I'm sure this question has been asked 94569456749 times, and I have been doing a lot of reading on my own. I read the "When to harvest autoflowers, your leaves will tell you" post in the new growers section, among various other articles. But I'm still not sure if these ladies are ready for me to stop nutes yet. Going to copy the post from my journal, I'm using Pro Mix HP CC (Soiless Mix, Sphagnum Peat, Chunk Coir, and Perlite).
Day 59
Okay, so I'm having some trouble deciding when to start the flush. Having quite a bit of trouble seeing the trichomes clearly with my 40x jeweler's loupe, but from what I can see they look like they're still mostly clear, couldn't pick out any cloudy trichomes in the ones that I could see clearly, and definitely not any amber. I was going to start flushing tomorrow, but thinking maybe I should feed for a few more days at least.
The smallest and biggest gals pistils I'd say are about 40% amber (they seem to be maturing faster than the medium sized ladies), the other two are 20-30% maybe less. But the colas are getting really, really fat. I'm no expert, but if I had to guess, I'd say just the main cola on the smallest gal would be around 1 Oz. dry right now, and two of her secondary colas are almost the same size. The main colas on the larger and medium sized gals are around 12-15" long and thicker than my forearm. The size is definitely there, just concerned about potency, since most of the trichs that I can see appear to be clear.
I took some pics of the smaller gal, since she seems to be the most mature, not sure how much that will help.
Also, I'm following Tang's Feeding Schedule, and he doesn't PH his flush water. But I'm wondering if I should PH Down a bit since my tap water is around 8-8.5 PH (it seems to vary). Not sure if that much of a PH swing in the last couple weeks will do any harm.
Dedoverde Haze is supposed to be a 70-80 day strain
