Hey guys, just want to share my grow and get some feedback. I went total newb on these plants so many times. My biggest problems where over feeding, and overwatering which turned into under watering. I think I have hit a good stride now though. It's very hard to not over tend my ladies. I'm now worried about my harvest window. I want to make sure I get a good 2 week flush in. I know it's probably super hard to tell thru my photos but if anyone has any input at how much (approximately) more time I should give them to mature?

Heres my setup:
*4x4 tent
*1 900watt led light (back right corner timer from 12pm - 11pm)
*2 450watt led lights (middle left and right front timed 11am - 10pm)
*1 XL Xhale co2 bag
*1 dehumidifier inside tent
*1 Intake fan & 1 exhaust fan (no filter, I love the smell)
*Soil grow (my own mix w/live worms)
*5 Gallon fabric pots
*Advanced nutes to supplement 1x week at 1/8th bottle strength
*Daytime temps @ about 80 degrees
Nighttime temps @ about 70 degrees
RH @ 25% - 50%

Strains grown:
2 Blueberry Pie
2 Tangerine Dream
2 Critical Cure CBD
(Planted on 7/25, flipped to 12/12 on 9/11)

The girls smell so damn great! The Tangerine is a very pungent skunky smell with the thickest, most frosty, tightest buds. It's worth noting they are under the most powerful light. The one directly under it still has almost all white pistils. The blueberry smell a bit spicy and fruity. They grew the lankiest with smaller buds that are really dense too. I'm having alot of trouble keeping the branches upright even though the buds are so much smaller than the other 2 strains. My 2 CBD plants have the least amount of light intensity. However they are growing thick, frosty, and dense like the tangerine just smaller. They smell soooooo good. So fruity! The seeds where small and white. They took 3x longer than all the others to pop
grew runty in veg. They have really come thru in flower but could have done better. I did my best to top, fim, and defoliate in veg to keep a even canopy. Throughout flower I have been defoliating and pulling popcorn buds. I give them pep talks, sing them songs I make up for them, and explain the ways of the world. I truly have done my best. During veg I had 2 nute problems I fixed quickly plus the over/under watering.

So anyways I have in my estimation dun good. But I always want to learn more and be all I can be. So let me know what you guys think. I mean really let me have it. Unless your a meanie pants that just likes to tear people down. If so kindly fuck off :) any input as to how long I should wait til i start flushing would be hugely appreciated. I shall pass along any compliments to the ladies.

Looks like what you're doing it's working for you, and that's all you can ask for. Those ladies look great, keep up the great hard work.
IMO I would start on the 28 of this month and flush for 2 weeks that should get you to about harvest time.

Thank you for the reply :) I'll start flushing on the 28th and if they need longer to mature I dont think it will hurt to go a bit longer without nutes. It seems like of they get overfed they grow much slower. Do alot of other growers use live worms too? I figured they would aerate the soil, eat dead debris, and feed my plants. My only problems are that they have multiplied and I get divers that stink up my tent from time to time.

Worms are great! I don't usually use them when I'm using bottled nutrients, but if yours dont seem to mind then keep on doing what you do.
