image.jpg The garden: day 55 flowering. Phatt Fruity in the front left and right, skunk 11 in the rear left, white lavender rear right. Skunk/NL leaning just to the left of the middle. Not really impressed with the way the buds are plumping up. I left way too much undergrowth/popcorn bud sites on the bottom, stealing all the energy away from those beautiful main colas!

image.jpg This is issue has spread a bit, bit this is the most affected area in the tent. It is t all this bad... Just began very light nutrients again after just over a week of flushing. Mostly the bloom booster and cal mag. Not much of the 4-3-3 flowering stuff in the General Organics Go Box. Figure it's going to be time to flush them soonish, so I don't want to overdue it. The skunk #11 looks like it will be ready sooner than the others. Any advice on knowing when to harvest without a pocket microscope to look at trichs?

Wow man, your girls look amazing hey! You are looking at a pretty impressive yield too! Top work mate :-D
Thanks Mo - I'm having trouble visualizing how much bud is in there because of the thick undergrowth... Probably going to wait longer than needed to harvest just to give the popcorn buds a chance to fully develope

Yeah it's not easy to work out hey. Are you able to do a staged harvest? Take the top buds and let the undergrowth go for another week or so? I find this helps to fatten the popcorn buds :) either way, well done man, they came out real nice!!

EDIT: I've been doing some math wrong on the flowering period length. When the most recent pictures were taken, they were at 48 days flowering. NOT 55 days. My bad ya'll. and am I losing my mind, or did the the "edit" function on individual posts disapear recently? Anyways, flowering first started on 5/17/16

I was considering a staged harvest but it would complicate things a bit. Guess I should do some more research on drying methods, but in the past I have just hung the whole plant structure upside down (after trimming leaves) with fishing line. It's so easy... I'd also really like to keep the strains separated.

Figured out my math was off and I was only 48 days into flower at last set of photos. Bought myself some time to fatten things up!

No I have actually never run an HPS. I have done a couple of lazy cfl grows in the past but this is the first real grow I've attempted with a tent. I really liked the low heat aspect of LED, and with the light I bought only being 99$ on Amazon right now, it is a bargain
I was sucked in by Amazon and found myself buying one of those cheap 45w led panels, I've found it great for veg but not used it in flower as of yet, due to moving house I have had to downsize dramatically from a full 20ft long loft to a 2x2 tent.. (For now anyway).
