Only one way to really tell. Harvest a flower dry it out and give it a try. I've been puffing homegrown for 3 months. It's all good at this point.A week later and here we are. Consensus still for 2 weeks out? I’m starting to get anxious about what the right time is. I really don’t want to fuck this up by harvesting to early or to late.and . Under 30x magnification I only see very very few trichomes that might be amber? Could just be a shadow
This opens up a lot of space for conjecture, as a ton of growers, notably newer ones, tend to flood their plants in oceans of Cal-Mag and other nutrients, not to mention the pre loaded fortified soils which are chalkfull o goodies. My question, aside from the Ph raising abilities of Cal Mag carbonate versions also causeing nutrient lockout with the higher Ph (and causing issues with magnesium absorption/usage), are you saying that the phosphorus is locked out from the Ph rise, or from a direct reaction between the Calcium and the Phosphorus... or are we talking about the same beast from different perspectives (as in the Ph rise is a result of the Ca/P reaction instead of the Ph rise coming solely from the Ca actions)? This could help to explain the rash of Phosphorus looking problems when some folks are using a bunch of Cal-Mag... I guess the form of the Calcium ( Calcium carbonate vs nitrate?) could really cause issues that aren't consistent with regular Ca Mg additives.
It's a very interesting issue that might help explain some of the mysterious issues that seem to pop up for no good reason. I'm minimalist and don't have any problems, thankfully, but I also just enjoyed my evening routine and my mind is in the mood for thinking... must have been a Sativa!
I’m am using kool bloom as my pk booster you recommend not using it? Mixing order is armor si, calmag, micro, grow, bloom. I think next week I’ll be cutting out the grow entirely
After the flush I used the Lucas formula for a week then said fuck it and started using megacrop with 1/4 tsp/g cal mag. It’s seems to be doing the trick. I had mega crop laying around and planned on using it for my next grow anyway so I thought might as well. So far I like it and I am even more set on it for next round. I’ll do a journal next roundMy opinion is too much pk. I would run some fresh water through like you said. But i never use that much just a standard 20% runoff then i would feed a light to medium dose of grow ratio only.
That should green up those leaves some for a strong finish.
I stopped using bloom and pk bottles and got measurably better results. Just have to taper of the strength during ripening when the plant doesnt use much anymore.
They dont just use less nitrogen after peak bloom. They use less of everything. The more pk is a myth used to sell pot growers more crap they dont need.
Funny. Both dynagrow and advanced have tests proving the nutrient profile doesnt change much through the full cycle and both still sell unneeded pk boosters.

Thinking about buying 2 of these for the trim. Money isn’t an issue and I don’t have lots of time for diy. Anyone used this or something similar. Pros and cons? ✌ and ❤
I’ll check it out thanks for the suggestionI use the illuminati trim trays. I love dry trimming on a screened tray. I have jars of mixed kief from many different plants. I sprinke some on bong tokes for an amazing full effect.
Just found this vid of the tray.
I may just go with straight megacrop and foliar feed cal mag if necessary. I’m doing coco + ro water so I worry that megacrop might not have enough . We will see thoughShouldnt need cal mag with megacrop. Has plenty along with too many additives in my opinion.
I do have a sample of it but have not tried.
I plan on using

It is getting close, but I usually look for the start of odd looking, single lobed leaves that appear as the beginnnings of foxtailing begin. This works well for Sativas, but not as accuratly as Indica, which looks like what you have going. In my opinion, when the plants are done flowering, they begin to look haggard and the buds start to get pointy at the tips. There really isn't any one sign that a plant is done flowering. Although there is a lot of talk about overly finished buds having less THC because of oxidation and growing too long, the actual amount of loss is measurable but only using a fairly sensitive test. Toking is not a scientific method for determining THC ratios, even though it is fun to try!A week later and here we are. Consensus still for 2 weeks out?

So, what's your opinion on the auto pots?Wednesday update: plants are still plugging along. Spotted a very few amber trichs on one plant. Another plant is quite a ways behind however due to my set up they all have to get chopped at the same time since I’m drying in the tent. I’m thinking I’ll be chopping in a week and a half on not this weekend but next. ✌ and ❤
