First grow

Howdy Yaba. Let's keep er' simple👍 You have awhile to go in flower it looks like (3-4 weeks ish? Just a guess from your trich pics). I would not stop your normal nutrient feeding yet. Using ripen can't really hurt you, but it is very early to be using GHE's ripen. It's usually only used for the remaining week or 2 all the way up until harvest. You can continue to use it, but please go back to nutrient feeds as she still has very high needs at this stage of flower. I would keep up on your nutes until 7-10 days before harvest and before you start your flushes. You buds are not embarrassing...quite the opposite. Understand that the final 3-4 weeks of flower is the time when your girls will put on the most cola weight and swell right up. They will should get much, much thicker in the coming weeks and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised😃. Also another reason why they will still need those nutrient feeds. They're going to budding up fast and need that extra push. Lastly, your RH is perfect... Lower RH in bloom is HIGHLY suggested as it reduces the risk of bud rot. It's recommended to never exceed 55% RH and to keep it around 30-40%...EXACTLY where you are. This is an optimal condition, do not change it, lol! Hope that helped you my friend. I use GHE line and if you have any further questions please send me a message in PM. We can also talk about your harvest time and how to base it off the coloration of your trichomes for an optimal, potent harvest. Breeder notes are a good benchmark but may not be specific to your grow. Trichs are where it's at! Cheers and good luck. I hope to talk at again, soon😉👍

I feel I know what you're asking. When breeder notes say 7-8 weeks flower, or whatever it is, they're not including pre-flower. Pre-flower occurs, well, in pre-flower, during vegetation.👍👍. When you see pistils or offset node points, you've hit pre flower and can start the clock. Essentially you can go right to 12/12 when this occurs. But I usually wait a week or two after pre flower begins before the flip. This way Im making sure they're ready to go and I'm not forcing them into flower. Forcing a plant into flower is not good ... Hope this was the answer you're looking for man. Cheers and good luck. Btw. Buds are getting fat! Not embarrassing at all, eh?😉👌
