This week I decided to flush the cream auto, but it turned out to be premature. I was noticing what I thought were amber trichomes with the camera but when I looked at them with my newly purchased loupe, they were cloudy with brown pistils in the background making them look amber, so I'm going to wait a few more days and keep close tabs on it. I did a flush one day and started to feed the plant again a day later. It's been getting more pale over the past couple weeks but it's just not there yet. The trichomes are almost all cloudy with a few amber trichomes, but not any sort of a pattern or buildup yet. The plant overall seems to be losing its chlorophyll on its own and the colas are getting big and heavy where the plant is having difficulty holding them up. It's also putting out a somewhat harsh smell, sort of a burnt caramel smell, but hard to describe. It's not a bright marijuana smell if that makes any sense. There's still a little skunky smell, but the earthy tone overtakes that.
The critical mango CBD is also putting on weight and looks like it needs more time. It's putting out cloudy trichomes, but still a little behind the cream. Blueberry auto still has clear trichomes and white pistils however, it's definitely putting on weight. It's still drinking a lot of nutrients every day. Overall, I'm guessing I have two or three weeks to go before these are all out of the pots. I'm trying to stay patient, especially since I've invested nearly fourteen weeks into these plants. I got a bigger tent (32" x 60" x 80") so I can now raise the light and spread the plants out. It's not much bigger, but makes a big difference vs my 24"x 48"x 60" tent. More air can circulate within the plants and now they're not casting shadows on each other. The small tent will be used for drying.
@Ginger_gnome, Thanks I appreciate it. I really hope they turn out nice and tasty. I'm looking forward to harvest. These last few weeks are taking forever.
