so...one of the big questions then now is....when to start flushing....or I suppose if to flush? though I am less suspect of that question....I am reasonably convinced onn the benefit of some flushing...so then how much and when....remember I have a 5 gal pot for the top44 and 2 gallon pots for the BigBud? all your info/feedback/criticism most appreciated as always!

I always like to flush twice.
Once at 4 weeks and once 2 weeks before i chop them down.
I only feed water and molasses in the last 2 weeks.
There are many many different opinions on flushing,when to and not flushing at all.
I prefer to flush.
This is something you will have to decide for yourself

I have never grown WW, but i've smoked a bunch of it. My brother has been buying weed from a neighbor of his for 30 years and he always grows WW and skunk...the WW he grows always smelled sort of musty...I once had a deja vu moment because it smelled like I remember my grandmothers basement smelling...hey man thanks....yea it does seem like it will mesh well.....and a good thing in that I orginally had expectations of a faster period of development for the clones, and it is good that they did not develop as I had thought theyu would....cuz then I woulda had a problem....but it really odes seem that it will possibly finish/begin as it looks now.....thanks fror dropping in.....
BTW - how would you describe the "smell" of WW.....I have heard/read a lot about this strain.....many highly positive......what does it smell like?

the more tpyical approach seems to be a 7-10-14 day passive drying....hanging and drying in a dark cool place with good air circumlation....and curing...it really depends on what you choose. I am still researching this so can't offer much in terms of specifics.....

welll just before lights out tonight went to take a peek.....and make an assessment of status. Really stinky....nice to know the the odour control is working. In one of my last posts I referenced that some had been recommended uping my feeding quantity and quaility...i did so...and now in the last 24-48 hour make note of ever so slight nute burn on the leaf tips. So as I had surmised, I was very close to the limit the girls can accommodate....and will now back off again ever so slightly......and really I am going to have to figure out when I am going to satart with my flush....or IF I flush....i have not made that determination at this stage...and I need to....

why wouldnt you flush?
I dont know about gurila growing here but in jamaica outdoors
we give water only at the in the 2nd week of the last month
depending on the heat it would get no water from the last week or week and a half
BTW
BS said you have a nice hash recipe for murdered males

I guess thats the question for me...why would I not....I have read both comments for and neutral to flushing? Until I do/don't I won't know.....
As posted previously.........good luck!
Put water in a blender. Add a large handful of leaves, stems, seeds and weak weed. Put it in 3 or 4 ice cubes and blend it for 3-4 minutes or so. Just make sure everything is chopped very finely. Second, you will need a gold reusable coffee filter (or 90-line silk screen). Get a large mouth quart mason jar, and strain your Slurpee mixture through it. Once you have strained all the liquid through, run some more water through the leaf material to wash any extra trichomes through.
After a few minutes you will notice a white collection at the bottom of the jar, this is the trichomes. Let the trichomes settle at the bottom for about 20-30 minutes. Next, pour off the top 2/3's of the filtered green water, leaving the settled trichomes at the bottom. Add more ice water to get the green stuff out, and let the trichomes settle at the bottom for about 20 minutes again. Repeat this step one more time. Pour off as much water as you can without pouring off trichomes, filter the resulting trichome/water mix through a paper coffee filter. The trichomes will not go through the paper, but the water will. When all the water has gone through, slightly wet, cold, mass of trichomes will be left. They will be easy to handle and to press.

The Alcohol Method
Take your stash (stems, seeds, weak weed) and place them in a covered pot, with enough alcohol to cover everything. Isopropyl alcohol is commonly available at pharmacies. Look for alcohol that is 99% pure. Denatured alcohol also works well. Sometimes isopropyl alcohol is called rubbing alcohol. Now carefully boil the mixture on an electric stove. Be careful: the alcohol is very flammable! After 45 minutes of heating you can strain the solids out, saving the alcohol. Now, repeat the process with the same residuals, but with fresh alcohol. When the second boil is over, remove the solids again, combine the two quantities of alcohol and boil again until you have a syrupy mixture. This syrupy mixture will contain much of the THC formerly hidden in the stash.

Making Cannabutter
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, then put a small amount of butter in the water. The butter melts, and mixes in with the water. Then put the grass or stash in
and boil it. Now all the grass will be riling around with the water and the butter. The THC dissolves into the butter. Stir the stuff regularly. After half an hour of cooking the grass, strain out the grass and stash and squeeze all the juice out of it, and put the liquid in the fridge.
A few hours later, the mixture is cold enough so that the cannabutter has solidified to the surface. It will look kind of scummy, but it's just enchanted butter. Scoop it out and retain it in a bowl or a jar. The cannabutter can be used just like butter, in brownies or cake.

I need some side lighting

I have not done this myself so I am unable to provide any meaningful feedback. from what I have seen you can get sometihng.....and the quality does of course mirror the quality of the source at the beginning.
Regarding the lighting, I am no electrician.....maybe the doityourselfers (HD, Lowes, Rona?) have some basic guidance - or even online do a search?
good luck and thanks for coming by, appreciate that!~

you can buy vanity light figures that come prewired all you have to do is buy the Y splitters and bulbs. Get these at Lowes, Walmart, Home Depot, etc
here's what I'm talking about
