Last week didn't go perfectly again, this time because I was away for the holidays and I didn't have an automatic watering system. I did build myself a self-watering base, but the amount of water wasn't enough for the whole week. Many of the leaves dried out, but overall the plant survived the week better than I expected. Visually, the plant looks good and it smells fantastically sweet, fruity and berry in the tent. Now it's time to wait for more milky trichomes. When I checked, I could already see some amber colored trichomes, but I don't know whether this is due to the dryness or the ripeness. We'll see
Nice healty looking Plant, personaly I don't take off the lower buds/branches, they get pretty frosty and make really good dry sift Keif.
Keif is terpene heaven.

To minimize the risk of bud rot, it's crucial to maintain humidity levels below 40% during the final weeks of flowering. High humidity creates an ideal environment for mold and mildew to thrive, potentially damaging your precious buds. By keeping the air dry, you can significantly reduce the chances of this devastating condition. Consider investing in a dehumidifier or improving ventilation to achieve and maintain optimal humidity levels. Regular monitoring and prompt action are key to ensuring a successful harvest.
@Buddo, thanks for you input. I chose not to take off the branches to not stress out the plant any further, but i am a little scared about bud rot in the later stages of flowering. What do you do to make sure you don't have problems with that? I am growing in a very small tent (40cm x 40cm, or about 16 inches by 16 inches)
The leaf tips & leaves in general change color when the plant is starting to bud. Happens with every one of my plants. It not necessarily related to PH or nutrients. If the leaves look bad, I remove them. Once the buds start the plant won’t grow much taller maybe a couple of inches, she looks good.
