ok just like the title says.. im interested to hear what everyone has to say about the last 2-3 weeks of flower...

so what do you do ? Flush? FeeD? ???

anyways here it goes

so far I have been flushing for 2 weeks... but since I prefer my buds closer to being 25-30% amber trichs.. the last 2 weeks or so is usually after the last push of swellage...

anyone have a great method that helps with harvest WEIGHT?

:thank you:

I think the only way you're really going to increase harvest weight is not to flush and keep feeding. In my opinion this is not worth it. You might be happy with it when you harvest and see how much you have. But that will change really quickly when you smoke your product. I don't think the gain in weight is worth what you give up in quality. But if the only thing you are looking for is more weight. Then you can harvest more weight if you feed all the way up to harvest. But again, this is something that I myself would not recommend if you care at all about quality.

A great way to increase your harvest is not to stress your plants at all during their life. Except possibly minor intentional stress in flowering. A small amount of stress has been shown to increase potency, but it will not increase yield. Usually water deprivation stress will be used because it has the least risk of damage. But any form of stress works. You can go into your grow room and start beating the shit out of your plants and it will do the same thing. But most growers who use this technique use the water stress because it's less risky than the grow room boxing. The point is, any stress will work, just as long as you don't totally kill the plant. When I say an increase in potency, I'm talking a very slight increase. This can help with potency slightly, but as for weight. I don't think that there is anything magic you can do to increase weight. Otherwise we would all be doing it.

If you would have added a bloom enhancer say like beastie blooms ,fat flower you'd have more weight .You're at the end there is nothing else you can do. I wouldn't recommend feeding until the end it will fuck up your weed is harsh on the inhale

I use cinder in the bottom of the pot and mixed in soil, seems to help later on with feeding and the flush, 1 week flush, soil is root greenlite 2/3s and FFOF.. Dries out really well
