Hey y'all -
Yesterday I bought the handheld microscope everyone says to get and checked my babies, and was SHOCKED to find out I already have an abundance of amber trichomes!
It's my 2nd grow, and the clones started flowering every time a cloud went by this year, so it's been hard to judge when to start counting weeks of flowering. I noticed they were looking a little yellow, so I fed them a diluted FF Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom on Tuesday.
NOW of course I know the yellowing is a clue the buds are nearly ready, but my question has to do with flushing out the nutes - Some are ready NOW, and I flushed them yesterday am and this morning... The soil has a lot of clay here so it's not going to drain rapidly.
Would you, *experienced growers,* flush for a few more days, knowing the soil isn't draining well and let the weed get to "couch lock" (I was hoping to avoid...) or pull one or more now, and risk having some residual nutes in the buds??
Here are some pics of the plants that are ready now - I have others up and coming!
Sorry 'bout the sideways pics... and thanks for sharing your thoughts!
