Flushing will work, but I don't think you need to go that far. Your pH isn't crazy low and flushing will suffocate the roots a bit and extend your recovery time, possibly hurting your final product.

Water with 7.0 water until its fixed. Using less nutes also helps in bringing the pH up as overfeeding is the main culprit for a low pH.

pH water to 6.3, and water it heavily. Wait awhile and let it dry out, do this 1 or 2 times. Or you can try flushing the soil with a lot of water but this risks overwatering the plant and washing out good nutrients and microorganisms

Has anyone ever tried "harvesting" the trichomes from the sugar leaves when the plant is still not ready? For instance wiping a rolling paper on some leaves and then rolling a cigarette with it? I did it and got high. Is it placebo effect? Will this affect plant growth?

Regrow on late flower What should I do in this situation? My flowers are very big but they are still growing. I think this is caused by the outside temperatures(30-35 degreesCelsius max in a day). While the other plant is everything alright because it stayed in a cooler spot. And when should I harvest
