New Grower First Auto Grow, 2 x White Widow

Maybe someone can help me here, concerning Ph measuring and Flushing.
I see lots of folks posting about flushing for 5 -7 days, Im confused by this. Does this mean one flush and then a 5 day dry out or does it mean flushed everyday for 5-7 days?
I flushed WW1 yesterday with Ph 6.5 water and measured the run out at 7.3, (too high), so if I need to further reduce my Ph down to 6.5 do I keep flushing until the run off is sufficiently down?

Is this your pre harvest flush or just a general flush?

Its my last flush this morning , gave her another. ph run off is at 6.7
She is around 9 -10 days to go so I wont be feeding again, just leave it to the plant now, frosting up nicely

I think you're confusing flushing with cleansing here read this thread from muddy, where it explains in a bit more detail what it actually is https://www.autoflower.org/index.php?threads/flushing-vs-flushing.12578/

I looked at that ty for the link

I wouldnt worry about ph at that stage as you want the plant to use all its stored nutrients to get rid of any chemical tastes. So even if it was at a ph that would cause lockout that would be fine. Maybe thats not right but just my idea on it mate

The one I was having trouble with has been stunted all the way due to root damage on the same day as she popped.
Im just damned if I know how the Ph got so high as well, that's why I was Flushing/ cleansing a lot.
These are 65 -70 day plants and the stunted one (WW1) is at 59 days now.

The younger one is now at day 51 and is in very good health for the time being, will begin "cleansing" at the end of this week.
Heres a

couple of pics
The first two are WW1, the second are WW2, now 90 cm tall both budding up nicely now

Hi guys and Gals,
Just thought I would throw in an update.
WW1 is in her final week, (according to the seed sellers), Maybe take a wee bit more but she is getting real sparkly now but trichomes are still crystal clear.
The bigger one is budding up nicely as well and has 2 weeks to go, looks like I will get a better yield from the big one.
Strange I don't smell any aroma from these, Is it because Im with them all the time ?
Whatever, they will be ready soon.
