Beginner question(flushing)

[zserbo]

Hi guys
Is she near to flushing ? She is in 7 weeks of flowering (RQS - royal gorilla) or i have to wait another 2 weeks ? Most trichomes are cloudy.

Thanks

Can you get some closer pics of the individual buds? Looks great!!!

She looks nice but a closer pic of trichomes would be handy so we can help u

I personally don’t think it’s done not at 7 week’s , I always said if you think it’s done wait a week and if you have patience wait 2 weeks , I would wait at least 2 this is just based on my experience I’ve had plants that got hot and turned trichomes cloudy and a week later new ones had formed clear I’m guessing stress could play a factor. Happy growing.

Personally I don’t flush, for the last 2 weeks I just water with molasses and Epsom salt or just phd water, it allows the terps to still develop without suddenly depriving them of nutes

Flushing is a choice. I do not flush myself. Never have any issues with the flower.

Welcome that’s a beauty !

I do not flush either, why take away something from the plant at such a crucial moment?

They just stress out especially if it’s longer then a week

There’s plenty of research showing it doesn’t play any benefit in final smoke and most people will say non-flushed has a better overall profile taste than flushed

As long as your not using any funky af nutrients like fish n kelp you’ll be just fine

Girls are gorgeous!!!

let those hairs curl in and buds tighten up, they’ll show you when they’re done

Just wanted to mention this. My gorilla grows need 11-12 weeks or more flower. The 8-10 weeks they say has always been too soon. Sometimes 13. Being a hybrid 60/40 sativa it seems to take a bit longer to ripen than they claim. Just my experience with gg. 2 years cloning a bean.

I do a one-and-done flush with 6 or 8 gallons of RO a couple of days before harvest. You will get varied opinions on flushing. Some do and some don’t. I honestly have no idea if it helps or not. I do get some interesting colors after I flush.

Here’s a pic post flush on a plant I grew a couple of years ago. She was a blue mystic - one of my very favorite strains.

How much weeks more what you say ?

Beautiful girls

Couple Weeks patience plays a huge roll at this point. Looks like those girls are gonna fatten up quite a bit.

Personally I don’t flush or do the 48 hours of darkness.

[zserbo]

I have to. Im using synthetic nutrients. Next round will be organic

[PharmerBob]

You taste organic, synthetics don’t seem to make a difference
