okay, i'm on day 51 w/ a dual 250 hps settup

I know i need to be flushing alot at this stage... im using botanicare CLEAREX and it says to use every 7-21 days. i water every 3 days or so, at this stage i'm thinking i should use this flushing solution every other water, but is that even enough? ...
how often should i flush w/ clearex?


I need to dry and put them in jars so any info i might need to know at this stage would be appreciated


I know when hang drying the plants need to be in a dark, dry place. Would i be better off leaving them in the small enclosed room w/ the exhaust and oscillating fan, or should i bring them inside? If I leave them in the grow room should i leave either the exhaust or the oscillating fan on?

Thank you everyone

Oh yea, my sour og plant has recently gotten what looks to be spider webs growing on 2 of the cones. Is this a bug problem, a nute/heat issue, or something else? And what should be done to treat it?

I'm going to flush them out again today, is there anyone out there who can give me some input?

Good dates to harvest when moon signs are right: dec 15 dec 16 dec24 dec25

These are dates when moon is in a dry harvest sign and will decrease tendency to mold etc.

However, if these dates are not convenient for harvest (trichomes) disregard.

There are lots of threads on flushing, I'm no expert there.

Hang plants to dry in cool dark place with good air circulation. Plants are dry when stem snaps easily. They can then be placed in jars for curing. MUST open jars daily for 15 minutes or so to allow gas to escape 2-3 times daily. If left in jar with no air, plants will get wet again and mold. Enjoy.

look on the bottom of the leaves for mites. the webs you described sound like spider mites get some no-pest strips if you see them and they should take care of them. but im not sure if you can use around harvest so watch out for any others:jointsmile:
