Im right there with ya. My cdp is done in 2 weeks or so, my testers are going into flower, BH shortly after that. The HGK has 3 weeks. My green crack and triple cheese will be done in 30 days or so . The c99 has about 45-50 days left. Schedule is moving along nicely but I am trying to keep up with transitioning to dwc and not interrupt the perpetual garden.
That’s my exact situation lol. I don’t wanna get rid of anything but I’m really wanting to make this transition.

So Im coming up to about 2 weeks or so from when my cdp is finished. Ive never finished in coco, how do you guys usually flush? Do you lower the nutrients but keep feeding? Do you actually stop feeding nutes at some point?

All with a damn handsaw and pruner poles talk about a rush. Climb 50 foot with harness and ropes and chop off limbs that if you know touch that primary wire and you aren’t mega careful..... that shits death. Literal death

Falling from that height....: death. Adrenaline job for real. Ground work is chipping logs and chainsawing :D
hope it pays well, man. that's dangerous!

How far are you into flower?

How much water is it using between top off usually?

I cut N back at 5-6 weeks to about half, then again if needed the last week.

N and P are what give you a harsh or chemical burn taste, but you need them up until the end to build and fatten buds, just in less quantity. During the last week before harvest, they'll slow down drinking, almost to the point of stopping. They'll start to finish off by themselves.

Word to the wise... never saw anybody harvest too late. Everybody jumps the gun, but the plant knows what to do.

So you never cut off all nutrients? You feed P and K at full strength in the last week?

she's an auto so i'm guessing week 6 or 7? She's moving too damn fast for me - i'm ready to go back to photoperiods lol, my nute mixes are always wrong because she's just knockin week after week down

she's drinking about 2-3 inches of water a day - ph has been pretty stable

I never cut all nutes. I don't flush either. Flushing causes the plant to store extra nitrates, gives you that burn on your tongue.

Full strength P and K unless they start to burn, then drop them a bit.
Ok, Ive actually been feeding light on the N for most of the flowering period. Wonder if I cheated myself out of yields, I was basing it on how dark green the plants were for all of flower.
