Harvest

[BoofPakk]

In the middle of week 7 any advice on what to do please tell me

looking nice, maybe its time to start flushing with plain water and wait some more (:

[BoofPakk]

Can you explain flushing to me? I read a lot about it but i just don't really get it.

[9fingerleafs]

yes sure, flushing is giving a plant only water at the end of her life in order to force the plant to use the nutrients it has stored inside the leaves, this results in a smoother and flavorful smoke. in hydroponics its a must, in soil not so much unless you feed a lot of nutrients

[BoofPakk]

Oh I was under the impression that you flush a couple gallons of water through the plant so it has an abundant runoff. So I should just feed plain water and molasses (which i have been doing). The leaves are turning a real pale yellow and the stems of the leaves are also turning purple, shouldn't i add nutrients?

Maybe, you might want to add some molasses, in your water the last week or two,I would for sure wait till you see some amber on the buds, not leaves, before you harvest though.
Nice BoofPakk.

I add 2 tablespoons per gallon every watering. To me the buds still look very small but some of the top buds are getting amber but it doesn't seem like a lot. I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

Looks like these have a ways to go yet. I could be wrong but at least a couple more weeks maybe more

Weeks to go. Pistils are still very white. Look for them to turn brown.
Also, look at your tri's with 25X or stronger. They start clear. When turn white to cloudy with some amber, then you can get serious about choosing
a harvest day. You can also partially harvest to let individual buds or branches mature.
