Actually they are in a tent. My temps have Been Higher lately as I am dropping humidity pretty low w dehumidifier to try and increase trichome prod. Never gets above 80 but I try to keep it around 77FWhats the temperature where you are, could be the soil is heating up in the sun.
Thanks for the awesome info! It’s encouraging. I was worried I ruined it with this power flush I did. Worst case scenario I think I could harvest if it developed any issues and not lose out too muchIt looked like it was starting to suffer from excess nutrients, in my opinion. Being a Sativa, it isn't unusual for the lower fan leaves to turn yellow as flowering goes on. The flushing probably removed a lot of the excess nutes, but now the leaves will probably yellow more quickly. Feeding isn't recommended at the end of flowering... but if you still have a week or so to go, a very light dose wouldn't hurt, but only if needed. If there are time released nutrients in the soil, you might be good with what yoou have in there already. I'm a fan of "Less is Best", but all grows and growers are different. Good Luck!
On a side note, my Sativa's often turn purplish on the bud leaves and smaller fan leaves when approaching maturity. I see some purple veins in your leaves, so it could be reaching it's end time depending on the strain. Some Sativa's flower for 12 weeks or more, although several factors are involved. Let it finish fully for the best taste and potency. They get fat and greasy during the last week or two!
I was worried about the flush. I think it was an over reaction to fearing nut issues. I looked last night and it seems like actually about 60 percent of trichomes are cloudy and I even saw an Amber one or two. So it’s probably getting close to harvest! Thanks for feedback! Happy growing!You started flushing that plant way too soon, way too many white pistils on that plant plus you've probably half drown it too!? If it were mine I would start feeding it again ..after it dried out
You got to bring a plant to where it's 90+% ripe and then you can worry about flushing, imho a plant doesn't need flushing it needs a taper but that's a different discussion, anyway that's what I would do, good luck!
Thanks!! She was way prettier before the leaf issues :(. I’ve got another plant that hasn’t seemed affected by any of this. It’s got massive heavy buds but hardly any hairs turning red. What strange is a lot of trichs are cloudy so I’m a little confused about harvestNice plant by the way, good work! Let them go long enough they will reward you every time
LOL welcome to the club nightmare! ..and the same strain will ripen differently in the summer than it will in the winter too, so there's that to look forward to as well lol Goodluck & keep doing what your doing!Thanks!!

Thanks man. Very insightful! So flushing doesn’t make the taste better? I had to harvest one I had outdoors too early due to bugs and it honestly smells and tastes like harsh grass haha1) all flushing does is stop the overfeeding that so many growers choose to do. Flushing does not remove nutrients from your plant. I think it's just another activity that seems to help because it distracts growers from doing harmful stuff. Like coconut water and molasses. Don't overfeed, for one.
2) The curled down leaves may actually be from drowning the roots with your flushing. I haven't seen it much in plants this large, but if that plant was 10 in tall, we'd all be going "overwatering".
3) those time release nutrients are released by water. So the flushing may have actually contributed to burning.
4) the essence of organic grow is slow and continued release of nutes. They don't flush out. Mix them, as you have, with an additional time release, and you have a time bomb.
I like a fairly neutral soil, and weekly feedings of a highly soluble mix like Botanicare. Simplifies things.
This is what she looked like 10 days ago before I stopped giving nutrients. Looking back, maybe the flush only hurt her.1) all flushing does is stop the overfeeding that so many growers choose to do.

I might try the bottom feedingI was having the same problems with my plant In coco, my problems was over watering and to much feed,
This is how I fixed it
I give one feed from the top even when the plants where over waterd i did this.
So
One feed from the top feed strength on the wond was o.6 e.c. that probably about 1ml a litre of feed and half strength calmag , I give about 1-2 litres basicly till got run off then didn't feed for 2-3 days the coco got a little dry still pritty moist but not soaking to the point if u picked the poit up water runs out
Then after the 2-3 days i fed again but a stronger feed about 0.8 on the wond, this time bottom feed, I'd fill the tray at bottom of the pot and if plant instantly sucked it up I'd put more in and bassicly keep putting more in till its stops sucking it up, then I'd leave about 5-10ml of feed in the tray at bottom of the pot , by the next day the would of sucked the tray dry
So after that first top feed/mini flush I just bottom fed every single day about 1-1.5/litres But every day I'd upp the feed as my plants was quit big like you're it evenyaly go to 1.4 e.c on the wond and no all.is good :)
Since just sticking to this bottom feed meathod my plants are looking very good now as bottom feeding its hard to over water,,
My pH was alway set at 6.2 as my bagged coco had organic amendments or something like that its called its says on the bag somewhere.. So need pH of 6.2 if see organic on the bag uaully says on back if the bag....
If using brick coco pH of 5.8-5.9 from what iv read as its has no norganic amendment's,, i use to ph at 5.8 but plants looked shit sinces setting pH at 6.2 as someone told me in this site , and bottom feeding as i said above my plants looking lovely..
My leaves looked exactly like that like the sides curl in , I'm sure the main issue was over watetinf not so much the freed, but can't hurt to do a min flush
Looks like your leaf tips have sign of nute burn
I'm new to coco so this might not work for you but did for me
Thanks! Yeah, the burnt tips were why I decided to flush. Hoping it gets back to good health as it still needs a few weeks I’d say
