Is it time to Flush?

Hello Everyone!

This is my first grow, and I am growing Purple Lemonade strain Autoflower.

I am currently in Week 7 day 2. According to seed vendor, harvest time should be around 8 weeks.

Should I start flushing the medium now? and harvest smoewhere in week 8?

See attached pics. So far, a lot of the trichomes look cloudy, and around 50% of the pistils turned brown and started curling.

Your input will be much appreciated : )

Thank you , I will start flushing then, and harvest after one week.

When I harvest, does the soil have to be dry, or doesn’t matter?

I hate to throw a wrench in here, but breeder times are almost never correct. Don’t go by time, but by how the plant looks. Yes you’re getting very close, but I’d go longer than a week, depending on the stone you want. Could we see full plant pics?

I would wait till all those hairs turn dark from white, how are you growing? amended soils with top dressings or are you giving nutrients?
if it we're me I would just drop down to a slight amount of p and k take most of the n out of the equation, maybe feed at around 400ppm until the end giving water only alternating waterings. but that's me and this will always be a debated subject

If you're gonna flush you need to use a good flushing agent like Brawndo.

Kindly find the pics of the plant and various sections attached.

As you can tell, I suffered from severe CalMag deficiency and pH problems during early flower, I was able to save the plant. What do you think? Harvest after a week?

I am growing in regular potting soil and I started giving nutes after week 3.

I have a P-K only nute bottle, I think I dose her up next watering then do two flushes before harvest. I like your method!

As do my plants :weed: and I'm sure yours will as well
I mistyped the first bit, took a fatty dab then replied. i would wait to harvest until all the hairs turn a darker red, or at least 90%, some sativas never stop growing new pistils, my sergeant pepper is one of those devious few, but she really starts crowing the last week or two and gives off a purple hue to the always before green buds/leaves
