Harvesting in living soil

Hello all, I've tried using nutes in one tent and living soil in the other. The nutrient tent is fading fast and the living soil tent is not.

My main question is when harvesting from living soil does the plant still fade or no since it has so much life in the soil? Or do I just have to REALLY REALLY flush everything out then it will start to fade?

Thanks

This is just my first time doing a living soil of any kind so was unsure about the end stage. Used terp tea, molasses, and mammoth P throughout most of flower but haven't used anything in a couple of weeks.

If you built a real living soil, the terp tea and mammoth p wouldnt be needed. Living soil is about simplicity.
It may still start to fade when it is almost done. How long have they been flowering and how much longer do you think they have to go?

That's totally normal with a good living soil. Because you're not stripping out the feedings/flushing like hydro they won't completely run out. That's fine though.... you also didn't spend the last few months force feeding more nutrients than they can handle.

Week 9 right now getting ready to chop likely this weekend. Sunday is the start of week 10. Some might go the full 70 days.

I know I didn't need to and it's just nature's living soil. Basically an amendment added to roots organic soil and I used those to force feed them in flower just to fuck around since I wasn't doing a full living no till soil with cover crops or straw or anything. Basically a half ass living soil but got great results from it with the additions.

also don't think brewing a tea and adding some mammoth P complicated things. I get that it wasnt only water for the whole grow but I was fine with adding a few things as extra touches hopefully to spruce up the product

I'm about to harvest my outdoor plant today. Totally bottle nute fed. You would never know it was about to get chopped by the look of anything else but the buds themselves.

It doesn't need "the great dying" to be done.
