Week 8. RO water only. leaves are dropping. Buds are getting heavy and the smell has increased. Finally checking trichromes and atleast 1 plant is close to harvest. The Plants were topped at 7, 8 and 9 nodes respectively two weeks before flowering and the 7 node plant is considerably ahead of the 9 node plant. Initially I thought this plant was ahead because a fan had fallen and stressed the plant by slightly damaging a bud but it's more likely to having the least nodes hence the least buds . This plant is also closest to the fan, the door and is physically the shortest. it was placed on a small box to maintain an even canopy. I half forgot about this variable with different nodes and it explains some of the things i saw during flowering. For instance the 2 larger plants growing taller and wanting more N during early flower when the short node plant maintained deeper green at the time and simply had less bud sites to accommodate. The 9 node plant looks like it may easily take a couple more weeks.
