Indicas usually take 7-9 weeks, don't bother looking at the pistols, use the trichs to judge when to harvest. A plant needs to be flushed for 7 days. So... for a period 7 days, stick to your normal feeding frequency, but feed with plain PH adjusted water.


People have differing opinions on the efficacy of 48 hours of darkness before harvest.


I let my plants dry a little in the pots, while under the lighting. I do 7 days flush, then let the plants use up SOME of the water they have left (usually about 2 days). I find this helps with drying times.
PhatJay Reviewed by PhatJay on . Plant almost ready for harvest -- what do I do now? I'm approaching the 9th week of flower -- indica strain. Starting to see a few amber trichs, many cloudy, a few still clear. Pistules are about 90 brown, except at the very top of the top cola. I'm going to flush in about 2 days. Is just one flush sufficient? After flush should I put the plant in darkness for 48 hours? After the 48 do I chop or just let the plant dry out for a while? All help appreciated! Thanks. Rating: 5
