So on day 44 flower here, I have some bagseed, and one other strain that I'm not sure about.

Anyway, I'm using 252w of (2700k) CFL's...

Keeping temps at 79-84max, humidity is 38%-42%. Using Fox Farms Ocean Forest (soil), and Advanced Nutrients 3 part (grow, micro, bloom)


I'm wondering when I should start flushing these girls? And then how long should I flush until harvest?

Any other tips regarding flushing/harvest are welcome...

I am using molasses, every so odd waterings with 1/4 tbsp / L of water (basically 1tablespoon per gallon)

Thanks guys :hug:



picture guide:

Pic1, pic 3, and pic 4 is the larger one, and pic 2 is the smaller one.

I think the larger plant is the indica, and the smaller one is a hybrid with like 70% sativa.

Also, the smaller one is in a smaller pot than the larger one.

That all depends man you are gonna hear it all, it dont matter when you do or if you do, gonna hear 3 weeks, but me i will flush for 14 days before i chop, i dont want any nute tasting buds, but like i said some people say you dont have to and they need nutes more the last few weeks than the hole grow. Good luck in your choice and have a happy harvest

Well when do you think that bud will be ripe? I will just figure out myself when to flush, cause I do want to...

I just have no idea how close it is really, this is my first

Two to three weeks COULD be ideal but check your trics, if u can, you may be closer to 1 to 2. Flushing early will NOT hurt your grow and you can use that molasses up until harvest which the plant can use up until harvest and it wont affect taste.

Where should I get the sample from? My buddy has a scope I can use :P


And yeah I planned to go molasses all the way, probably start using plain water for a week or a week and a half..

For the trichs, I'm looking for 50% amber, 50% cloudy right?

*** Week Later Update ***

I'm starting to think the 2 week estimate is going to be correct... It looks like they're still gaining a little weight every few days, and more hairs are receding and turning brown... They are also acquiring this VERY sour, yet extremely peppery smell. When I brush my arm near it when handling it my whole arm stinks :clap:

Pics are from today, Day 51


There are still some calyx's on the tops of the buds that are still sticking straight out... Is it odd that the lower the bud is on the plant, the more mature it looks? My largest cola is like half really receded hairs/red hairs, and the top is all white sticking out? Eh, I dunno ill be waiting till the whole thing finishes before cutting.

Also, I have some buds that are somewhat developed RIGHT under the canopy. Could I harvest like half the plant, and then let the rest develop a little while longer?

It's last feeding was yesterday, I'm watering with molasses every other watering now.
