my plant are about a month into flowering and looking pretty nice there not really gettin any taller, can anyone tell me when to start flushing my plants for harvest, is flushing just cutting out the nutes or do you use more water than you usually would.
i can post pics for you guys if you want pics of how far along my buds are just let me know.
when i harvest i hang my plants upside down for about a week or 2 then put them in glass jars, should i follow this method or does someone have a better one that will make my buds better:joint:

POST SOME PICS: + READ THIS " HOW TO FLUSH UR PLANT"
Hanging ur plants for that long is good..aslong as there in a good area....id trim the buds beofre hanging them

here is the PROPER way to flush: Use plain water...using this leaches out extra nutrients salts for better tasting pot. U will notice as u flush the excess salts fan leaves will get lighter (yellow) ...
Add enough fresh water to tottally saturate the medium. Once medium is soaked ..wait 5 minutes to allow fresh water to dissolve the leftover nutes....
Once the first dose has fully dissolved those unused nutes..its time to add the second and final dose in the flushing process...Second dose should be equal to the physical volume of the container ur growing in.....For Ex. if ur growing in 1 gallon bucket ...u want to add atleast 1 gallon of fresh water for the second dose....the more the better during the second dose- within reason-.......doing the flush in this 2 step process further dissolves ALL excess nutrients salts...same idea as stepping a tea bag...the longer u let it sit in the water the more the tea will take from the bag!.....If ur flushing a soil medium consider this`~.....Organic soils are the food for the plant, so you can never really get rid of all the nutes away from ur plants root system......soo ull need to time things carefully..flush within 24 hours of harvest...u need to harvest when roots are still in fresh water ..For Ex. if we flush than wait for a few days to harvest the roots will have enuff time to begin feeding the plant again...generally 2 weeks of flushing is going to provide thorough a flush as you can expect...if ur plants leaves are all ready yellow from lack of nitrogen..theres no need to flush for 2 weeks ..but if ur plant is fulll in life nd still green flush for 2-weeks....ALWays harvest in the dark at the end of 12 hour night cycle..u do this because the plant is pulling up nutes when the lights are on...when flushing take off a branch taste the liquid coming out the end of the branch..if its bitter its not ready for harvest..but if it tastes clean almost like water than ur ready for harvest...IF U FOLLOW THESE STEPS CAREFULY UL HAVE GOOD TASTING POT ND AN EVEN BETTER HIGH>>>>HAPPY SMOKIN

in the final week use clear x or final phase, after 5 days of that use just
water for 4 days then cut, the final week will show its self by the way the
plant looks.

here's my buds sorry if the pics aren't that great but if you guys can let me know about how much longer that would be sweet. I've already started to flush them but if its to early ill start giving them molasses again.
Thanks for the advice
PEACE
p.s those are 2 different buds from 2 different plants
