How fast do triches change?

[Guest]

Hey fellas and gals,
Just a quick ? I am a newbie so be kind please I am curious as to how fast triches go from cloudy to clear to amber kinda like a timeframe i guess. I am trying to decide whether to give my girls another shot of nutes before i flush. I want the best flush possible. but i also want to get a nice yield and dense bud. So at least 2 weeks in advance or so for flushing. I wish I could take those kick ass macro shots that the talented photohgraphers on this site take but anyhow a couple pics below at where I am at..............
trichs are pretty clear on all but the shaved lady read thread below for explanation. If this makes no sense i apoligize i have been enjoying some Orange Krush I recently aquired .

Once the calyxes start to swell you have about a two week window. I would not suggest flushing for the last two weeks but instead slowly ween them off the nutes. You do not want to starve your plants in the most crucial part of their lives. That would hurt yield greater than anything else. Only a proper dry and cure can correct any mistakes, flushing will not do a thing.

That is precisely my point. If you are not overfeeding in the first place then there is nothing extra in the soil for it to use up. Are you flushing them or just feeding them plain water? There is a diference. I have done it both ways and the plants I have fed til the end definitely weigh more.

very true i consider my flush plain PH'd normal watering for last 14 days, if there is anything left in soil plant will use it during this period. when i fert its every other watering after plants been in that soil 2 wks and only start at1/4 dossage and never more then 1/2 dossage for me.
no you didnt hurt the leaf when ya cut the tips they still grew right. as for quick dry i would mocrowave it place some ontop of your light it should dry 1-2 days n/p unless its popcorn buds then few hrs lol

Growing in soil I'll feed normally until harvest with maybe plain water the last time,I've never flushed soil and never saw a reason to.No reason to starve a growing organism in its last stages of life,I think the opposite is true.I dont speak for hydro cause that will taste crappy sometimes without flushing.

Start flushing it the last 10 days, especially if you are using chemical nutes.

Whats up DG. Try putting a couple of nuggs out in direct sunlight for a 1/2 to full day, depending on the size. Jus keep cking it, that won't be hard cus I know your anxious. Been there. For your pics.... they will look alot better bigger. when you posta pic, it comes out as letters & numbers... look in the letters for the word "thumb", plus a dash b4 it and delete. you'll delete 5 letters and a dash. BAM!! BIGGER PICS... try it. peace ...when you put the nuggs out, I used to use a black stone ashtry, it heated up quite a bit. Smoke will be harsh, but you can smoke it. It will get you high for a min. A lil' to much and you'll have a rageing headache..Sweet Tooth update comming peace

Imho, you should let the buds dry naturally, dont bother putting them in the microwave, ive learned by experience it really isnt worth it. Put some in a metal tobacco tin (without the lid) on top of your pc monitor (if crt obviously) or on your light like Maj said. It's worth the wait...

Thanks JoeSchmoe for the pic tip I used it on my grow diary it works it really makes the pics way biggggggerrrrrr i like it lol Thanks everyone who stopped by with the great info to experiment with if you think of anything more I will keep watching this thread

No prob DG, Next is playing w/ the camera.... or what also works is finding a good friend w/ a good camera. But messing w/ the settings on digital cameras helps alot too. Just keep it up. IT'S ALL GOOD! I will get anew camera soon. I want to get nominated for POTM, so's I can get some free seeds. Peace Remember trying is the funest part. I'm gonna keep tryin Sweet Tooth

 

[buzzed day]

wow to the above pics and it does make a difference to me.my friend grows the same plants as i do and his taste so much better then mine and we both cure fore a month or more but he always used water the last 2 wks. and i always gave chemicals tell the end,i don't do it that way for the last 2 grows and the taste is so much better in mine.just my opion. peace
