New guy. First attempt at auto’s

:smoking: she's hanging tough! Good on the soil pH, now she needs a little time to recover and build up the buds some,... she has a ways to go still, lots of white pistils still; brown ones are die-off from stress, or foliar treatment?- I forget! Colored ones are from normal shut-down..... The stress and poor nutrition have set her back a bit,.. never mind what breeders time claims are, take it as a general statement based on optimal conditions and grow,... real world timeline is typically 1-2 weeks off,...
Let's see what another week brings,... are you feeding full strength, or diluting? I'd run half strength,...
Those trich's, are they on a leaf? If so, pay no attention to leaf trich's, they tend to mature out sooner; it's the trich's on the bracts (wrongly called calyxes) that should be assessed, and in several places over the plant to get an overall idea where she's at,...

I haven't done any foliar treatment but your thought on the pistils dying off from stress makes total sense. It seems to be maturing pretty quickly in the past few days and it's sucking up a good amount of water. 2 feeds ago was 1/2 strength bloom nutes ph'd to 6.8. Last feed yesterday was plain water ph'd to 6.5, figured I'd start to cleanse/ flush the soil for harvest which I'd think is 1-2 weeks out.
I've checked the trich's in multiple spots and they all tell a mixed story but predominantly cloudy.
Thanks again

Here we are at day 69. Soil ph seems to be stable now. I’m getting anxious to harvest. How far out do you think I am?

You look like you are entering the cropping window to me. Now it depends what type of high you want.

Thanks for the reply. I’m gonna give the trichs a good lookin at tonight and if I like what I see it’s going in a dark closet and I’ll harvest tomorrow.

The buds are looking really well mate. Nicely turned around

You could chop now if you like but i think theyll fatten up a little more. Also meant to give a more couchlock body high if left longer.

.... cloudy = ripe! ... I'd still give her a few days, no nutes to "cleanse" out, clear the vascular system of unmetabolized nutes,... if you can let her dry out some too by harvest, that'd speed drying,... don't bother with the dark cycle, I don't think it helps much with indoor plants unless they were in high heat, strong air movement,... this is not about better THC production, it's about potentially better "recharging" of lost terpenes overnight,.. outdoor plants get hammered with Sun, wind, UV, temps,.. all take their toll on the volatile terp's,...

Thanks for all the help along the way. Tough decision. This is only my third grow ever, first auto. I let my last photo go to a good amount of amber so I’m still well supplied with couchlock buds which I generally prefer. Sometimes I dig a little boost of energy from a smoke. I’ll see how I’m feelin after a couple ipa’s and a bowl.
