Day 69 - 3.5 weeks since flip

I was on the ball this morning. I woke up early, made 6 gal of RO and hit the tent at lights-on. As it turns out the girls didn't need the water right then so it turned into a late-morning water anyway. It was a good watering though... felt right on time.
Per ILGM.com (where I got these fem seeds) the BBK flowers in 8 weeks and the GDP in 9 weeks.
Per my Stoneington's feed guide I should do my last top dress of EWC at the mid-way point of flower, and my last top dress of Fish Bone Meal at the beginning of week 5.
Seeing as how the two top dressings nearly line up I'm planning to do both at the same time near the beginning of week 5, so about a week from today or the end of this week. That will be it for feedings until the end of the harvest!
Last time I did the EWC top dress I mixed it with some fresh soil, but I don't know if that would help or hurt at this point in flower so I'll just mix it with some pearlite or vermiculite instead and hope for less sludge than last time.
I haven't seen any progression on those "burnt" leaf tips but then again it has only been a couple of days. I did, however, find some more of those ugly bottom leaves. These were all in the same area as last time... lowest leaves on the plants, mostly in the dark, mostly smaller leaves, mostly on tertiary stems. We can definitely rule out me having spilled on them this time around. I'm pretty careful when watering and these leaves were too high up for me to splash. There weren't all that many but I'd still like to listen to what the plant is telling me.
I was going to retake this picture in more natural light but my wife decided to "help" by throwing away all my trimmings while I was watering. heh. I just gave her a kiss and said "thank you."

The other thing on my mind right now is harvesting and drying. When I started this venture I had it in my mind that I could just harvest the whole tent at once and then switch to drying in the same tent. I suppose it could still work out that way but it seems unlikely. I don't have any other good spots in the house for the dry so I'm considering picking up an inexpensive smaller tent to squeeze into the same room. Just thinking out loud here. Anyway, here are some pics!
