No Water for 3 days 4 days from Harvest

[New Holland]

I'm in deep shit. I'm 4 days from harvest and I went to check on my plants. Half of them look almost dead due to no water for 3 days. There in Coco. I'm suprised they dried out so quick. Can I just harvest in 4 days anyway?. Or is all lost?.

I'm not a coco grower but I think the idea is to flush them with plain water that last week so they use up all the nutes they have stored.

They should look like crap before you harvest but probably not bone dry.

I wouldn't think that you have made a serious error as they are due to be cut down in a few days anyway...

Post a pic.

Yea if its only 4 days before harvest i reckon the weed will still be great .... you know whats 4 days when they been flowering for what .. 50-60days already, its bugger all ....

More information please, have you watered them yet and if so how have they reacted? Are the tops bent over and if so how far? Any added information is useful too.

i know a bloke who used to not water for 2-4 days before harvest, a few days on water then nothing, that was his flush and he said it made drying them easier, his pot was never to bad but personally i keep the water up to them till the end, but to answer you question if they are ready pick them if you dont want to do that wet the medium with water of flushing mix and keep it nice and wet and see if they reyhdrate again.

all the best with it all the same.

They all look shitty, yellow fan leaves which is normal. But 1/3 of them have keeled over, could be just because of the heavy buds?. I watered them 3pm yesterday. Lights don't xome on 'til 6am. They Just look real bad because most of the leaves are drooping right down. I suppose it doesn't matter, just means there drying out earlier.

Yeah it could be that too, do you have an oscillating fan in your grow room? If they look like they will survive then just keep flushing them with plain water until harvest, if they don't then harvest now.

i'd just harvest them now whatever you do it is only 4 days to harvest anyway. at worst you might have a bit of chemical still in them but they been without water for 3 days so i would think that they used everything they had trying to stay alive. dry em and see how they smoke up is the only way you gonna be able to tell.

[loylty gets u nothing]

i run mi flush so that the last 3 days are waterless

i let the medium dry out a bit

its coco perlite

the reason i do this is

i read that the plant throws out more triches doing this

kinda sefense mekanism,but havibg em wilted isnt real good

id hit em with some water so they regain there structure

makes it easier for maincuring to imho

all the best
