Hows it look

Ending Questions: (if someone could answer these Would really apprciate it)

1. How should I go about finishing up with the plant?


2. Best Way to Flush the plant?, or easiest with the least mess everywhere


3.I was examining and turning a little bit of the soil on top, and noticed these little tiny tiny red bugs, not a crazy amount but 1-3 in my eyes view, and not on the plant or leaves or bud, only in the soil, so tiny I couldn't even focus the camera to even get a picture, best way I could describe one would be a very tiny red ant, didn't look much like a spider.

1. When plants are done they look "done", a lot of newer ppl will go by the percentage of red hairs, dont ever go by that i know its a "standard" but a bad one at that. I only say that because if you folliar feed you plants of theres problems with them while flowering they will get red hairs especially with sprays. Some ppl might not have that issue but different strokes for different folks. What works for me might not for you theres many variables at play. Look at these pics they are of the same bud (thx fdd for the pics miss ya bud)


not ready..........





ready.......





2. PH'd water only for the last 1-2 weeks (growers have their own preference, i'd say at least a week and a half.) Thats the last couple weeks of harvest. Absolutly NO NUTES when you flush!! If you flush improperly you bud wont burn, it'll spark wont taste very good. Also in geneneral when you water you want to see at least 10% runoff water go through the pot, that way you know you watered enough.

3.Well, this point and time since the buds are close to being done you really cant spray insecticide on the plant (there are some kinds you can but dont worry about it). IMO bud start flushing for a week and call it a grow. It was a learning experience for ya and you did learn. Now your here with us rdy and willing to help any way we can. Before you start your new grow clean the area in your grow area, mix some bleach spray the walls etc..

If its just a couple of em dont worry about getting all excited with tobacco water and what not. Just clean , and always keep it clean!!!!

JK you made a few mistakes and took a couple risks, now you know not to take shortcuts and to research w/e you can. Sry if i sounded a bit blunt and abrasive, you will see thats just me bud. I'm actually very nice and helpful

Welcome to RIU, so whats gonna be your next move bud? We can tell ya what to do all day but ultimately its your decision

this is just what i do for a flush
i stick it in the shower and get another bucket and put 2-3 times the amount of water 5 gals of dirt put atleast 10 gals of water its easy
i just put a little in every 10 mins or so it doesnt have to be perfect
it depends on how much i had to feed it up until now

do you have a magnifying glass ?
the little crystals/sugars
most harvest when the sugars look about 50% brown
bright white lights help when trying to view led or really white cfl
i have a white/blue led flashlight that i use

and you could just run advanced nutrients
or another one that buffers ph for you

just FYI bottled water isnt always the best choice
it is ph'd for human consumption which from what i understand is a little different then the ph needed for cannabis


with the lights you have you could honestly probably do better in a smaller container
your plant would stay compact and your lights would be closer together


this is just my opinion
good luck with your next one cause from the pics this one looks baked

the bugs tend to show up towards the end
but you have to think that all those bloom boosters your using are mostly cane sugar or molasses
