Request expert guidance on how to proceed

WTH, it is only money…
Snagged a refurb 350r from HLG for $377.

Day 63 of flower.
Fed 2.1 gallons of tap water yesterday with 4t FoxFarm Bloom, 1/2 t ChaChing, 2 ml Cal Mag, 2 ml Micro-Boost, 5 ml silica. In a 6.5/680. Runoff 3.9C, 6.1/1830, which is still troubling.
Past week RH 38-58, ave 46; temp 68-80F, ave 75.
Grow lite off, iPhone flash.
She yellowed a bit more and a few of the leaves are drying and curling from the tips. @Newt What are your thoughts, please? Normal?
All comments welcome.

Honestly, at day 63, it’s probably normal. Your plant should be focused on buds only at this point, and your plant is neglecting its own leaves. It thinks winter is coming, and only wants to get pollinated at this point.

Have you started looking at your trichome colors yet? If not I think you should. You may be getting close to harvest.

@Newt Thank you. Moving forward with that in mind. I will post some later today and will ask you to comment. I think they are still clear. Cannot open the tent at this time due to high odor.

I suspect you’re gonna see ~30-40% cloudy. (But I’ve been wrong begore) :rofl:

By the way, you ought to post that last bud pic over here:

That is a very pretty bud. :+1:

And the reason I think your partly cloudy, is the fact that it looks like most of your whiteies have curled in and are changing color.

Thank you Newt. Willco.
Oddly, to my eye they look better in these photos on this PC than in person. They say the camera makes people look fatter. Maybe that works for buds too?!

Let’s call in a real expert. I just read a lot. I’m on my own 1st grow after all.

@Hellraiser, can you offer up an opinion?

I think she’s finishing up too. Probably could have used a little more K around week 6, judging by the leaves.
Bembe’ is a good FF product that has the needed K. Cha ching is high in P Wich causes an increase demand for K that bembe’ supplies.
Really, she looks great, those are some beautiful buds :v::green_heart:

Thank you @GreenJewels
I have been on a frantic learning and buying spree since I started paying attention to my plant a couple months ago. All over the place with nutrients and supplements, which I will change next time. I plan to settle on one line, which I think is wise. Mixing products from different manufacturers could cause many problems, I think.
I did not purchase Bembe. From FF I have the basic trio and the supplements Cha Ching, Beastie Bloomz, Open Sesame, and KMKY.

Looks fine, would rather have some fade going on at this point, better than harvesting dark green plants. I wouldn’t feed any more, just water til chop.

Thank you very much!

@Newt @GreenJewels Or anyone.
Would you guys mind commenting? Am I looking at mostly clear or cloudy? Going for up to 30% amber. Can you guesstimate the time to get there?
Having a hard time getting a clear picture. Light off. First three with digital microscope. Last using iPhone and loupe.
Anticipation…
Anxious to get to harvest… So I can try again and do it right from the start.

Well, it looks like most of what I can see is on sugar leaves, but that looks mostly cloudy. I see a few amber as well.

Do I need to take more pictures?
Sugar leaves transition before flowers? So still early?

Sugar leaves first. So yeah, if you can get pics of bud parts, that would be good. But you’re getting close.

Looks like you have a nice amount of cloudy and still quite a few clears with very few ambers, like they said. Keep checking every few days, it won’t be too long. Also check midway down buds along with monitoring tops, you’ll want some amber there as well. The tops amber first and let you know when to start checking the rest daily :v::green_heart:

Uh-oh. Now I am “un” clear. The tops amber first, so check the sides of the buds and use that as the rule? Judge based on the amount of amber along the sides of the buds?
Thank you very much for the edukatin’. :wink:
Maybe I got it now.
