Week was nice and quiet, just watching these girls get closer and closer to the finish line. Front right has been on Final Finish for a week now, looking like harvest for her will be in the next few days. Trichomes nice and cloudy with reds visible. Noticing some purple in the trichome stalk which is something I haven't seen before, but I have seen many others post pics similar so guessing maybe it's a strain thing? 🤷♀️.
Was the last week of nutrients for the other three girls. Pulled the valves this morning and gave the system a good flush before starting the Flawless Finish. To do this I empty and clean the reservoir then refill with water mixed with line cleaner, 8ml per liter to make sure she's nice and strong. Then I disconnect all the valve lines at the taps so that I can one by one flush the main feed lines. Then I reconnect the line to the valves one at a time, and pull the valve out of the tray and place in a dish. I think turn on the tap and flush the valve and its associated 12" line with the cleaner. Also take the time to give the valves a good wipe down, as they're a bit gunky (but still working fine) after 7 weeks of no cleaning. After repeating this on every valve I allow the lines to sit for about 15 minutes with cleaner in them. Then I dump the remaining res with cleaner then wipe down and refill with RO and Flawless Finish. I then disconnect the valve lines at the tap, flush the main feed line of the cleaner, replacing it with the fresh RO, and then reconnect the valve line and allow the trays to fill. Not something that has to be done, but I figure why not start the flush phase with the system being as clean as possible.
Final week or so now, lets get these girls to the finish line!
