Hi, I am including pics...I began this growth of feminized, auto-flowering AK47 on January 20th - that is when they sprouted. However, I kept them under a 250HPS light for 20 hours of light/4 off - 5 total plants - until approximately April 5-10? This made them grow taller, and they did not start the flowering period until I switched them to 12 hour light cycle, at that time...so, it is very close to being 8 weeks? I should have kept an exact date as I later learned these have almost an 8 week exact flowering time? This is my first crop - I think they ;look great! I do have a 30x microscope but am new at looking at Tromiculites? They have been eating Fox Farm series of nutrients and fertilizer. Should I begin flushing for the next two waterings - every 4 days? Take a look at the pics - advice on when to start flushing, change light cycle, harvesting, etc...thanks for your help in advance. I know how to cut fan leaves and dry bud - just need to know when to start flushing and expect harvest, and./or correctly look at tromiculites?
When flushing your plant, you have to tell yourself : Would i harvest them right now? Since your plant are clearly not ready. i would give them a week or 2 before flushing because it can hurt buds growth a lot. Time of flushing depends on your growing medium
