Believe it or not, she will fatten up even more. Don’t worry about “ over harvesting time “ , it literally never happens.
Ive let plants go as long as stop drinking anymore …. Plant done as done . Let it do it’s thing , she’s chunky.

Today is end of week 6. The other Super Skunk has recovered from the FIM and is growing nice. Looks like the regular green color is showing up so they are growing out of the extra Nitrogen I fed them from the 1-1-1 Dr Earth juice. I have figured out the pot weight and watering thing finally. I figured I was underwatering them. Lesson learned for next run. They perked up big time when I watered the fabric pots till a little puddle came from under them. The sucked it right up within 5 minutes. They were thirsty.

The other autoflower that has Indica genotype is starting to switch to flower. I also defoliated both skunks and the bushy auto thats transitioning.

I flipped the light schedule today to 12/12 for the photos to go in flower. Next time Ill make sure they are all autos or all photos. The autos can take more light and itll affect final yield but the skunks yield is supposed to be higher so I dont wanna ruin them.

The FIM growth is just a mess. Its crazy. I cant even figure out how many colas will form from it yet.
I also noticed weird coloration on the leaves and noticed translucent protrusions like hooks. Turns out the Sativa dominant thats in flower is starting to get trichromes. Leaves resin glands are starting to puff up too.

Heres the latest pics. First 4 are the runt White Widow Autoflower. Shes 42 days from seed. Supposed to be 10-14wk grow time ILGM.20211014_045146 (1).jpg20211014_045136.jpgScreenshot_20211014-050555_Gallery.jpgScreenshot_20211014-050755_Gallery.jpg

Pics of them somewhat defoliated. I still love this bushy Super Skunk that I did with regular topping. Such a uniform bush.
second pic in the back is the other White Widow Auto that had Indica genotype and bushed like the skunks. Shes stretching right now still. The one skunk has medium sized fan leaves and the other Skunk has huge 9 finger fan leaves. Bigger than my hand now. Im going to need to defoliate some of those giant fan leaves soon. I cleaned the underneath up first though. Didnt phase them. No shock. They are strong and healthy so far. No insects yet. I had to move the A/C into the room to bring the temps down. Got it and the dehumidifier working in concert to handle the extra heat and humidity.
Temps now are 75 Daytime 69-70 Lightd off.
Humidity is still higher after lights are off even running the exhaust 24/7
It was 50% Lights on and 65-70% lights off. I noticed others who had issues with the RH going up during lights off
Still figuring that one

"Lights off" means temperature drop (as you've noticed), and that means RH will rise. That's a law of physics (cooler air holds less moisture, so in relative terms humidity increases).

Your exhaust fan is probably too small; you should have no problem to keep RH well below 60% with a properly sized exhaust.

The white widow auto is still popping resin glands and more trichromes. I noticed the sugar leaves are droopy a bit. I have given the good watering the last 2 times. She's in 3 gal pot and I give 2 days between watering. Her pot was lighter today so I gave her a little bit. Not sure if this droop is normal from the watering and the resin glands filling up. The buds are getting a little bigger.

The lighter green new leaves that show the excess nitrogen from the Dr Earth pot of gold solution is wearing off. But a few leaves are displaying yellowing tips. Im concerned. Maybe mild nute burn from when they were clawed but some is on newer leaves too.
