Uh, I can't actually do this. I did measure. The runoff was 894. I water with tap water that measures about 200 ppm. But I remember that I added half to an inch of new FFOF soil to the top of one of my plants. (The regular seed.) And decided to add a teaspoon of Grow Big to the gallon of water I used to water. (It's what I have on hand.) So the measurements aren't valid. But I can see how adding some nutrients helps.I'll try and remember to check the runoff ppm after my next watering.
Looks pretty! And I am happy to say you may have more than two weeks. Unless you get crazy foxtails that continue growing you shouldn't see any more of those white pistils showing. Don't get in a rush and short change yourself. I'm not even talking about trying to guess the percentage of trichomes or anything. It should gain a lot more frost and plump out more the longer you wait.
Yep, I'll flush them during the last week or two. I've been adding a little Tiger Bloom since they were getting some yellow leaves and some spotting well before finishing.
I have 3 plants. 2 autos started a week apart (the first picture above is the one started a week later) and a fast version of a regular (the second picture.) According to the breeder the autos should be done at nine weeks. Next Sunday will be nine weeks for that first plant which is why I'm guessing 2 more weeks. But I have a jeweler's loupe and will keep an eye on the trichome color. 20% amber.And I am happy to say you may have more than two weeks.
Don't hesitate to bug people before you chop and ask "does this look done"? No one will mess with you and screw up your plant

Don't worry. I have a big mouth and will ask if I am not sure.
"9 weeks" is very relative. You really don't even need to start checking trichomes until a lot of the pistils are brown. The reason I am guessing more than two weeks this far out is because I don't see any brown pistils yet. When you start seeing more than a few random ones, like most of the flowers have one or two, then you have about 3 weeks left.
This plant just won't finish. It's an auto and has been in dirt over 10 weeks. There are a few amber trichomes but not enough yet.
I have had an issue with plants foxtailing and not finishing, and think it is due to too much light towards the end. Trying it different this grow to see if it helps.
Awesome!
If you have the room, those propagator domes (like 1020 tray or smaller) are fairly cheap, and have the vents so you can gradually acclimatize them. If nothing else they have more air in there with the humidity.
