My ladies (ww and ak) are now 44 days into flowering one of the ak's looks ready and the rest are still not complete. The one that i think is ready is covered in clear tricomes that are standing strait up all over the buds. Is it time to start flushing my ebb for the next two weeks which would bring them to 60 days total flowering

wait until the trichomes get cloudy, then flush. That way the finished product will have amber trichomes, and the cannabis can be it most potent. Patience is one of the hardest parts of growing. Good luck.

I sure agonized over this part...

As the Grand Poobah said, and I'd add:

Wait until the calyx get really swollen and firmed up

Make sure more than 50% of the hairs have turned red / brown

I flush with water only. Sugars feed the soil..take time to break down...not the plant.
I like my cannabis to taste strain specific...not be artificially flavored.

thanks for the help grand. i will try using just water on some, and maybey some molasses on a few plants too. now when u flush them, for how long do you do so and when? do you constantly water them to drain them of fertilizers? thanks again!

I flush for 2 weeks. Water as normal (every other day). I flush when I see all cloudy trich. The two weeks let the plants get fully ripe.

I agree with GP just water for the flush.

The molasses I used (as well as SubCulture and Hygrozyme) were for water culture, not flushing or curing. These materials don't have much benefit or interaction with the plant growth
