I’m in coco plant is at 8 weeks 12/12 it’s a 8-9 week strain should I start flushing her now or hold off a week I don’t see a whole lot of white pistoles right now what do you guys think let her go another week or chopper down? Had some issues with her her ppm. Never went over 650 she’s at 345 now

I would say you probably have a couple weeks still. Breeders times aren’t usually accurate. The first two weeks from flip is considered a transition and shouldn’t be equated into the flower time. So if you flipped 8 weeks ago you are technically only sitting 6 weeks of flower which means you have two to three weeks to go

That looks very nice and will be ready in a few weeks,I go by overall look of the plant from years of growing.

What do you guys think is going on with her? I water her 5 gals every morning she’s in a 5 gal pot so I’m getting plenty of run off

Your plants need a wet and dry cycle. Do not water the plant until you can stick your finger into the dirt about an inch when that’s dry then water. Another good tell is feel the weight of the pot. If it’s still heavy then do not water. When it becomes light to lift then water

Great advice for a soil grow but bad advice for a coco grow.

Looks like you have over fed them bad. I would cut your feed in half for the remainder of the grow

More is better. :wall:

Overfeeding not only stresses the plant and fries the leaves it also stunts flower growth like it has done in this instance. It typically happens midway through flower when growers start dumping bloom boosters and other additives on their plants.
