You use a magnifying glass to look at the trichomes when they are big, clear and round like a golf ball sitting on a tee then you can start to flush. By the time the flush is finished you should see a few the trichomes start to turn cloudy you could harvest all your hard work.

they'l get bigger from now on and if u prune off many of ur leaves so they get more light they will drink more water too.---its a pre-trim for more yield---

1. Yes buds can really explode in the last few weeks
2. you should know when week seven arrives cos you should be keeping a note of when u started em.
3. 2 weeks before the chop give them a good flush , twice maybe, then go on and use pure water .

peace n good luck with ur harvest :)
