Anyone care to comment on the next feed?.... advanced nutrients say no more than 1200ppm in the last week of veg, they say up to 4 weeks for veg, but i have had her about 5 or 6 weeks now. Now that she is in her new environment im going to let her veg out til she is BIG

I know silly me, imagining that you might actually have something uselful to say... From the posts i have already read on here and reading between the lines im going to go with feeding when she is at 50% of her full weight and give her a 1/4 strength nute flush just before she goes into flower.

Earlier today and later today... any ideas why she is drooping near the end of her light cycle? I fed only about a day or so ago with 1200ppm of nutes - still no signs of nute burn, should i flush? Until now i have only been giving nutes and gradually bringing the ppm up - some people say 1200 is too high in veg, the thing is - this has happened before and in the morning she has perked up???

Maybe this is causing the problem?...

I just read on another forum that you should flush every 4 weeks?...
In my coco grow I could visibly see salt crystal on the rootball surface. I had to flush once or twice a month and I just completely submerged the rooball untill all the air was out of the ball and when I pulled it out it would just drain the salt crystals away. I had visable postive responses every time this was done. I never saw a negative response after many times doing this. I would let it drain into a five gallon bucket and then just refeed that after it was put back into solution. In other words no more crystals.

firstly fuck the haters WW. everyone started somewhere.
ok just had a brief look through and your worrying a little too much she's drooping and rising up as she should it's natural with the light and watering. she's healthy green and plenty of new growth. in my experience the best way to water coco is little and often. constantly will give you mould problems on the surface of the coco. or at least it did with me when i used autopots which constantly feed.
the best tip i can give is keep it simple man. look at your coco each day stick your finger in the top inch to an inch an a half if its really damp don't water if it's dry feed her a bit. remember roots like oxygen so letting the medium dry out a bit is a good idea. too much the roots will suffer. it's a balance but in a pot your size it shouldn't be too hard man..
flushing is a total preference thing. coco is an inert medium it doesn't hold any nutes as such it doesn't need quite the flushing time that soil does. unless you over nute or think you have a deficiency from some sort of lock out why bother flushing? your only depriving your girl of nutes! but like i say some peeps like to do a flush at the half way point.
you really went to town on the advanced line up mind. thats a fuck load of dollar for the full line up.

Firstly thanks for the responses... I just want to get this right. She weighed in at 12.5kg wet and 8.5kg dry so im going with the watering point being when she is at 10.5kg? I think i will give her a flush today, maybe mild nutes, not sure yet - i saw on another site that a flush with pH'd water and some superthrive would suffice Ill probably lower the ppm to about 1000 also on subsequent feedings - dont want to push her too far, not yet anyway
OK, now see that's what I was cautioning you about. If you do everything at once then you don't know what helped and what hurt. choose the most likely cause of the drooping and deal with it one step at a time. avoid confusing the issue. Don't worry about haters and trolls. Nothing to be done, they are a plague
