I started a flush about 2-3 weeks back, because I thought it was close to harvest. Turns out she's taking longer than I anticipated. Should I restart nutrients, or keep it clean until harvest?

Hi mate,
I've done similar thing before, but theres no harm done in using water through to the finish. No point wasting nutrients now as she is very close and not far off. I'd rather a clean product than a nutrient filled one. At least now when she is ready by trichomes or which ever way you prefer to asses her, she will be ready without having to re flush. You're on track and don't worry. A big flush is better than no flush, plus some growers go from start to finish without any nutrients and still get a nice clean product. Hope this helps.

I agree with athos looks like it's still got plenty of nutes in her with how dark green the leaves are cookie strains hold on to a lot of n for some reason iv noticed it with all 3 of my gsc grows keep in flush she should finish well

I wouldn't start up again, but there are all natural alternatives that help with bulk ad flavor, like adding 2 tablespoons of molasses to each gallon of water. Being natural sugars which plants can use anyway, they dont have to be flushed out the way regular nutrients do.
Plants look amazing well done.

Add enzymes to the PH'ed flush water (fore example Plagron Pure-Zym ), it will help absorb the nutes that remain in the soil and you don't have to add new ones. good luck

Keep it clean, besides by the color of the foliage, the plant has an excess off nutes. At this point the plant does not need anything more

Never start nutrients again in the flush , she will taste better, my friend does a three week flush , also humidity is VERY IMPORTANT , 65% in veg , 50% in flower , but if you have high temperatures, you must increase the humidity 👍

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds?
Should i clean up the leaves as well?

Cutting or not cuttingHi everyone,
I’m not used to defoliation and I wanted to know if I should remove the yellowing leaves from my plant. I read lots of things with different kind of view so I’m at loss. The leaves are nutrient so why remove them?
Thank you

Defoliation after LST (week 5)After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?Week 4

Should I do defoliation ? Hulk Berry Auto - 5th WeekHi guys !
My plant is growing so far so good but I feel like she could gain a little bit more height and I could end with a better result with bigger yield if I cut some of the small leaves in the bottom of the plant
Any advice ?
Where should I cut ?

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.4 years ago

Cut leaves off?She is a auto. About 62 days in. Just started to show a few white hairs yesterday. Should I cut some leaves off and open her up for more light and air? Getting tight in my tent. If so, should I do it at night? In the morning or does it matter?
Thanks.

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?
