Violet seems to have hit a wall in the last week or so, not feeding nearly as much as she was. I only fed her 2 liters yesterday and this morning her res wasn't quite dry. That's a big change from feeding her twice a day!
I don't really think she's done yet. I think it's either a salt build-up issue or a pH issue. She's gone through 236 liters (over 62 gallons) of nutrients since she started flower just 47 days ago. That's a lot of nutrients, byproducts, etc. built up in her soil.
So today I flushed her. It takes longer to set up than it does to flush. I fit the shop-vac with a piece of 1/2" tubing taped on the end that goes in the SIP res. Then I put 5G of water (with Great White & BTI) in a bucket with a spigot. I attach a piece of silicon tubing to the bucket's spigot. I drag the table over to the tent and set the bucket on it so gravity will feed it down to the plant. Now I'm all ready to flush.
Once the shop-vac is turned on I turn the spigot about 1/2 way and just start watering. I put in about 1/2 gallon and then stopped for a few minutes to let it soak in. Then I started again and emptied the entire 5G bucket. The rocks and garden fabric on the top actually make it easier. I can soak her pretty well and not worry about washing away soil or tunneling. I paused a couple of times to let her breathe and suck in some oxygen. What I emptied out of the shop-vac was dark purple, like the Remo nutrients coloring.
Once all that crap got flushed out I top-watered with 2 liters of fresh nutrients. I left the shop-vac running for five more minutes and made sure the res was completely empty before I turned it off. I'll leave her like that to dry out a bit, then fill her res back up tonight with fresh nutrients.
Today I started the 'flowering' stage of her flower recipe. This lowers the maximum day RH to 56% and night to 46%. The @VIVOSUN VSF6450 (at 45%) went from 20/4 to 19/5, lowering the DLI to 35-40. Next week I'll go to 18/6, and continue lowering the light schedule 1hr/week until harvest.
I took some trichome shots this morning just because. She's showing a lot more cloudy than I expected, but still quite a few clear as well.
Hopefully I can keep her healthy for another week or two. She has plenty of leaves to go through before she's done. Even if I harvested today she's the largest auto I've ever grown. I really want to give her more time to swell and ripen, though

I definitely wouldn't add P at this point and hold off on the K until you see how it liked the flush.
