@revdrjim, Yeah mate. If you click on the harvest week, I've written about the smoke itself. Let me know if you want any more detail.

@@54degreesnorth, Thanks buddy, I appreciate your input. Definitely no mold which is a good thing. I've just hit her with some flower nutes and we'll see how it goes. Everything I'm learning from this grow is being applied to my second plant which is a couple of weeks younger. Actually a loupe was the next thing on my purchase list, I'll definitely go out and get one this weekend. Cheers again mate....all the best with your grow too. Shall keep you posted.

@mrgold10, I think the plant has spent so long putting the nutrients in the buds they aren't going any where fast. Salts may migrate down the plant due to a difference in concentration supposedly however if you think about it, the reason your leaves are turning yellow is because the plant is sucking the nutrients out and putting them in the buds so even if u stop feeding it eats the leaves. Feed or no feed if you can keep going (no mold) then let her mature a bit more, could be the difference between another 8th. If you see mold chop her and dry her. (Chucking the moldy weed and washing the rest). Do you have a jewellers loupe to check the trichromes? If not my minimum recommendation is to wait till basically all the pistils have darkened. Wishing you the best of success my friend!

@@54degreesnorth, Fair enough, I'm always keen to discuss the status quo. And the status quo is to stop nutrients in the final week or two. The general consensus being that flushing out the nutrients as much as possible will result in a cleaner and tastier smoke. My non-scientific theory is that by minimising nutes in the soil, you are also minimising uptake in to the plant matter (in our case the buds). But hey I am an experimental kind of guy, I will hit it with one more week of flower nutes and see how it goes.

@@54degreesnorth, Cheers mate. I had some humidity issues whilst drying in a cardboard box. I was able to get through it and they are now curing in a jar. I'll update this diary once they are nicely cured.
