I’m currently on week 6 of flowering and still feeling nutrients. My question is not 1 pistil has turned brown yet and what week should they start changing colour?. How do I know when to stop nutrients and give the week of flush?

Growing in coco , have no idea of the strain or flower time for it either

She has a while to go yet. She will soon be turning amber in color and they will draw back. Then you can check trichomes.

You dont have to flush bro unless your giving them excessive nutrients.just reduce the feed toward the end .id say you have around 5 weeks to go so keep feeding them..

Looks good like said above another few weeks before you need to start looking...maybe 4 more until completely finished, they're just starting to bulk up..feed until the end just start cutting back a bit in another week - 10 days.

you still have planty of time left. Even if the hair colors are changed that doesn't mean that the flowers are ready.
You gonna want to get a microscope or a jewelry loupe to get some sort of ideas.

you dont normally flush max ? . i never did last run and no one complained. do your leaves normally turn yellow towards the end or do you just keep feeding ?. Im still running 1.4ec through them now - i did get up to 1.8ec at one stage but they started to burn the tips so backed it off.

think i could of even just ran it at 1.2ec and would of been enough

before harvesting. You check the flowers pistles and when you notice that they are getting ready than you start lowering the nutrients.

I usually do a hard dry back in week 7 going into week 8 until I start to see the leaves start to wilt. Of course, this depends on the flower time of the cultivar but usually around 3 weeks prior to expected harvest time. I notice it tends to make the flower more potent but that could just be wishful thinking/Broscience on my part. Dunno....just know that I did a comparison on 3 different hybrids and all tested higher in THC and CBD than the control plants that got watered on a regular schedule. Both used the same nutes.

What would that be in EC ? Around 1.0? And that’s your max you get up to in peak flowering ?

Hanna scale is that the 500 scale or 700 on the truncheon meter ? Maybe I need to run lighter notes next time. I got to 1.8ec and got burnt tips on this one . Mind you I probably had the sf4000 too close and wow it’s powerfull even at %80 intensity

Yeah I got the truncheon and blue lab ph pen. Can’t go wrong .

My outdoor 3 plants I’m using GH TRIO micro grow bloom and only feeding atm 0.8=1.0 now. Might do what you’ve done and go max up to 1.2 in flower . Less is more and why waste nutes when you don’t have to right ?
