Too much fade?

[midlifegardner]

Usually I don't flush all that much at the end before harvest. Probably just 1 day. I'm in all perlite and water 8 times during the day.

This grow, I lowered nutes to 300ppm about 1 week out from chop and then to about 100ppm (tap water no nutes) and run like that for 3 days.

Just would like opinions based on the pics of if I've done it too early. Too much fade?

Cheers, MLG

Yeah I know porky. Had that one and one other like that only luckily. Agree its not my best grow!

So how long do you normally flush for? Get run off to same ppm as tap water?

as for the yellow leaves ,,all good at this stage of its life....

 

Just as some plants show purple in cold weather ,,some will show yellow ,or any of the autumn colours .,so it could be that,,,could be part or fully because of the flush ,,or combination of both..
 

not all plants fade at the same rate in flush either .

im leaning more to cooler weather ,,what temps has it been getting ?

 

anyway I don’t see anything wrong or ugly about the plant at this stage of its life.

 

exept that bud that porky mentioned.

Cheers SE. You're right about the cooler weather. I draw in air from outside and it got down to 7/8 degrees C for the last few weeks at night.

If I was on an off peak electricity tariff I'd do lights on at night but I'm on flat rate and have solar so may as well use it.

Interesting discussion into research done into flushing. goes through methodology to results.

 

 

TLDR : 

 

no statistical difference between flushing for 14 days and feeding until end.

I don't believe in flushing unless you overfed and need to rectify it 

others may disagree

I'm starting to lean that way too GSM

Well done. 

That second photo looks great. Love the colours.

Difficult not to get mould without some sort of systemic ‘cide’. Not looking like much anyways. Yay.
