Northern Lights x Big Bud Auto

Week 11! We are closing in on the finish line! Now we wait and watch. The girls are being watered every other day or so, with pH'd tap water. August 12, 2021, Thursday. Nothing to report. August 13, 2021, Friday. Kaiydaan is developing slowly, her leaves are yellowing and growing in yellow and brittle. I'm not sure if she's going through her natural fade or is there some serious deficiencies/excesses. Her calyxes are barely swelling, Stigmas aren't very lush. If someone would like to weigh in here, I wouldn't mind. Aug. 14, 2021, Saturday. I watered the girls thoroughly. The digital handheld microscope came in, it needs a stand to get quality photos, but I will do what I can. Aug. 15. 2021, Sunday. "Freeman's" trichomes seem to be clouding up over the majority of her top buds, with flecks of Amber. Her lower buds are still developing and are gonna be a couple weeks behind. I'll monitor the trichomes and worst case scenario, we harvest in intervals. Experienced growers, feel free to chime in. Aug. 16, 2021, Monday. "Freeman's" top buds have the right combination of Milky/Amber trichomes, however, her lower buds that shot out from a side branch, that was missed during the Manifold process, are nowhere near ready. Aug. 17, 2021, Tuesday. Kaiydaan is creeping along and "Freeman" is right as she should be. I think it's time to throw Freeman into 48 hours of darkness, and then we'll harvest her top buds which are Milky/Cloudy and Amber. I decided given the amount of Milky/Cloudy/Amber ration to put "Freeman" into 48 hours of Darkness. "Freeman's" top buds are at their peak, so it's best to harvest in intervals. I will place "Freeman" back into the 2x2x4 to let her lower buds finish up. I converted a television entertainment center into a drying/curing space.
