^DOES THIS MAKE SENSE ^^^^^

There are no real consequences. Let them dry out, give them some fert, and continue with your normal routine. :)

the only thing that will happen with early flushing is lower yields and potency as they didn't have time to utilize the nutes to their full potential.
The one benefit is that the bud though not as high in yield will taste more fresh and organic with early flushing.

and i just got back from watering and they indeed look like gc but like a different strain than the ones harvested over a week ago

the consequences are your plant doesnt have the nutrient level that it needs for optimum flowering, the botanicare probally helped them out somewhat though does it also contain a lil nutes like good old blackstrap mollasses does? if not i'd suggest just using mollasses in the future, your mostly paying for water and basiucally mollasses when you get those type of mixes. their isnt anything you can do now really. to be honest i doubt its gonna effect them too much. i dont know if i'd be so trusting of the harvesting timetables your given, imo they are always on the early side, i like maximum yeild and potency.

Earley flushing can and usully does effect ur final crop wether in good way or a bad usally depends on the specific strain bud in my experiences it just gives the final product a much better taste. It can however lower ur max. yeild.

i dont ever go by timetables given it just gives me an idea of when they will be done i go by what they look like and the 2 i harvested at about the six week mark look about the best ive ever did on indoor and this like the 6TH time around
