Lots of cloudy trichomes and some amber so they're nearly ready to harvest. Been getting some curled leaf tips and crispy edges...might be the drop in humidity or wind burn. VPD has been higher than I'd like at this stage as well (1.5-1.6). I've clipped some of the larger/damaged fan leaves to improve air flow through the canopy. Kingpin is giving off a strong eucalyptus aroma, similar to Vick's Vap-o-Rub. Wild Runtz has a fruity/gassy/minty smell. Both have pretty large buds but it's obvious WR has more density. I'll need to put a beer can or something next to them for scale as the pictures don't do any justice to the size. Next week I'll continue watering like normal with plain pH'd water. I'll finish them off with large doses of distilled water to reduce the ppm even further. Would like to see a clear runoff below 100 ppm if possible before chopping.
