How Can You Tell If Your Plant Ready To Flush With Out Looking At Tri??

im on day 54 and just unsure if I'm ready to start a 2 weeks flush

When the hairs pull in and darken its about time. If you're still throwing white hairs it's too early. 2 weeks is a long flush.

Yeah I mean most are still white but there's a lot of orange ones that have pulled in as well I guess I'll probably give one more feeding and see what happens I would post some pics but my lights are on thanks tho

If the last pic is what they look like now the have a few weeks left before I'd flush. I run dwc so my flush is short. 5 days tops. But I cut ppm 10+ days before chop. But the look of the plant dictates when I chop. I used to watch trics but they just get a fine look. And if you haven't been overfeeding then you really don't need much of a flush. Your really just trying to get rid of excess nitrogen. That's why you want your leaves turning yellow as you finish. Check out @wasfromks ebb and gro gro. We're discussing the exact same thing there. His are further along than yours and he has a couple weeks

I disagree, there are a few other methods to tell how close to harvey the lady in question may be.

Read the thread in my signature line. How to harvest without a loupe, all written up for ya.

I think indoors to finish them off properly you need to give them 9/15 or even 8/16, otherwise they will kick on for too long.

Too each his own i guess. growing in Hydroponics has taught me to do everything a scientific way.

How do you gauge doneness on a girl who's grown purple trichomes that don't turn until they go amber? In my world you use other metrics. They're no less scientific, they just don't rely on a loupe. :)

50% amber? Wow, I'd never take a plant that long. Even my 69 day hybrids only get 10% amber.

Why not just do water only, and skip the "flushing" non sence. Flushing is for toilets, not plants. Unless your a very heavy feeder, or slam pgrs.

Nice trim job! You now officially have more fresh bud than I do, enjoy.
I think you can expect the buds to shrink close to half as they harden into nuggets. I would try and let your remaining plants grow a bit longer. Wait until the white hairs quit appearing, let the Calix swell and when the hairs start to fade you will have achieved maximum bulk and potency.
