i know that the average time to flush out the nutes with straight ph adjusted water is about 2 weeks before harvest.....

but my question is when do you know when you are 2 weeks from harvesting? are there any signs in the bud on when you change over your REZ with ph adjusted water? thanks

about 14 days before you take a pair of pruning shears to the stem...

i would say it's kinda a personal preference thing.....it all depends on when you want to harvest. if your looking at the tricombs, then when they are getting close, but not quite there yet. if your looking at the buds, then just as the pods begin to swell and the hairs begin to turn brown/red.

thanks dylan for that advice....but may i ask more? i know that when the hairs start to turn brown/red/orage color, that it is time to harvest. is it 2 weeks AFTER the hairs start to change color? or when the hairs change color, it is time to harvest? i know i know i'm being nit picky, but that is a 2 week gap right there

I feed organic and end up doing a mild flush about 5 days before harvest...
