I do a 7 day ec 400 ph 6.0 flush with 48 hrs darkness during this time. Then, no water last three days. This is done two weeks before harvest. I'd get other more experienced advice as well. Looking beautiful. Amber and foggy trichs are what I like. From energetic to couch lock ..

Thanks for the reply! Do you think I'll have 2 more weeks? The trichromes are milky, no amber yet. I've read 15 % cristal, 15% amber and 70% milky. The bottom leaves are yellowing

Biobizz is organic, its okay to not flush. That said, unlike many people who grow organic, I do flush for 1 week using epsom salts the first watering then just phed water (cause I use tap water, with RO its okay to not ph if its only water). Sometimes I do keep them in the dark for 2 days too but that depends on the season and bud size because if I have big buds and high humidity the risk of mold is too high, so it depends on the strain.
As for the trichomes, what you want is the most milky possible, its just that with most strains to get to almost fully milky some ambers are bound to appear, but not always. Just look for the clear ones turning milky, if it starts to put more than 10% amber (not counting the leaves that youre not gonna smoke) prolly a good idea to harvest unless you like more of a couch high. They have at least 1 more week I would say, if you keep us updated we can help, you never know until its finished.

Mind you that flushing will reduce yields and probably potency a little bit, specially if you flush for 2 weeks. Its only done so synthetic nutrient salts that might be accumulated in the soil and in excess in the plant get used or flushed away. I flush for one week because Im asthmatic and that makes it smoother in my experience but if youre going organic with biobizz you might wanna use that time to keep feeding them. Try both and see what you like best but dont do more than 1 week flush with organic, its really not necessary for smoothness.
