Are the plants showing signs of nutrient burn? If not keep ripping it. You must not defoliate much with how much those are drinking.

How much nutrient solution are you giving them each time?
I try to avoid too much defoliation since its auto plant 2-3 leaves here and there. I gove them 1500 ml each time

I water 1500 ml twice. When i water with 1000 ml i dont get runoff or maybe 5%
Sounds about right, I usually only shoot for 5ish percent. I'm running Cyco Platinum Series it seems to be very clean and not require a lot of run off whereas some other nutrients can salt up badly if you don't really let it run off a good amount.

If they look healthy I would keep nailing them.

Lower sugar leaves were perking upwards. Leaf tips are burnt. Tried some popcorn buds today and the taste was horrible got me pretty baked though.

I never asked, what's the EC of your input solution? Thanks for your fast replies.

It was 1.7-2.0 before (5ml/liter) but since then i flushed with florakleen, next fed them with phed water. And today i gave them 1.4 solution. Thank you for your valuable info.

I'd shoot for 1.8 when feeding twice daily and see how they respond. I normally will run a 2.2 EC input when watering every other day.

Epsom salt is not available in my area. Would maxibloom (5-15-14) from ghe be good for finishing?
You can use MaxiBloom from start to finish. All these different products to use this week or that week is mostly just cannabis specific nutrient company marketing to get people to buy a bunch of bottles of stuff when one would do the same thing.

Do you have any pictures of the plants? 10 liters thats like a "2 gallon" pot. I find it hard to believe those would need more than 1 watering per/24 hours. I would start watering once daily until runoff. You want to see some water coming out of the bottom it doesn't need to be a specific percentage. The point in coco is making sure it's always saturated and never Dry.
Watered 12 hours ago and this is how top part of coco looks like. Btw how lond do you think these buds need. (Not looking for couch high) data sheet read 75 days from sprouting. Plant is auto and its 74th day.

Rippen is basically the same thing as bloom. Only difference is that rippen has white botlle to not allow you to see that the colour is pretty much the same as bloom as it may rise questions. You can use it instead if you run out of bloom… and Yes go back to 1:2:3 base schedule.
