sir_isOanswered grow question 4 years ago As braveheart says, you should flush your plant if you have excessive buildups...only then. You should strive to not grow to get excess buildups.
From what I can see, you don't have much of that, and in fact even some deficiencies/suboptimal balance (likely phosphorus related). But it's not major.
And the darkness thing is utterly pointless, unnatural stress with practically nil use. It's like, just let it grow as per usual, when you're gonna dry it, it's gonna be dark.
Imo it's like a mostly pointless "stasis" waste of 2 days.
Anyway, yeah, that plant looks about ready to me, but, I can't QUITE say.
Cheers.
