When to start flushing before harvest?

[Ganja_mama93]

Hi, everyone.
I read that i should flush the plants 2 weeks before harvesting but how do i know when they have 2 weeks left so i can start giving only water? They are in 3rd week of flowering.

The ends are a bit burned so i put the light higher and i decreased intensity from 100% to 75%. Hopefully it helps.
Are they looking okay, overall? I defoliated them for 3rd time a few days ago. I think was my final defoliation.

Looks like you have any 5 more weeks of flowering. You need a jewelry loop magnifier to get close to the buds and check the color of your trichs. When they are milky color and amber they are ready for harvest. That's the only real way to tell. The burnt leafs look a little bit like nutrient burn. Trying giving water only like every 3 feeds. Helps the nutrients not get stored in the soil.

this is one of mine. Still has 3 weeks. But you want all those white pistols missing red and curling back into the bud

When you buy seed it’ll say on the information about it how long of a flowering cycle they have. That’s the time from the light switch of 18/6 to 12/12. The first day you switch is day one. Usually strains are 56days through 84 days. So 8 weeks to 12 weeks. You are on week 3 out of week 8 at the very least. What strain is it and what Seedbank did you use? Sometimes a week 8 finishing strain can get done in 7 weeks. A half week sooner if I use it for rosin and what white rosin

I think most people who grow in living soil don't use " chemicals " but if you do then yes i would flush. There are better ways to feed all plants without using chemicals.

Mine are autos. The onw on the firat picture (the darker one) is even a fast bud and it said on the pack that it should be ready in 8 weeks… and 8 weeks already passed but i also think it needs a couple of more. The first picture is Banana purple punch. The second one is classic - Purple haze.

Hi. My soil is Plant Magic Soil.. is it living soil? Or anything thats not coco is living soil?
I use only the Advanced nutrient’s trio : Micro, Grow and Bloom. I thought i should use nutrients. Thats my first growth so im still a bit confused. I read about organic fertiliser made of banana peel, epsom salt, crushed egg shells in powder and coffee grounds. I actually made it but then i thought that i dont really know how much NPK is it in there so i decided to use the bought ones. Can you tell me your ways of organic feeds?
Also on my Advanced nutrient’s ones says on the label to use equal amounts of each one of them till the end but i also read that Nitrogen should be minimised during flower so how much should i put from each one of them? Should i increase the Bloom fertiliser and decrease the Micro?

Flushing and watering with plain water are two different things. Flushing is running a lot of water through the pot and is best for removing excess nutrients. Using plain water is just not adding more nutrients and is what I usually do. I use dry organic nutrients that are added at intervals of a few weeks. The last time I fertilize photoperiod plants is about 3 to 4 weeks after the flip. If it's a long-flowering variety, I usually add nutrients twice during flowering.

I have the same nutrients although I think they are branded different in the uk. Here’s a pic of the feed schedule I’ve used to good effect in the past it came with the bottles.

Thank you. Next time ill try your method, it sounds much easier and not so time consuming and most importantly - healthier and organic.

Thats a different brand. I think most of the brands have this trio set. If i have to be honest i was torn between your brand and mine as both of them were accessible on Amazon

Guys, help! Every 5,6 days i find a few leaves like that but only on this plant. The other one is fine, i havent found any other leaves like that. Is it nitrogen burn or deficiency?

No, i dont see any insects. I check the plants everyday… weird..

they getting calmag?
what you feeding?

The strange thing is that i look after both of them the same way but only this one is getting leaves like this. No, i havent used calmag because i read that if you grow in soil you dont need it. Only coco growers add this nutrition. Is that right, or?
I feed them 2 ml of each : micro, grow and bloom Advanced nutrients brand. It says 4 ml on the label but i read that with autos it was always better to half the amount given on the label..
