I feed my ladies to the very end.@SouthFloridaGenetics
What do you think? The yellowing is quickly spreading and some sugar leaves are turning purple. There's a lot of spiderweb on the main cola, but I'm pretty sure it's just regular spiderweb. I hope so at least, haven't seen any signs of spider mites.
Should I stop fertilizing it at this point? I know flushing is a "myth" so I'm more asking if it's pointless to fertilize at this stage.

Gotcha. I just remember some of the studies on flushing, concluding that the result was the same if you flushed or not. This also means that instead of fertilizing, you could just let it cannibalize itself before harvesting.I feed my ladies to the very end.
I agree. The plants don't fill themselves up with all the food and minerals we offer them. They take what water they want from the mix and they eat the chemicals they want. Everything else get washed out of the pot when we water until runoff. This is why I don't really flush my girls either. I feed and water them until their last day. I might stop watering the plant the day before chop just to let it get started on the drying process! She wilts a little bit and then cut it.Gotcha.

But since I need to slow down my dry, maybe it's in my best interest to keep fertilizing and let it keep as much foliage as possible.
What's your temps been like at night ? Cos below 15c for too long and it will start to lock some nutrients out anyway also I wouldn't be so quick to believe that rx study so much you know nute company's like selling more nutes just like they set there charts sky high we need more research on the subject imoGotcha.

A night or two below 15c, but on average more like 17c night temp. Hope it's okay. All my photoperiods have several months left. They will feel the coldWhat's your temps been like at night ? Cos below 15c for too long and it will start to lock some nutrients out anyway
Cold is no issue alone cannabis takes cold pretty ok minus tropical stuff it's when u got constant humidity and also cold so plants can't dry out so easy in the light then mould becomes a risk ime I hope u get a wee heat wave to finish them that be idealA night or two below 15c, but on average more like 17c night temp.

Oh, you meant for drying, I thought you meant about the purple colour, I know those colours come out in cold, so I thought that's what you meant.Cold is no issue alone cannabis takes cold pretty ok minus tropical stuff it's when u got constant humidity and also cold so plants can't dry out so easy in the light then mould becomes a risk ime I hope u get a wee heat wave to finish them that be ideal
No growing I mean the sun helps dry them out in-between damp periods so when they don't get that Is when it's more of a issue if you were in cold and dry conditions you proly have less issues take Afghanistan as a example it's hot in the day but night time temps drop drastically in the north they don't harvest till well late in the season without problemsOh, you meant for drying, I thought you meant about the purple colour, I know those colours come out in cold, so I thought that's what you meant.
The room I'm drying will be around 23c, so it's actually too hot if anything. I'll see what the humidity says at that point, but at the moment it's in the 50-55% ballpark, I assume it will rise by autumn, it will also rise when I hang the whole plants to dry. Might find some kind of middle ground in terms of trimming, so they keep a decent humidity in there.
Wet trim would mean they'd dry too fast, hanging them whole might send the humidity to 90%. So might remove everything except sugar leaves and hang them like that.
Gotcha. I have a shit-ton of wind, every day. So I hope that helps. And all the strains are mould-resistant (Allegedly) - I've also defoliated the frisian dew, and will do so again in a week or two during flowering. Remove the bottom 1/3, hope that allows some decent airflow and no pockets for water.No growing I mean the sun helps dry them out in-between damp periods so when they don't get that Is when it's more of a issue if you were in cold and dry conditions you proly have less issues
Definitely wind can help good airflow is important budGotcha. I have a shit-ton of wind, every day. So I hope that helps.

Thanks man, I cut two smaller buds over the last few weeks and it's a great smoke and smell/tasteShe is getting frosty and beefier! Man she looks good. Nice going!
Happy Sunday Brother!@SouthFloridaGenetics sorry to keep tagging you. But 2 things. I'm starting to see amber trichomes and I'm seeing some weird pistils coming up the top of the bud, you should be able to see it in the picture. Is this foxtailing or something else bad?
