Stop teasing!! xD
Great work!!
Bro you have no idea I'm waiting for these to be done ha ha ha. It is fun tho.
For my people using soil. How do you go about flushing???? Thanks in advance.
Only reason to flush is to remove excess nutes from the soil. I taper my feeds down in strength during ripening as the plants need less.
Plants dont grow on a schedule. They shouldnt be forced to follow one. Give what they need until they are finished is my feeling.
Ok I get what your saying. So last time i feed i check run off was at 1220 ppm and other plant i checked was not far behind. I guess this is hard for me being as this is my first grow. And have read to flush and other things I read say they dont need a flush. Guess I'll go with the flow. They leaves still look nice and green so they ok I guess.Only reason to flush is to remove excess nutes from the soil. I taper my feeds down in strength during ripening as the plants need less.

Ok maybe flush was not the right word to use. I've read when your close to just give water that has been ph'd for the remaining time cause the plants will use what's left in the leaves. And that should give the end result a better taste and flavor. The plant won't have all kinds of nutes and salts. If this is wrong I apologize I have nothing to go off of. If this has been asked a million times by us new guys I also apologize. I'm just trying to figure the best steps to take to get the best buds is all.

10 4 I get that part. And thanks for the response. So what I am going for and again this is all stuff I have read so how good the info is I have no idea. But plan is to get whites hairs down as much as possible. Going for about 70% of hairs to be a dark color and no longer white. Also want a my trichomes to be milky and cloudy. That's the goal I cam up with from what I've seen. Also figure when they get chopped they still ripen a lil so some of the trichomes may turn a amber color but not many. If I understand they loose thc at that point and are more cbn. These are for the wife so I want to get it right to help her with pain and inflammation stuff like that.It's all good. I saw a lot of white hairs which suggests to me your plants are still growing. You're at the end, they just are not done yet.
10 4 I figure that was to high. From my understanding if I am putting a (x) amount and getting a bigger number then feeding a few things are happening like them not eating their nutes based on the environment I have them in or am over feeding and not giving them enough time to use the food I have given which kinda goes back to the previous statement. But will definitely try and bring my numbers down for sure.1220 ppm is high. I try to taper them down to under 1.0 ec (500ppm) before the last week. I am basically water only at the end. 300-500ppm max runoff before chop. And most are still green and growing at those numbers.
Ok I understand get the ec lower. And that is where I become confused and it's not your guys fault it's my own for just jumping into growing. But when you say for the beginning of ripening it's fair to say I am not their yet correct because I still have many white hair so my buds are still stacking.I know you meant water only but honestly i would flush (leach) the pots untill you are closer to 1.4 (700ppm) for the beginning of ripening.
You can switch to water only but will they use enough of the excess nutes and are the nutes still complete in the medium? Plants dont use all of what we pour in every time. An imbalance remains.
The leaves will burn up with such high ec.

And the 2and part you touched I guess the only way I can answer that is I know the soil I used was good for 30 days that has come and passed. I added more soul to the pots cause I was able to see the roots up top. As far as your question imma guess no that's why you suggest lowering my ec and light feeding and slowly taper till read to chop.
10 4 thanks for breaking this down. I have really pretty nice looking lower leaves well not the big ass plant with the top funky leaves that i light stressed to hell lmao. But this is great info that someone as simple as me can follow. You know what's funny for my 4 plants all being all from the same bag the ugly one has matured was faster then the other. Thanks again.Ok the soil doesnt have a definite end nute date. Every plant can be different. We start feeding low amd work ip when we see a little yellowing at the bottom leaves or maybe a little thinner and less vibrant green on them or maybe curled lower tips and thickening darkening fan leaves. The first two are nitrogen and second iron or micro nutes. The third example is early calcium. Spots on upper leaves would follow.
This kind of observation is what we are going for.
But since it is your first one just flush down the nutes next watering to a reasonable range and feed a lower amount to ensure the full ratio of nutes are present. And when 3/4 of he white hairs have turned brown or orange then taper feed down or water only depending on how high the ec is.
Lol thanks bro. That's why I only posted a video and not the millions of pictures I normally post ha ha ha.View attachment 930701
I thought i told you once to stop teasing us? and here you are again.
Killing it bro, keep that shit going... dude youre soo so close.
Dude i love it, the buds are looking nice and see them filling out as u get closer to harvest. Look at page one of this grow. Tiny little babies, now here we are.Lol thanks bro. That's why I only posted a video and not the millions of pictures I normally post ha ha ha.
