Day 11 from sprout whats going on...

So with the end coming near, I've been checking my trichomes and almost all are cloudy. Still some clear. No amber. I've notice some leafs are turning yellow in pigment and veins. I'm guessing this is the fade coming? They have been fattening up this past week. Since this is a haze, I've read sometimes the trichomes never go amber and stay cloudy... what do you guys think on the time frame until I start my flush. Also how long do I flush in hydro? I got some florakleen to use

Yup time to start keeping an eye out. Still a bit left IMO

Should I still be in late bloom nutes or onto the ripening nute ratios?

How many week strain and how many weeks are you? What are you looking to add?

The harvest range was 65-74 and day 1 way sept 7th so we are over that by about a week now. And the micro bloom ratio changes. 2.5ml micro to 8ml bloom

Looking like maybe a week to go but I cant see the trichs. Check buds at varying levels. Upper/lower/mid. When you see few clear and mostly cloudy it's time to consider harvest. The lower buds are usually less developed so I go by the overall plant. Not just the tops to hit the ideal harvest time

Alright gotcha I had to order another tent to dry lol. Since I have the other plant and need to put in darkness for 2 days. When should I start the flush? When the trichomes look rip or before they are ready to harvest? And how many days is enough for the flush?

Just drop ppm to 150-300. Usually a week or so is good in hydro from my experience. Unlike soil coco may benefit from longer as it takes time to reduce them ppm in the media.

So I would probably start now.

Well plant still isn't to my liking in the trichomes. Top colas have alittle amber not too much. Still see some clear and not fully developed milky so decided to let it go alittle longer. Plant is slowing starting to fade and die. Some of the upper leaves are getting alittle crispy on the tips. You guys think next weekend put it in dark and flush?

I think thats reasonable.

Well here we are at another week. Still taking longer than expected lol. Top colas have all thickened alittle and starting to have amber. Lower have only a few with amber starting so going to check everyday and try another week. Also have been only feeding water with some calmag in it and slowly lowering ppms until flush. Here's a pic of the little plant taking off

Well I cut the big one last Friday so 5 days dryinging. Cut the second one 2 days after and added to drying tent. Had humidifier going and look like average was 54 rh in tent and 67 degrees. The stems so crunch but they don't break if bent all the way in half. Buds are starting to tighten alittle and are losing the fresh lawn smell. The outside of the bud is pretty crispy. I wouldn't think its over dried because of the stems not breaking. What is a good indication of when to switch to the cure and out into jars?

@Aqua man any tips?
