Can i cut yet? BACKGROUND: -In 3gallons of FoxFarms OceanForest, and only ferted twice the last two waterings (half gallon-3/4 gallon each plant), then flushed just few days ago with 15-20 gallons of water -I saw no ambers, maybe two, then yesterday i plucked some leafs and put em under the scope and noticed quite a few of the trich heads had amber dots in them SO my question is- is the flush good enough? If i go look at the leafs today and i notice quite a few ambers i wanna chop, but not if you guys suggest watering once more to ensure a good flush and time for the plants to pull more outa their own leafs any suggestions? | ||

| anyone? theres no way i could flush again as id have to move em outside yet again and that was a pain..i could water em about a gallon each and wait few days to cut or just cut. i wanna do this right, its already some sick a$$ product i got i dont wanna cut if the flush i gave wasnt sufficent enough, or if i need to allow more time since the flush | ||

| you wanna let em kind of go without anything (don't water 2-3 days before cutting) it helps them dry out... you want about 50/50 cloudy/amber trichs.. post pics if possible..  good luck

 | Sounds to me lke they're ready to be harvested (for my preferences). I grow hydro, so the plants are always getting watered right before harvest - it make no difference. You might want to compare this to what you saw under your microscope.

| It takes a good week of straight flushings to get the leaves to start yellowing up nice to the point where it will taste better. Trichs are only one part of the equation.

| Water the same day/frequency just "flush" it when you do with 3 to 5x the volume of the container.

| ive already done a 5x flush..what do i do now? water alil every few days with tap water or everyday? or only if it gets dry then water? i wanna let the soil dryout abit before i cut to allow the plant to dry quicker instead of cuttin the day after i water, unless this effects the taste but as i said it appears i only have a few ambers so i dunno how many days i have till i have about 30-50% ambers but what should i be focusing on till then? | ||
