Hey man I like to do a 7-10 day flush.

Also for my flush I don't dump gallons of water through I go a bit more heavy with the water then a regular watering just with zero Nutes. Once your leafs start to yellow and just sort of fall off with you giving a tiny tug then you know your getting a good flush.

As of a dark period some people believe 24-48 hours of darkness will stress the plant some and produce more Trichomes.

By the way they look good man

if I do a dark period do I still water?,and my 3 plant,there sugar leaves on the main cola are yellowing pretty fast,one or two leaves look dry,I'm on day 6 of flush,should I stop?and move to dark period or one more day?

I wouldn`t, cos I prefer to let my pots dry out before I harvest. I find that it helps when drying. I try to time the chop to when they would normally need a water/feed(so the pots are pretty light). I`m not under lights atm though...

Can you wait till the morning? Most reckon thc is higher in the morning! Trimming...I trim my girls in the pot (to remove the fan leaves etc). Some hang the whole girl...I trim to golf ball size nugs and `brown paper bag` em( or shoe box with plenty of air holes for ventilation.Then a nice dark place with a `draught/air movement. As far as humidity goes, I don`t have a dedicated grow room atm, cos I`m growing `eau natural` lol. Basically you give up a day for every 10% humidity (i.e. 70% = 7 days + one for luck!). Get some `Kilner jars`, some 62% boveda/humidi-packs and chuck a $5 humidity meter offa Amazon/ebay in with the buds . Keep a check on the Humidty for a week or two and burp the jar(or leave the lid open if above 75%) regulary. Once the humidity level reaches 70% approx, chuck a 62% humidi pack in the jar, keep an eye on them and when they get to 60-65% you can stop burping the jar and let the pack do its` job. You still need to burp the jar but just once a week. You want the nugs to settle at between 55-65% for a good cure imho (60ish is just about right for me.) Oh, get yourself some trimming secauters, makes life much easier (check your local/online hydro shop for trimming tools!). I know it all seems a pain in the arse (after all the effort that you put into the grow...but, it`s worth it!). If you spent a load of time and effort growing, then you want a `fine` product at the of the process. Once you`ve tasted well cured bud, y` wont want to go back to the moody street gear again (and if you have too, you`ll notice the difference f`sure...like comparing Bollinger with prosecco...one is class and one is just another fizzy wine for the masses! ...no offence intended to anyone, we all enjoy different tastes! I`m fed up typing now so if y`want any other info, use the search function...i`m pretty sure there`s a tutorial on site somewhere...

I always trim wet and then brown bag for 5-7 days. Like @krug said get some trimmers that you like. I prefer the curved type.

First I reomove fan leaves. Then I clip off a branch. Trim to the frost line and set aside. I do this to the whole plant. Then I I take the branches I've set aside and trim off most the sugar leaves, into a container, til it looks shaggy. (See attachment)

Clip the buds into a brown bag and hang for 5-7 days. I place dry feeling buds in a jar and seal in a hygrometer.Check it in 6-12 hours. If the humidity is above 70% I put buds back in a brown bag for 12-24 more hours. Check same way again til they reach 70%. Then they are jarred and burbed for 4-6 hrs a day til the settle at about 55-60% then I put in a boveda pack and only check once a week. It takes some practice to get the feel for the rhythm of your environment.

I leave the buds shaggy cause it protects the trichs. And helps with the slower curing process. Hers a pic of a shaggy bud I did last night.

Here's what the same bud looked like befor the final trim.
