Hmm. Sounds like you want to get absolutely rocked by your bud so adding some sticky is a good idea.
If it were me, I’d flush using Florakleen by general hydroponics then leave her in the dark for 48 hours. Be done with her inside of 1 week if you can.
I’m interested to see if her flavor will be affected by this.
@the2409labs I love my highs to be intense.
I thought I had awhile with her since trichomes look pretty clear. So you’d want to have her chopped and hanging in a week? I’m kinda freaking out cuz I didn’t expect to have to kinda rush her. I dont have a flushing agent right now will ph’d distilled water be ok? Do you ice bath them at all?
I didn’t read all the other posts, but I feel like plant is entering harvest window. If there’s not already sacks I would say unlikely for them to show up, pop, and develop seeds if plant was left to go another weekish. That’s probably what I would do.
@dbrn32 thanks bro I appreciate the help.
@the2409labs thanks for all your help. Florakleen will be here Friday. Plan on flush with ph’d distilled water tomorrow and florakleen flush on Sat.
@Psu8286 - do you have a scope or loupe that magnifies at least 60x? 40x isn’t enough to properly appreciate the maturity of your trichs. If you’re really looking for that dead ass couch lock then go an additional week. Just keep a CLOSE eye out for spontaneous seeding.
I’ve never icebathed but other growers swear by it. I think that’s personal choice. There’s no reason why you can’t flush, icebath AND lights out. My grows are all ebb and flow Hydroponics so I don’t ice my ladies.
If you don’t have a flush product, no worries. You can flush with just water. Some people flush with molasses and water. Personally I’ve never noticed a significant enough difference in taste from a molasses flush vs water flush so that’s totally a personal choice.
As you develop as a grower you’ll likewise develop your own personal preferences. Try this, scratch that, modify this, borrow that.
So if I were in your situation, looking for a knockout high, I’d water flush. @Myfriendis410 has a nice flush plan for you as well - taking more time than I initially recommended. Just remember to watch daily for nuts. On your last two days, lights out. As for icebathing, why not?! However that’s not my area of expertise so I will yield to growers with more experience on that subject.
I’d love to see how she looks right before harvest and then after your dry & cure! Also, definitely share with us the word on your final product!! (If you’re not too cemented to the couch to type!! and I hope it knocks your socks off)
Yay!!! Florakleen won’t disappoint. I promise. Definitely a worthwhile purchase my friend.
Will do. I’ve always loved super potent…everything. I love sativas and thought this strain would be a nice one. I’ve got Amnesia Haze, super lemon haze, and maui waui feminized photos and Amnesia Haze, ultra lemon haze autos. I love the energetic high.
I’d think flushing with molasses/h2o would benefit those growing in live soil, or organically. The sugars would give the helpful colonies something to live off without adding nitrogen. Adding molasses water to a fox farms nute grow or other highly synthetic grow would likely do nothing since all the helpful colonies have long since been destroyed.
@Drinkslinger are you not a fan of the fox farms trio? Just asking. I’m new to growing so I’m very green to it. Do you prefer going organic?
It looks like you are well covered. You are in the breeders window they give you or pretty close from what I found. It looks like you did a great job with her.
Thank you. It’s been a very interesting journey and I can’t wait to start it all over again. After I get through this one.
Fox farms nutes do a great job. I’m not knocking them. Most cultivators use them at some point. I still use the big bloom.
Yes, I prefer to grow organic, but it’s def more “work” than fox farms.
I’d say by the looks you are just entering the harvest window. I skimmed over some replies, but have you checked trichomes recently?
@MattyBear yes I’ve been monitoring them and they’re still clear.
Coming down next week. Saw beginnings of some very light amber under 60x loupe clear but getting less clean, checked on Monday. Ran ph’d tap water thru her 1 gallon, in 5 gal fabric pots.
Ran gal of distilled water thru. Nice light Carmel color runoff. Planning on flushing with Florakleen Sat. I need help with this last weeks I’ll pot as many pics as I can. She has a nice smell and buds are sticky as hell with nice cushion feel of the buds.
@Myfriendis410 I want my thc as high as possible. I want high energy daytime smoke.
@Drinkslinger - tru. I’ve actually never used Fox Farms. When I did mess around with soil and soil type mediums I used promix. But even then, I didn’t notice a big difference when I tried the molasses flush. That was also a long time ago and my palate wasn’t nearly as developed, so maybe I’m just rambling. lol.
I have’t f’d with soil in a mad long time. Too much damn trouble when growing hundreds of plants.
This was this morning
