ILGM Bruce Banner - Indoor DWC LED

Week 16 (F63) Checked pH on Sunday and it was down in the mid-4s again, so I added pH up and now it's at 6.6. Added some pH down to stabilize. Also added about 3 gallons of water (no nutes). Will flush in a few days with fresh solution. Buds starting to swell and really smelling amazing. Getting lots of berry notes, like dehydrated strawberries. Uppermost buds are showing >5% amber trichs, but lower buds aren't quite there yet. Going to ask a question to the group recommending how to time an optimal harvest considering the disparity. Leaves starting to fade (as expected late in flower). I did some defoliating to get rid of the very yellow leaves that were also hogging some of the light from the lower buds. Also makes them look better and will make trimming a little easier post-harvest. Have had some friends ask how I've gotten pics of trichs. Just picked up a cheap jeweler's loupe on amazon and put it right up to my phone's camera lens. Hard to see through it clearly enough to examine trichs on its own, but zoomed in on a still photo, you can get a pretty clear picture.
