Thank you

Awesome job they look just perfect. It is a good time to start flushing I'd say. Take off dying leaves to keep clean. Probably two weeks away from harvest but you'll have to check the trichomes

thank you for your answer I'll flush and check the trichomes.

Beautiful grow!! Have you looked at the trichomes with a microscope? Best way to be sure...

Great looking grow!. I do see lots of white hairs sticking up still. IMO, wait for them to go red / brown and shrivel back into the bud. Like Alltatup says, check the trichomes with a loupe or scope. I would suggest starting the flush when at least half the trichomes are cloudy. Clear trichomes = a more racy effect, Amber = more couch lock. Somewhere in between is what many growers try for.
