moving into flower now using two mars hydro ts600 light and grow tent and new plants , im just doing what i think any old plant would need pruning wise
Dr. Bruce Bugbee did a great talk about flushing a while back. They have found that you’re actually doing a negative effect in what you are trying to achieve by flushing. The final weeks are very important to the ripening of the Trichomes and if you starve the plant the nutrients to development those then you loose some potency and quality.
The breakdown of chlorophyl happens extremely fast so the thought of keeping the plant starved the last two weeks will help but it has been proven wrong. A good cure after dry is the best and all that breakdown will happen the same regardless of a flush or not.
I reserve a good flush to correct any issues I would be having in my medium. It’s a good way to “flush” out anything causing issues and resetting.
Now if you want to feed the last week or two with just pH balanced water that is different than flushing. I always feed straight pH balanced water the last week since my plants are pretty much done requiring much nutrients at that point and any they need will be taken from what little is left in the soil and or plant material.
I hope this helps.
No.
You still have at least 4 weeks to go........breeders descriptions are nowhere near reality.
Once your plant has about 95% brown pistils is when "flushing" should be considered and then harvest 2-3 weeks later when the plant has 98-99% brown pistils.
"Flushing" does not mean pouring gallons and gallons of water through the potter, just stop all fertilizers for the final 2 weeks before harvest and the plant will "flush" itself of any nutrient salts naturally.
I think this plant had a very slow start and I t the light was to low causing Bush up so I over pruned or left to many stems on
,pot size lol I don't know
But
Its my first plant with a ghetto start in life can't be bad
I'm all digital now with WiFi plugs and sensors also fully filtered because it really started to pong
I also put one outside at the same time that's in photos smells very wild and minty
Quite possibly too close to the light. If it is feeling crispy and showing some signs of burnt edges then that would be sure sign of being too close.
Also, it does appear like you might be getting a slight Fox Tail on the top which is another sign of being too close.
This happened to me a few weeks before harvest and my pure laziness just forgot to raise the lights after I set them after the stretch and it still grew a few inches. Top was getting well over 1000 PPFD.
Raise the light or turn it down a notch.
Hope this helps.
