Week 19 and it happens to be a rainy week with on and off cloud coverage which was actually beneficial to my plant but the humidity has been up due to the fact I also use a swamp cooler and if it's gonna be this humid for another couple days then I'm worried about mold developing on the buds so i think I'll break out the AC to get rid of some of that moisture in the air and maybe alternate between the two. The AC hasn't been used once the whole grow cycle so far but living in AZ we get random storms from the monsoon season not to mention tons of dust, high winds, flash flooding which could be used to flush my plant because it needs it now if rain builds up around and gets under the green house, j/k lol. I've been thinking about buying lady bugs to get rid of all the white flies, any experience anybody, would that work? After writing the above, I could hear the wind picking up outside and remembered that a storm was coming so I ran outside to prepare and it punched it's way through Phoenix with extremely high velocity hurricane type wind, gusting up to whatever it takes to bring large trees down or make a wooden shed door fly off with a wall of dust to the sky and then finally finishing with heavy rain. I was outside the entire storm from beginning to end, well at least until the wind died down and it was just light showers by then. Even with having my greenhouse tied down I had to hold onto it for dear life or it would have taken off like in the wizard of OZ. Honest to god I was almost pulled off the ground or several times more onto my greenhouse when the tsunami type wind would hit, pounding me and the greenhouse from behind having to pull down while leaning back with all my weight and strength.The whole time I'm screaming for my brother who was inside to come out and hold the greenhouse so I could tie it down better because it was just coming apart trying trying to fly away or be ripped apart as storm hit us I was holding on for Amy's Green Drop's dear life. It was pretty insane and wish I had video of me doing it but just have a video a friend sent of his backyard getting hit so you can imagine that wind hitting my greenhouse. The after math was bad 😭 the wall of the greenhouse was getting hit so hard by the wind making it press inward towards plant it snapped off in the middle one of the lower branches making the two buds on the end half hanging there from a 90 degree angle from branch so I knew there was no way to support it back in place enough to heal itself so I clipped it off and started drying it. One other next to it got bent up pretty bad so I'm trying to LST it back to place. The storm also killed my swamp cooler somehow, I guess it's because it has a lot of electronic components on top that was soaked from the wind the rain came from the side, I know, you'd think a swamp cooler could get wet. Now I'm stuck using only my A/C and a humidifier to control moisture and temp and I'm worried it's gonna be pretty hard only using AC in such a small greenhouse as it takes time to find the right ratio of intake and outtake air but can only open greenhouse to mix in so much hot dry air, so starting it was getting down into the high 60's, and I have to figure something out because I can't let it get that cold in there for the last few weeks. I'm almost ready to call it quits If I can't find an equilibrium with AC and humidifier, and if there are anymore storms on the way. Next time I'm getting a bigger sturdier greenhouse that goes into the ground and has hard clear walls and roof, other than the recent storm and excessive sunlight finding the right shading it's been very beneficial doing the indoor/outdoor combo grow and would recommend it as you can live in any weathered extreme hot/cold climate and still grow outside,

After reading the week description above and also saying I finally updated pics to include the different parts of the plant at different ripeness, I ask when should I harvest? If it's just the 4 pictures up there then I've been lazy to go out and take new pictures starting week 7

Yes I would agree with others you have around 4 weeks left if you want to take it to it’s full potential and terms of a mixed body and head highs. _______________________Definitley flush for the full 2 weeks in 2 steps. First water with the volume of the pot in Luke warm water (20c) drench the pot without too much run off. Wait 10 mins follow up with another load of water 1-2x volume of pot. IMO the water does not need to be PH adjusted when flushing soil.✌️🏻

Also I'm pretty sure the storm caused an imbalance in the p.h. of the soil causing a nutrient lock out too. Not sure if the boomerang helped with that but I'll be a little more involved in future grows testing the soil and such but with this outdoor side of the house in ground plant side project grow I'm not that "testy" I guess I'd put it this time.

@IncognitoGreenThumb, super interesting case study... can't help you but I'm learning. solution : harvest what's ready, and leave what's not until it is... that way you dont have to compromise...

"Congrats on the harvest ! So you have the answer to your question ! You can now pick an answer 😘" @OutForReal this is not a valid answer to me... 😑

The plants looking great. I use fox farm too, when you said you used the comeback formula would that be the boomerang? I've used it on mine when they've had hard times and it seems good...but I'm not flowering like you are, so I'm not sure of the effects. I'm glad I got to see your diary. 😊💚

@IncognitoGreenThumb, mine were on their death bed with heat stroke the other morning, and I watered em with that boomerang and other stuff, and it was so funny watching them visibly pick up over the next 30 min. Probably heat stroke and thirst.

@Experimentgreen, It was the boomerang comeback formula and it definitely helped because my plant was struggling. I ordered it the second after the storms hit and once I feed it to her after waiting for it in the mail for 3-4 days she looks like a different plant now but bounced back within 48 hrs after giving it to her, as in that next days morning she was perky and a brighter green again, not so droopy and yellowish.

Wow! I am surprised its still there... Such a strong winds. It shall return back to normal in a week from stress. You might try to add some root simulator, protector for the stress to your solution.

Was that the baobob that hit AZ last week? I saw the footage on our local news. 😱😞

I put my plants under a 600w by the window that way they get both sunlight from the sun and my 600 metal halide . that boost the grow very well its called hardening. Not only that but if a fairy comes by and sprinkles some fairy dust that should help..... For future grows.

That is quite an adventure. I'm glad to read that you are ok! I'm sure the plant will recover just fine as well. A new greenhouse does sound like a good idea!

Holy F’ing shit! That read like a mystery novel. I was riveted! Dust devils and mini twisters are abundant and random in the US SW desert. Such extremes! That, combined with little natural water - it’s a miracle anyone lives there at all! Best of luck with this grow, and the future green house. Consider moving, if that is an option. Global warming. Colorado river drying up. It does not bode well for residents of the American Southwest for the next few decades. Good luck friend

I think the curling and brown tips I see in the photos are due to excessive nutes. I don't think it's the sun. Those brown tips won't go away when you flush, but any new growth should look normal once you do. I know you are close to harvest, the flushing will do her good. By the way, she is a very nice looking plant!
