13 days since the last update, Day 67. Buds are really stacking and ripening very nicely. A lot of the leaves are fading or dying off as everything is going to the buds. Last week I started giving them Growganica Incredible Bulk Bloom Booster every other watering. This is my first time using this bloom booster but so far I'm liking the results. Lowered the temp from 85 to 80f, the humidity from 65% to 55%, and also starting to taper down the CO2 slowly so the buds can continue to ripen. Loving the look and smell of these buds. I'd say 6 or 7 plants out of 9 are showing purple hues. All of them super frosty. I'd say they have between 1 - 2 weeks left the most. Ordered the UV upgrade kit from Mammoth about a week ago. They are supposed to be shipping by end of May which I hope is sooner rather than later as I don't have much longer left on this run and I would love to get some UV going for at least a week before harvest if possible.

@Medicrexcellence, Thank you very much for looking and commenting! Best of luck on your grow when you decide to pop these babies, I don't think you'll be disappointed! 🙏 👍
@Legibly1200, Thanks for commenting! The tallest center cola was only 8 inches from the light and was sitting at nearly 1400ppfd with the low corners at 900. I could tell it was definitely light stress as only the colas in the center hotspot were showing symptoms. I raised the light back to 18 inches and reduced the overall par to 800-1200 and they seem to be doing better. Keep in mind I'm running CO2 or these numbers would have completely destroyed my plants. Without CO2 I'd recommend staying between 600-800 ppfd. This is also my first time doing 20/4 hours light schedule which is definitely raising my DLI. When you say you have light burn on tips, that can also be from slightly too much nutrients or even the roots hitting a dry spot in the media. Light burn will encompass the whole leaf edge/margins before completely frying the entire leaf. You might just have some tip burn which isn't usually related to light intensity.
Looking good, saw another dude growing these and it looks like he has the humidity of the Sahara. It
was hard to tell if he had a weed plant or some spinach/raisin hybrid at week 2.
