Today is day 68 of flowering. The 60-day flowering plants are getting extra flowering time. I have stopped giving fertilizer to the early flowering plants only RO water until harvest.

You are definitely nailing it creepy. Excellent job. One thing.. I experimented in my grow putting a male back into 20+ hours of light. Both males continued flower cycle and gave lots of pollen. You might be ok outside for longer than you think with your females.

It's over and time to finish because the temperature hit 90f or 32c outdoors. Too hot for flowers and so now @ 70 days of flowering I'm going to harvest. This is some special weed for outdoor bike rides and Summer swims in July. These plants were throwaways that were saved with outdoor Sun.

This is a reprint.
I remember back in the early 70s people were in search of the 8 ft fluorescent fixtures with 4 bulbs. That was the big hit back then, using the Wide Spretrum Gro-Lux bulbs in 8ft., fixtures. That was way before the HPS and MH lights were even thought about. If a person could get 2 fixtures and run 8 bulbs they could grow some decent weed. Maybe an OZ or 2 every 6 months. We came a long way, haven't we? 😎

Its a funny thing to want to get to the end of an indoor grow for so many weeks and then when the time comes it's hard to do. After all the work and babying the plants, the time has come to chop 3 of my fav plants.

Today is 75 flowering and the 3 plants I'm taking are 60 day flowers so I gave them extra 15 days. Time to start cleaning house.

Do you do any defoliation at all during early flowering?
I never defoliate because the leaf stomatas' are so important for the plants' overall metabolism. Removing leaves prematurely is the same as strangling someone very slowly cutting off the air supply or gas exchange...

I allow Mother Nature to do it for me at the right time. To induce a leaf drop all I have to do is hold the calcium from the water or hold the water from the plants for 12 or 24 hrs. The only leaves I pick, are the leaves off the floor in the end.

The hard part is hanging them to dry an knowing you have several 10-12hr trimming shifts or a bunch of 3-4hr trimming shifts. One reason I want my real original "thin mint" gsc cut back. It was worth every dollar I spent to get that cut. Could trim a pound in 2 hours max by hand an I'm by no means a fast trimmer, ocd kills me lol. Plus getting 4k a pound was nice 😁🤫
