Absolute best time to flush for harvest

[mrmccarter]

Hey guys,

I'm wondering when I should start my 2 week flush?
And what pH water I should flush at also how should the tricomes look before I start my flush

Anyone?

Depends on the flowering period for the strain you are growing. If not sure then I'd go by the appearance of the flowers and trichomes. When most of the hairs are shriveled and going red and the trichs are beginning to show some cloudy then I would be flushing them good,

I like to harvest when half the trichs are cloudy and before any amber starts other than a couple here and there if any. Amber means THC is degrading and I don't want much of that.

So a cloudy trichs and strived hairs are what I should be looking for ?

Yup cloudy will be more uppity amber will be more of a couchlock type high and once the hairs go from white to reddish orange and shrivel a bit
