I dont see why people give up days like that. 24 hour black outs and etc. Doesnt make sense why you would want to lose out on a day.
Just get her cold near the end and she will show lots of color. I notice kool bloom dry brings out the colors and ripens. I use that stuff at half strenght once a week for weeks 6 and 7. Really brings out the smell and looks. You have to flush really good tho.

I run the full distance and then when I would ususally chop I drown em. Don't lose any days. Just for the hell of it you should try it. Totally cleans up the smoke. Far more effective than flushing. I realize it's not possible for commercial runs but if you keep some for yourself try it on that shit, you'll be glad you did.

Bascially drowning the plant creates an anerobic environment in the roots and the plants sugars start to ferment (cure) earlier and faster. Totally gets rid of any black in the ash which most people think is salt but is actually sugar.

I've read about drowning in DWC by just killing the pumps, but how do you do it in soil? Just overwater the hell out of it?

Put the pot in a bigger pail and pour in water until it quits drinking.

My 5 gallons drop into a 5 gallon pail nicely and then just water until they're saturated so pretty much was Rasp said.

Day 55 of flower. Tomorrow is officially the end of eight weeks and gonna drown em for three days and chop on Saturday. I know its not cool to be your own cheerleader but FM this looks freakin awesome

Dude, Ive been your cheerleader since the beginning! They look beautiful! Just like I predicted! When you drown them for three days you drop them in a 5 gallon bucket and flush the shit out of them? Then choppy choppy? No dark periods nothing right? I just want to mimic your ending. Looks fucking amazing!

May I ask where you got the seeds or clones since I'm in Canada, my last grow was PK from bcseedking

These clones came from Lower Mainland so gonna guess they are very similar genetics to bcseedking.

I drop the pots in 5 gal buckets and then water until I can see the water line and I know the roots are completely submerged. I don't flush as there's no reason to at that point. I might try a couple in dark period to see if I can find a difference but the drowing seems to be the main thing. After that chop and dry and that takes a while when they're that wet

Dunit. awesome. Your led grow is my idol haha. Can't wait till I figure it out and get it dialed in myself.

Question for you. What tip would you give to someone new wanting to try led's out?

nice grow. i just started 6 sr-71 purple kush clones in veg. the clones came from soma. i hope they grow nice like yours

So you basically just leave them in a bucket full of water for 3 days?

3 days min. I usually drown for 2 days under the lights til they quit drinking and then 3 - 5 more days after they have stopped drinking.

This thread explains it in detail - https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/409622-truth-about-flushing.html

Damn man those are looking nice and fat holy shit good job man seems your gonna pull alot of weight this round good job !!!

did they get any purple on them? i'm growing the same strain from bcseedking. by the way your ladies look awsome.

Still drowning your plants?

I would bet they're chopped and hanging by now. Figure a week or two til final weight?

I hope so =) I can't wait to see what he pulled. I got 6 sr 71 purple kush under 1 357 magnum led right now. I just started veg cycle and they are growing fast. I hope to get similar results. Hey have you guys ever heard of Kushy Kush? It's a nute that's specifically for kush strains and supposedly it's hard to find. I only found 1 hydro store by me that sells it. They swear that for kush strains it's the best and out performs general use nutes. I'm gonna pick up a bottle and give it to half my plants to see the difference.

Just chopping down today and will try to get some pics up in a couple hours. I must say that way easier to chop when the plants are pruned properly from the beginning

Hurry it up already! lol. Ive been checking this journal every couple hours for some pics! I bet your fingers are too sticky to type right now! haha
