Something new to chew on. I had an extra mini hygrometer that I compared accuracy to with the Therm-Pro hygrometer I have in the 2 x 2 and it was off by a couple of degrees lower and maybe 3% lower on humidity so close enough. I hung the probe off of the net under the canopy to see what the environment was like. Everything is looking good fumunda!!!! :LOL:

Girls continue to fatten up so not much to do on my end. My job at this point is Plant Bartender. I make sure they get the drink they want, when they want and keep the humidifier reservoir topped off. Hopefully I get left with a big tip at the end of it all!!!😁

Trichs are still building. Starting to see the pistils darkening slightly and starting to pull back in.

Just watering the grass.......

I've been tapering down my solutions. At peak I was feeding at 1000ppm. I'm currently feeding at 800ppm. 1/2 strength cal/mag and the rest is straight base. No amendments or additional inputs.

Trichs are starting to get milky. Pistils are fading and darkening. Flowers are starting to foxtail

Canopy isn't really changing much so I'm not going to post a picture. I will post a picture of one of the flowers. I was thinking mid February for chop but it looks like I may need to go a couple more weeks. Some of the colas are starting to lean over a bit but not enough that I need to trellis them. Still tapering down nute solutions. Currently feeding at 600ppm but will be dropping to 500ppm after this next feed.

I think I may be close to harvest. Still showing new pistil but far fewer. Also seeing leaf fade starting. I'm going to guess maybe a week. Maybe two.

Yes Sir! Eddies just raring to go!!! 😄

I think I'm hitting week 12. Trichs have all milked up. What I'll be looking for are the few amber heads that form. Once I see amber starting up I know that I'm like a week away from chop. I don't like my smoke with a lot of amber. Maybe 10%? Leaves are starting to fade also which is another sign I'm close.

We'll see in the next week how the leaf fade and trichome development play out but I don't think I'm going to go past a couple more weeks. As you said, new pistil is just the flowers giving it that last push to try and catch some late season pollen flying around in the air.

It's been raining for the last few days so been having some problems trying to get humidity down below 50%. Even with the rain I've been able to hover in that area. It's high now because I just watered but lights on RH has been averaging around 52%. Forecast is calling for more rain so I don't see myself being able to drop it below 50% even with the dehu going. Trichomes, for the most part are all milky. Just waiting to see some amber heads show up although I'm tempted to cut them down next sunday. I flipped these on 11/18. That means I'm in week 14 going into 15 from flip. If I start the clock from when I first saw flower I would be in week 12.

Just starting to see some fade happening in the rear back corner although most of the leaves are starting to darken up so more than likely fade will really start to come on in the next week or so.

Under canopy. I didn't leave much room between the soil line and the net line as I knew access would be an issue so I did a preliminary lollipop when they were young and let them go from there. Looks like not too much larf.

Thanks. Did some experimentation that worked out well thanks to all of you!!! Learned some subtle techniques that made a big difference. Gonna retest those techniques on the next run just to verify but so far she's looking good!!!

Didn't want to wait for amber to show up as I was getting into week 15 so I went ahead and cut them down and hung them. Now the fun begins with trying to keep them as close to 60/60 as I can. Humidity shouldn't be a problem, but temp may be as we're gonna see some sunny days coming up out this way. I took a lesson from @Zen_seeker and decided to re-set the net to be able to spread them out and get some air in between the flowers but it's pretty damn dense in there so I have a feeling I'm going to have to separate the branches from the main stem and line hang them. You know you grew some weight when one of the main branches splits off the main stem because the flowers are so heavy!!!😁

Set the fan to high and pointed it at an angle to the back wall so that I get a good swirl going in the tent. I'm going to try and run them at around 45% - 50% humidity the first few days then raise it back to 60% to get the initial moisture out of the plant.

I'll start removing fan leaves in a couple days depending on if I have to separate branches from the main stem or not. If I have to remove them from the main stem I may do a rough wet trim on each branch before I line hang them.

That was more work than setting up the original damn net! Phew!!!😅

It's Miller Sierra Nevada Time!
