It's all on personal preference. Some flush. Some don't. Some for a week. Some for 2 weeks. Some put the plant into 48 hrs of darkness before harvest....

It's all on what you want to do....

Peace

well i actually did a semi-flush 6 days ago, about 5 gals with a light dose of superthrive... would it be okay to take the plant longer if i wanted to?

Sorry SDT, I should have posted about your plant first....

Very Nice!!!! You should be able to tell if the Trichs are cloudy or amber by the naked eye unless you have poor eyesight. Not talkin crap, it's the truth...

I say take a good look at her and see if you can tell the trichs apart. I prefer to harvest when trichs are starting to turn amber....

Hope this helps.

+rep for that sweet lookin girl!!

those look finished.

is it pretty easy to tell when they turn amber?

I have excellent vision so for me, yes it is.

If you can drop 20 bucks, go to Radio Shack and pick up a hand held 60x-100x microscope. I have one. Comes in handy for other things on your plant.

Very nice nuggets + rep.

I see a plant that could be taken now...or taken in a week.I have the scopes but after several years of watching the trics....quite amazing I must say..... At certain angles & under cool white flourescent....you should be able to see trics and if watched every few hours, you should see a change in the "glisten" as they start to "hold" their reflection which is the cloudy state...you'll see the wave of glistens change; this will hapen during the days entering maturity..........quite unique to watch, even by eye once you've seen em for a while......second....watch as the calynx swell......third....hairs receding into the bud.......when all three will align in what you consider "mature"....take her ....

im also new... i thought that if you use a substantial amount of nutes...
you would need to flush for at least a week before harvest?

hey sour, nice lookin girls! i cant tell if they look done or not, but i saw that auldone suggested the radioshack scope. heres a link http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2179604
if u go pick one up, ask if u can take it out of the box and check it out. i think the lenses MAY get damaged during shipping. mine was fine though

Nice lookin Girls. Im gonna take a stab in the dark and guess that they are Jock Horror?
Only cause they look very close to mine and its a 10 week strain. I just began week 9 today and see very similar leaf deterioration and color change. I also have a microscope and almost ALL my trichs are still clear. Strange for this late but i figure they'll start coulding up and turning amber in the next two weeks.
