Flushing Before harvest...

[elway07]

Ok guys here are my babies and they have just began week 5 of flowering on Monday. I do not know the strain of either plant and I have made my own strain with the cross of them both. I know that you are supposed to flush flush flush with just ph balanced water before harvesting. My question is... how many weeks are left in flowering when you begin flushing? the last two weeks??? I have no clue
I am already seeing some reddish hairs on these buds..not many but maybe 3%.. iS THAT NORMAL? They are showing more trichomes this week, but can't wait until they are close to finish!!! I am guessing a few more weeks??
Thanks all

Others may differ, but my method relies heavily on organics and I don't really flush before harvest.
If I did, I would say it would be with 1-2 weeks left, flush heavily, then allow to DRY OUT to stress the plant into max resin production.
Hope that helps.

thanks stinky... how do these buds look for a 4 week flowering process? ok size?

[stinkyattic]

Yup. They're on their way and you will see more bulk in the next few weeks.

personly i flush in the 7th week of flowering and i use just normal tap water
then i leave it for the last week so the soil is totally dry befour i harvest
then the drying dosent take quite as long eigther
but i guess thats just personal preference, it works nice for me so i stick to it like
hey elway m8 that plant looks fucking lovely do ya wanna share lol

cheers all
