hey boys its my first grow and wanted to double check if she is right to start flushing, i'm planning to let her go 1 more weeks ones i flush here are some pics

she is 9 weeks flower tomorow my plan was to let her go till 10 weeks befor i chop her oh yeah she is a dutshpassion blueberry and soposed to be a 8 week flower but alot of growers that have grown blueberry would recommend her as a 10 weeks flower

and one more thing i hear some growers chop the top part of the plant and let the bottem go for abit longer, is that posible to do?

thanks for any help boys!!!

yeah you can chop the parts that are ready and leave the rest. thats a tall ass Blueberry how long did you veg her for? my shit stayed pretty short with a little stretch..

edit: oh and to answer your original question you usually start flushing around the last few weeks in soil

veg'd her for 8 weeks toped and lst'd her she is in a 15L, in canna coco. the flush in canna coco takes 4-7 days and then i can chop her. so if i chop the top part of befor the bottem will it effeckt the growth of the plant or any thing? because i tought choping the top part off will stress the hole plant, wont that make her stop growing or something?

Yes it can

Depending upon how seeded himshe is the bud could be full of seeds which means picking them out.

Out of curiousity was this a fem'd seed?

And did she get put under any stress?

I dont use canna coco i use atami B'cuzz coco.

But i used to perform 2 flushes over the course of around 8 days and allow dry out in between.

I have switched nutes to canna and have been following their feeding schedule this time but just using A and B with PK1314 no rhizotonic of zym or boost. ANd as i am following their schedule when i flush this time i will be just watering with plain pH'd water for 2 weeks with a bit of molasses added into it. BUt i use molasses all the way through to help feed my rhizosphere.

Nope and i dont really the see the point in it either.

IF its ready it all comes down regardless of whether the under buds arent as developed as the top colas. Space is at a premium in my garden lol.

So the plant wont waste energy repairing your butchery skills??????

Hmmm bit odd that if you ask me.

The only thing that could possibly happen is shock to help it ripen faster. Bud growth would have probably ceased. I personally choose to harvest when MOST of the plant is done and popcorn etc is still good smoke!

In my experience, the gain from lower buds going longer after taking the tops down wasn't worth the lost time in a new veg cycle if turnover is a concern, especially when some of that time is used on repairs and shock recovery.
I would rather use the time wasted doing that on cleaning my room and equipment, then starting a new batch as soon as possible.

That being said, nice looking plants. Looks they should be nice and flushed out, probably be smooth smoke. :weed:
