I'm sure you're figuring this out, but with CFLs you'll probably use lower levels of nutrients in late flower than with an LED or HPS. Since the lights are less intense, the plants will be more sensitive as they're not conducting as much photo synthesis...just food for thought as you start upping the nutrients. Coco is great because if you overdo it a bit, you can just feed mild solution for a few days and the plants respond so quickly you can really learn the warning signs of any kind of deficiency/toxicity very quickly.

*Thanks for heads up! I started carefully with no nutrients and noticed that it's better to have some than none. Resonating from this I've had a "more > less" policy.
*For the bold part, I'm coming down already. 21 ml was peak, today last of 15 ml and next I'm thinking 8-6 ml until flush.
Sounds good, and if you watch your lower fan leaves, they'll tell you if you need more or less. I like to see some fading about 3 weeks out, then really let them flush in the last 4-5 days. Coco flushes fairly quickly.
Lowest leaves are a mess. But I blame that for living in the shadows. Low level that gets light are steady green.
8ml/5l feeding. With 6ml AB I'd probably need pH downer, a poison bottle I rather stay away from. Except during flush. 8.5pH or higher from the tap here

She's getting orange pistils
More sugar on her scent, lime n' pepper. Drool affecting. Not strong by any means.
Now I've been browsing the forum and got to test my coco pH. It comes out lower than pour, 4.5 and certainly not higher than five. Measured with drop test. Feed is 6.5 pH.
She's too tied up for proper flush, I don't want to risk any broken branches at this point. But in my next 'clones 12/12 grow' I should take this into account. And buy proper testing pen.
I also read that it could be root rot? For that she should be more dead, I think.

She's drinking 6ml AB/5l and I'm starting to think if I should start flush? Or continue another 5 liters for 4 more days with 6ml? And whether, when flush, I should pH balance the water or pour straight from tap? After letting it "gas out" couple of days. The run off from coco is still on 4. I'm thinking 2 more weeks and see if harvest. Clones should get there under the 125W bulb soonish.

Yeah, I start cleanse tomorrow. Last nutrient feed tonight.
Yesterday I planted two seeds;another Betty boo and Sugar black rose (Delicious). SBR will become mom then some clones.

Smooth sailing. Feeding tap water and after weekend (1 week of flush) I see if harvest time. I have odor control prepared, there just is no need to use it at all*:jaw:

Looking good dude. Lemon juice is a great organic pH down.
