Nice Christmas bud! Looks good & I'd say you'd be just inside the window. Prolly would wait for at least a week to watch for any more changes. May still swell more!
Did you top/lst?

Lst all the way. But no I did not top. The sad thing is, I miscalculated and flushed 10 days ago on day 60. Today is day 70. Before flushing soil was 700ppm, lowered to 150. And now I give her tap water with 300ppm. that was a pretty early flush. Now i dont know if she can keep going 2-3 more weeks with low nutes. She drained most of the fan leaves and I peeled them. She still has around %5~ amber trichomes and it has been like that since day 60. Feels like she is stunned.

It is a lovely bunch of plants you have. I agree with everyone else another 2 weeks at least. You should start flushing your plants and watch your buds fatten up.

No need to flush really, in soil. Next time just lower your nutes towards the end.
Check your trichs in a week, bet you'll be good!

Thanks for all the replies. I know I have couple more weeks. Just wanted to be sure if she is doing OK and if she can survive more weeks because of my fail flush.

This was my first proper grow. Gained a lot experience ofc, Ordered OG Kush seeds and ready for next round after this one is done!

old but a good one.............you flush toilets not plants..
Yeah heard that a lot. Wasnt thinking about flushing when I first started this grow. But then I did.

just chopped a popcorn bud. Drying it for a day in hot dark dry cardboard box. Couldnt resist the smell :) also it might give a clue about the current potency and how long should I wait

I also nip samples! I quick dry in a microwave. I'll place a small bud (less than a bowl full),or a few, on a glass plate. Put in microwave and start. Every 5 sec, stop microwave and flip your buds, also dry plate. Cool the buds before you put them back in microwave. I'll try to keep the buds cool but the moisture will be left on the plate. Stop before the buds are dry enough to grind, don't dry to a crisp! I NEVER go over 5 sec! Yeah its not cured & doesn't taste like it but if you're running low before harvest or just can't resist, it'll get you a sample.

i also like the microwave method but if I have time I prefer drying them regular way, only with a little higher temp and a little less humidity so it takes 2-3days max

Agree. I wasnt expecting it to take that long so I kept my supply short and now its christmas and stuff. Hard to find a supplier. I look that on the bright sight. Couple weeks without weed, will lower my tolerance for sure and make my experience with her better *fingerscrossed*
