Happy new year everyone! This diary aint a complete one cause it was my first try and i thought it will be a disaster. so i skipped it and now im regreting it ! :) ok lets start with the setup im using . im a math/comp teacher so i like to read so everything i bought was from forums and everything the internet has to provide i went even to read about VPD charts etc and the most advanced teqniques. And so i Started. 4 plants in 1,5m x 1,5m 600 hps with wings. no glass protection for heat( bad choice). i used a home fan for cooling the lamp.a small fan to move air around the base of the plants and a huge outake fan with filter 15cm in diameter. i used bags of co2 no meter so no idea if they were working but it was the only solution to my heat issues. My temps inside the room was above 27c all the time. so i tried to overcome this issue with co2 supplementation and humidity based on vpd chart. And magically i went from seed to harvest more happy than i could ever imagine.

Hello there, looking good and at the finish lineπŸ‘ Firstly, if she's eating a tonne, then I would certainly match her needs and give her the 5+ liters of water if you think that will carry her longer. At this stage in the game, though, it's hard to keep up with them since they do eat so quickly and what you're doing daily still may be the best option. Even though they're drying quickly, you're avoiding water logging, which is perfect. This one is more your call then anything else. It is suggested to look for run-off, however, so we know we are washing out excess salts that may be sitting stagnant in our soil (I usually look for a bit more at this time 20-30% RO). So, I guess ya, up the feeding amount and ensure a good amount of RO. Second part of the question pertaining to pistils and time to flush/chop: I just straight up say trichomes are where it's at when determining the right time to harvest and/or flush. Pistil hairs are good benchmarks to follow and can help you ballpark the point in time you may need to flush or chop. But pistil hairs can be inconsistent and not actually represent the stage of growth in the plant. Sometimes they brown out very early when the girl isn't ripe yet and visa versa, where new white pistils are being pushed but the girl is done and ready to chop. You have the magnifierπŸ‘ and from your picture's I see you're very, very close. Most trichs are starting to "cloud" and the clear trichs are becoming less in number quite quickly. Objective for optimal harvest is to aim for 100% cloudy trichomes (100% is impossible to get, but it's a 'goal' lol). When I start my flush (10-14 days before chop) is when I see about 70% cloudy trichs. After that 10-14 days the remaining 30% or trichs should have clouded out and you're in the harvest zone. You will still see some clear and even some amber trichs kicking around in there, but that's normal. If you're looking at 90% + cloudy, you've done a great job in estimating the harvest dateπŸ‘ That's all I got! Throw me a PM if ever you need and we can shoot the poop further. And congrats on this beast. Happy smoke!
