I have just bought a video microscope.
Im trying to determine if a good time to flush ...

Im only day 42 flower which obviously seems early but I thought they look ready to flush in the video ?

I would usually flush for a week (in coco) and harvest next week

excuse the pics its painful to focus :)

Cheers all

I can't tell by these photos. The photos need to be in focus because an out of focus photo can make the light reflection from a clear trichome bloom enough to make it look like a milky trichome.

Need some ambers.. i chop at like 10% amber which is less than most people, but i like a big head high and very little body. Also.. why would you flush? it does nothing and is bs...

I have shaky hands and I find it easier to hold things like this with both hands held as close to my chest as possible. Sometimes it's just easier to get a flexible mount to hold it still

Tob.. give these a read when you get a chance.. flushing is utter BS unless you are doing it to correct a salt buildup in the medium or something like that.. it has been proven many times.. i flushed and didn't flush the same strain myself, couldn't tell a difference at all..

Here is a thread about it with other people that have A/B'd it.. and most agree...

Flushing vs. Not Flushing

Hey RIU, I have been reading some stuff that goes both ways about flushing recently, alot of people say to flush to force the plant to use excess chemicals in the soil and leafs and alot of people say don't because you are starving your plant when it's producing the most thc, well what i want...

Here is a old hightimes article (some people don't like them, but it was just a top result on a quick google search)

New Research Shows Flushing Plants Before Harvest May Be Unnecessary

In a blind taste test, researchers have found that many prefer cannabis that has not been flushed before harvest.

Don't starve your plants so close to the finish line due to old wives tales :)

That a better view, you are still weeks away. The pistols are still stretching, no sense in even looking at tricomes before the pistols stop reaching out. This is a critical time when the buds put on their most weight and potency, be patient and you will be rewarded.
