im coming near the end of my first grow but seeing as how its outdoor auto flower it could go for another 2-4 or 6 weeks,

people say its ripe when your tric's start to turn amber, but how do you know when to start the flush??

ive been using BioBizz nutes which they say are organic but ive also added a little PK13/14 towards the end..

also whats your take on adding sugar in the final phases? i know alot of people use molasses but im having trouble tracking down some in this shiddy little town

when one third to one half of the tric's are amber - or about two weeks before the chop, start flushing with ph'd water - flush for min 10 days ..... then have a taste

Wait till at least fifty percent are amber or greater and flush for at least one full week, ten days works fine not going to do any harm. Also before you harvest that day throw some pics up here. Sometimes we think we see something that others quickly correct us on. Three opinions is better than one, dont want to waste your hard work.

As to the sugar I have no idea never used it. Get the molasses even if you have to drive for it will be well worth the drive and safer unless someone here has sugar input. Good luck

Wait until 50% are amber and then flush? Thats just wrong, amber trichomes means the THC is degrading and is becoming less potent. Plenty of threads in Harvesting and Curing section explaining this.
