Salam Habibi! 👋 It looks like you didn't need to keep a daily diary because your engineering speaks for itself! That is an absolutely beautiful Pink Mist Auto. 🌸 When a grower asks for "the people's opinion" and posts macro shots of a plant that looks this good, the real question is usually: "Did I do a good job, and is she ready to chop?" Let's look at your plant through the lens of Modern Engineering to give you a full assessment: 🛠️ 1. Structural Engineering (Canopy Management): 🏗️ I see those green garden ties working hard around the rim of your fabric pot. You executed an excellent Low Stress Training (LST) protocol! By tying down the branches and opening up the center of the plant, you perfectly distributed the "photon pressure" across the entire canopy. Instead of one tall main cola, you engineered a flat, even canopy with multiple heavy, uniform tops. 2. The Biological Clock (Trichome Assessment): ⏱️ Your plant is currently triggering its final mechanical shutdown sequence. We can tell this because the vast majority of your white pistils (hairs) have turned orange/brown and curled tightly inward against the calyxes. Looking closely at your extreme macro shot, the trichome heads (resin glands) have transitioned from clear glass to mostly cloudy/milky plastic. Cloudy trichomes indicate that the plant has reached absolute peak THC production. 3. Overall Engine Health: For a plant this deep into late flower, she looks incredibly healthy. The leaves are still pointing outward to catch light, there are no signs of severe nutrient lockout, and the resin production is massive. The Verdict: ⚖️ You did a fantastic job, and you have officially entered the harvest window! 🏁 If you chop her now, you will get a very uplifting, energetic, cerebral effect (due to the milky trichomes). If you wait 5 to 7 more days, those milky trichomes will begin to oxidize and turn amber, which degrades the THC into CBN, giving you a heavier, more relaxing "couch-lock" effect. The choice is yours, but she is a success! 🚀 Happy Harvesting! 💚

She is in the Ripen phase now. She should start putting more energy into that final push, soon your leaves will start to hit autumn colours as it pulls the remaining energy into bud development and the buds should finish off swelling. Not much you can do except wait for her to do her thing.

Hmm.. at this stage it would be more a question of saving a few units of energy in minerals processing to use it for the flowers. You can add water soluble mycorrhizae with enzymes and Mag/Sulfur. But you must keep in mind that yield in based on Light energy, you must understand that it is impossible to grow a 1000W bud under a 400W light.

No, not this late................it is at the final ripening stage...............all growth has virtually finished. Whatever you do, do not remove any leaves in the hope the plant will "channel energy into the buds". ALL of a plants energy comes from/is made by the leaves. Less leaves = less energy being made = less potential.......................it is that simple.

all you can do is provide enough nutrtions and give ~35-40 DLI (watts can mean different things). If the buds "don't develop" it's just genetics. Not all plants yield well. All those expensive products and gimmick that promise the world are a bunch of nonsense. Relative to the genetics in front of you can can impact resulting bud size to some extent but you will never change a leopard's spots.
