....but its the best one I have had so far. Luckily with help from RIU over the past bit, ive learned alot. Plants looking so much better. Even though, I had a PH issue that came up, since that has been fixed haven't lost a leaf yet. Now for the fun part, since I can't use my microscope anymore(everything looks cartoonish for some reason) I cant look at trichs, until I get a new one. So just putting this out there, what do yall think? Is she getting close?

FFOF Soil
Unknown Auto Seed
Bright Light(non blurple)
tap water(now ph-d)

Actually, learned from @Budzbuddha on just top dressing. Haven't used any nutes, other than the FFOF. I do have the beastie bloomz and cha-ching, and was debating on using....but doesn't really look like they need it. Been plumping up quite nice. I have always had a ph of around 7.2....then something changed in the last few months, bc now my tap water is at 9.3. Thats why its not perfect I do believe. Soon as I got the ph back to normal, haven't lost another leaf.

I have no comments or can offer no help. I wanted to drop in to say, that they look very good, albeit small.

I must ask, what's growing in the other pot? i just see green sticks.

Yeah, my previous grows never plumped up like this, even the last one where the trichs were

Im assuming I have about a week left. Can't wait to get a new microscope, but what I could tell today is that its like 95% cloudy, with less than 1% amber if not less. Any opinions from the professionals? Thank you in advance.

Yeah, looks like the main cola, all the hairs have recedded, but the lower ones there is about 25% left to recede. So best to wait till whole plant is 100% receded?

You can harvest just the main cola, but I always give another week when I want to chop.
You see, when a organically grown plant reaches it end it will stop taking up nutrients from the soil. Even tho nutrients are available is cannibalize itself and continues to draw up water. It's still capable of photosynthesis and making glucose. The soil microbes that bonded with the plant send signals to the plant to make more glucose. In the ripening phase when buds swell up and pack on more weight than you thought they're capable of. Yucca, starchy rice wash water, or even potato starch will stimulate the microbes even more. Could be the difference of twice the end dry weight.
When in doubt, wait it out. I'd give it another week.
