Goldie and NUGS got moved into a corner spot near 24K ..... They can stay as long as necessary - Temps are 74 at base of plant with 45 RH so not bad and light is hanging high above

Looking good! WC is growing faster and larger for surely. Sour Livers is gonna be a fast finisher. No big deal at all, but I see a number of useless leaves in the complete shade on both plants.. Dont be afraid to lighly pluck the ones in the dark, they are useless now and only become more useless as the they grow. You will become more comfortable as time goes on with plucking leaves. As a general rule of thumb, plucking a few bottom leaves in the shade is not only helpful for airflow, it allows more light to reach buds. Leafs are like Solar panels...and you dont want to pluck from Top down , start bottom up. If a leaf is in the shade too much, it isnt providing the plant with solar power. Doing a little here and a little there will not stess you plants out. So it is better to start now and go slowly vs waiting til flower is fully engaged. Peace, slow

That will allow them to go longer. However I get the vibe that you dont check Trichomes. Honestly, you are flying in the dark without looking....I highly suggest you grab a scope and start looking at the trichomes to get an idea of where they are by their appperance. You might even see a bunch of Amber on 24 Carat, I have s feeling she is done. Peace, slow

You are correct, and yes very close for sure but I still see some good green and all three still drinking fairly healthy ..... and yes correct on scope, we have one but I’m terrible in using as eyes are challenged - wife said she will look tomorrow- thanks MOB

Again, looks can be decieving. Dont assume anything by first glance brother. None of them are way over, but the 24 Carat might surprise you when you look under the scope with more ambers being present than expected at day 68. Peace, slow.

Not entirely i have never used a loup to inspect trics you can see the change with the bare eye 22 years of growing its really quite easy n simple if u dont try to make it something its not n rocket science its not. Its all personal preference chop early chop late whatever it really doesn't matter at all. Its good to have an opinion but thats all it really is.

You are wrong. Bare eyes cannot tell you when it is done, sure you can guess. You are right about prefernce on chopping time, but I have been growing just as long as you and Autos are NOT the same as photos. Autos Trichs degrade at a much faster rate. Potency, smells, tastes, ect all depend on harvest time. Not to mention there are certain strains that are prone to mold if taken too long. Also different lightting can keep a plant greener looking, giving the illusion that it needs more time. But if you check the trichs, it could be done. Or some lights are too strongx making a plant appear to be "FINISHED", but isnt even close. You can keep harvesting without checking trichs, its your opinion. But to say that it doesnt matter when you harvest is just foolish. Peace, slow

Ok just another opinion! Sorry you dont like mine im right though or can u see through my eyes? I can very much see with my naked eye. Too many people on here all upidy about growing newbies read this stuff n take it as gospel you should at least add in that its your opinion in ur posts ive seen several comments bye you that are just flat out arrogant and unnecessary im not trying to argue im just saying u didnt right the book on how to grow. Its cool though you can tell what i can n cant see.

OK looking this AM with a magnifying glass and took pics with iPhone- all three girls in my eyes are clear and have more time, including 24K and their leaves still have some juice remaining and all three are still drinking ..... They are getting nothing but rain water

Wish I had @Jc420bigbud and @slowandeasy eyes ..... Doing the best I can with tools I have

Bad weather so no work today, yea I get to play .....

Thanks slow ..... as I ”grow along” I’m getting more confidence and the plant is becoming more simplistic in my mind .....

As for airflow, no sure if you checked pics but I have five fans in the tent so airflow is good but perhaps improved by removing leaves, however, I believe the leaves should remain as they still provide some function such as food and some photosynthesis but based on your experience / knowledge I did remove a half dozen last night and will pull a few more as I get a little more comfortable with the idea - I am pulling just the leaf leaf and leaving entire stem as I do understand the food remaining and no damage to stalk, which loops me back around to leaving the leaves but my mind is open and I always appreciate your advise .....

The light I am running is only 180 watts for 10.25 sq feet, perhaps is a little under power but all seems well and growth seems fine and I’m getting some stretch and good side formation -..... Light is by Green Sunshine Company ES 180, a flat panel light thus it doesn’t have focus a COB does and spreads light more evenly and the light is adjustable PLUS and this is huge, no eye protection needed it’s a white light but I’d do wear sunglasses anyways but the white light is really pleasing on the eyes and Old Boy knows that for sure .... For sure I like the color and ease of seeing ..... I also watched a video after I purchased and they talked about the extra red light spectrum so we will see how buds stack up ...... The ES180 was part of original plan but I moved the light out of the tent and went to COBs which may of been a goof ......

I expect White Crack to be a monster and Sour Livers seems to be starting to stack .....

Sour Livers Top Dressing has been steadily going down - perhaps later today I’ll top dress again and this time I’ll add some EWC - more Worms - plus some Kashi, straw and I’ll mix in some Oly Compost - Worms love Oly slow - you should invest in a bag if you have worms along with some BuildaBud by BAS, I like diversity in my mulch - which reminds me a little kelp in there too!

Peace,
MOB

Picture was taken with No Flash just Light form ES180 - Beautiful spread and color - easy on the eyes for sure

I am not arrogant, but I will call anyone out who makes foolish comments. Nobody can see trchomes with their naked eyes, it is humanly impossible.
Going by Calyaxes, % of white hairs, or plant general appeance is not accurate. That being said I have seen people chase Amber Tichomes, many times resulting in exteneded grow times and horrible looking plants. You can think your experience and great eyesight is enough to tell you when to harvest, and you probably are pretty close from experience alone. But trichomes are the true way to know when a plant has matured fully for harvest or if it needs more time. Also, telling newbies that harvest times dont matter and checking trichs is not needed is horrible advice. Peacex slow

Ok just another opinion! Sorry you dont like mine im right though or can u see through my eyes? I can very much see with my naked eye.
