Hey here are a few pictures of this plant i have been growing under a 400w hps for approx 11/12 weeks. Can anybody tell if they are done yet? Trichs seem to be cloudy.. will they swell up any more?

Also when do i start flushing and when do i stop watering before harvest?
Im going for a head kinda high aswell.

Let me know how much longer i may have to wait before i can finally pull her?
thanks

Few more... The leaves seem to be dying off aswell... may be heat stress because somehow the temps hav been raising to 90!
Either that or its draining energy from the leaves for the buds..

Its been 11 days since i created this post and since then about 80 percent of the hairs have turned brown.. So tempted to pull it out but still have not got a microscope strong enough to see the trichs.. although im quite certain it has passed the cloudy stage and begun to turn amber i will try to get a few piks for you soon so you can give your opinions...

to answer your question i dont think got answered you want to starting flushing nutes out about 7-10 days before harvest... i personally flush the medium with 2x the water as the size of the pot (so a 3 gallon pot would get flushed with 6 gallons of water) everyday for that time.... make sure htey can drain very very very well obviously.... if you want to let them dry start drying out before you harvest flush for 5-7 days and let go for an extra 3 days to use up some water left over in the pots... either way... but i'd start flushing now... it looks like your harvesting soon... buds look nice tho... 3rd week into my crystales flowering... cant wait till they are done... been out for a minute.. i need to learn to ration my stash a little better between harvests.. lol

dont rush the drying process btw... youve waited this long... give it 5 -7 days to dry slowly and youll be much happier with your smoke than if you rush the drying process just to have some smoke... itll be much tastier... much smoother... and youll be soooo much happier with your final product
