Sorry for the delay. I haven't abandoned the journal. Just a bit slow with my photo editing.
Week 7 was a bit frustrating. Some of the buds were showing signs that they were basically ready for harvest but others definitely were not. The plants were definitely a bit overcrowded here and I tried to do some light defoliation to address that. However, I can only access the tent via one side, so it was very difficult to reach some areas. I was sliding under that net, like I was working on a car or something.
The level of aroma definitely amped up during week 7. I started to flush at some point during this week, per best practice recommendations from NFTG folks.
I also ran into an issue with the watering schedule. I think one gal every other day was good when the plants were too dry, but it eventually turned into an overcorrection. I added an extra dry day and it seemed to even out ok. I did have some light leaf rot, but I think it was more from the crowding than the watering schedule. Ultimately, the roots looked fine.
