Yah thats what I know - i KNOW that lol but my noob brain started reading a tricomb article and it was saying when the red hairs curl and the tricombs get milky - time to cut and my shit kinda looks like that no? Granted my buds arent dense yet
You’re tripping. When your plants look like this, then they’re just about ready. Get yourself a jewelers loop to check trichomes.

Didn't recognize your running DWC. I have no advise on flushing for that.

RH is one aspect. Temp is another. Keeping it in the dark is another. Jarring at the right time is yet another. There is a ton that goes into it. So much in fact that half of it will be forgotten by the time your ready to dry.

I dont mind going over it with you but it should be informed closer to chop imo to be put into practice.

haha nah bruh im not one of those - i do the work lolz so my plan from what i know now - is the next week go hard on the PK to fatten buds - then flush (still gotta research that) but 2 days before chop day - go fully dark for 2 dys to boost tricombs and then hang dry in tent at 65 deg at 45 RH for 6-8 days the bottle em up 1/2 way in mason jars w thar hydrate pack thing - im getting screen trays to catch everything for hash and rosin - rinse - smoke - repeat lol

ok bet - i just ordered the jewelers loop - so i notice your leaves are discolored - beautful btw lol should i expect the same of my leaves in the next 2 weeks? I see mine are starting to go yellow and i thought it was a calmag/nitro defiiciency but i see now that all the girls do this at the end?

I had colors start showing up about week 6 of 12/12. I ran 12/12 for 84 days. Plants did discolor but weren’t getting brittle until just before I started to harvest

I've been growing RDWC for 5 years now, and I suggest at least a week of just water to finish.
When I ran multiple strains using a common rez, it was impossible to do this because of the plants finishing at different weeks.
What I've experienced running single plants in dwc buckets is that they smell/taste better when I let the plant senesce(fade).
Of course, this is all subjective but that's my opinion.
p.s. I finally have a mono-crop running in my main room so I'll try it on my big system.

wait i didnt see this comment - holy shit bro - week 11?! omg - ok so i thought 8-9 max - are yours autos? mine is. Your shit looks amazing - what were you feeding em towards the end? you do soil or hydro? what harvesting process did you do? give me your brain mwahahahahah
I grow 100% organic in soil with no bottled nutrients. I pretty much just water plain RO water, no ph or anything. My soil mix is FFOF, Malibu compost, EWC, dr earth 4-4-4 all purpose and 3-9-4 flower girl, and last I mix in perlite. My plant was a bag seed of some gelato 41 I was smoking on. Harvesting process consists of cutting all the branches and drying the whole plant. I leave all leaves on to extend my dry period. Today was day 7 of drying and my stems still are bendy.

here is one of the small tops I cut and trimmed up to smoke on.

nice ill do the same then - chop and hang dry with everything to extend the dry. i rock RO water too but i tried doing coco for my first grow but the shit would dry out sooooooooooo fast unless i gerinated in a 5 gal bag. hydro is so easy lol plus.......the living soil smell.....holy shit lol

Dude

If you think your plant will be ready in two weeks your making a GRAVE ERROR

It's your plant, but to waste a this time to just harvest is just plan sad

Bruh - I think you misread some shit brotha - im 4 weeks into flower right now - I said in two weeks i begin flushing, and then 2 weeks from that is chop day. Which made my entire estimated flower time at 8 weeks - again, not sure where you misunderstood what i said but im already 4 weeks into flower - gimme some shit you been growing..it must be good lol- im just learning from the vets here man
