Water uptake lower at end of flower?

Hello!


My plant is nearing harvest and I’ve noticed she’s not taking up water as quickly. I’m guessing she’s 5-6 days from being done, and I’d like to do a last rinse of the soil (not a true organic grow). Is this ok to do if she’s still in the “moist zone”? It’s been 4 days up until today since she’s had anything to drink. Thanks for any input!

iv have had plants in the past that slowly uptake water towards the end of its life cycle and have attempted to do a last flush and or full water as in soak/rinse all of the soil,, you could drown the roots to where it just quits or root rot the plant if it doesn't drain or air out fast enough,, might try to thro an extra fan near your medium.. usually once iv notice they aren't uptaking anymore its a few dark days then harvest

Right on, just haven’t had a chance to use any cleaning product and want the rest of that nitrogen used up

there realy shouldn't be that much nitrogen in there towards the end of flower if you have been feeding correctly, and as far as cleaning products some of those need to be flushed out as well lol.. have you leaves faded to yellow yet?

I’ve done feed, water, feed with her and I’ve had some yellow but not a big fade or anything. She just slowed down the drinking so I haven’t had a chance to do a good couple of water only sessions

id just give her ph'ed water from here on out and she should yellow within the week or so to let you know the nutes have been used... if ur only a few days from harvest then you probly should have stop feeding over a week ago or so
