I think I need to drain and fill. The above readings are after I replaced a gallon with one that was only flawless finish. I'm guessing this little lady has a few more days. I'm going to try to dry them at the same time. Or it might make more sense to stagger the drying over time. Like this blue dream first then the apple strudel.
I have a feeling she's gonna take a bit of time to flush. Theres one area up top that's starting to show some fade, well maybe not fade. I know it's a deficiency of some kind. And it only started a few days ago. I wonder how fast it will be. I don't remember getting any color from my last run. But we'll see how it goes.
I've also dropped the temp for lights out. Now it's set to 65° and should get some color.

Not much going on today. Also, don't know what happened with yesterday's entry. It kinda just went away. Twice. Hopefully today will be fine.
Anyway, I'm thinking she has a lot more nitrogen in her system than I originally thought. I'm not seeing any fading or anything. She's just chugging along.
I have videos, but I can't upload them. Too big. Anyway, videos are out now. Well, I could send poor quality videos, but that would be counter productive. If I can find another way to add trichome videos, I will post those once a week...
Wait, I'm harvesting in like 4 to 5 days. Maybe earlier if she starts fading really fast. Oh and she's also slowed way down on the drinking. I think. I'll find out tomorrow morning really. Actually, she didn't need need any top off. Just had a pH issue. It's really low and tends to swing that way. I'm starting to thing I have a root issue. But I can't tell.
I can see one dark spot on the roots that I can't get to. Maybe that's some sort of issue. But that one ends up out of the water almost immediately. With so many roots, it's hard to tell. Can't lift them now. Too big all around. Rotts are too big, plant is too. Ig and well, the tent just isn't taller enough.
The environment is like spot on today. A nice 73° and 47% humidity in the tent. But I had to use the AC to dry out the place. It was at 53% in the lung room until I don't know what happened , but the AC obviously worked wonders. It's at 47% in here now and 66°

No idea what's going on, but nearly all the branches have fallen over. Especially the front and left wall. Not so bad in the back, but like A whole bunch have just fallen over. Some even super cropped themselves. No clues what is going on there. I'm trying to prop them up with other branches. Not working. I might have to harvest. Little early.
Well, no, I think she's basically ready. I was thinking a week from Saturday. Maybe earlier now. Maybe it's a good thing. Light is getting to those lower buds now.

I don't think I'm going to pH today. It's in range and I'm certain with the rest of the flush happening it won't matter.
I got a couple plant yoyos up. But honestly, it only worked on 2 branches. Everything else is now broken or bent too much.
I think I'm gonna harvest tomorrow. I was going to today, but I have a feeling it's still a little too early. So tomorrow it is, or maybe Sunday. All I know is I have branches on top of branches and it's not good. The plant either needs to stand up straight or get to gettin. I'm thinking I accidentally drowned it for a few hours. I read that it can cause bendy branches and feel moist. Or something like that. Either way, it's doing all the things.
So I waited a couple days without topping off. It helped I think. I topped it off today with plain pHed water. 8 don't think those branches are going to fix themselves. So harvesting is the key to prevent mold. I know I mentioned it before, but in the back, the branches are all doin the same thing. And just as bad. I gotta check the trichomes. A bud fell off midway down the plant, so I put it under the microscope. Lots of cloudy, a few clear and zero amber. Not done. Why? Easy, they were nowhere near close to the light. I should have lifted her higher. But I didn't.
Update: I think I might have to harvest like tonight. Too many branches have fallen and now the Apple Strudel is pushing and leaning against the Blue Dream. Causing even more difficulty with the light.
Also, I definitely need to use the trellis net for next run. That's gonna be a special one specifically requested from FastBuds. I was gonna do the LemonPaya, but I'm doing this one instead.
