I am mixing my nutrients following the Advanced Nutrients grow schedule. However, I am adding the nutrients to the reservoir only up to about 150ppm. Also, I started seedlings with CFL ~7 inches from plant -- am switching to LEDs from a height of about 40 inches; will bring it down to about 24 inches over the next week. For anyone interested, I have 3 ViparSpectra 300W lights and a PerfectSun MINI light (running some comparisons -- ViparSpectra seems to do great for vegetation). I am doing 5 gallon bucket DWC with a 4'x4'x6' tent. I am using air pumps that are over 950gph -- these are acting as my "chillers" since they keep the water temp right about the same temp as the basement air temp. I realized this was the cheapest way to chill my water -- just boost your air pumps!

I'll have more pictures up by Wednesday...but curious how long you think these need? 1 week? 2 weeks? 3 weeks? Seems like they could fatten up a bit more...

Hi there! What a beautiful garden you have here! I believe you're 20 days away from harvest window, you stil have loads of white pistils which are not curling yet, and your buds are not as fat as they could be yet. The magnifier/microscope will tell you better than us but you can wait 7-10 days before looking at the trichomes. I'll be around, good luck with these monsters!

I just switched to Flawless Finish. Trichomes are cloudy, but not seeing any amber yet. I'm not really looking for a couch lock feel, so I am thinking I might be able to harvest on Monday (4 days from now). Any thoughts? Appreciate your input!!!

10 to 11 weeks is the expected autoflowering strains time to harvest. I usually harvest when thricomes are cloudy, which is the optimal point THC wise. Amber thricomes are degrading, sub optimal, I think you can harvest right now if the thrics are as you say, if in doubt wait a few days.

Got this plant trimmed today -- took me and my buddy 3.5 hours!! We did a rough trim job, and I will clean it up once they are dried in 3-7 days. I have the humidity down to about 40% -- I use a small 2x2x4 tent for drying. I'll take some more photos and mark the harvest once I have them dried and weighed. Check back in a few days if you're interested in the results! Thanks to everyone for the help on this grow -- it is much appreciated!

Thanks @@@Athos! I'm going to try and do a @Stick rig haha. Get a picture through my loupe somehow.

nice grow! looking into starting with hydro and seeing yours makes me want to try it even more, did that one plant cover up the entire 4x4 tent?

@Dirtydraggel, it’s doable - just very tight. After about week 5-6 they are hard to control their size, especially with DWC. In soil, you can stick a dowel to aim buds straight up. Maybe you could pull from the ceiling of the tent? I dunno, it’s a bit harder. Surely some plant training would help, but it is definitely tight. I have to get on my hands and knees to crawl back to the back plants sometimes. Not ideal. But it works, and is doable.

@@Chi_Town_White_Boy, damn, got 3 tents right now all 3 different sizes trying to keep 12 plants going at once (legal limit) and finding them to be pretty small since I need to squeeze 4 in to each tent pretty much. Thanks for the insight, might have to get a few more tents or a bigger one.

@Dirtydraggel, it definitely could have! Somehow I managed to fit 4 plants in my tent by staggering their start time. The two that started later had to be grown without any training or topping -- and even they were a bit starved for light. I was actually thinking about doing a scrog with 1 plant, wall-to-wall. It's definitely doable in a 4x4 with hydro. This grow showed me that 4x4 is too small for 4 plants.
