Girls are in week 6. I bring them outside for sun and back in grow room last 15 minutes before lights go off. Want to know should I begin to water with only water or water with Nutes a week or so more?

Yeah a flush in the final weeks is a good idea. It'll make the bud taste a lot better and less harsh.
Not much frost on your girl and still looking rather green so I think maybe she will go a bit longer than the breeder states.
Beautiful looking plant you have though. Good luck with it.

thanks. I am in coco as well. I usually grow in soil around this time of the year. I always give water in between feedings anyway but the buds are solid. I can't imagine them growing any more

If you start flushing her now she will start taking the food from her leaves and they will start to die off. She should frost up a lot more between now and harvest. You'd be surprised at how much the buds will swell the final couple of weeks.

That's my c99 at week 5 bloom

This is her 4 weeks later

And she's still going. Should have been ready last weekend going by what the breeder says. She's been on only PHd water now for 3 weeks. She's in soil so she probably still getting some food from it.

Yeah just ph'd water will be enough. She will have enough energy for the remainder of the grow in her leaves. Some people continue to feed pk right up till harvest and supposedly it doesn't effect the taste.
She WILL fatten up more as she'll be looking to be pollinated nearer the end of her life.

Fuck the plants feelings :P i took care of her for months now its my turn lol i want smoooth smoke... coldsmoke ;)

Jokes aside

I feed on the light side and still make sure i fade out before i chop.

To prove it to your self flush one and dont flush the other .....dry and cure the same ...test the result ;)

Just saying MY opinion plenty of non flushers out there .....im just not one of em:)

Not to step on Op thread and not to go into this old topic (and because my method is a little of both) but I've done side by side & I've found 0 difference, none. I used to flush for 2 weeks religiously now I don't flush at all, I just taper, but everybody does it different and that's just my finding.

Anyway I see no difference and there's a lot of people who agree. I agree with you to try it both ways, you won't find any difference except happier healthier and heavier plants by feeding the last few weeks
-good luck

Can I harvest now you think

Nanas are male pollen sacks. If your able to remove them then I'd Definitely do it. If they burst the plant will pollinate itself making your bud more than useless.
In reply to could you harvest now I'd have a check of the trichomes and see if they are milky. If they are you can chop her. Normally wed look for 80% milky 20% amber before harvesting.

About half of the nutrients absorbed by plants are immobile. It doesn't matter if you only feed water or not they can't move. It's why some deficiencies show in old growth some in the new growth. Flushing doesn't move or remove them from the plant.

Leaching minerals from soil also depends on solubility and cation exchange capacity. If nutrients just washed away, plants would be deficient every time it rained. If your bud tastes funny it's likely grower error whether it be over fertilizing, chopping to early or improper drying. More fertilizer doesn't equal more bud.
