@GreenBean, I think they need about another week too now. The one right next to your fence especially looks like it's close the verge of being 'ready'. If you're real worried about it being stolen or something though, you can also always do a partial harvest, and then compare it with a final harvest when it's fully done, to see if you have a preference on the harvest date. And also provide some 'insurance' :)

@GreenBean, I personally have to agree with @MagicMan. She doesn't look like she'll be ready in 5-10 days tbh. Some of the hairs are curling in, but those buds look like they could fatten up a LOT more. Amber trichomes on sugar leaves don't matter, only trichomes on actual buds are what you should be looking at. My best guess would be still 2 weeks left at least...maybe 4.

@MagooYFZ, Using organic ingredients means then that you also need to have a somewhat living soil, with bacteria. So you can't use straight tap water for instance, because it would be chlorinated and kill bacteria. If it's been allowed to sit at room temperature for around 24 hours though it should be ok. To help increase bacterial activity in the soil you could add some worm castings or a worm castings tea. As for what's deficient, it looks like they're missing Zinc. Possibly the start of phosphorus deficiency as well considering the reddish tints in some of the veins / stems. The soil could be deficient, or the nutrients could be locked out due to PH not being at the levels it should be.

Looks like you have at least phosphorus (reddish stems / veins everywhere) + nitrogen (bottom leaves yellowing and dying) deficiencies, if not other deficiencies as well. Measuring PH is a must, as it affects the uptake of all nutrients. You need to follow @Horticulturehobbyists advice, otherwise these plants aren't going to survive. If you are trying to avoid buying fertilizers, you can try experimenting with getting phosphorus from sources like boiling banana peels or nitrogen from diluted piss (https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-how-and-why-to-create-homemade-organic-fertilizers-n764). Results will obviously be far less predictable though than with nutrients which have recommended dosages.

@Denzul,. Thanks for the kind words! I'm looking forward to harvest this evening :grinning:
