Both tents are looking killer Joe! The stooges are getting nice and fat. Such a difference from the outdoor trials and tribulations.

in short i went to Edward scissor hands and almost a whole grocery store plastic bag full nuts. also got bamboo sticks at buck store for 2.50 for like 15 of them . brought the stems some reinforcements. lol see where scrog benefits or would have benefited me this run.
moe i will be doing a 14 day flush starting now no point wasting nutes lost it.
larry and curly are doing great top half of plants. nice chunky monkeys
plus side
big bomb i think will be better and ogc will be okay.
i need to carry this info with me all summer til next winter when i can come back to win a title here. dats right. I say it proudly, I am coming for you fockers soon. lol
sorry about no audio move fast and forward through it to see it in quick time
Who says you can't win a title now?
I wouldn't recommend starving any plant for 2 weeks before you chop it. If it's going to do anything in those two weeks, feed it. If it's not, take it down now. I don't understand the logic.

you need to flush out chemicals and salt build ups which will force the plant to take from the plant onnce i see it happen i will cut.Who says you can't win a title now?

For two weeks? Nah. If you insist on flushing (which I don't), please don't starve your plant when it needs food the most.

sorry please explain your reasoning
First there's this:
A critical look at preharvest flushing
And then this from Penny:
Why force your plant to eat itself at the end when you would never do it earlier in the grow. It's trying to produce the biggest buds it can to protect its "bloodline" at the end. Don't starve it.

I would take as much nitrogen out of it as I could. Other than that I don't think it matters
I feel potassium is all they need in the end... And supplements nitro and phosphorus can go bye bye. But I agree with the other guys. Flush is more of a last minute ordeal to me. How can you flush for 2 weeks if you don't know how long the trics take to ripen? Some go amber in days, others in weeks. So unless it's a clone batch from mother, you are kinda stuck with a short flush if any at all. The main thing for me is over a 2 or 3 day chop is getting the girl easting herself first. That can be done with small waterings over a week or one big flush the night before. And as shed said I prefer to let my plants have the nutes until d day. Flush hard chop quick
Are you flushing to make trimming easier? Because according to the article I linked and PW's post, you don't need to clear nutes from the buds.
No I mean I didn't flush until the night before. And flushed some but not enough to be trimming toasted buds on day 3.....
Flushing is controversial but I agree with Dabs, last week or so they really only need potassium. Last 2 plants I harvested I didn’t flush and I really can’t tell a difference.

so you would suggest to keep feeding it... but only bloom no micro
ive only been giving 1.25 ml of micro now.
so ppm in in all big headband was 730 in
recipe was 2 ml over drive
2.5 ml humunga bud
5 ml cal mag
1.25 ml micro
3 ml bloom
so you are all saying you dont believe in flushing to push your plant into lets go mode. here is what i am going to do. i will continue to feed moe for another week then i will do a 7 day -10 day flush. to test

what kind of difference buddy

okay i will take your advice as im sure you guys have more experience then myself thank you all. i will consider this info.
There is no difference in smell or taste if I flush or not
Between the hard science of that article I linked and the experience of Penny, I can't see why you would flush, even as a test! With no difference in taste, why starve a plant of what it needs after all this time and work?
Those last 2 weeks before harvest is where the flowers really bulk up and push out the trichomes if you have the light and you for sure have the light!
