Yea that's a really good girl you have so you may wanna think about cloning her. You still have time but it's a winner especially since it flowered fast too :) sunlight won't hurt it at all long as it's during the light cycle only. I don't know what brand nutes your using can't remember if you mentioned it but eventually you should cut the grow back as she won't need much nitrogen but don't let her lose her green color too early. As fast as this girl is flowering you will see some trich production in a week or so. Also the way the nutes schedule is set up may want you to use the grow so look your nutes up see if the have a feed schedule which the should but if everything is good don't change I guess. Peace

Awesome thanks bro. I'm using earth juice. Just using that mix feeding a gallon every two days.

Just looked your nutes up bro and your buddy was spot on about how much to use. After 4-5 weeks of flowering stop using the grow completely and just use the bloom. Here's a link of the feed chart http://www.hydro-organics.com/home/index.php?categoryID=558 Remember this is not set in stone for every strain and size of plant. Read your plant is best way to tell if you need more or less. Keep it up bro and you'll have some beautiful buds in now time :)

Thanks so much man, the last two days have been killerr. I had to roast a bowl and slow down mentally and realize how patient I'm going to need to be with her. From seed and me Vegging her I did 6 weeks then flipped to 12/12 to force. She showed sex a week in. Now the nugs are just growing. I'm pretty sure it's done stretching. She was like a foot tall when I flipped and is now at least 2 1/2. I love you guys lol

Update Day 19 Flower

Temps are steady between 70-80F always. Still feeding a gallon every two days. The tips of the leaves seem to constantly be burnt? I don't think it's the heat so I've been debating cutting back on nutes the next water. She finally has some frost forming :-) bring on the trichomes! Check out the pics, let me know what you think :-)

There's very very little smell. I run my fingers along the stalk and smell my fingers and it's just skunky. The smells trapped in the stem! Haha. Idk if I vent well or what lol. And you dont see burns cause I clean her up before I put my pictures on here for the sharks

I'm just going to quick ask a couple more questions and get opinions on her. Like I said before there is what I think is nute burn, and I've been thinking about a couple things. Do I stay on the gallon every two days feeding schedule? I have a smartpot? 3 gallon that allows you to water from the bottom and she sucks it up. I fed her 1/2 gallon yesterday morning then finished off the other half that afternoon. I chose not to feed any from the top this time as I have some fungus gnats that blow donkey dick but they aren't harming her so whatever. Anyways I've been wondering if I should switch it up. I never thought I'd get this far to be honest, so now I'm kind of...making sure I don't fuck it up. Should I start with half gallon a day now? Then that goes back to my nutes. If she's having some nute burn do I add nutes every other feeding now? My earth juice chart says every feeding, I've been using "strong" amount of bloom 2tbs per gallon, still pretty strong amount of grow at 1tbs per gallon and 2tbs of catalyst per gallon. I also understand trichome development varies from each plant and didn't know if I could add more bloom to help flower/trichome production? Idk just my mind going nuts. Thanks for any help!! One love

First pic looks like it was touching the light . I burned my WWxAmnesia with the bulb and it looked just like that.
as far watering goes , you should water when the soil dries out and do it at once. don't water in the morning and come back and water again
in the afternoon . water till you get some runoff and leave her be until it dries out.
You just need to check on her less often to start seeing the difference :P haha I should know

Herb she's looking very good bro. I don't see any nute burn on her at all that burn was from the light just Dabolili said. Also like Dab said don't water her everyday water her enough then let her dry out almost all the way then water again. Your temps not very high so you should be water once every 3 days maybe two depending on how thirsty she is. The further into flower she will become more thirsty so watch her. Keep feeding her just like you've been feeding her but you should be cutting out the grow nutes soon after the third week of flower. There should be enough nitrogen in the bloom for the rest of flower. If she starts yellowing after you cut the grow out then add half strength grow for a couple more weeks then cut it out again. By then she should have enough nitrogen stored in her ok. Growth will stop once she's done stretching so she shouldn't get too much taller after that. Only thing now is to watch those buds SWELL LOL ;)

Update Day 23 Flower

I was just about to feed her and then came across the whole red stem thing. I've noticed a lot of my fan leaves have red stems but I thought it was normal? Now I'm wondering if I have a deficiency of some sort. I have attached some update pics as of today showing the stems and my girl. Thanks for any input!!!!
