Soft colas and buds

Any suggestions on firming up my flowers. After I flushed a few days later they are soft. I use a auto pot system and fox farm soil and nutrients. And this is your bubble gum auto of seeds.

Any pics?

1000W LED full spectrum.
Jack Herer that was next to this one turned out awesome. Thanks for the help.

1000W LED full spectrum. I keep it just far enough for the leaves not to turn up on the edges. I had a Jack Herer next to it that turned out great.
I flushed this Bubblegum and waited a few days till harvest but I held up harvesting till I could talk to some of you folks. Thanks.

I should have mentioned also the flowers were much more dense before flushing. Sorry. Thanks again for taking the time to help.

Have you checked the trichomes on the buds to see if they’re clear, milky, or amber?

I’ve never had buds get less dense.

Is it possible that I waited too long after flushing to harvest? Maybe they were not enough nutrients to keep the flower healthy. trichomes are about 40% cloudy but it’s hard to find many amber ones. Maybe I’m jumping the gun.

Lights. Your light is probably a 250watt labeled 1000w

What’s the brand ?

Sorry Chip3, I’m at a loss. I’m out of suggestions since your Jack Herrer turned out great.

Thanks for the help. I’ll give it some more time and maybe another dose or two of nutrients then a good flushing. It’s at 11 1/2 weeks now. Auto flower.

It’s says RoHs. It’s grown several plants. But an update. I decided to hit it with a dose of my regular Foxfarm nutrients schedule and now the bubs and colas are firmed up again almost as heavy as before. I think I just jumped the gun on harvest and left them on just pure water too long before harvest. I checked my book it was 5 days on just water. Looks like my girl may forgive me though. I need to pay closer attention to the colas under magnification too. Thanks for your help.I was doing something wrong I just couldn’t figure out what.

Just so you know ROHS is a compliance directive. Stands for restriction of hazardous substances. Not a brand LOL it should have a brand name somewhere or specs on it.
