I think she's ready......

Invest in a microscope and take out most of the guessing game. They really are not that expensive. RadioShack 9.99-14.99 depending on location and worth every penny.

I have a 420 Scope being delivered tomorrow. Thanks

Thinking about going dark in 2-3 days for 36-48 hours then chopping. Any advice?

I sir would say not..

 

[Picnicbill]

What's your idea of when to go dark?

I sir would say not..

You have a beautiful plant But she's not done yet. Probably 3 weeks out...how far into flower is she?
I don't think you should stop feeding her just yet though.

Started 12/12 July 17, started flowing about a week later.

I'd wait too. Check out the harvesting pinned post, it's spot on- I let the sugar leaves and buds turn a touch brown from trichs turning amber before harvesting.

Where is the "harvesting pinned post"? Sorry if that's a bad question....

If you stop giving her N she will use the N stored in her fan leaves, basically eating herself. That's a good thing.

I started noticing brown tips, thought it might be beginning of nute burn, but perhaps it's eating the N?

Not done yet. Clean up the room, hair in first pic

You are correct, sir! . I pride myself in a clean room - must have jumped up and attached right before picture.

As close as you are to chopping, I wouldn't really concern myself with a few brown tips, just keep feeding her bloom nutes ( no, or very little N ) and watch her plump up and keep an eye on your trichs.

I'm all for a dark period and I usually hit 24-72 hours depending on when trimming best fits into my schedule. I didn't always do an extended dark cycle and I can't fit it into every harvest, but when I do the plants that have been in the dark always seem stickier. Just don't forget to keep your temp, humidity, and airflow monitored. My flower room never shuts down, so I have a controlled, dedicated dark room, but I have friends who just leave everything on but the lights and use their flower room for the dark period.


Looks nice!

That's what I'm planning - Everything the same in the flower room except lights - even adding a little fan, just not blowing right on her.....Thanks for your input!

Do you have a tried and true drying formula? The ideas definitely range here at RIU from upside down... to racks... to switching between brown paper bags and back drying in the dark room - all with no direct air flow on the buds. For 5-8 days. You?
