Dat's a lotta light yer huckin' at er.
She's a big girl, and she'll still chucking out new pistils, even though the trichs are amber as hell. For reference the back wall of the tent is 2 metres across. My photos never seem to do justice, Might re do my white balance or something, because she's come out a lot darker than she really looks.
One thing I don't get though...I see all these TD grows where the end result is just big light green ball of bud with next to no fan leaves...I still have fan leaves coming out the wazoo even after taking 20-30 big ones off that were shading popcorn and lower bud sites. She's been flushing over a week, probably run her up until next weekend so a bit over 2 week flush. Each plant i've harvested I've taken 25% of the wet weight as an estimation of dry weight...and its gone like 4-5-7-8. I hope this girl is a 10, and i look forward to using what I've learned in this grow to take 4 plants to this size/level next time around.
These 5 gallon buckets aren't big enough for me. Not even close...I was losing close to half a bucket per day in late flower per plant and while trying to look after 5 seperate buckets it was nigh impossible to have the EC dialled in to a point where I was replacing water and nutrients every day in every bucket. So I was mixing a bit strong, and topping up with water throughout the week, then topping up nutes when the EC was dropped a bit by mid week... The problem with that method is every day half a bucket of water is gone, and the half that's left had close to double the nutrients. The result was leaf tip burn...on almost every leaf.
So next time around I'm going with 4 30 litre pots, which I will have to make some sort of custom lid for the net pots for ( any suggestions...?), I will have the 4 pots hooked up to a 5th pot to act as a brain, with 19mm hose connecting all buckets to the brain at the bottom, and then i think 13mm diameter lines with a low/adjustable rate water pump circulating in to the buckets...gravity will feed back to the brain. I have all the plumbing fittings already sitting there. So I'm good to go. Also gotta get a 4th mars II 900w, bringing my power draw to like 1600w... Which hopefully isn't enough to attract attention...
I've also sort of half considered getting some smaller low wattage 3w LED panels to use for seedlings and the early stages of veg, to save on some power, and then blast then with the 5w units when they have filled out/started to flower/grown past the footprint of the small efficient panels.

She looks great bro! TD's do have the potential to keep on expanding so there is barely any leaf visible it just takes time for her to swell towards the end. I can't see any reason why she wouldnt fatten up more with all that light directed at her now - Whats the actual draw she is receiving? (sorry if you've mentioned details of the lights already). I'd say flush her until every fan leaf is yellow, by that time she should be nice and chunky
