I was thinking about this, some plants will be ready for it sooner than others.
I could probably start flushing Emily next week even....What I think I will do is if a plant looks to be very close I can take it from the reservoir and flush in a separate container, using Drip Clean or FloraKleen (as available)
then plain water until done.
I may have to do that for each as its ready, but should the last few be close I will flush the whole garden and finish up (with a plant or two more amber and the rest more cloudy. I will just have to keep watching and do it as I see its needed.

Fat AND Hard. Its amazing to me just how dense the buds seem to be.
No4 is a bit fluffy still but the rest when you lightly squeeze the main bud its solid.

Thanks guys for stopping in, and for the support I have gotten from day one.

Heh Cheetah stoned is a good thing!

I also will start adding some FloraNectar to the reservoir this weekend to finish out the nutrients part of this grow.
It adds sweetness

Quote:

FloraNectar contains all natural raw cane sugar, molasses, malt syrup, select plant based esters, L-amino acids, organic acids, polyflavonoids, vitamins and essential minerals.
This unique blend of ingredients helps your plants regulate enzymes that trigger specific reactions involved in maintaining optimal metabolism. This allows your plants to achieve a balance between respiration and photosynthesis in high intensity growing environments where the rate of respiration can sometimes exceed the rate of photosynthesis.
As a result, FloraNectar ensures optimal metabolic rates during the flowering and fruiting phase when nitrogen levels have been reduced.

And unlike other companies that are quiet about their sweetener formulas they come right out and say that its Raw Cane sugar and Molasses.
with some other goodies as well.

A few weeks of that should help with increasing the odor of the girls and help the ripening process.
without building up nasty chemicals that need to be flushed. I will cut back on other nutrients soon and increase the sugars as I near the end.

Sweet...

Changed nutes by draining tank with hand pump and refilling with funnel.
Roots have developed quite a lot recently (no idea why)
and do not want to damage them by removing girls from the reservoir
not long to go now

No Pictures until later today
A trip to the hydro shop yesterday
got a Ltr of FloraNectar™ which is a sweetener that will aide in the development of buds
by supplying sugars to the plants.
Might help with the smell (or lack of it) as well.
I was also able to get a Ltr of FloraKleen™ as well for upcoming flush
All the girls are looking prime and getting thicker
frosting is covering even some fan leaves on a few.
I will take some images later today when the lights are on to demonstrate
I also plan on seeing just how well I can photograph trichs for you to see.
I can see them well but want to share for advice
wish me luck in this as it will be a first trying to get that close up.
Hope everyone’s grow is doing well
And as always…
Thanks for the support riu.org

Sounds excellent mate that FloraNectar should boost them even more!! Ive been trying to take photos of triches with my new microscope. With the scope and naked eye you can see so much its amazing yet with the camera its so hard to get anything crisp and the field of vision seems to be much more limited. Anyway im sure you'l find a way around this! Keep up the good work mate!

Heh and a bud shot or two

Hope everyone is doing well
