First thing to note is that the dehumidifier is just not strong enough to get through to the top of the plant. So the humidity is like 50.1% temp is fine. I'd like it a little bit lower, but this is what I got to work with.

Oops.
Something happened with my notes yesterday. Hopefully they don't delete again.

Well, it's 420 and I have emptied the bucket so I can pH the water. Pretty easy. But still I really hate pumping out the water. Kinda feels like I'm suffocating her. So mean.
I couldn't send a trichome video, so we will have to figure out my phone. It's pretty close, so I could get some pics good enough to see if it's cloudy or clear. Amber. There was a decent amount of it all around.

Anyone notice yesterday? The only 2 things that changed are the EC and Temp. Ummm something is wrong with the EC reading. I must have mistyped yesterday or something.
Anyway, there may be a nutrient lock out. Or something, because I'm getting other tissues. Mostly at the top. It seems the already damaged leaves do not fix. Like the canoeing that's still there, will it go away? The spots on the top leaves look spotty. I don't think those will go away, but the leaf stacking. That should go away, right?
The environment looks good today. No complaints whatsoever. Nothing to note. Finally, right?! Lol
As for the plant. She is officially EATING the Blue Dream. So much so that it's pushing the whole thing over. I think I'm gonna harvest the blue dream little early. At least earlier than I wanted. Half the plant is flopped over now. Not clue why. It was just that one branch and then I guess the weight of that and the upper branches just led them to collapse as well. What the shit is that?

Looks like nutrient lockout.

So I harvested the Blue Dream. A little earlier than what I was expecting, but it needed to be harvested. Anyway, apparently Apple Strudel has really heavy branches and were pushing the Blue Dream over. Well, when I pulled the blue dream out of the tent, this little lady nearly fell over. It was stuck with the Blue Dream. But once they were apart, the rest of the plant fell over. So I put up my trellis to at least help keeping the branches off the ground or even worse, snapping entirely. Ioght have to harvest her early too. The bends in those branches are insane. However, I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this one is done. Like done done. Lots of amber tons of cloudy and very few clear. I wanna flush her. At least for a couple days. But I'm really concerned with the branches laying on each other. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Mold, powdery mildew. Nothing else, I won't get any bugs or anything like that. So I hope leaving them like that won't hurt too bad. I should try to get the 2 big ones up.

As we can see here, there is definitely a nutrient lockout somewhere. It's probably because of the size of the roots. The roots have taken over the bucket. I need like a 10 gallon for this plant. Lol.
Anyway, I have concerns about the fallen branches are stacking on top of each other. Just in 1 spot. But it's a good spot for mold to grow. So I need to figure out what to do with the top 2 branches.
The environment is actually looking great! As it's the last week of life I'm gonna leave it alone. 71° and 50% humidity. I'd much rather 40%, but the 50% is pretty steady. And 71° mimics the outdoors getting cooler. This should work in theory, but we'll see. Honestly, this plant is kind of hard to diagnose. There's all kinds of stuff happening all at once and I'm trying to find the source. Then I can work my way out. Or something like that.i can use some yoyos for a couple of the branches. But the rest are pretty flimsy. Waterlogged. I'm guessing and it's because of the roots. It has to be. I just can't find a source. Damnit.
