Week 8 Day 50 (9/4) Honestly, not much to talk about. She's thickening up at her bud sites some, and will probably need water tonight or tomorrow morning. My fan & carbon filter SHOULD be in today, so I hope to work her into her new home tonight in my legit 2x2 tent. I've been shopping around for lights for my 4x4 for the future...😀 Day 51 (9/5) This morning I checked her weight to see if she needs watered. She seemed pretty good still. I'm guessing giving her the whole gallon soaked her enough to get her by a few days. I'm toying with the idea of if a gallon lasts 3-4 days, maybe giving her nutrients each time. Idk, I probably won't but it is a thought. I wasn't able to get the fan & filter set up last night, wifey decided she wanted a date night so the tent got put off until today. I do need to get some 4" ducting, the ducting I have is dryer ducting and doesn't really fit. Day 52 (9/6) Got her all settled into her new home last night. I still need to figure out how to rig the oscillating fan in there for her. After running the lights for 3 hours or so this morning, her temp was 74F and humidity was 58%. I turned down the exhaust fan some to see if the temp goes up a bit. I only have one air intake opening open and have my humidifier sitting in from of it. This morning I fed her a gallon of water with Soil A&B, Top Booster, Bud XL, Drip Clean, and some Cal-Mag Plus. I did see that the pistils that had browned on some of the lower bud sites that I had noticed a week or two ago have been replaced with all new white ones, so she seems to be getting back on track. Day 53 (9/7) It looks like fall has finally rolled in. It's going to be nice and cool this entire week, so the windows will be open and she'll be getting fresh air. So far, the tent has been great. Holding good temps and humidity, even though I don't have the humidifier in the tent. Still working on a way to get my oscillating fan in there... Day 54 (9/8) Nothing much new going on, just playing the waiting game. Her last feed/water was two days ago. I checked her weight last night and she was good. I'll check again tonight and see where she's at. Day 55 (9/9) Her pot was still pretty heavy this morning. She hasn't been watered in 3 days (day 52), so she'll probably be getting light tonight or tomorrow. I'm sure the cooler temps have been helping her conserve water. Yesterday she stayed pretty cool, so overnight I stuck a space heater in the room and opened up the tent vent flaps. This morning she was at about 80F. I will keep the heater going and the humidifier going today to keep her nice and warm and humid. Day 56 (9/10) So far I've been able to maintain the temp and humidity in the tent pretty well. I have an exam this afternoon, but once I'm done I'll probably head home and mix her up some feed.

Not the best pics, but do these trichomes look cloudy? First time trying the microscope, still working on technique. I don't even know if these are on the bud or leaves lol. I'm just trying to get a sense of what clear vs cloudy looks like.

Hey there DogterB, looking at trichomes is a whole thing. Try looking through a few different places on the plant. You want to hit up like the side colas top and bottom, the main cola top and bottom, take a look at the flowers and the sugar leafs, there will be some places either than others to measure. Sometimes it's necessary to have a " stabilizer " to take the measurement aswell... i just use my own fingers for that. You're doing good man, thanks for the pictures. Remember though :you're doing this for you, so as long as you can take the measurements for yourself , that's good enough like you dont need to get a headache from taking pictures ya get me? anyway, you're basically 70/80% cloudy if not more already. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Since I am seeing some cloudy trichomes, what kind of timeframe am I looking at moving forward? I'm thinking I want to harvest when I'm between 20-50% amber trichomes, so when I start to see some amber, about how long do I have before I need to chop? Days? Week?

Hey Growmie, Once you start seeing amber trichomes it's going to take about 2 weeks for it to reach the 20 - 50% amber trichomes your looking for, then chop her down. Hopefully I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

I'm close to harvest but my lower buds are still showing white pistils. Do I wait until they are ready as well? Any tips on trying to get them to mature? I was thinking of some defoliation but am hesitant as a first time and that it's an auto...

Hello You've got a very nice full canopy and the plants definitely far enough along that i would defoliate just to send more light to the bottom. Maybe a 20% removal. If the upper buds are ready way before the bottoms you can also do a partial harvest and then let the rest mature over the next week. Happy harvesting. ✌️

@CRiSPrGrow, I learned it from an old school grower, useful info needs to be passed on to others as it was to me. Go ahead and steal it! 😆

Having similar yellowing issues with my plant, but was not feeding with every watering. I thought it was nutrient lockout too but it hasn't gotten better. You're a week or 2 ahead of me so learning from your grow. THX>

@Latestagecapitalist420, no problem! An old Eskimo told me once, "Learn from others mistakes, life's too short to make them all yourself". Hope my mess-ups help lol. Good luck!

@DogterB, To be honest if you're running autos and want to keep a perpetual harvest happening...it's time to fire up a couple more.👍 I knew someone on here who only ran autos and did a perpetual where every 3 weeks there was a harvest and germination.

"A few days ago I moved the light down quite a bit, and when I got home last night a lot of the upper leaves had gotten pretty yellow. I figured it was light bleaching so I moved the light up some to about 13" above the tallest cola point." It's not light bleaching what is it? It's the increased rates of Transportation (from the higher amounts of photosynthesis) the foliage gets sacrificed in favor of transporting nutrients to the buds.. Yellowing in later flower phases can be a good sign :) it can tend to mean the plant is processing the nutrients it is intaking.

@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, thanks for the info! I assumed it was light bleaching due to it being only on the parts closest to the light and it happened so quickly after lowering the light. Always learning lol
