Veg growth can be found in this diary: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/120884-grow-journal-by-odrex 2021-10-16 - Fed ~1.5L per plant with nutes for the first time 2021-10-18 - Fed ~1.5L per plant 2021-10-20 - Fed ~1.5L per plant Lazy week so far. Noticing redness in stems and petioles. Added more cal-mag to solution. Few leaves with brown spots but nothing major. Can be cal-mag deficiency or character trait of strain. I know the buds are purple so maybe that affects the stems? We shall see

2021-10-23 Fed ~2L per plant. Plants are having a very nice stretch. My second grow is going 100x better than the first. No pH fluctuation issues, correct pH, checking runoff ppm. Still bad at LST, topped a node without intending too D:

BlackStrap 11 weeks along. Most trichomes are cloudy, trichomes on sugar leafs have amber but no amber on calyxes. How much time would you estimate is left before I chop?

Hey there Odrex, i know this sounds weird but that looks ready to me, i like the trichomes fully milky with no amber at all, and that looks like what you're seeing now. One thing i would check though is the side colas, and take a few looks in a few different parts of the plant, but if it looks all milky that's a chop to me. Usually i recommend a pretty long flush, but looks like you're just about ready to flush and chop any day, really. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Harvested and started drying Saturday November 27 at 6:00 PM. Chopped a few small colas and put them in a jar and the hygrometer is reading 63%. Is it okay to chop the rest and start the curing process?

Yes it is. Jar it up and start the cure. Keep jars 3/4 full and burp the jars every day for a week for 15 min. Then once a week for 15 min from there.
