She looks so delicious, happy harvest buddy ☘️

Plants look like they were hit with a snow storm 😁

@JazzBerries, I'm not turning the humidifier on because I'm concerned with bud rot. I already made enough mistakes on my first grow! Yes, I'm a little sad about the buds not getting real big. I haven't really smoked for 20 years except for here and there, so I'll have plenty with enough to give away. I might not be able to experiment with edibles very much. I've dried a couple buds that I cut accidentally or were on stems that I pruned and it isn't "one hit shit" but pretty on par with what was going around when I was a kid that was good weed. Better than most of the stuff we bought. I want to start up again right away, but I don't want to leave styrofoam in the window for the air ventilation exhaust. Thanks for the look, and good luck with your grow!

@MinnesotaMarijuana, Ha, I'm actually running the dehumidifier at night to keep it below 50%. I have tanks and plants all over my living space. I saw your comment about aquariums and definitely agree about how most people test pH. I love API's test bottles. Cheap, accurate, but cumbersome to use regularly. Beyond the obvious, you can use it to test actual soil ph. I make a supertanate solution by vigorously mixing soil samples with distilled water, than covering with cling wrap. Once it separates, you take a sample from the top clear layer with a pipet or syringe or just decant it carefully; it might take 24-48 hours maybe far more if the dirt is mineral rich/clay. Test the clear samples like you normally would with API's kit. (Take it with a grain of salt, I got the idea from someone's undergrad research that found API to be more accurate than off the shelf soil specific test kits and reasonable compared to professional testing.) I look forward to seeing your harvest. Good on you for sharing!

@MinnesotaMarijuana, I should have been more specific. I'm on day 137, but they sat in veg, under minimal care, for a very long time while I finished the last grow of autos. It's been over 8 weeks since I completed the transition to 12/12. Mine are looking CRISPY/fade starting to creep into the sugar leaves. I don't know if I can keep it up without risking bud rot from dead plant material getting closer and closer to the buds. It sucks that I'll probably end up with another batch of slightly under-ripe, not fully realized buds, but its all a learning process. Now I know to take it VERY EASY on the UV and light this late as well as keep the bloom nutrients flowing until the end. Also modified my home mixed potting soil with additional coir and vermiculite to help the micro-nutrient/mineral content and prevent compaction. Cheers, take care, and enjoy the legal bud!

@JazzBerries, I'm thinking fairly soon. Yeah it is drying up around here as you probably know. I'm hesitant to turn the humidifier back on until I hang them up. The Purple Ghost Candy is still pretty lush underneath and growing a lot of popcorn buds. I bought a cheap jewelers' loupe off Amazon and the Purple Ghost Candy has some browning, but the WW still seems kind of clear, but I don't think I'm seeing buds getting much bigger. I'm thinking possibly this weekend. First grow so I'll have a base line I guess. Day 122 here today.

good luck!🍀

Looks great!!!!

@Seedsman, Thank you, I'm really impressed with the genetics of your freebies so far. Hope it smokes well too!

You clearly know what you're doing, but I've never seen black or grey mycelium. You sure that mass of "good mycelium" isn't dead, a fruiting body, or a mold? Myc doesn't really lift above the substrate until its trying to fruit, and we wouldn't call the fruiting body myc. Any chance at ID? Also, damn, we really are in sync. I grew NLA last, WW now. Happily Minnesota organic grow!

I'm on day ~55, Seedsman WW, also in MN weirdly enough. One of mine responded very poorly to the UV coming on in week 6 and are looking about as crispy as yours; guess it wasn't healthy enough to withstand it. I'm looking at starting harvest this week, but I'm going to have to use a rolling harvest. Lower nugs just aren't looking ripe yet. When do you think you'll harvest?

Weird... I'm in Minnesota growing seedsman NLA, indoors, in 2.5gal of soil amended with Dr. Earth HomeGrown and flower girl as well. Mine popped on the first of July. Crazy how in sync our grows are...Congrats on the legal flowering!
