Hi!

So I'm at the end of flowering with 1 plant, and a few more weeks to go with 3 others, and I was wondering if enough % of hairs are brown for you(in the one at the end), to suggest I start 1 or 2 week flush...

''The one at the end''

The rest of the ''herd''.

And some nutrient is being locked out, pH of soil is 6, fertilizing with Hesi bloom pH 6.2, RH=40-50%, T=23-31°C(when it's very hot even outside the tent).

So...when to harvest ''the one at the end''?

You sure you dont have mites/thrips?

Not sure, 2 weeks ago I noticed a string(like a spider was starting a family) on one of the plants, and I just wiped it off, no strings since then.
A few days ago, I noticed 1 out of 5 leafs(in a branch) looked like it was eaten half way...but mites can't eat that much(if they even eat) or?

Correction...another string found yesterday...Now I am beginning to think you might be right... Know of a good bug spray that you were happy with you could recommend?
 
ID just keep pulling off the webs n killing the mites by wiping them off the fan leaves when seen....i think ya abit to far into flowering to start spraying with pest sprays but someone mmight know of a better way to deal with em.....

oh and dont cut ya buds look to me they all got a few weeks to go

good luck mate they looking good this far :)

Need to get yourself a loupe with about 40 or 50 power. Then you can see the tri-combs(sp?) and what color they are. Which will tell you how close to done you are.

this is good for you..

you need to learn when to chop by being 'aware'.. there are many signs as to when to chop

hair
swelling of calyx, or not swelling
water uptake
nutrient
smell
bottom leaf
stretch
trich production


you need to learn to develop a "feel" .. just pay attention, that's all that's required, notice changes day to day or week to week..... this is a far greater tool then replying on a tool you might lose / not have one day.. never trade your intuition / visual clues / awareness /feel.. for a man made tool

if you check on her everyday, you should know her pretty well... hahahaha




second, if that's whey protein, make sure your not using hormone treated stuff, and it has a low heavy metal count.. but obviously your choice at the end of the day

i can't see enough to tell about harvest but your close up leaf photo shows a plant that is too wet at the bottom of the roots. they are in standing water too long.

those spots on the leaf are symmetrical and that doesn't happen with pests.

Neem oil diluted down in a squirt bottle is a good mite killer. As far as trichs go I agree with the posted info,go buy a jewelers loupe(about 5 dollars) X30 is a good power. You want mostly cloudy but due to all trichs don't mature at the same rate, A good chop would be 10% clear 70%cloudy and 20%amber for a little couch lock...Happy Growing -SOHIGH-
