Here we are in the home stretch. The final 2 weeks or there-about. I mixed up a new batch of nutes on Sunday, Day 43. I calculated a little less than normal to account for the final few days of flushing next week.
There was a big defoliation on Wed, Day 46. I got rid of all the really big fan leaves and made sure there was clear space in-between the lower buds to make sure light was getting through to make sure everything ripened and got air-flow This was also the day that I turned off the CO2.
Day 47 I switched my light to the "Late Flower" setting, which lowers the Red light down to about 75%. (Probably should have done that at the beginning of the week)
@Samson420, hey!
I didnt see you were growing in coco! I've seen little higher ph for flowering tho, thats why i asked 😋.
Ive done that u mention, flushing with regular water and finish with 1 liter of correct PH, I also add "atazyme" or similar in that liter!
All seems fantastic so good luck finishing'em up!! I keep an eye on your grow 🙏
@Highclass, Thanks Dude. Much appreciated.
It's something that I read in the Grow Pot Cheaply book and I've seen it mentioned recently in a few videos that I have watched
The way that I understood the information...because I was feeding the entire grow to ph 5.8 I want to flush with 5.8 as well because I don't want to change the ph of of my substrate and wind up shocking the girls' system. What I read and heard was actually: Flush out your plants with 3 times the amount of water as the size of your pot. 5 gal pot = flush with 15 gallons of water (at one time). Non-PHed water is fine, tap water is fine...as long as the last gallon of water is PH correctly so it stays in your "soil" and keeps the PH that you had throughout your grow.
...but I had screwed that up anyway when I shorted myself on nutrients for the week and had to change up my game.
My last 2 grows I flushed with regular distilled water that has a normal PH of 7.1, and I think the girls finished up well and everyone agreed that they tasted great...so I'll see if flushing to 5.8 produced any noticeable results and let you know.
