Green Gelato - RQS - First Grow

I have this light done several grows. About 15 inches and that is close in direct center of light. I don't do intense light till bulking.

As long as you keep it below 60 you are okay.

Mid flower perfect time. The time your branches went stiff, cut silica. In soil i wasn't using a lot, but at certain times it gives needed boost or support.

You’re going to get all types of answers on this. My opinion is not to stop feeding til the last 3-5 days. I start to slowly taper the EC down over the last 2 weeks. You have no updated pics from this week, only last week so it’s hard to advise on an appropriate chop date. Most photoperiods I run fall in the day 56-63 - as far as a chop date.. there are outliers but that gives you a good timeframe. Shoot for 60 days total give or take a few days. So if that’s the tentative chop date. I, personally, would feed up until day 56 let’s say. Day 50 I’d feed 1.2 EC , day 52 I’d feed 1.0 EC, day 54 I’d feed 0.8 EC and a final feed day 56 at 0.6.. then a few days of just pHd water then chop. There’s no “chemicals” you’re removing from the flower by flushing. This is a fallacy. Some ppl argue for a 2-3 week flush. If you take my tentative chop date of day 60 - Can you imagine stopping feeding at day 39? Last few weeks of flower are bulking up the flower - starving the plant at this point in the cycle is just detrimental to the final product - in my humble opinion.

Amazing harvest and an amazing diary to boot! Your first grow, too!!! You definitely hit this one out of the ballpark... I would urge you to enter the diary in the Diary of the Month contest - win yourself some more seeds and keep growing! You've got an amazing green thumb! Kudos! And Merry Christmas!
