New Grower First time grower, critical purple and tangering dream

Day 87
I was rooting for shorty since she was stunted early on, and she came through in the end! We harvested shorty just a little bit ago, and hidden behind all those leaves were some meaty buds. I was originally going to wait until this weekend to harvest, but the leaves were telling me otherwise. I have really enjoyed this grow so much, and love the fact I can help my wife with some good medicine! Here are some pics of shorty today.

I was toldby @DABaracuss to wait for 30% to 50% amber for sativas, and most buds looked like this.

I know I will lose some water weight and some from pulling stems, but am overall happy with this harvest and all the plants combined was 1053 grams wet weight. I wish I could get an accurate dry weight but my wife is loving her medicine, so that is not possible. I have learned a few things in this grow that should help me in the future. Such as, harvest early for a good morning smoke, don't be afraid to flush the plants, add a pk booster earlier in the flowering stage, and let the plants go longer to see those buds swell. Im already looking forward to the next grow, sour kush and pineapple express. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to give advice or encouragement. See you in the next grow.

I've been wanting to start a journal since finding this site. Have found lots of great information here, and comb through the grow journals daily. Though my wife started us on this path with getting a medical license, I have taken up the care for the plants as she could not let go of the watering can. Honestly glad because I am enjoying the growing experience so far, just over 5 weeks in. So the grow is in a 60x60x80 tent, with 2000 watt full spectrum led(400 actual watt), in fox farm happy frog soil, using fox farm nutrients. Am growing 3 autos, 1 critical purple and 2 tangerine dream that sprouted Sept. 18.

Have been giving them grow big and big bloom every other feeding since the third week. At the beginning of the fifth week they got grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, calmag, and molasses. I keep the RH between 50 and 60 with a temp between 75 and 85 Fahrenheit. All feedings are ph'd to between 6.0 and 6.5. They seem to be doing great so far, with just some minor tip burn. They have all started flowering, and the only one that is questionable is one of the the tangerine dream my wife overwatered in the second week. She is small at 14.5'', but very bushy.
