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
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 👍
