Indoor 2 Dinafem AWW (day 68) not thirsty..

[Waximus]

Hi peeps, this is a first for me, so I'd like your input, please.
2 of my Dinafem AWW are on day 68. I check them twice a day with a soil moisture meter, and for the last 4 days they haven't needed water- they stay moist. The third, admittedly and massive pheno by comparison- is drinking 1.5 liters a day. All plants look healthy, and all room/pH specs are in good range. Is this just the "end game" for them? They've decided to pack it in, and hunger strike it to bud heaven?
I posted some update pics, yesterday, here:

Not an emergency. Just wonder if anyone has experienced this, and what conclusions they drew.

Thank you, peeps

That's something you might wanna holla at A or Eyes about. Those cats are like walking, breathing encyclopedias when it comes to cannabis. I can't think of a reason why they'd stop eating in flower stage.

Thank you, Bandit I think they might just be finishing up.. They aren't showing any negative signs, and the 3rd plant is just going nuts- but it has always presented as a couple weeks behind the other 2. The un-thirsty pair are going to be harvested next week. I think I will keep a close eye on them and learn anything I can from them. Best to you, my friend.

Bandit, by A do you mean andybotwin?

Nah, I was referring to A4, but Botwin seems to know his shit, too!

So, here is what was happening.. Big thanks to Eyes on Fire for PMing me with some effective ideas!
It ended up being soil compaction. The soil was so mushed down that it was trapping water in the substrate and the soil wasn't breathing well- side effect... wet roots saturated, not drinking. Eyes recommended fluffing the top of my soil to open it up some. I did it with a plastic spoon, and was very gentle to ensure the roots weren't damaged in the act. A couple of hours later, the soil was drying more normally, and the next day moisture was normal. Lesson learned, and now the end of 2 of my AWWs will be much healthier. Thank you to all!

That damn Eyes is good wit his! Glad you got the issue ironed out, Wax
