flush? defoliate?
DeadwebsiteBoringcommunityanswered grow question 4 years ago
You should not flush.. You should adjust your nutrients accordingly and not oversaturate your plants.. Flushing for 2 weeks does some really negative things to your plant. It breaks down stored nutrients and causes your plant to circulate more nasties to the bud sites.. It cuts out on terpene production and makes for a quicker finish and less weight.. Flushing for a few days before harvest sure that makes sense.. 2-3 weeks is much too long and you will absolutely negatively affect your plant.

Not all plants are the same your far better to adapt your schedule and timing to what you see.. Learn to speak to the plants.. They talk to you through the foliage.

U can flush from 2 to one week before harvest, starting with a lot of water the first time to collect a lots of salts in the runoff. So you continue watering regularly until the end.
You can defoliate to leave the light reach all the buds to let them ripen all at the same ✌️🏽 Sorry for my english , hope to help 😊

You should flush for about 3 weeks before harvest and its best to leave defoliation out just to allow them to do a full flower with out any stress since they are autos

Defoliated 2 fan leaves - pre flowering! :(I've just removed 2 big fan leaves that were potential light blockers.
I've just read that defoliating when flowering can stress the plant and reduce yield.
The first pistels have appeared in the last few days and I only removed two leaves.
Is it likely I've ruined it?Techniques. Defoliation

Flower trimmingI've got several lower branches that aren't stretching high enough to get any good light, at what point during flower is it ok to get out the scissors? I think I might need to do a lil leaf trimming in the lower canopy as well. Could/should this be done at the same time? Thanks3 years ago

Defoliation of all large fan leavesWhen defoliating is it ok to remove all of the large fan leaves? I have read conflicting reports in some cases stating that it will stress the plants and even reduce yeild rather than increase?
Any links that include pics would be appreciated.

PH Tanking in Late Flower6 days ago, 350ppm constant but PH starting dropping hard. Did nutrient change and things stabilized for a bit at 250ppm. Yesterday, same thing occurring with PPM/PH. Roots are fine, PPM now at 200. Is she being underfed now at this stage of flower? Lower PPM more? Start flush?Week 10
