Dark Devil 3 Plants

I don't think your ready to harvest for a bit. less intense more frequent waterings is optional in my view. but may not work as well for you. Keep up with the feeding schedule for your brand of nutrients and it should do well. Sometimes you can get away with 1/2 or 1/3 the suggested strength depending how concentrated it is. Autos also don't requite as strong as feeding as photoperiods do. Best Of Luck!

You still have 2-4 weeks left, start thinking about harvesting when your plants have 95-98% brown pistils, this will out you in the 10-30% anber trichome zone without having to be too pernickerty. Hope thios helps, Organoman.

Grow looks pretty good. I would back off the grow, and Micro in flowering. Npk ratio in flowering is 1-2-3.

Stop misting right now!! Do u want bud rot? ur lucky this devil strain is mold resistant or youd already be in trouble if this was something like a cookies strain. Stop using grow nutes now. Just use bloom nutes and wait. At the end of the day the size of the buds is = to size of the plant and the size of an Auto = how much light you have. if you have a 100W LED you not going to get giant fat colas. U just wont. They will be nice sure, but Devil isnt a huge chunky bud strain to start with. Its potent and smells amazing and is tough, but not giant nugs strain. the last two weeks is when its packs on the last 20% of weight, so use JUST bloom nutes and give her time.

Lot of good advice below. Misting is bad. when in flower, check your buds for grey looking areas or parts that look like they are dying. I'd also follow the directions for the feed and just divide the amounts as it tends to be to strong for most plants. I think AN wants all three in equal portions when using that line. 40% RH is good. Best Of Luck!

Stop misting your plants, it is unnecessary and you are only increasing the chances of mold attacking by doing so! Your buds will not grow much anymore, they are nearly finished with only final ripening occurring at this stage. Two of these plants are ready for harvest and will not require any feeding, just plain water for a final flush, and the one with lots of white pistils still may need one more feeding before beginning a flush and harvesting. Doing some training on your next grow and keeping the canopy more even will mean you can leave your lights lower which will increase bud size, but for this grow, there is nothing you can do now to make these buds any denser or bigger. Once the plants have 100% brown pistils, THC breaks down into CBD and CBN pretty rapidly, so I wouldn't wait too long before harvesting some of your plants. Photoperiod plants will offer much betteer yields by the way. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Flushing plants is about removing nutrient salts from the plants cells, it is not an exercise in drowning the bejeezus out of your pots, that is only done in extreme cases of toxicity due to over feeding or other such eff ups. Just give plain water in normal amounts, at normal intervals, for 7-10 days and this is all that is needed. Drowning your plants causes hyper moist buds that are then prone to rotting during the drying process. There is no need to wait until anything turns brown, especially your buds, for if they turn brown, they are dead and no good to smoke. Just harvest after the 7-10 day flush and everything should be just fine. Flushing should really be re-named "nutrient with holding period" as this is exactly what it is all about, getting nutrient salts out of the plants cells and not an exercise in imitating a toilet and drowning the bejezus out of your pots/soil. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Recommended amount to flush all nutrition out of substrate is 3x's the potter size in water. 3 gallon potter is 9 gallons water.

Agree that "final flushing" needs to be re named. its about flushing out the build up nutes, thats true, but there are a few ways to do it. You can flush 2 x the volume of pot worth of water thru the soil and then let plant go for 5-7 days and chop. OR two weeks before harvest just use plain water and let the plant use up what it has left. The funny thing about nutes is if the amounts are all out of balance, like when u stop adding nutes and just use water, once the balance is really out of wack, the plant cant uptake anymore nutes even thou there are still some left in the soil, for example without Mag a plant cant use Nitrogen effectively ect. So the two weeks with no nutes ends up causing a type of lock out and the plant flushes itself. Thats how I do it, just added last low dose of P-K booster a few days ago, and now its about two weeks to harvest. I wont add anymore nutes before then. And the last dose of PK booster is to help lock out nitrogen and reduce amount of green in the leaves and buds. I want light green buds not dark green. Light green buds taste better.

I agree with Organoman

I meant colour of the Trichomes **

I like to stop watering and drop humidity even more a few days before harvest just to pull the excess moisture out of everything so it dries faster- or thats the theory. Thats how we did it back in the day, but now everyone likes to slow dry their buds, so I guess it really doesnt matter in your sito either way if you look at it like that. Generally speaking keeping it a bit drier during harvest is a good idea as excess moisture and buds dont mix. And agree that dropping humidity to the lower end during flower does produce more tricomes, outdoors my average humidity here is 30%, with 20% not uncommon and rarely over 40% unless it rains... and it doesnt rain here in summer...well not really. And yes you can totally cut the main cola and leave the rest for 5-7 more days. Thats usually how I do my larger plants as the tops are always more mature then the bottoms, so I take the tops and spend a few days trimming and then while they are drying im watching the rest to see when they are ready.
