It’s the middle of week 16, and for the third day in a row, the plants have been receiving only reverse osmosis (RO) water. A week ago, I added a 240W LED light to supplement the 400W HPS; there’s noticeably less pale-green foliage in the center now—I plucked off what was left. In the DWC setup, I’ve topped up the reservoir twice with 5 liters each time (the plants drank it all), so I suspect the nutrient concentration is at a bare minimum now. The DWC plant has 8 beautiful, dense colas, and the one in coco has two. According to the strain specifications, they should be just about ready. I’ve considered flushing them with 15–30 liters of RO water, but I’m not sure if I have the patience for it. The wait is getting harder—day by day, the buds are becoming denser and more resinous. The scent is intense; my hands got sticky the moment I reached in to trim the "popcorn" buds from the lower sections and spread out the branches for better light exposure.
