Need help 2 questions.
1. I started giving ripen on the 40th day of flowering, isn’t it early? (Plan 20 Ripen, 7 days of water, 3 days of darkness.) It will turn out 70 days, according to the passport 60-65.
2.I am embarrassed by small buds?
Could it be mixed with low humidity 30-35? But very hard, very.

Howdy Yaba. Let's keep er' simple👍
You have awhile to go in flower it looks like (3-4 weeks ish? Just a guess from your trich pics). I would not stop your normal nutrient feeding yet. Using ripen can't really hurt you, but it is very early to be using GHE's ripen. It's usually only used for the remaining week or 2 all the way up until harvest. You can continue to use it, but please go back to nutrient feeds as she still has very high needs at this stage of flower. I would keep up on your nutes until 7-10 days before harvest and before you start your flushes.
You buds are not embarrassing...quite the opposite. Understand that the final 3-4 weeks of flower is the time when your girls will put on the most cola weight and swell right up. They will should get much, much thicker in the coming weeks and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised😃. Also another reason why they will still need those nutrient feeds. They're going to budding up fast and need that extra push.
Lastly, your RH is perfect... Lower RH in bloom is HIGHLY suggested as it reduces the risk of bud rot. It's recommended to never exceed 55% RH and to keep it around 30-40%...EXACTLY where you are. This is an optimal condition, do not change it, lol!
Hope that helped you my friend. I use GHE line and if you have any further questions please send me a message in PM. We can also talk about your harvest time and how to base it off the coloration of your trichomes for an optimal, potent harvest. Breeder notes are a good benchmark but may not be specific to your grow. Trichs are where it's at! Cheers and good luck. I hope to talk at again, soon😉👍

Question 1 - Perfect timing
Question 2 - Your buds are fine they're just not completely developed yet, you'll know when they're ready when 60–70% of the pistils have turned dark for the highest levels of THC, along with the trichomes turning milky or cloudy.

1. From the pictures you've provided your plant looks far from embarrassing, actually very good so well done. Ripen should be used the week before flush, exact time and days doesn't matter too much. So yes I think you will be correct on harvest time.
2.lowest humidity possible is fine. I can only get mine down to 40% but as low as possible is best. Leave soil to dry for 3 days before harvest. 2 days of darkness can improve but not necessary.
🌱👍😁

Hi YabadabbingDo
Mate Normally flowering time is 60-70 days for Orange sherbet.
I Always add a week to this.
So you actually probably just on time if you planning to do flushing as most professional growers will recommend.
You are day 40 flower so you have 20 days to add Ripen that's makes 60 days add another feed to it and you will have about 63/64 days gone.
Then do your flush and 12/14 days only PH 6 water. It will take you to about 77 days.
That looks good enough By suppliers recommended Flowering time.
Humidity
It could affect bud size slightly.
Most recommended humidity level in Flowering stage is between 45%-55%.
Article which should tell you what I mean.
With very low humidity, the plant is drawing water from the soil at a very high rate, and if the humidity is too low, the plant is unable to draw water at a rate equal to loss through the stomatal openings. The result is that the plants close their stomata, which slows the photosynthetic process (due to carbon limitations) and leads to stress, slow growth and compromised yield. Under severely low humidity, the plant will wilt and die because even its protective mechanisms cannot offset the water stress imposed by the lack of atmospheric water.
Conversely, if humidity drops much below 50%, crop photosynthetic efficiency may be affected and yield will suffer.
If you have more questions happy to help I'm PM.
Hope this helps.
And good luck with your grow.

Does anyone have experience with colas that have been severely light deprived, yet still have trichs?My ghost nug grew up on the side of the tent blocked from light. She has trichs, looks super light yellow (see pics). My question is, wouldn't this be desirable? Less chlorophyll to wait on before smoking? Has anyone tried to maybe light deprive parts of their colas?

Auto NOT flowering!My hempy is still growing faster and greener than the soil grow, but she's not flowering! I see preflowers, but no buds forming. The other plant has been budding for a week. Any ideas? I could try a dark period but don't want to interrupt the 24/7 schedule of my other plants.
