Day 42 of flower.
They smell great now. Very fruity, almost like fruitloops. The dank is starting to show aswell.
I top dressed half strength Power Bloom by gaia green. That is half a tbs per gallon of medium, 2.5 tbs per 5 gallon fabric pot. Just spread it evenly over the surface and slowly water it in. I water a little before and after I top dress. I used only Power Bloom 2-8-4 because it still has a small amount of nitrogen, which seems like enough for the final 2-3 weeks. No need to overdose the soil with nitrogen during the end of flower. If I had worm castings I would topdress some, mostly for the microbes, not the nitrogen.

They are still very thirsty. I should be watering twice a day, but I don't. This morning the far left plant was flopping over from dehydration, perked up after a watering in time for a photo.

The tops are ready for harvest but the lower nugs could use another week. I don't want to harvest in sections. I like to chop at the base and hang them all upside down in the tent so the apartment doesn't smell. What do you guys do? Should I just wait and get more amber Uptop or just harvest and sacrifice some cloud down below?

Tops vs bottoms, trichomes.

Y'all are talking about the new MH lights and I thought I'd throw in my two cents.

I have no experience with LEDs, but based on manufacturer recommendations for operation and my own rudimentary research, I am surprised by this TSW2000 (300W). I have to keep my 4x4 tent temp below 78 or the leaves "taco." I have to keep the light 26-27" away or the leaves get "frowny."

Based on what I have read, that's unusual for cheap LEDs.

This is at 100% eight weeks into veg, 75dF, 50%RH, 27" high:

They're growing about a half-inch in height per day or two (since I got some minor nute issues dialed in).

Day 62 of flower
I'm happy with how this organic dry amendments and water only run went. Not my smelliest batch but that could be the genetics. Next run I might try some seed sprout teas and molasses during flower.
The end of my lease is in 5 days and we're moving so I'm going to chop these girls down before "sunrise" tomorrow. That will make it 9 weeks of flower. It'll give me 5 days to dry in the tent and then I can trim the nugs into a paper bag to transport to the new house. Once I start curing I'll post the yield on here.

These pictures are from day 60 of flower. They look like they want almost a week longer. I don't imagine much has changed with the trichomes. I have to chop regardless.
