Harvest, should i start flushing ?

First time grower and I m finding it hard to distinguish exactly how i m doing, but i think the past couple of days my trichomes are starting to change for milky. What do you think based on the following pics ? What do you think the ratio of clear-cloudy are on each pic ? These are from 3 different supercritical auto plants on day 65 from sprout. I m planning to harvest the main colas first and let more light through since the lower buds are still forming. I m growing on coco and thinking of flashing for 3-4days. My aim is to get mostly a head high. Would a mixture of enzymes with brown sugar/honey be a good idea ? I cant get molasses anywhere around here.

I would only do the molasses if you think it would be good for the soil, like if you also gave it a ACT tea. Otherwise I think you probably have a week or so. I did an EWC tea and then just water and molasses for the last week to make sure she got all the nutrients she wanted. This next week can really pack on some weight.

Feed stores....I think they use it to slop pigs but not sure why stores that specialize in farm animal food have bulk molasses..exactly the same look as the stuff they sell at nurserys.

I managed to find some organic ones. Is it a good idea to give them up until chop ?

Molasses is to feed the bacteria in the soil. If you havent been really cultivating a "living soil" and growing organically, I wouldnt bother.

Those plants are a couple weeks from done. I would just cut down on the feeding and give them plain water for the last few waterings.,

If you want a specific high, get a strain that is know for that type of high. Harvesting early is not the way to manipulate the high.

Agree completely, though you may have a slightly "up" high earlier, this will go away as it cures, however the smaller yield you pulled will go on forever (i.e.: you got less).
