End of week 5 Flower. The yellowing leaves started on day 38 and has increased each day since. I'd say I'm still about 3 weeks away from harvest, I don't really want to but I'm thinking of doing a flush a week early just in case it's being caused by salt build up or excess nutrients. What do you think? does it just look like normal yellowing at the end of flower or something i should be concerned about?

Week 7 Flower. Just did flush today. Ended up giving 1.5gal to blue dream(alot of build up at the bottom) and 1gal to silver haze. Both reading at 600ppm after flush. Blue dream is at 5.5ph and silver haze is at 6ph. Tricomes still milky/clear(will upload close ups next week) Both plants are going strong. It's really interesting how different they are, especially since "blue dream" is essentially "silver haze" and "blueberry's" baby but they grow so differently. The way the blue and purple come out on the leaves and buds of blue dream is crazy. It seems like blue dream is alot more dense while silver haze is bulking up. I really love watching my babies grow, I hope you do too! Any advice you have on anything you see, I'll gladly take it. This is only my 3rd grow and I absolutely love learning more. Furthermore, I don't know if I would have gotten this far without the awesome support from members on this site. Thank you all so much.

Week 8 Flower. I just watered yesterday out of habit, checked the soil, lifted the pots, and watered. Afterwards I checked the trichomes and realized that these girls are ready for harvest! Some of the trichomes on blue dream are already turning amber. I know it's recommended to let your pots dry out before harvest, but where there's already amber trichomes, I don't know if I should wait any longer.

Hey there @luckytrees those are looking great man!!! Its always tough in the last couple of weeks to know if its lockout or deficiency or just the plant nearing the end. Also tough to do much about it at this stage. As long as those buds keep getting fatter and covered In trichomes, it doesn't matter too much.
What light are you using?

Hanging to dry

Harvesting and trimming went way into the night, I wish I took pictures of the whole process but it was a crazy day, I was freaked out because I thought it got too dry after only a week of hanging but as I got closer to the main colas everything was fine. I haven't weighed anything yet, my wife and I were so tired we just wanted to go to bed. I have 2 jars of silver haze and 1 jar of blue dream curing. Burping for 10min per day. I took all the larf (which probably came to about 10g) and put it in a separate jar for us to smoke on while we wait for it to cure. I'll weigh it all and post updates of the final result with pictures in about a week.

Ended up with .8oz of blue dream and 1.8 oz of super silver haze. Going to be switching to 5 gal pots so I can get a bigger yield. Was using 3 gal for this grow. Overall, silver haze did great pretty much the whole way through, the bud smells and tastes great and the high is a nice mellow haze but it also kind of makes you wanna do stuff. Blue dream started pretty rough and I wasn't sure if she was going to make it. She pulled through though, there were some complications during and I think I may have waited to long to harvest as i was trying to harvest them at the same time. The bud doesn't smell or taste super great but it does have a little bit of the blueberry flavor. The high is a sleepy high and not as potent as i would like. With all that said it was a good grow, i got better results than last grow, i learned even more this time around, and I simply love doing this. Thanks for all the comments and advice. I've already started my next grow, doing blue dream again (I'm going to get it right this time) and grandaddy purple (one from my last grow that I struggled with) I've started another grow diary for them. Peace y'all
