The day you decide to give only pure water, go ahead and flush the plant out. Use 5 gallons of clean water for every gallon of soil. So if you have a 3 gallon pot, dump 15 gallons of water through it. I suggest putting a wire mesh over your bath tub drain, and doing it in there. You want all 15 gallons to run through the soil and out the bottom of the plant to "flush" out all the built up salts and nutes. laterz..
here is updating.
they start to mature. two weeks to harvest. i begin to give only water to them, it´s early to start flushing?
i cut one bud(40% orange hairs) from the bottom and dry it. i smoke them today and is very good smoke. good buzz on the head and great taste. and i do not cure the bud, just dry it and smoke after 1 week drying in the closet.
here more photos take today
ignore the color of the 'hairs', that is not a good way to determine maturity ... get a strong magnifying glass, and inspect the 'trichomes' ... http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs...n-harvest.html
I personally grow until the trichomes are about 10%-20% amber ... :smokin:
here the last pics, what you think, one more week to go?
the bottom fan leaf they start to get yellow, this is a sign of maturity? and the "hairs" they are about 60% orange brown.
i dont have any magnifying glass to see the trichomes, but i think that are others signs of maturity, am i right?
here the last pics before the harvest, they have almost all the pistils orange brown, the fan leaves turns yellow and 30% cloudy trichomes. so its time to harvest!:jointsmile:
tomorow i post pics of harvest time,what you think?
:Dso like i promise here are the pics. the 2 top colas from my mexican sativas. i hope you enjoy.
p.s. has you can see i toke some sample from the first cola, and trust me, what great smoke they are!:stoned: and i dont give that sample any cure, just one week drying.
nice job on those sativas bro. they look good.
