Advice on flushing

[jaynewbie]

Hi team,

I know the rules of thumbs up for pre-harvest is7 - 10 days flushing for coco.

I'm in 4th week of flowering , autoflowering

Is it a good time to flush or i should wait ?
I'm aiming for 100% cloudy.

I have a carson mcbrite 120x microscope but it's hard to use it...

You have a long time yet

And most do not flush,if you mean flush and starve her the last week's of her life of food

If you mean flush to remove salt build up, go for it now

Otherwise no flush, feed her till harvest

Flush as in her last week of her life of food. Usually when do we feed that and how do we know is it ready ?

If it's brown flush it down, if it's yellow let it mellow. Flushing is for toilets.

Proper irrigation for your medium/conditions is all you need.

No good reason to starve a plant at the finish line.

Not all ways but most of the time wen you first think she's done wait another week or 2 imo you don't want to be harvesting to earlie!!!

Don't flush

Feed till harvest

And she has weeks to go...like 4 or so

These may help in when to harvest

All brown pistil and curl , right?

Okay , what's the tip not to harvest too early? I know 10 days is required for flushing.

That's one way , my carson mcbrite plus is hard to see cause it keep on shaking. I can view it 120x but shaky .So now im in the dilemma whether is it clear or cloudy

Try a phone microscope app

I use Cozymag, can get fantastic pics with my simple Android phone

Lots easier than loops

I think my s10 having issue using this app. Just tried, but under 10x , i can't see anything.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Zoom back,play with it...

I love my app, it's perfect for trics

 

[Chris Scorpio]

At 10x ya can't be an inch away, need to move the camera back, poke the screen to focus

Rinse and repeat

Got it will retry it, btw after doing some research some say sativa takes up to 13 week after flowering flipped to harvest? I'm trying to get a better guidance on this to gauge when to flush

 

[Chris Scorpio]

DONT FLUSH!!!!!!!!

Remember friends, when a trichome turns cloudy,,

cloudy, not amber,,

when a trichome turns cloudy,, it is "already" beginning to degrade

AAlready losing some of the psycoactive ingredients

BBetter to harvest early than late

OOh, my two bits,, flushing certainly does not "hurt" anything, and most of the nutrients one uses get flushed down the drain, with runoff et all anyway,, cutting out nutes near the end is not critical, one way or the other

That Regular seeds not sure that applies to Auto's, though my knowledge of Auto's limited. Also you are asking for advice from folks but seem to have already made up your mind on flushing .

So 95% cloudy should be okay?
