![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Go ahead and cut. It sounds like the trichs are way you want 'em and you've already done quite the flush. Personally, I've never much worried about the watering aspect. Since they are in Hempy buckets, my plants are harvested from damp medium. Just think...your leaves will be nice and turgid for trimming. Let 'er rip and don't think anymore about it. You can refine technique next time around. Thus sprach, mayan.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | i think im gonna wait a few days, but heres my issue theres so much info on flushin on this site and others i dunno what to do cuz its all diff opions that conflict with what others say im growing in ORGANIC soil (foxfarms ocean forest)..and many say you cant really flush organic well I only gave straight un phd tap water to my pants all through veg and most the way through flower...I gave them 1tbs big bloom, 1tsp tiger bloom one watering, then few days later when soil was drying out i gave them 1tbs big bloom, 1 tsp tigerbloom, and 1/8tsp cha ching (this is my blend per gallon and each plant got only 1/2-3/4 of a gallon)....then waited a few days and took them outside and ran 15-20gallons through them...its now been like 2days and soils still alil moist and some of the leafs, very few, had yellowed up, but most are still nice n green so for those who know their flushin such as allycat, buzz, outdoors, and hyde what can you suggest to me based on the info i just gave? anyones are welcome | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | So from my search this is what i have come up with. No need to flush organics, as organics work as organisms break down the nutrients like guano and its what they leave behind that the plant uses, and you cant flush out nutrients like guano, wormcasting and so on...many say to go lower doeses on ferts or go with those such as molasses or seaweed with water for last week or two. Some say its a good idea to try and lower the nutes if your adding any to allow the plant to use up some of what it has stored in its leafs. some have even brought the point that the plants put on the most weight in the last two weeks, so why would you want to stop feeding the ladies and lose the potential. So this is what im thinking i should do and you tell me if im followin the right path... i have already flushed, and im assuming i have a chance for 1-2 more waterings before the chop. I'll water tomorrow with plain water or with molasses if i have the energy to go pick some up.. I did add a total of 2tsp of tiger bloom that was spread out between 10 ladies and two different feedings so thats not very much per plant, so im sure that will be wiped out after tomorrow if its not already from the flush. So as far as "flushing" goes after my watering tomorrow (just enough to allow alil runoff) i should be just fine, and only have to focus on the trichs till i see some more ambers and go in before the lights flip on and chop em down...and maybe ill have a chance to get another watering in before then | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() | I say don't water the last two or three days before choppin' because for me it helps em dry a lil quicker (from 7-8 days to 5-6 days) ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I vote that you water them again real good and wait another 5 days and check for ambers again.. not enough ambers, then repeat. My smoke does taste better if those leaves have yellowed off real good. ![]()
