Lights come on in less than an hour, I hate waiting half the day to check the plants out!
Hopefully more noticeable swelling and pistil recession has occurred I really want this to be done... the fact that I have some amber trichs here and there makes me think I have got to be close but I don't want to miss out on any extra swelling.

I can't believe what kind of Stupid mistake I made this time, I had a CFL ceiling light I use for general purpose turned on and you don't know it's on when you have the HID's going... turns out that one light was on all night in the flower room so there was never a dark period. Glad I am on Day 56 just in case anything adverse could happen I am almost done. Probably be OK but still freaks me out, there's a Day 10 flowering plant in there too so if anything that would be my only concern and I don't really care for the strain anyway. I left the door open once too a few weeks back, but everything was OK there.

Another shot of some Trichs (lower branch) there's definitely some light amber or turning ones in there, lots of cloudy I wonder if I should just yank this sometime tomorrow or go a few more days. Tough decisions for me... kind of want to ride it out a little while long but really don't know this strain.

Looks great Gribbs. I would say she is really close. Did you use the dry koolbloom on this one? She looks nice and fat for sure.

Yep, ran the liquid KB for first 4-5 weeks or so and have been running the dry at 1/4tsp per gallon ever since. Right now it's being fed really low PPMs with as little N as possible and sweetener/molasses but don't think I am actually going to do a straight water flush at all just keep the feeding really weak. I did run Florakleen over night a couple times though so I think that probably covered salts and such.
Have to give credit to a high-yield strain though, but I like to think the KB helps a bunch.

I swear it looks more swollen today since I took those photos... Just fed one last time, 820ppm possibly crazy but I am trying to kick these into high gear. I will be backing nutes way off again tomorrow or following day and just run the flora nectar last couple days. I will report on the smoke taste and smoothness honestly so we know how this method works out.

3.5 hours til lights come on, eager to see it again. I think I better back the nutes way down today as of last night they looked more swollen than previously on the same day when I took the photos. This thing is starting to look pretty close to me so I'm thinking within a week.

Just changed the bucket (again, seems to be daily with me at this point) now it's feeding on shy of 300ppm which is mainly sweetener plus what was in it yesterday diluted down about 70% w/ straight water.
They're looking 'chunkier' now calyx sweeling less of a wispy look so I think I'm getting close. Will continue feeding next to nothing or even taper it down a little lower until I chop. I have actually chopped 3 lower branches (that were sagging to the point of inversion) but did not think it was worth mentioning now I have a couple more lower ones sagging further from the extra weight I might take out too just saving the full main ones for the last few days.
