it depends on how the plant is finishing, but we will see in the pics, but it could be a little too cold for the plant currently thus the stumble and quickly finishing ?
Ok time for pics. The close-ups are of āterry.ā @99PerCent From my observation, 75% cloudy/25% clear. Should be ambering up here in a week or so. Iām gonna give it one more rez change then chop it.
Day 40F
If anything, itās been a touch on the warm side. Cab temps have been a steady 80-85 even at night because weāve been having to run our kerosene heater to keep warm during this cold snap outside.
Good to know. 
I think itāll be ok one more week. I have good airflow and my RH even in the cab is like 15% right now.
On a side note, Iām ordering one of those USB microscopes or clip on macro lens, holding my little carson and the phone at the same time sucks ass.

Ah, give em a few, theyāre not all bad looking yet.
Unless of course, if its time for research.
Well then, in the name of progress, you may have to sample one early, right?

There doing fine, they will make it to the end no problem. Still say about week and half or more out, as its still throwing plenty of new pistils

Gotta agree with @Mr.Sparkle.
Iād estimate those to be approx 1-2 weeks out still.
Watch for botrytis (in the main colas especially) like the guys said. But if thereās no big swings in temp, or high humidity, you should be safe.

Right on, Thank you guys for all the words of encouragement.
An encouraging sign, Terry is beginning to not be able to support her own weight lol. The outside branches are starting to sag closer to the floor of the cab.
Just changed my rez, lighter feed this time, only 15g per 5 gallons. Should be somewhere around 600-750 ppm I didnāt check it this time lol. After this grow is finished, iāll need to order more MegaCrop.
Needless to say Iām sold on the MegaCrop. I do wonder though if I should have been adding supplemental cal-mag. Iāll trust the vendor when it says it is an āall in oneā for now, but when I start new plants the seedlings wonāt lie.
@ReikoX I think I will run the auto fem mix next run. Since I know they will for sure be females, Iām only gonna start two seeds, and use 3 gallon smart pots this time around. I want to get some distribution drippers for my blumats so the watering is more even, but iām telling you, Blumats are amazing for someone who canāt tend to their plants every night. (and/or lazy like me)
I may have severely stunted my autoā¦ I forgot to water it lol. We will see if it comes back, if notā¦ Guess I could always chop it up for extracts.

Seeing your grow and a few others mentioning it, im curious to give it a go just to see, but shipping will probably cost more than the amount iāll grab lol.
Edit: Noticed they had a 100% discount on the 230g bags, so just ordered in a bag, guess we will see.

Yeah, thatās what Iām using the free 230g bag. My shipping was only 2.77 usd lol.
Iām about to order the big bag, if you end up liking it, I can ship you some.
2.5x that for me for shipping, but to give it a go, im game make sense from marketing perspective and its something id do
Sweet, I was thinking of popping a couple of them to throw in veg. 3 gal is perfect for an auto IME.
Basically day 45F
Overall view, The nugs are so big and dense. I seem to be getting much better results than I did with my 400HPS.
Kind of a higher angled shot.
You can see āterryā is well into consuming herself. I would say I was suffering from deficiencies but the other two SSH in the cab look good. (Some leaves have some signs of deficiencies but remember I cut my PPM way down in anticipation of chopping soon)
The biggest nug on āTerryā Lighter for scale.
Not even the biggest nug on the SSH plants, and itās bigger than the lighter in all dimensions.
A close up of one of āterryāsā buds. Fuckin cat hair lol.
And the auto never recovered, it pretty much dried/died in place. I cut all the stems and have it in a large sealed tote to try and equalize the moisture/slow down the full drying process. That means my little cab is free to start more seeds.

plus your holding the lighter infront of the bud so defintely bigger due to the perspective shift.
Looking good, and yeah you can tell terry ran into some issues, but they are gonna all happily finish out over the next couple of weeks.
Good job.

Yeah, I realize holding the lighter in front makes it ābiggerā lol. I need a third hand for photo ops.
Terry could have just been a picky girl, the other two are fed with the same mix, and arenāt showing anywhere near the damage.
Iām pleased to say that I anticipate having enough smoke to probably do another complete run before I run out what comes outta this harvest.

i ment the bud will be bigger than pictured as once you go side by side then you get to see true perspective. 
lol

Totally with you. Once dried and trimmed iāll post some ābeautyā shots with the same lighter for scale.
I never got around to installing my carbon filter, and I can smell the plants from outside when I get home from work lol. Once iām home for about an hour, I canāt smell it anymore! The nose is a funny thing lol.
5 Likes
Yeah the mind just blocks it out as normal. My filters are just enough that if i had a really pungent strain going that i would only smell it in the last couple weeks of flower, and even then its minor that a standard air purifier can deal with it. When the carbon runs old though thatās different, the misses usually notices first and ācommentsā about the smell lol

47F 1 down, 2 to go.
Chopped Terry. Kinda early I know, but by the time the drying is done, Wifey can start using it and we wonāt have to buy any. Iāll let hang till stems get stiff/snappy then cut buds off stems, weigh, and jar it up.
Overall iām pretty pleased! About a week ago I took a small nug off Terry and let it dry, told the wife to try it a couple days ago, she reported back (I was on the road) that it had a nice mix of body/mind high for her, and it tasted fine. So I knew worst came to worst I could chop it at any time. Itāll only get better with cure. I use 62% boveda packs in a large mason jar. Burp for an hourish a day at first, then less and less as the smell gets better. (Seems to me mine always start out smelling like wellā¦ wet plant? I donāt smart smelling the good stuff until itās good and dry)
My trim method is kinda lazy, I cut off all the fans I can easily get to at the stem, then just kinda chop everything flat with the bud. Basically anything that isnāt covered in frost, goes. My fingers smell like a mix of citrus and pine right now lol.
The other plants will get plain phād water for 2 weeks or until I get impatient and chop them too. Havenāt even looked at their trichomes yet though, not in a hurry now that I know I wonāt have to buy any.
Edit: Random note: Even the small bottom nugs were dense. Didnāt see this when I was using 400w HPS.
Second high edit: LMFAO Iām not gonna crop it out, but do you guys like the wifes Condom Wreath sheās making for her mom lol. Good times.

Is that what the kids are doing these days? Condom wreaths! 
Is it like mistletoe, if the wreath is above your head and your under it, you get to f*ā¦nevermind lol
In all seriousness tho Jelly, nice happy looking buds. Iām agreeing with you that its quite early for a chop, but completely understand being done buying from outside sources. Looking forward to the smoke report

Told you already, but that little green dot next to your thread title gets me every time. Fantastic show @Jellypowered.
Condom wreathā¦lolā¦Iāll let everyone else have at that one.
Going to be a sad and happy day when that cab is empty.
Cheers
