Lol sorry forget first grow @garrigan62 is a white widow master I’m going to redirect the flush to him I know it by monitoring my trichromes.
Got to head out for a couple of hrs, thanks again.
Flush can be simply watering straight no nutes for a couple weeks or rinsing media depends on nutes used and personal preferrences
Im also using rain water for water
Thats what I water with. Rain water only!
And Donald, thats is exactly how I flush my plants.
Only I double the water schedule.
Will
think he is wondering timeline too? when to start flush I do it by sight lol and can’t off top of my head remember flower time on WW also being lazy since you grow it regularly lmao
Oh ok…8-10 weeks. But count on as many as 12
Thats been my experience over 5 yr’s of growing W.W
But needs to keep checking the trichromes and look for amber then he’ll be ready.
Will
with the long veg of your plants and the light adjustments think just under 8 weeks till harvest
If not just under might go a little over 8 weeks and tip the 9 week period as garrigan said its 8-10 weeks and possibly even expect 12,
I have it on pretty good authority a light schedule like this should work well:
first 3 weeks 12 hours light and 12 dark
4th week 11.5/12.5
5th week 11/13
6th week 10.5/13.5
7th week 10/14
8 week 9.5/14.5 and then it should be done by the end of the 8th week
And so follow the booster schedule, but no booster the 8th week and only pH adjusted rainwater or otherwise zero/low EC/ppm water that last week.

That’s a great schedule mine is very similar to that, thumbs up to the light schedule
I didn’t mention and shoud have cause light does play a huge roll.
I had switched over from two 1000 watts HPS to two 400 watts HPS because of heat. I believe Stoner may remember that.
And that may very well why I went over the 8 weeks
Will
That schedule MacG posted is what I used at the end, but the last three days 72 hour’s I went total darkness
With all that yes I saw a major in crease in the size of my buds
Will
Yea I remember you mentioning something about switching from 1000 to the 400 hps
I personally do not like a full 72 hours, the last day of flower, when the lights go out, I leave them off for one full day and then harvest around the time the light would normally come on after that, so about 36 hours of darkness their last night.
~MacG
I’ll have to give that a shot
Great help, I also have 2 x fluro lights in the room, should I remove them now the red spectrum light is on?
Na, generally more light is better.
