i disagree with the above post....at 9 wks in you should be selectively removing fan leaves that are blocking light to lower bud sites. this will also help with air movement through your plants, lessening the chances for mold. if you're running a sativa that will finish in 14 wks, i might hold off for a few more weeks...

smokinrav said:To the OP. If you must do something with your leaves, just move them out of the way. Don't remove them or you will be doing your plants a disservice.
LOL, this is a chicken-or-an egg debate! Farmers circle this topic with great debate. It's all up to you, so do what ever you're comfortable with. Another thing to consider is how many plants you're growing and what type of growing technique you adopt. I'm Scrog-er with many plants, so I say yes. I clip and pluck all of the time. If I only had a few plants in a closet I would do a bit less plucking.
Flushing: I start with a clear-ex flush and then flush(with pH water) for a about week.
Sunbiz1: With a 10 week strain, I would start flushing sometime during week 9. I guess it depends on your medium too. I use rockwool and like to flush for about 7 days. As far as the 7-9-10 etc... week strains, that should be a rough estimate. I think most folks claim rapid maturing (ie 7 week strains) just to sell their seeds. I am growing Super Skunk and it suppose to be a 7 week strain and I am day 57. I am started flushing last Wednesday. IMO - keep a close I on the trichomes. They should be fogging and swollen and if you monitor them regularly it's pretty obvious when it ready. I am taking the Super Skunk down tomorrow (i hope) but my GDP will go another week. Get a 60x pocket microscope. They are about 15 bucks.
Bruno-Why do you think it went too long? What strain and how long did you go? Were the trichomes orange and shriveling or did you have it tested? Most people tend to take it down too soon.
