Nope not ready. hairs are still white - check the trichomes. My hunch is they are just getting milky and no where near amber. 2 to 3 weeks is my guess

I thought that 30% white meant it was time to cut her down. Wish I had my loupe

They look nice gloria congratz i think its personal preference from this point remember you can always do a 2 part harvest if the bottoms are not ripe enough i have just done this myself

Will for sure have to do that but how do I go about the flush part if I’m still growing?

Wouldn't worry about flushing, waste of time. Do you have access to a good camera, or maybe a phone with good megapixel capabilities? If so you can get some real nice close up shots, and then put them on your computer. This is one alternative to get a good close look at the tricomes.

REALLY???? Flushing seems like a religion of sorts to most people from all the information I have read. Can you explain why it would be a waste of time? This is my first grow so I’m curious. I’m a knowledge seeker so I’m interested in your thoughts. I don’t have a computer (just a crappy chrome book...don’t buy one lol). I use my phone for everything.

I read a post about camera quality. If you click the home button 3 times on an iPhone you can get a pretty good close up but I can’t post it here because the file is too large

This thread here on AFN: https://www.autoflower.org/threads/flushing-the-myth-that-wont-die.56274/ explains the flushing myth better than I ever could. Give it a read, it can get a bit technical at times, but explains why flushing isn't needed. Cheers.

For each thread about not flushing you'll find another one about how-to-flush.
There's alot of contradictions on growing infos you'll find on the net...

Precisely that its confusing as you read multiple ways what to do and i ask myself who is right? personally i have been flushing all my friends who grow flush aswell.

As your in the aerogarden if you wanna flush just add phd water no nutes for a week or two.
I read before chop some people give cold water 24 hours before the cut.

I don’t have my jewellers loupe. It’s still in transit lol. I thought I’d be real smart and buy a magnifying glass at the good old dollar store....fail!!! I can’t tell if they are clear, milky or amber lol. These eyes just don’t cut it

Take close ups with your phone then expand the pictures. That works too to see the trichomes,
