End of Flowering: Week Eight+

The exact week, when you will get to harvest, is going to depend on what strain you have. The harvest window is normally about a week-long, and that the THC will start to turn into CBN, which isn’t as potent and causes you to feel sleepy. Close to the end of flowering, the pistils, on most strains, will turn orange. This lets you know that new buds are not being grown, and harvest time is getting close. The trichomes will switch from clear to milky as they increase the THC, and will start to change to an amber color, which tells you that the THC is degrading to CBN. Both of the phases tend to overlap a bit, but most growers think that plants reach the full potency when around five to 30 percent of the trichomes have turned amber in color and the rest are still milky.

You have to be careful at this point. They are super sensitive to all kinds of conditions at the end of the growing season. If they don’t have enough airflow, excess moisture can get trapped in the buds, which can cause them to rot, which will spread and destroy the rest of the harvest.

It is very common for a few buds to become heavier than what their branch can hold. You may have to make some support for them so that they remain upright. There are plenty of tools for this.

The end of the growing cycle will bring about the common “weed” smell. You should expect this to reach overpowering levels. Don’t be all that surprised if your visitors or neighbors start to ask you about the smells drifting out of your house. If you exhaust your air through a carbon filter can help to manage the odor.

Shortly before harvesting, you need to flush the plants. Flushing is simply when you stop giving your plants their nutrients and start giving them pH-appropriate water. You need to flush them for a couple of days to a week, depending on how long your plant’s flowering stage is and the growing medium you used. Soil tends to retain more nutrients than soilless mediums, so it is going to need a longer flush.

Flushing helps to give the plant a chance to use all the nutrients that you have in the system so that it doesn’t affect its smell and taste. Flushing also gets rid of salts that may have built up in the growing medium. Basically, it gives you one last chance to improve its quality.

The flowering stage is the most rewarding stage, and if you fully understand this process, the more you will be able to gain from it. There are five distinct parts to the flowering stage, each with their own needs and characteristics. Proper oversight of these stages helps to place you firmly on the path to having the biggest and most potent buds to harvest.

You also have to take into consideration the strain you are growing. There will be tweaks you will need to make, depending on what you are growing.
