This is why I hate growing outdoors. So many “factors”.
My plant is a Wedding Cheesecake auto, and I’m in day 90. This plant has been a problem child from the outset. Growing very slow.
Soil is a 50/50 mix of FFOF and coco with a healthy dose of perlite. 5 gallon fabric pot.
I’ve grow Wedding Cheesecake before indoors, with beautiful results. But not this gal. She gets loads of direct sun. But she never thrived.
Last week she got spider mites, but they onl
y impacted the leaves, and so far the buds are fine. Now there’s a tiny patch of bud rot.
Today is day 90. I can smell the plant all the way down my driveway.
I say it’s time to cut.
Here’s some photos.

I dont see any clear. May see one or two amber. I had a bunch of bud rot last harvest. Probably threw out 3 ounces? You’re just in the window in my opinion. I’d tear out that piece of rot and give a few more days. You could chop now. Depending on desired buzz. You know the song.

Is this your go to on media? Soil and Coco have 2 different pH needs and also watering regiments. You said problem child from the start and slow grower…

Great observation.
No, this isn’t my go to media. My go to is either FFOF or HF right from the bag, amended with earth worm casting. I don’t begin feeding until the very end of veg. But keep in mind, this is indoors. 1000w HID on a dimmable ballast, on a 20/4 light cycle.
I really dislike growing outdoors. But for this one I had about 1/3 bag of FFOF left, and a full unopened bag of coco, so I said what the hell?
Since she was in 50% coco I began feeding her lightly right from the start.
I was planning on harvesting her today, but it just began raining 
in the last hour. So looks like it’ll get pushed back a day or so.
