Feeding the last 2 weeks

[GrowrLvlNoob]

So I'm roughly 10-14 days from harvest should I start to flush or continue feeding for a bit. The only thing I'm using right now is Kool bloom. Should I run it until the last week? How often should I be feeding if so

2 weeks seems a lil soon brother. She looks like a lil more than that. You have no amber yet, no yellowing leaves, and i think she will swell up more if you let her. What is the number of days you have flowered and how many days does breeder say??

It's a bag seed so no info, I'm on day 45 of flower

Hard to tell with my magnifier I'll be upgrading soon

She's dropped several leaves but still a lot of green, I'll let her go as long as it takes I just want to be extra cautious about the harvest process I have harvested early and it was garbage. Don't want to make that mistake this time.

I suggest 30 to 50 percent amber and also wait for yellowing leaves and then use a jewelry microscopic at 100x and check trichs they should be milky white

Agree with Ken. Keep feeding for another week or two until you see amber starting. Then you can start just flushing with water. You could even go longer, waiting to go water only for a couple weeks when she gets about 30-50% amber.

Trichomes that are amber is when the THC is just passing it's peak. Cloudy - more of a head buzz (sativa like), amber - more of a body buzz (indica like).

Congrats on a great looking bag lady

Cool thanks for the help. I'll go ahead and continue my feeding schedule until the trichomes start to change more. I have a USB microscope coming in a few days so that should give me a better idea of where I'm at thanks again guys

I normally start flush 10-14 days before harvest. Flushing will fatten your buds up and ripen them off. I never wait til 30% amber because if you start flushing at that point there is a much higher chance the plant will get bud rot. Id be wanting to harvest at 30-50% not starting flush. Its personal preference but you want to make sure plant is flushed well to get any shit out and have a better end product.

Thanks Cultivator I think the trouble I'm having right now is if I'm truly 10-14 days out from harvest. I'm waiting on a microscope but I agree with your assessment on flushing and will start around 30% amber.

 

[Cultivator]

Flushing at the right time wont only clean your plants out. It will boost yield and quality as the plant is forced to finish. Many people dont flush correctly and miss out on extra weight as a result. Small detail but can add as much as 15% to final product.

What's your grow medium? If soil, then just feed regular with ph'd water (no added nutes) for 1-2 weeks before harvest. If coco coir or some other similar medium do the same as soil except 5-7 days. If deep water culture then flush nute water and use plain ph'd water for the last 3-4 days.

Dont ph the water. Its not necessary and you are adding chemical to the flush. Plain water is all you need no matter what the medium or set up.

 

[Cultivator]

Id also flush min 7 days no matter what the media but 10 is better.

Cool cool guys ok so I'm growing in ffof I'm gonna feed tomorrow for the last time that should give me 10-14 days of flush. I use purified water pH at 7 so no biggie with that. I'm heavy on nitrogen from the look of her so if it ends up a 14+ day flush that should be fine too

 

[SGreenman90]

Yup, sounds good! Just keep an eye on the yellowing. You don't want your sugar leaves turning completely yellow
