So I've got a grand daddy purp thats slowed down on water consumption. Whats the consensus? Its week 12 of flower. 4 weeks of veg. 5Gal bucket distilled water. Nutes are at about 1.7- 2.0 EC. H&G Aqua flakes just base nutes, cal mag, Miicrobial mass & bot. care hydrogaurd (beneficial microbes), ph up/down gh.

Thats what I figured. Just wanting opinions, first timer. Im not going with the trich method more so the curling of the pistils / swelling of the bud. They're dense but I'm not trying to lose out during drying, what would you say. Another week or 2? The pistils on my Zkittles in the back aren't quite finished curling, still have some white stiff ones.
 
ive never looked at trichs, just done like you said for 30 years. i let the hairs redden up good. i know others will laugh lol. i take my fpog a few days earlier with a white crinkled hair or 3 left. i like the effects better on that one by trial and error.

Ah, Its got the 3-4 white pistils left on top; but I'll take it next week or the week after. I like the couch lock, dick in the dirt type high. If I'm growing its for potency, & quality :eyesmoke:

i do both. i've had a few that looked done but all the trichs were still clear and went 2 more weeks. do you have a scope to check them out?

I do, I purchased a jewlers loup. I'll take some pics tomorrow at lights out.. I've noticed that the trichs are all clear, some milky, but no amber, the majority of the buds are swelling and the hairs are receding, all but a few.

i've found almost all of my dwc plants need way less nutes in the last couple weeks.

Good thinking, I'm going to start tapering off tomorrow. What do you suggest running towards the final week or two? .4-.7ec?

i kinda went by the max EC that would still slightly drop every day. it varies by strain, conditions, etc.
 
Dropped EC to .4 to finish her and the Zkittles off. Might do a slight 5.7-5.8 ph balanced flush for excess salt build up for a day or 2 before they get the chop!

Currently on week 20 from seed. Going into week 21.
Week 13, going into week 14 of flower. Long ass wait!

She's looking rough huh @Jjgrow420 . Came back to a ph imbalance or nitrogen build up back in Dec qround the 15th, left Dec 1st. She stayed like that even after a distilled 0.0Ec 5 day flush then a .3-.4Ec to build back up. This is what she looked like before I left. Came back 2 weeks later to a clawed up plant lol.

She's caked up though so I'll finish her ;)20211127_122914.jpg
