Do I have to start giving nutrients again?

This is my second pheno of Alaskan purple that just made 12 weeks today. I started flushing 2 weeks ago because I thought harvest was near and I’ve been feeding both plants the same thing. But the other plant comes down next Friday, what about this one? This still has a lot of growing to do and I’m going to assume it doesn’t have nutrients in the soil so do I need to add nutes for another week or 2 or just let it finish out? Surprisingly, the lower leaves and little larf bud sites way at the bottom are still green but the leave at the top are in senescence so I’m confused. My question is do I give or nutes or continue to give it water? My medium is coco btw

Why did you flush? It's a stoner myth. Would you flush tomato plants?

My first grow I didn’t flush and it was somewhat of a harsh taste even after a month cure but smoked decent, so with this being my second harvest approaching, I was just trying it out for myself. Seeing what works best for me

The plant looks like it still has a way to go. Definitely could use more nutes.

Yeah, just resume feeding ASAP.
They're a long way off finished

I basically need to learn the difference between a p and k deficiency. It started to yellow like crazy around week 9, both plants. So I assumed it was them thinking fall is approaching, senescence is happening, etc. once I saw it eating at the nitrogen, I thought I was helping by flushing. I thought nitrogen deficiency started at the bottom, not the top.

N deficiency does start at the bottom and works its way up. From the looks of the leaves, it looks like N deficiency, imo.

You can try flushing if you want but if its too complicated just dont worry about it. It takes a while to start to call the harvest yourself and then you start flushing. When all the hairs are orange, if youre into checking trichs and they appear ready, now you flush. New people tend to start flushing weeks too early like this case.

I wouldnt worry about harsh smoke, Ive grown several strains, not many because I run clones over and over.. I found that some strains are just harsh no matter what you do to it. While some can be dried brittle no cure and smoke smooth enough.

The ones that cure will only need 2 wks to make that happen and its crazy what can happen if its meant to cure. Smells change and intensify, smoother smoke. Some strains wont do anything when curing but of course will help it smoke better if it wasnt but its still crappy.

My main pheno is like that, Ive tried to cure it several times it just doesnt do much. I use it for 100% dabs tho. Ive gave it away to smoke and people say its fine, good stuff.

No it started at the top, this was June 2. Legit 2 weeks ago. And you can see a branch of my other plant. Both started yellowing on the tips at the same time. That’s why I assume senescence

It's not for enough along to be senescence. The way the leaves look completely yellow, leads me to believe nitrogen. Could be mgso4 deficiency, combined with nitrogen deficiency.
