Hey everyone should I start to flush these plants for a week they are growing in coco coir I think the last photo could go another week maybe as the pistils are still sticking out straight. Ill be going to pick up a magnifying glass tomorrow to have a look at the trichomes kinda looking for the couch lock effect so I know most of them have to be a amber colour. It the start of week 8 tomorrow it's shiva skunk from sensi seeds.
You are covering two marijuana myths in one post.
1. Amber trichomes are not at all desirable. Amber means the THC has degraded and turned into CBD. CBD can make you feel ill. It is not the effect you want. The "amber trichomes make a couch lock high" is a myth. When I see any amber, I am ready to pick.
2. Flushing will not make for better weed. I grow in coco and feed normally until the day I pick. If you cure properly you will not have black ash or bad taste. Flushing is for those who have over fed.
Your plants might be a bit over fed (curled leaves - could be temp issues, not fert), but I would just lower the amount of fert used instead of stressing them with plain water. Coco is inert. You can't grow a plant in it with out nutes. If you water in coco with out nutes, you will stress your plants.
I ramp down the fert towards the end.
Plain water in coco will stress your plants.
