Hey man my name is Jesse and Iâm new to this site. Iâm having a hard time navigating or getting any of my questions answered. Im really hoping for some help and ideas on flushing. So I grow in coco using the basic Ventana nutrient lineup. I am day 43 of flower. The top colas of my plants are riping alot faster than the bottom. Itâs cause my tent is packed full of plants so the canopy is thick and not alot of light penetrates. I do have lighting under the canopy from below but they are still maturing slower. So my question to you is harvesting in sections like that ok to do. Top the caps and let the bottom go a week or two more.if I go about this method how would I flush so the first cut off the tops is not loaded with nutes? Flush the plant a week, cut the tops, then immediately start feeding again ? Please any and all advice would help

Been in this same situation a couple times. You donât need to do a week long flush. Iâve flushed once, get the ppm as low as you can go in one shot. Give the plants a couple days and take your tops. Turn the nutes right back on and let the lowers finish. The lowers may or may not fatten up but the quality definitely improves IMHO.

I agree Kinda. Another option would be to remove all the leaves that donât have any sparkles on them and then wait a few days and then start your flush. With all the light thatâs being blocked by all them small leaves hitting them after trimming, The lowers will probably ripen relatively fast.
If youâre that close to harvest, no matter what you do it will be fine. They still continue ripening through the process of drying. Once theyâre in the window youâre good to go.
With those nutrients, if you flush really heavy and get the ppm way down the flush will be fast. The plants never stop eating. And they have no available nutrients they start cannibalizing their lower leaves. I grew a lot of outdoor too and you canât flush that and I never have any problem with flavor. I usually just water to runoff with plain RO water for my last feeding and in a couple of days when itâs dryâŚ

Thatâs about how long I keep made up nutes for 2-3 days, and if your adding inoculate itâs better to add it a day or two in advance it âwakes them upâ and gets them going. If it doesnât have built in sugars then add a little molasses for them to feed on.
