I think she's got 3-5 weeks left. I'm going to keep running my current nutrient mix for another 2 weeks or so, and then I'll switch from Big Bud to Overdrive. Anyone have any thoughts on that? This plant seems to be bulking up quick. The root system is MASSIVE, taking up most my bucket space. I may reduce the size of my net pots next grow to give me a little more depth available in these 5 gallon buckets. 6" net pots are nice, but they take up at least 1/3rd of the height of my bucket, so my roots get massive but then there's little room for actual water. I'm thinking they might get even bigger if I have more available space in my buckets. I'm also doing some changes to my grow tent. I moved the exhaust fan inside the tent to reduce noise, and I replaced 4 little (cheap) inline fans I had in all 4 corners (2 intake, 2 exhaust). In their place, I put 1 massive 200 CFM fan from iPower. Very nice fan! Powerful and quiet! I also used a bunch of duck tape and some heating ducts to connect a dehumidifier. It takes air out from the top of the tent, goes through the humidifier, and then blows back into the bottom of the tent. I wanted to focus on controlling my tent conditions instead of my whole basement. So far, this system is working great for humidity! It's also adding about 5 extra degrees of heat (in conjunction with the exhaust fan's heat, no doubt) -- which is welcome. My heat is now closer to 80 degrees F, which I think is ideal. The downside of this is that the extra heat buildup on the tent has increased my bucket reservoir temps. It got up to 71.6 today. Because my reservoirs are separate 5 gallon buckets, a liquid chiller wouldn't be simple or economical. I'm trying to think of ways to cool my air further instead. I might try some rubber tubes running somewhere cool. (Places engineering cap on.) For now, I'm glad it's under 72 degrees and I am also adding Hydroguard. Sensizyme should help, too.

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.
