I'm thinking that I'm realistically closer to week 7 than I am 6.. I've started watering to runoff more frequently, and now the White Widow's are showing more signs of burn. I'm thinking since I didn't mix any Perlite with the soil, it's made it more difficult to water to run off on a regular basis without over watering. Because of this, I feel like the nutes that I did add earlier in flower built up near the bottom of the pot. Now that I'm watering to run off more often, and the roots are go deeper, I feel like they're now getting all those nutes at once.. Maybe?
So, if I am indeed in week 7 of flower, is it too soon to think about flushing in the next 5-10 days??
Hi @Aw3sumpossum! Mold is one of the worst enemy when entering late flowering stage, but I see you're fine with your relative humidity. Pay attention to your feedings, you want to slow down on N and slightly increase P and K during the next weeks, it's easy to burn a flowering plant especially with Nitrogen. Otherwise you're doing absolutely fine, so keep up the great work and good luck until the finish line! Happy growing 👊
White Widow runoff water tests at 2440 PPM, but seems happy still and is only showing very slight signs of burning. This still seems extremely high, so I've backed off on feeding for now and watered with some Cal Mag. Should I wait for the PPM to drop or keep feeding her at 1/4?
She still looks happy, so i would keep it at 1/4 nutrients or less and see how she responds. If she continues to burn or shows any deficiences, then do a quick flush to reset the PPMs and the root zone. You could have a lockout issue if you start seeing a deficiency. Happy growing !!🍀🍀
I think I'm closer to week 7 of flower than I am 6, debating if I should flush.. The girls leaves are slowly burning down the sugar leaves closer to the bud, so I'm wondering if it's too early to flush.. Everything looks pretty good other than that, I think..
If your at the end of week 7 I'd start flushing. Depending on how aerated your soil is and how frequently you water you'll need at least a week to flush. Typically I aim for 2-3 water flush (PH at 6.2) with a runoff every time and my stuff burns white just like it should.
Those look absolutely beautiful!
Good to.see a cropking strain into full flowering!
I'm growing some strains by them also.
Cannot wait to see your harvest and end yield!!
Looking good ... Just got done harvesting a Northern Lights Auto & a AK-49 Auto myself. Currently growing a White widow also. I wish you the same success. Good luck with the rest of your grow👍👍👍

@Stick, thank you for the wise words. I'm definitely on the look out for mold, I've got a fan below the canopy now to help out with air flow down there!
As for the nutrients, I'm starting at 1/4 strength and only feeding every 2nd or 3rd watering to ease into things. I'd rather be conservative than over do it and endanger them!
Thanks for the input!
In a few sections of the canopy the leaves are starting to point upwards more than the rest, I've also got some burn spots on some of the leaves. I think the light my be too close, so I raised it about 2 inches. Hopefully this helps!
