Good morning. I’m on week 10 day 5. She’s pretty dry. Should I feed nutrients again and flush when dry or flush now? It’s very dry. It still is producing buds.

Greetings, brother.
You can flush now and once it drys out we will decide whether we want to feed anymore nutrients or just water with ph water. You are getting close but I am leaning towards putting her in the dark on the beginning of week 12 or the end. Meaning you are turning off her lights for 48 hours but you want her to be dry needing water so mold will not build up.
The purpose of this is when the plants thinks it is dying it produces more tricones because this is their only defense, but it is good for strength of the buds. I will sent a pick of one coming out of the dark period before chopping.
Take care.

Hi. A couple more pictures. I went ahead and fed nutrients. It should be dry again on the 1st or 2nd day of week 11 to flush. My ph out was 6.39. Have a good day.

This plant amazes me.
Do you have fresh air intake in your tent? I have my charcoal filter hanging inside my tent exhausting air out and the circulation fan is built into my light. I will have to lower it and hang to dry above it unless you have another suggestion. Have a great day.

Greetings, brother.
I would just raise my fan as high as I could.
Most tents have a removable cover on the sides of the bottom of the tent. I would suggest removing one of them when drying.
I would place a rack even such as a oven rack stood up or two of them tie wrapped together with electrical ties on the corners.
And clothes pin them on .
I have extra chrome shelves left over and use them. You can go to lowes or home depot and buy the white clothes closets racks and cut one in half tie wrap them together stood up. And pin your branches on them is what I do. I never use anything else. I sent pics before above.

That is raise your light as high as you could.
Turn your carbon filter fan on low. Remove a vent cover on the bottom, set in your rack for drying. Sorry I just woke up from my meds I take and forget things.

Good afternoon. I hope you are doing well. My family is on the upside of the virus now.
I flushed yesterday and she looks ok. Leaves are changing colors. I’m on week 11 and day 73 of flowering. It will probably be dry in a couple of days. Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom and molasses is on the sheet for nutrients now. I still have new buds growing. Let me know if you want me to feed or just water now. Have a great day.

Prayers for you and your family continued healing.
Just ph water from here on out. We will look at your tricones at the end of week 12.
Like I said we will put her in the dark maybe at the end of week 12 If your not looking for couch lock. I just need to see a few amber tricones to chop. What is the name strain of this plant again?

Greetings, brother.
Yeah I went back on our notes and found out thats what you said before. I looked up Northern lights autoflowers and they are all over the place for harvesting such as all sèed sites are. Basicly we need to see some yellowing or amber to show and it sounds like you still have some bud swelling going on before we chop.
Very soon my brother still looking at the end of week 12 maybe putting her in the dark.

Hi. The seeds are from Seed Connect in Tempe, AZ.
I don’t know anything about seed banks so I just picked them out of some on the web. So far so good 
I’ll continue to follow your directions! I’m inquisitive too…
Why do you stop nutrients and use ph’d water only at this point? Is it to cleanse the plant of toxins or something else? According to my chart I would feed nutrients 2 to 3 more times by the end of week 12. I will not do this. You said ph’d water only. Thank you!

Greetings, brother.
You have plenty of nutrients left in the soil. Instead of flushing one more time just feeding ph water will flush and let the plant to use up its remaining nutrients in the plant and the soil.
The need to get information on your seed is just a guide line of what othets have experienced but is nowhere accurate to use. The only means to know if they are ready for harvesting is reading the tricones.
Seed companies always say fastest growing or a certain THC level is just a guide line to get you to buy.

Now if you want to be couch locked we will feed up to week 12 or beyond. But we are shooting for no couch lock but maybe a little. Meaning as soon as a few amber tricones show up you need to harvest.
On the feeding it is up to you as to proceed by the chart. We can keep feeding up thru week 12 and do a flush after week 12 feeding drys up. Not using up the nutrients in the plant and soil. After the flush you must wait for it to dry entirely before putting it in the dark.
This is your plant you have to make decisions from what you see up close. Don’t worry you can’t hurt it at this time unless you waited for all of the tricones to be amber, then your THC is depleted almost entirely. That would be around week 16 guessing.
I suggest you do some reading on when to harvest and you read your tricones this is how we all learn.

Let me know what you decide after reading.

I think I’m close but I’m unsure since this is my first time. I ph water only yesterday. From what I read you should harvest after 7 days of the last flush. My sugar leaves are yellowing as you can see.
Please let me know your opinion. Thank you.

Greetings, brother.
Did you read the information I sent you?
If you read it it would have explained that sugar leaves turn yellow first. From what you have is ok since you don’t want a couch lock high. For most people they would wait.
If you want to harvest make sure your soil is dry.
Next turn off your light for 48 hours. Keep carbon fan on .
Next cut off all of the fan leaves after 48 hours.
Cut each limb off and hang in the dark with the carbon fan in the ceiling on. Open the bottom vent. Make sure no air is blowing directly on the buds. Set the room at 60 degrees and 60 precent humidity. Or as close as you can for 7 to 10 days.
Usings the moisture meter I suggested you to buy let them dry to 12% moisture by measurements with one tip of the meter in the stem and one into the center of the bud.
When you get 12% buck off your buds into the big grove bage you bought and did not return or a large container with space at the top of 25% and a lid with a moisture meter inside and the boveda packet I suggested you to buy which was a 62% packet.
Every day take out the meter and packet see if the meter is 62% if higher leave the bag opened for 30 minutes. Do thia a couple times a day. Do this for until the meter is stable at 62% for three days straight.
When stable put into the grove bags weighted out to 1 ounce for one ounce bags.
After 2 weeks they are cured.
Enjoy.
I am not going to be available because of my surgery coming up. I will try to be in contact.

Greetings, brother.
The big fan leaves turn yellow as age and harvest time nears.
Tricones as I said turn yellow or amber on sugar leaves first. If you read the information I set it tells you this not where you judge for couch lock, but on the caylaxes and about 20 to 30 precent.
I forgot if you can’t reach me but I will try, reach out to @Mmanson1981 for help he is a good man. I am entering my surgery time and will be in and out until middle of March.
The same site I set up on harvesting will tell you how to dry as well. Prayers for you and your family. Take care buddy, I will try if I can.
