8 Weeks and Flushing Questions w/ pics

I am 8 weeks into flowering and starting to flush with PH adjusted water of 6.0. It is Purple Kush in Canna Coco-Perlite 50/50 mix. I was using An Sensi a+b, Bud Blood, Big Bud, Overdrive, Carboload, Sensizym, Vodoo Juice, Florolicious Plus, Zone, and Magical. They are under 1k watt HPS about 14in under the light. They being watered every couple days. Temps are between 65 and 77. Humidity is between 35 and 55.

Should I buy Clearex or Final Phase to flush plants or just RO PH'ed water? Should I add Carboload in the last few weeks? The plants are short and I'm convinced that it it is genetics. Although the roots are root bound. Should I be watering more often, I have heard its hard to overwater plants in coco? Are they ready? Im thinking another week of flushing. The PPM of the run off water is about 300 ph and is about 5.9. I need some suggestions on coco growing. Any advice would be appreciated. This is my first grow.

Thanks I think all those chemicals to flush your plants are if your in a rush. I don't think they need it. Any other suggestions?

I'm flushing my coco grow right now and just using plain water. I dont feel like I need clearex or anything like that cuz the coco doesnt really have any holding properties. My water came out really clear after 1 gal of water.

Great job man! Looks very well done, as far as the flushing agents I think they should be used when one hasn't really planned things out well. It looks like you have planned everything as where you have a really amazing harvest coming your way.

In the topic of flushing,... I personally believe that the best way to remove excess nutrient salts at the end of a plants life is alot like doing anything else in growing, it best done SLOWLY. I have found that by slowing phazing them off from nutrient at the end of the grow, until you are not adding any nutes at all is the best way to remove salt buildup and reduce harshness. By just switching from a high ppm nute concentration, to just plain water I believe causes a shock,,, resulting in the plants holding onto whatever they can,, thus really contradicting what you are trying to do.

If anyone has any thoughts on my method. I'm all ears

Thats exactly what I did. I went from 1600 ppm one week. To 1000 ppm the next. Then about 600ppm. Finally to Just RO water about 50 ppm and Ph of about 6. I believe you have the right idea AEROPRO. Thanks :smile:
