Dear Diary,
As the flowering phase progresses into its 56th day, the gradual adjustments in nutrient solutions, pH, and light intensity aim to support a successful harvest.
Trichome observations are carefully monitored to achieve the desired level of ripeness before harvest.

⏰ Day 116
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.51ms and pH adjusted to 6.4.
Notably, I've started to observe some purple coloring on WC #3.
The lights were further lowered to a maximum of 730ppfd, with a range of 550-700 for most of them.
Temperature conditions are maintaining around 22.5-23°C during the day and 19-20°C at night, with a relative humidity (RH) of approximately 50%.
⏰ Day 117
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.43ms and pH at 6.2.
⏰ Day 118
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.43ms and pH adjusted to 6.3.
The lights were lowered to a maximum of 700ppfd.
⏰ Day 119
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.31ms and pH set to 5.8.
Light intensity was further reduced to a maximum of 680ppfd.
⏰ Day 120
Fed the plants with a solution strength of 1.31ms and pH adjusted to 5.9.
Due to the lights being on lower power, temperature conditions are now around 22-22.5°C when the lights are on and 20-21°C when they're off.
Relative humidity (RH) levels are around 55% with lights on and 50% with lights off.
⏰ Day 121 (Day 56 Flower)
Changed over to watering only with a pH of 6.2.
Instead of a flush, I'll continue with water for the last 1.5-2 weeks. I plan to pH the water for a few days before providing straight tap water, considering its natural pH of around 8-9, which should prevent further nutrient uptake without introducing stress through excessive flushing.
Trichomes' appearance:
WC #3: 35% cloudy, 65% clear.
WC #1: 30% cloudy, 70% clear.
⏰ Day 122
Provided water only with a pH of 5.7.
Fantastic work! I'm a newbee. One question. Day 139 reads:- WC #3: 95% cloudy, 4% amber, 1% clear. And Day 142:- 99% cloudy - so would that be 1% amber? Thanks and well done.
@Xilpa, thanks man! This was just my 2nd grow as well so I would put myself in the newbee category as well to be fair haha
But yeah so by day 142, they were about 99% cloudy with 1% amber.
I do understand that it can sound a bit weird as I had 4% amber in a previous day, but it’s as the previous days I was just looking at the tops, and for the last check I gave a estimate more looking across the entire plant. So the very tops were probably at 5-10% amber, but at the bottom it was basically 0, so averaged out to about 99% cloudy.
I otherwise just focus on getting rid of almost all the clear, and I have a tolerance for about 10-15% max of amber, so I cut when either:
1. Less than 1% clear or
2. Over 90% cloudly and 10-15% amber.
