Wish someone made a sticky thread on it!Thats a good question budlight! im always wondering the same thing i normaly do it around week 6 cause most indicas are suppost to be 8 weeks but some times i think its to late some times i think its to early!
Thats is a nice looking strain tight long nugs can't wait to see them buds ripe.Here is mine bagseed sativa 1 plant under 150w hps, day 34 in flower.
Comments welcome
When should i start flushing?
Hey JC thanks for the reply this pk was from dispencery clone so you just realy never know if they are selling you what the lable says"!! but its sure not purple as of now lol but i plan on flushing with cold water to help bring on the purple. it also is lacking major triches devolpment i kinda think its cause we used techna flora on this strain instead of some higher rated nutes but the pk clone is going into the new cab as soon as i harvest this bush in a few more weeks and im going to load it up with advanced nutrients this run and see if that helps the triches and smell.here is SFV and PK at day 34. my SCrOG screen fell apart, so i decided to take it out, i am deciding if i need extra support for the ladies. they look pretty strong though.
what do you guys suggest?

looking really nice, nugs are filling out quite nicely. this lady is in a smaller pot so she pretty far from the 150 but looks to be doing just fine. i really dont know how long this strain flowers for , by the looks of it , 10-11 weeks.. once again, if anyone knows , help is appreciated!

Thanks for the idea pipedream i was always told if you didnt flush it would load up full of harsh smoke and burn in a bad way. but im guessing when the hairs all start changing its becuse the stems have went hallow and they cant take any nutes anyways?
Here's my standard mantra on flushing....
If a plant is finishing on her own in the proper time frame, I don't bother to flush it.
If she seems to be lagging behind a bit, and I need to expedite the final week or two of gland production and color change, I'll move her over to H2O only with no nutes.
Here's the reasoning.....
When a plant is in the last stages of flowering, one of it's natural processes is to stop the uptake of nutrients. This change in chemistry signals the plant to complete it's seeding process. While most of our plants are not allowed to produce seeds, the same signal tells the plant to stop actively producing THC within it's glands. As a result the existing glands start to decay and turn amber. Yes, those amber trichs we all so seek are in fact decayed. By flushing all available nutrients, the plant is fooled into “thinking” its in the last stage of life. As such, you force the plant into it's final phase and can expedite the process of changing clear trichs to a rich brown hue. Of course, not everyone desires amber. Those that desire less of a narcotic couch-lock high will want a higher percentage of clear glands.
Likely doesn't directly answer your question, but maybe offer up a drop of food for thought.
Makes alotta sense. Thanks for explaining simply.
