Flush, Harvest, Wet trim? Tips?

MississippiQueen · Mar 27, 2025

This is my second grow.
I believe this girl is either Zelato or Pluto pop strain.
Medium is Coco coir, soil from my garden and perlite mix.
Nutes used are Fox farm, cal/mag, big bloom, tiger bloom and added PK 13/14 towards the end.

With my first grow (mystery strain), I never saw anything except clear trichomes even once everything else green was dead and gone. Came out with a nice little harvest, purple and beautiful. The cure wasn’t perfect as it still has a very hay/grassy smell to it, but hoping it’ll still take me to the moon. But not currently partaking for employment purposes.

This grow I’m finally seeing all the stages, got the first couple of Amber trichomes showing and I’m ready to start ramping things down.
Information is all over the place and I’m sure responses will be here as well. But I need input on what I should continue adding to the water at this point. My understanding is that I could continue with the big bloom, just lowering the amount, but I’m unsure if I should continue adding the rest for the last 7 to 10 days/2 weeks.
And trying to figure out if I’m supposed to do a big flush “3x the amount of water as the size of the pot” etc.
Also I will post a few good pics of close ups of buds for any tips about “cut this not that” for wet trimming when it’s time.

Hello. Personally I have not flushed right before harvest but by then my plants are changing colors and dying. I stop giving nutes 2 weeks before expected harvest.

But I have stopped too early and they'll show signs of deficiency.

If I wet trim it's just the bigger leaves I cut off. Hang her upside down to dry. At least 7 to 10 days. Then I trim. That's what's easy for me. When I would wet trim it always gunked up everything.

Others should reply with better info for you. I'm kinda new at growing.

I would keep that plant going looks to me like it could plump and fill out more. When i see my plant looking like a week to go i give only water and mine tend to drink way less water. So don't cut too soon regardless of what the breeder says, go a week later and check make sure those trichomes are at least all milky.

Still feeding. 10 weeks since first visible flower. I have just a very small amount of noticeable amber on some of the top buds, some cloudy and some clear still. I have concerns about the amount of sugar leaves dying, but again not sure what’s normal either.
Buds are small in my opinion but they are many
Here are the sugar leaves turning 1/3-1/2 are about like this.

What did you end up doing? Gonna have some good smoke by the looks of those frosty nugs.

Looks like you may have overdone the nutes there at the end by the looks of those leaves…not the standard yellowing, but dying back from the tips, looks like they got a little burnt. No big deal.

It’s normally for the fan leaves to yellow and fall off at the end (sometimes fairly rapidly). But your sugar leaves shouldn’t brown/burn.

Towards the end, the plant is sucking nutrients out of the fan leaves (including sugar), which is why they start to die off.

As for wet vs. dry Trim. I would personally prefer Dry, although I did a wet trim last year, because I was having problems with Bud rot. Wet trimming is a pain in the balls. By the time you've been at it an hour or two, it's like you've been playing with super glue.
