I think we're coming into the final stretch! [First Grow]

Happy Holidays to everyone! I've had a lot of help from this forum over the past month and now I think we're coming into the final stretch.

Last week I had a nitrogen Def. and bloom nutes were burning out my plant, on advice from RIU I balanced the Nitrogen and added calmag but also cut back heavily on bloom nutes, this eventually became a Potassium def.

I then built up the Bio-Bizz Bloom nutes with a dilution of banana tea (I know it's questionable as a nute but on some level it does seem to make sense that banana left in water would provide a good dose of K)

First I fed with 1ml of Bloom and 1 ml of Banana tea, I also added humic and fulvic acids in a 1 ml to 1 litre solution to increase uptake which slowed the def but didn't stop it

24 hours later I fed again with 1 ml of Bloom and 4 ml of Banana tea and another 1ml of Humic and Fulvic acid solution, which gave a healthy green colour to the leaves not effected by the def and some of the leaves higher up returned to a healthier colour

I'm thinking I've got one more week to build up the nutes ready for the fade to begin?

Do we all think I'm correct about having another 3 weeks?

Auto Flower Day 56 (9th week since breaking ground)
Coming into the 5th week of Flowering
Pistils going orange but new white ones growing every day
Trics appear to be going white

Maybe three weeks or so. Don’t let you plants fade keep them a nice healthy green color. The last two weeks just start feeding a bit less each time.

Will do thanks I was planning to flush but I see that's controversial, good to know I can keep feeding to keep the balance right in the last few weeks

Flushing is for toilets. No controversy about that.
I know this can cause pretty intense debates, I honestly don't know enough to engage in whether to flush or not, but it does make sense to be feeding all the way through,

3-4 more weeks.
Thanks for the feedback guys, today I trimmed a little off the bottom and watered with plain PH'd water and Humic acid, she seems to be a much healthier colour except where the def. has effected the leaves. Can I assume this won't go back to the original shade?

Patients grasshopper. Patients.
Proving to be the hardest bit of the grow, I'm seeing a difference though the wait is definitely adding more to the bud, the white hairs have slowed quite a bit but each day the buds have a nicer quality to them, there's a lot of larf that was beneath canopy so I have to admit I've taken some samples because the temptation was real :blsmoke:

Nice high, I do feel I'll benefit from waiting she's not as couch locky as I like but not to fair off, I'd never be able to speak for the taste because I'm smell blind :lol: :wall:

Photos are from today, she fell over at the start and I feel maybe she was stunted a little but I'm very happy with my first attempt, ordered some tweaks for the grow for next time, an extra 23W bulb going in and I'll plant the seedling deeper into the soil and start LST earlier

Love this hobby already :D

Still seeing tons of white pistols. Couple more weeks.
Hey Man, Could I get your thoughts again?

She's starting to look tired all round, but even today she's thrown more white hairs and I think I see some end of life Nanners forming , I haven't flushed at all but I'm thinking one last heavy water then let her dry out completely and crop next week?

Sorry to keep asking I'm getting impatient :oops: Unfortunately getting a loupe/microscope is proving impossible, we're in complete lockdown still :wall: can't even get to my plug which is making the wait even harder :weed:
