Indoor Mephisto/Nightowl Grow

[Jean-O]

Do you guys cut out silica in late flower? The nutrients I use are kinda dependent on using silica to maintain a proper pH when the base and micro nutes are added. If I don't use the Protekt silica I have to add a butt load of PH up to get my ph where It needs to be. Will using the silica the whole grow have any bad effects?

That's another question that has evidence that supports both sides of that debate. I personally would cut it out but I'm using bro science and my personal preference to arrive at that conclusion.

I don't but I only add it to my rez once a week

I will experiment more with mixing up a mix that doesn't include silica. I personally just thought that using the silica would be better than pH up. Thanks bro

These Plants definitely revegged. The center main cola's on the SS and BSSR are done. Like they need to be chopped. If I do a progressive harvest do you guys think the plants will still finish ok?
The Sour Stomper started to smell like a Bowl of fruit salad left out in the sun so I got worried and started to check everything for bud rot or a dead branch or something. But everything looks good. The GG4 I grew last round smelled kinda like this. So hopefully it's just the way she says hello.

This Skywalker BX1 is getting out of control. I am going to have to do some heavy pruning. Maybe even supercrop if it gets to that point. Sorry about the photos I don't have the most steady hands.

I haven’t done it yet but have had plenty of folks recommended taking tops and letting the lowers mature more.. me personally I just take the whole plant when the majority of it is ready

It's crazy the center started to flower then it grew a shit load of side branches.
If you look close in this picture in the center the main lil stalk is dark and ripe but then all those side branches took over.

Normally I like to take the whole plant also. It's nice sometimes to just be done with it rather than drag it out over a week or two. But these buds in the center are really ripe. Almost 20 percent amber trichomes.

It is starting to get out of control.
I told myself just grow a few . But no I had to plant 4 originally lol. I could have easily just planted 1 and trained it out to fill up the entire tent . These ladies will not stop growing. I switched to bloom nutes awhile ago but they are still getting bigger. I need to get to the CDLC in the back right corner to defoliate but I can't get to it. Any suggestions for getting to the CDLC? I don't want to have to move the gigantic Skywalker BX1 but idk what else to do I guess this is a good problem to have tho.
