Cool u should be good to go. Funny I was suggesting u might water more often instead of feeding those deep green ones less, and im in the same situation, but I been lazy about setting up a drip system so I just used .7ec for a watering or two.

Im also noticing when over ferted my coco stays wet longer I assume cause the plant is shutting down and not drinking. In DWC the plants would still drink the water at the same amount causing even more lockout but the coco seems to eat a touch diff. when locked out. When im ceeding good and everything is on point I need to water 1 a day minimun but when locked out I can see its still moist so I use a lower ec. Just my observation..I could be wrong..its life :)

I been flushing the last 6 days now...some days the coco is dry, some days its still a little moist. Its weird. Temp and humidity have been consistent too.

Experiment next time on a few plants:biggrin: I tried flushing for only the first 2 days then let them dry out till I chop. 5-7days
1) Cuts down on the hang and dry time.
2) Makes them put out more resin for me.
3) Makes it impossible for them to transport any more trace feed, elements etc left over in the coco up to the buds.:tiphat:

I actually need the extra dry time here so I water 1 day b4..(never harvested coco though) then try to cut at night. But at this point there should be no nutrients being put back into root system at night time. So I should b able to cut any time right?
Also ganja if I had space for 48 hrs dark it would have a 400 watt hps and 5 coco plants in it :) lol.
never seen a huge diff with 48 hrs lights off personally. To each their own though and whatever works right.
Top shelf :) of my closet...not in the dispensary 4 me lol. Be safe erryone .

Wait 5 to 7 days no water 40?
I get flush for 2 ...then i assume just get them moist for 5 days or so but let them soak up all the water in between waterings? I think thats what u mean.

5 days no water than chop. Flushed good a couple days before that. Last harvest I had plants that finished in 8-10-12 weeks so I did different things with the flush period on each of them. Buds seemed to have more goo on the ones I didn't water. I'm going try a side by side when these next ones get done. I also don't think that 48 hr dark period does jack. I tried sidexsides in soil. It does save electricty:biggrin:

Im tryin to live right on the beach...everything is so damn expensive and small. Hey question...is there a such thing as too long of a flush in coco? I did about 5 - 6 days with molasses...looks like it could go a couple more.

Hey gonja, flushing with just water is no good imo with coco, u still need that 5.8ph range and cec. even if its only 50 or 100 ppm of just bloom. and molasses at the end is no Bueno, that's basically dumping mg on them at the end and that doesn't burn well. Just my opinions and experiences of course to each their own. I know that's what tastes best for me and smooth with no nute flavor or crackle.
