Looking good but shes got prolly 2 or 3 weeks left yet. Maybe 4, hard to say really. So full potential wont be for a few weeks yet. They swell the most the last 2 weeks.

I use plain water but im using organics, so i feed about 4 weeks before harvest and then just water til chop. Youll want to just taper back and feed til the end.

Most likely feed up until the last week-ish depending on trich development you’ll have to gauge the cutoff and start with plain water, but Nick and Goodshit will help you along

I usually use plain water the last 3 anticipated waterings usually 2 days apart so 6 days I don’t do a “flush” I just cut off neuts is all

She’s looking great! Awesome recovery!

okay cool i do know about if the the trichomes are cloudy then it’s ready right? but i’ve also heard that the trichomes can be amber too for a different feel. does the trichome color vary by strain as well?

Yes it does, some Sativa dominant strains or pure sativas won't even turn amber at all. So you basically harvest when your at 90% Milky Trichomes. This info I found in my Marijuana Botany book by Robert Connell Clarke. It's an advanced study of the propagation and breeding of distinctive cannabis.

okay so this is a Northern lights strain and that’s a indica right?

lol i have seen some people do the flushing, what is it supposed to do for the plant?
Click to expand...
Absolutely nothing unless you have a buildup or ph issue. There is not any way possible to flush the plant of nutrients. I didnt even flush my first grow because when i started reading into flushing, i realized its just nonsense, because you can not remove nutrients from plant tissues. Its being proven every day now that flushing has zero benefits at harvest.

Luckily treated wood no longer uses creosote as the treatment method I can’t remember what it switched to. Spent 15 years in general construction. Personally I wouldn’t put treated wood in my tent (or in my garden), maybe it’s an old wives tale but it’s one I’ll heed myself. I can find metal alternatives, I used metal planter stands from dollar general with my 5 gallon fabric pots they where $3 each

They are under these plants, about 14” tall they held up fine with 5 gallon fabric pots as well as 5 gallon buckets, if you’re worried about the legs spreading just run a piece of 12 gauge wire through the feet so they can’t open up

That's perfect! I just happen to see those stands at the local nursery 3 days prior to reading that post that's why I mentioned it. I personally don't have any wood in my grow as well, but at 1 time in the 90s I had a wood built room with 12 1,000 light hps and 12 ballast outside the grow room. I never had any issues back then but I also wasn't using wood in any part of my grow other than structural use. I love those Fabric pots they sure make way more feeder roots than a plastic pot, with plastic pots you get that long tap root(water root) that wraps all around your plant.
Plus I like the extra oxygen it gets and the frequency of feedings you can get in as well. Its the closest you can get to hydro while still being in soil I once heard, I thought that was pretty accurate. Your plants look great from what I can see.
