Quick flush / harvest question

NorthernSmokeOH said:

I noticed today after checking the trichomes that I'm about 10% amber. I want to make sure I'm correct because of well, being a noob and trying to finish this crazy ass up and down adventure on the perfect note. I know I'll need to flush soon (soil, liquid nutes) but the last 3 weeks they only got about half strength nutes. I am currently using RO water and do not have a ph meter or any ph up/down (yeah I know I was unprepared). My question is if I only use RO water to flush / water before chop time will that be detrimental to the end result, would tap (I use a water softer / hard water filter due to high levels of iron) water be a better choice?

Appreciate any advice. I couldn't get a good shot with my phone for the trichomes but this is where its at. Week 10 flower photoperiod (pic is from the end of week 9, 2 days ago) unknown sativa bagseed.

Its not ready and no need to flush. Flushing is a myth and always has been. Looks like you have about 3 weeks at least still to go. Where are you seeing the amber?

So if you don’t flush, the nutes won’t show up in the taste? When I was looking through my jewelers loop I spent like 30 min looking at all the buds and obviously I’m guessing but about 1 out of every 10 are turning amber.

No there’s several articles on it. The taste is generally from poor drying conditions. We’re you checking the bud itself or fan leaves.
