Leaves fell off

This is my 2nd grow. I didn't keep a log. Can't remember the strain. Not sure what week I am in. Almost all the fan leaves fell off 3 days ago. I believe I over nutted her. I am now trying to salvage what I have left. Should I rip it and start drying? I think by looking at the images of her buds she has another week left but I don't want to rot.

Advise please

A lot more than a week if you can. Weeks?

What in the mystery science theater 3000! Yeah a few more weeks.

what's the aluminum cup doing? agreed with above post few more weeks

The solo aluminum cup is my next seedling. It's a jack Herrera auto.

Here's a couple photos

Please continue to post here. I'm excited to see your hillbilly bushcrafting Jerry rigging skills blossom into subtle craftsmanship as your progress along your journey of cannabis cultivation is set adrift on the currents of experience.

Is it a couple photos because there are 2 plants in the pic?

I need more details on the setup. The duct taped cup on the chopstick rails is just the tip of the iceberg. What other hidden gems lie in wait!

I appreciate everyone's responses. I started this mystery science 3000 experiment on the request of my wife. She said instead of paying 140 an ounce why don't you take 140 and grow me some weed.

140 isn't much so I started to research and picked up a few things off Amazon.

I have 2 40 watt flat led lights up top. A few grow lamps I already had. I grabbed some miracle grow, (new seedling in fox farms) some nutes, a couple mylar blankets, and a tomato cage. Attached are a few photos of the materials. I came in under 140 bucks for all the supplies. Not sure how much weed I am going to get out of this plant but I am hopeful my next grow will produce a little more.

It's the best I could do on a budget. Any suggestions? I understand I should probably get better lights. I have a airmega air filter that does an amazing job moving and cleaning the air(already had it as well).

Here are a few photos of everything. If I get a few ounces out of every plant I grow I am doing ok.

It's been a lot of fun and look forward to reading and learning from all of you.

So you have the seedling in 12/12 light cycle?

Yes. It's a jack Herrera auto. That's how I did the one growing which I cannot recall what it is other then an auto. I am aware it supposed to be in 16/8 cycle but I only have these lights and do not have room to make another grow area. This is what I have. When I harvest the one I will up the lighting. Sounds like a couple more weeks.

Cool beans, I know nothing about autos. Do you have drainage in the aluminum cup?

Yes Sir. A couple holes in the bottom. It's only 2 weeks old. Should start to grow now. I wished I could give it 18/6 or 16/8 but it's getting 12/12 because that is what I have and what I can give it.

Two weeks left, maybe three. As long as your environment's RH is 45% to 50% you do not need to worry about rot. I do not see a hygrometer in the pics. You should get a combo hygro & thermo for monitoring RH and temperature.

It's on the wish list. I forgot to add I have a humidifier that I already had. I have it set at 50 and it takes care of itself. I periodically check the temp at the top cola and it comes in at 72 degrees. I suspect being in at rv night temps probably drop to 65ish even though I have the thermostat set to 70.

Who knew a weed could be so difficult to grow. Lmao. It's been a fun ride and will continue to learn and grow. Figuratively and weed
Haha

lol.... MAMACITA!

No one said anything about my nutes so I. Guessing no issues. Using them as recommended on the bottle.

I also read a lot about flushing. One study said that in a controlled taste test subjects were given flushed and unflushed weed and the unflushed was being chosen more then flushed so what is it? Flush or don't flush?

No need to flush

Thanks. I was leaning towards that. Figured give the buds all they need to harvest.

A couple suggestions for next time: do some low stress training to create a more even, much lower canopy with your autos - you can get bulkier harvests this way also. I would move from liquid nutes to dry amendments also. Good luck!

Also, one you have a decent harvest, convince your wife you’ll save even more money with a bigger, better light and a tent. Worked for me, and indeed, I haven’t bought weed for well over a year.

Appreciate you. I plan to try LST on the jack.
Yeah 80 watts isn't enough but at 20 bucks a light 40 in total it fit my budget.

Dry nutes? Like what ones do you recommend? I really like these as it doesn't raise or drop my ph levels at all. Stays right about 6 to 7. And they seem to be providing what's needed. Now if dry is easier and bigger yield I am all ears.
