Team Water Cooler - Jock Horror Feminized

I posted this on the Problem forum...

I am growing Nirvana's Jock Horror Feminized from seed. I vegged for 6-7 weeks, Jock Horror showed pre-flowers at around week 5 or 6 and I started flowering her a week or two after that.

This is Day 39 of 12/12 and here are some shots:

Here is some background: DWC, PPM 850-900 (max) slowly goes down as I add water, however since I had issues with my PH meter about 7 days ago she has been slowing WAY down. She is not drinking much water and I am thinking a good 2-4 hours of flushing is needed in order to fix her? My PH was reading 5.8 but really it was at 4.0 for about 5 days before I noticed browning leaves and decline of the plant. I got a new meter, dumped reservoir mixed up a fresh batch. It has now been 3 days since that reservoir change and I am not adding in very much water at all, so seems like the plant is not taking up any nutrients.

I found this thread from another user on here:

Nirvana says 63-77 days so the above post was right on. I am worried that the plant has slowed down way to fast. I am thinking I need to flush ASAP as I mentioned before any thoughts on this?

I checked my trichs and the lower bud sites pictured have 70% cloudy 10% amber and like 20% clear.

The main colas have no amber and a mix of cloudy & clear

I am scratching my head here. Can someone give me some advice, I guess she is going to finish fast ~ 63 days but I am not going to pull her until the trichs are just right.

Should I flush for a day? Hours? Then reintroduce nutrients at a diluted strength?

Using GH Micro / Bloom (8/16 ML / GA) ~ Lucas Formula
and I add in some Canna Boost. PPM's below 900 no nutrient burn just the PH disaster that I discussed earlier.

Appreciate any help, input + rep for any good advice I just want this lady to finish and need some help confirming what I am seeing / thinking.

Bump ^ can anyone help me out here? Do I need to flush and slowly reintroduce nutrients?

You need Flo!

Gosh Weedler, I wish I knew! You've answered so many Q's for me already. Might have to be an early harvest?

This is my first sativa to grow, based on the link to the thread I posted in that long post above that guy harvested in 64 days that would put me ~ 3 weeks out. I have her flushing right now for about 4 hours just to hopefully allow her to take in some more nutes later today.

After a good 20 hour flush with FloraKleen I have reintroduced nutrients. Tap water, Micro, Bloom & Canna's Boost. PPM's are around 675. PH 5.8

Since the AK48 was chopped down I have now moved the JH into the 400W tent for the remainder of her life.

Just let her do her thing bro.
She is fine.
All lowers buds mature faster because the most and newest hormones are located there ( THAT'S why clones should come from the bottom !! They will root faster due to the excess hormones compared to the top of the plant).
If you check my JillyBean thread, I believe I stated somewhere how her lowers were very amber, but the top cola was only cloudy so I took a few lower branches AND buds like 2.5 weeks before "actual" harvest.
Now she can divert those hormones and food to the uppers, which speeds maturity IMHO, since she doesn't have to feed the lower buds anymore.
Some growers will harvest the bottom buds that are ready, while letting the top buds finish up.

From that strain description on harvest time, she's slowing up due to that.
She's had her fill, now she is coasting and getting better with time.
Bloom weeks 2 - 4 USUALLY see the most growth, then they start to decline in vigour and just get dense, funky and POTENT !! lol

Thanks for stopping by Flo. She is getting denser I am glad I moved her into the 400W room

She is not drinking as much as I would like, I hope she is just slowing down like Flo said, the buds do look to be increasing with size but the leaves are yellowing and falling off on the entire plant

Here are 25 shots of the Jock Horror on Day 43. Enjoy!

20 & 21 show how pretty a good topping can be.

I have increased the reservoir level up to the bottom of the net cup, I did this yesterday and have new beautiful white roots shooting out from the net cup this morning. I wonder if the low PH level killed or hurt a lot of the root structure thus the low nute uptake, massive yellowing and dying of ALL fan leaves & leaves near the buds. I topped off with some more PH'd water today and brought level up just above the bottom of the net cup. Going to run it just under the net cup for a few days, nute uptake has increased since I started this.

good to see she is finally drinking again weedler

Yeah I have new roots coming out so that is a good sign. Looks like she should finish strong. Will be flushing here in a week or two.

New roots are exploding and she is drinking heavy!

Here are some lights out photos, she is doing great, flushing will commence in 2 days

Despite all the issues looks like she will finish. 20% amber 70% cloudy 10% clear

Here are some shots enjoy

How much do you think that you will get off of her? Pic 14 is a very cool angle, I would +rep for the artistic-ness but have to spread it around
