i would start the flushing now and let them go another 9 days and see if there are any changes to the pistils, i would let them recede a bit more so the calyxs swell. otherwise decent looking grow.
Thank you ...for my first grow im happy even though they are autos which are probly easier to maintain but Ok cool the buds have been getting fatter just in the last couple days they are on 24 hrs light so if I follow your suggestion itll be good to give them 48 hrs of dark on day 7?
Why are your plants lamps on 24/7 at this stage? and you can go ahead and give pH water if you plan to harvest in the next week or so but it definately not required to flush.
they are auto flowering plants theyve been on 24/0 since sprout no reason for it besides the fact that it was cold in the basement when they started so the light warmed them up
I don't grow auto"s but I run ferts right to the end. Flushing with the roots on doesn't give me the results I enjoy. Never chop a bud unless it"s all done growing.
It's your decision. If you decide to vase them in RO water in like a bucket or something you can run ferts to the end. It is very important not to let the vased plants RO water to go dry during this last 24hr cycle, especially when the hps is on.
