Dear Diary,
As Week 18 unfolds, the plants are nearing the final stages of their flowering journey.
Careful adjustments in watering and pH are made to ensure optimal conditions for ripening and I will let the trichome guide the harvest timing for each plant.

⏰ Day 123
Provided water only with a pH of 5.8.
⏰ Day 124
Watered with tap pHed to 6.1 for the two WCs to allow some nutrient uptake for another day or two.
⏰ Day 125
Gave water at 6.0 pH for both WCs.
Noticed an increasing need for support for offshoots as the buds become heavier.
Trichome observations:
WC #3: 50% cloudy, 50% clear.
WC #1: 45% cloudy, 55% clear.
⏰ Day 126
Used water at 5.8 pH for both WCs.
Light intensity was further lowered to a maximum of 640ppfd.
Environmental conditions are stable at around 22.5-23.5 degrees Celsius and 55-60% relative humidity (RH) when the lights are on, and 20.5-21 degrees Celsius and 50-55% RH when the lights are off.
⏰ Day 127
Provided water at 6.0 pH for both WCs.
⏰ Day 128 (Day 63 Flower)
All plants received straight non pHed tap water.
Trichome observations:
WC #3: 70% cloudy, 30% clear.
WC #1: 70% cloudy, 30% clear.
⏰ Day 129
Watered all the plants with straight tap water.
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.
