I can see some frost starting in your pics. Looking good.

If you haven't already and feel like adding to your frost and fragrance of your bud do some research into epsom salt for your soil or foiler spray it. Not telling you to do anything but it is worth researching it.

First time growers can use all the tricks you can throw at them! So definitely noted. For fragrance, I’ve heard of lemon zest on strains like super lemon haze; this is chocolate hashberry. So I’d definitely like to increase the “berry-ness” flavor however I can. So epsom salt may actually do the trick I need it to

Just bring them inside once it gets too cold. Let them go for awhile. At least 5 or 6 more weeks. Veg them longer next time and you'll get more too. Keep it up

Thanks man; I’ve been bringing them inside when the dew point approaches just to be safe. I’ve read far too many horror stories about mold.

Just be careful trying to use all the tricks at once. Take it from someone who has loved quite a few plants to death, keeping things simple, yet effective, is key.

Epsom salts give you magnesium and sulfur. I believe the thought is that sulfur added during flowering increases terpene content in the flower.

Yes to natural sulfur. After 5th week of flower there is no need to add.

Simple is best.

On the basic note, next season I’m planning a fox farms soil and distilled water only plant (barring any setbacks for her), I’m interested to see the difference.

Good plan, a quality soil is always the best place to start from. Do you have a game plan for nutrients once your plants need them? Because the FFOF won't be able to nourish the plant(s) through the entire cycle. If you haven't gotten that far, I'd recommend you take a look at Mega Crop by Greenleaf Nutrients. They have a rather large thread in the Rollitup Advertisers sub-forum where you can see results. I've been using it myself this season and have been very happy with the results.

Here's a link to the product. You should be able to get a free sample, I think he said sample packs will be ready in November.

And here's a link to the Mega Crop thread.

I hope you'll share your grow with us next season. You can only improve from here.

I definitely over estimated my time on 12/12, I think I’m more around 6 weeks. My memory is horrible lately; that is where she’s at now. I’m actually in NorCal just south of Mt. Shasta.

Welcome to RIU.

Indoor guys think in 12/12. Our light is on a timer all it's own. Luckily we do know what the schedule is. This is a good tool for figuring when it's safe to put your plants out in the spring, and about when they will start flowering in the fall.

Keeping a notebook with dates and such will make it easier next year. Or use RIU as a notebook. Then you will be able to look back and see just what week of flower you are in.

Good luck.
