First grow on coco. Is this a nutrient issue?

You've got a long way to go on that one before she's done. So we'll find out together! Seeds are like siblings they can be very different. She looks very good, just keep running them and see where they go!

Growing in the Mojave during the summer my buds would be less dense so are you a bit warm there?

not that warm. I’m in the uk and our summer is struggling to start. Maybe lights are creating a bit too much heat

Should I start flushing? Or do I not flush plants in coco coir? Or do I still have a while to go? This is a “Skywalker OG” auto.

Thanks

Nick they look fabulous and you're getting close. You have a little longer to go. But damn they are gettin' huge and they look good! You've done great.

Flushing is for cleaning an overfed substrate in hydro. You use it to keep any retained salts from burning your plant. Since I typically overfeed and don't necessarily run enough extra through the pot everytime I fertigate when my reservoir empties I run a low osmolar solution (seedling feed level) through my coco to clear retained salts then I mix the new reservoir and continue on feeding at age appropriate nutrient levels until it empties again, about 2 weeks. So flushing at the end is unnecessary and reduces yield.

But once a nutrient has passed into the root system the only way you can remove that is by supporting the plant's metabolic processes. You get smooth, clean smoke from your slow dry so the plant can break down the final nutrients, some of the chlorophyll et cetera. So now it's preparing for getting your dry on point.

Good job, you're almost finished!

Thank you so much for you expert advice. This is much appreciated.
So I’ll keep feeding as normal for the next couple of weeks then look at chopping and slow drying.

thanks again
Nick

I have had to put a support bamboo into pot as branches getting heavy. Worried that I may have damaged the roots as heard a pop when pushing cane into pot. Do you think I’ll be ok? Really worried now ☹

Nah you can't really hurt them now. I mean you can even kill them but you are so close if that accident happened you'd have a nice harvest.

You're getting into the ripening stage. Couple more weeks and those buds will plump up and harden. This is the point I change to a 'ripening formula' but that's a little advanced and very easy to overfeed so I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have exp. Just keep a normal ec until the last week before you pick them you can taper down your ec, because the plant isn't really using much when it's almost ripe. Flushing is a bad myth that confuses alot of people and really blew up for no reason.
