8 Weeks Bloom Update: Should I Start Flushing My Autoflower?

I’ve got this autoflower that’s on its 88th day since germination and about 8 weeks into bloom. Do the top buds look okay to you? They don’t seem burnt or anything, do they? Most of the trichomes are still clear, with about 30% being milky and the rest cloudy. Should I start flushing now, or wait until all the trichomes turn milky? I’m running a DWC system.

Currently im feeding her with GHE ripen according to the schedule

They good to me😁 how long you planning on flushing for? From the look of them id say youre probably pretty close on your timing

Your plants look great! Sometimes the fan leaves will start showing yellowing late in flower as they slow down their intake of nitrogen. Personally, I don’t flush my plants prior to harvest. There’s some that swear by it though. I use the KootMed’s recipe for Jack 321 hydro. Without looking, I believe his calls for the last 1-2 weeks of the grow with straight water.

Maybe for about 3 days. I’m not entirely sure since this is my first grow. I’d love to chop her already, but I’m worried the potency and effects might not be strong enough yet. I’ve heard the optimal peak is when all the trichomes are cloudy. She’s getting really heavy, and it’s becoming harder to do things like changing the reservoir lol.

You did great for your first grow. Yes. Most go for a 80/20 cloudy/amber before harvesting.

Thanks! I’m not planning on doing a long flush though. Like I said, about 2 days with GHE Flora Kleen and one day with straight water since this is hydro.

Looks like I should wait another week or two before she’s ready. Geez, it feels like it’s taking forever :upside_down_face:

:rofl: I feel that way on every grow!

Just water feed to liberal run off until harvest, the same as flushing. To be honest I’ve flushed and not flushed and can’t tell a difference :love_you_gesture:
