Day 84
I'm pretty glad I didn't get frustrated and pull it early, it's looking great! 5-7 more days I reckon, I've checked trichomes and they're very milky. It's coming along fast now so I'm hoping she'll be done by the end of the week. I took a small sample, a popcorn bud that wouldn't have finished up anyway and wow, talk about strong hahah. It's gonna be great for making FECO.
I've opened up the canopy some more too, not a lot but enough to help out.
I stopped watering it for a few days because I wanted to dry it out before harvest but decided to give one more water because it was taking too long. No more water from now. Hopefully lol.
MIDWEEK UPDATE:
I got a new tent :) 4 x 4 x 6.5 or 120x120x200
Very happy with it, it's huge compared to my last one, strange how just 1 extra foot feels like such a difference. It's especially nice being able to stand up in it, no more hunching over. I'm thinking about getting a wooden pallet or something to raise the floor a bit, feels odd having such a tall tent and everything on the ground.
Thought about swapping back to LED's but tbh I think I'm going to stay with HID. I'd need to spend a lot to get a big enough LED to heat this tent in the winter, no way am I going to use a small heater in the tent like I've heard some do, feels like too much of a fire hazard to me.
One slightly annoying thing is keeping the humidity down. My old tent was pretty consistently 40-45% with extractor fan at low medium, while this new one is around 59% with the extractor fan at slightly over medium. As long as I can keep it under 60% I'll be fine, I've heard over 60 is when the risk of but rot gets higher. I don't want to run the fan any higher than medium because it's way too loud, that and it's been going almost non stop for a year lol. Next purchase will be (instead of a new light setup) an AC INFINITY T-6 Inline fan, according to the specs it's literally half as loud - 32db VS 65db (my current fan). I only got the one i'm using because I got a good deal on a display model (with a speed controller).
I'll need to get a new carbon filter though, as it's a 150mm fan, mines 100mm.
Anyways, happy!
@Ned_Schneebly, cool :) yeah tbh I don't think i'll grow that strain again, tried 3 times, 2 had mutations (fasciated) and all 3 were poor yields. Keen to try a different 1:1 strain though, the effects are quite nice. I did manage to get 1-1.2ml of FECO from 8.5grams though, which isn't a bad result. Good luck with your grow :)
