She's not thirsty and I need 2flush?

[bud buster]

Plants at 9weeks I would like to cut at 10weeks,so I have given only water twice in week 9 and I would like two get two more but they are taking so long to dry out from last waterring.At the rate she is drinking I'd be lucky to get one.Is there a reason for her slow drinkin?Is she finished so much she can't drink?Is there another option I can use to help her fush faster?In soil.Temps are right,humidity is also. PLEASE HELP? She is so fruity and wonderfuly flavorful I would love not to taste the nutes even with it being an all organic grow.Little stoned,sorry for the long run un question,I think about plants easier when I'm medicated by the natural healer cannabis.

How big are your pots? What lights and temps. These factors will help us diagnose your problem. What strain?

 

[bud buster]

My pots are 4 gallons,1000 watt,and temps are around 75F Humidity 35 to 40. As of strain it's a baggy seed of some killer smoke from cali. And she would knock out two waterings a week no problem these last 8 weeks?

any fans runnin'?

They may help dry it out a littl' faster.

 

[bud buster]

Yes I have two good fans on them moving alot of air around,I thought turning them up to high would really help but it seems to have not changed

I would flush asap, just in case the slow growth is caused by fert lock. A flush now, followed with a foliar dose of sea tea (a flowering stimulant), and you should notice a difference. All your grow factors are ok, so I would expect you to see buds ripening. Growth and water needs do reduce somewhat towards the end of the flowering cycle.

 

[Damagoman]

there's a recipe for pineapple juice/Fresh and water ,
around here somwhere ... that's what ya' probally want.

'er, after the flush.

 

[Smokin Moose]

Or fresh squeezed orange juice diluted 20/1

Not sure why the pineapple got stuck in my mind.

 

[bud buster]

I am in the middle of flushing them,this is the 2nd time of giving just water and it's not drying as fast as normal.I don't remember saying anything about slowed growth,how much water should I give to flush them for cutting?I'm cutting in 1 week do I need to put the juice in the plain water I'm using to flush with?OH Yeah,did I mention this is my final week to flush out any nute taste?Buds are pretty much finished ripening I've only flushed with water for the last 2 waterings which were last week.|How can I speed up the final flushings?FIRST TIME ABLE TO GET THIS FAR HELP!!!

 

[Damagoman]

Flushin' is anything over twice what the container will hold.
way I figure it

Norml-ly you would(I would have) have flushed first,
then just used plain water and/or the juice mix the last week or 2.

 

[bud buster]

O.K. I'll flush it tomorrow then straight water and juice till I cut them 8 days from today.Does that sound good?It's O.K. to give it the fresh juice up to harvest?Will tangerines work?

 

[Damagoman]

Yeapper, sounds Like a plan ... yes, right up till ya' cut

Unsweetened pineapple juice can be used as well. This is so the only sugers given are the "simple sugers" naturally occuring in the pineapple. The idea is not to overdo it on the suger with artificially sweetened juice that can contain more complex sugers the plant cannot use as easily.

I usually apply at a rate of 1-2 Tbls. per gallon.
