So I left for a week and had a trusted friend take over watering duties. A few things of note: I was concerned over overheating the grow so I turned the power down to 75% and ran the light up another 6 inches. This had the unfortunate effect of less airflow and cooler temps so I got powdery mildew that I would be fighting for the remainder of the grow. That aside, the plants looked way more mature when I returned home, with nice trichome development and density.
@NoTillGreenTom, thanks man! The buds were the stinkiest a few weeks before harvest. Smell isn’t quite as strong as I though it’s be post cure but it does have a nice smoked gouda smell ❤️
