I will be lucky if I can with stand 7 days out of drying

dont make that mistake, i did and it ruined the smell of my bag. smelt like wet grass. it was fucking annoying. dry slowly, cure even slower. use large jars and a hygrometer. depending on size of buds let it dry for 5-7 days naturally. then place it loosely in jars. try not to handle it too much as you will rupture the trichomes and they contain the thc

sounds about right, you want phosphates, and that is a pretty high phosphate nute

by pruning you mean?

Don't prune too much now

You'll turn them into naked sluts and they may go hermie on ya!

Looking dope man, like hella healthy, congrats and +rep for the thread.
What's up with all that low growth? As long as you don't get rid of 25% of plant mass in 2 days, stress levels remain low.

I'm not thinking about using urine as a natural substitute for N

It's perfectly natural and been used for thousands of years. A study showed that it grow just as well, and sometimes better than commercial ferts. If you don't have any infections, dilute it, and use it within 24 hours, you'll be good to go. I watered mine 1 part urine to 15 parts water, save the plant from Nitrogen deficiency.

Gonna put urine in with the nutes every other feeding is that a good idea or should I do it every time I give my plants nutes???

Wouldn't mix it with the nutes....urine is strong enough to use as a nute in itself. An example of a decent schedule would be alternating...on one watering use reg nutes, next use urine, the one after that just give a thorough watering where you see the run off coming out a bit (don't let the plants sit in filled catch trays)...rinse and repeat. Also, make sure you rinse off your catch trays once in a while. Salt from the urine will build up on them and your roots could end up being exposed to concentrated run off salts.

You could also run an experiment if you wanted to...feed some plants only urine, feed some only commercial ferts, and then feed some a little of both. That way you could find out what is best for you. Don't know if you feel like keeping track of all that though. Let me know how it goes!
