Starting to really stink and has lot's of frost but why are my nuggies so small? :( roughly the end of week 6 how far off from harvest do you figure? This is my potted plant which i'm pretty sure is choco

You gotta wait for the calyx's to explode. The pod that the white hairs come out of will harden and look like a sac. The buds will be harder and denser as a result.

If you feed once a week and then do a two week flush, it should put you on track for when it'll be ready, so 4 weeks roughly

Looks great and good idea with greenhouse to control some of the elements this late in season like unwanted rain water on tight juicy buds.. Keep airflow with fans a Max to stop PM from poking its ugly head out of hiding. Basically watch your humidity closely..

Thanks mate. That is a 10x10 shelter logic greenhouse so it is opaque from the outside, you can't really see anything that is in there unless it presses up against the sides. I think my plants didn't get as fat as they would have if they had been under direct sun all summer. But they also didn't get as water logged. I had my garage light on at night (100w LED) and because of the light diffusing cover it kept them from flowering for over 3 weeks when they should have been! On the upside they didn't herm. Live and learn, that's why I hope they can finish before frost/mold. I might pick them a bit early.

Meanwhile indoor harvest finished and next round going. Last 2 pulls yesterday at day 59. 5 gal Blue Ripper F2's from seed, one Blueberry leaning pheno with loud fruity terps and one JTR leaning pheno with loud lemon terps. Both about a QP, 44" & 46" from the soil, door is 36" wide. A couple of grams for the stash in there :)

So here's an update! Weather has been amazing the last few days hoping it hold up! My potted plant which I believe is choco seems to be maturing a lot more quick then the in ground plant
(different strain) but here's some pics of the choco let me know how she's looking and when I should start to flush? Cheers! :bigjoint:IMG_0420.JPG IMG_0423.JPG IMG_0425.JPG

be careful but there appears that there may be some mold growing in this bud where the leaves have died and shrivelled up ...take a peak in the bud...
Thanks had a closer look, just lighting/reflection in the pic. No conditions for mould or PM in there, no worries. Had a couple of dry leaves that I'd probably broken while checking them during the cycle,The high res pics and reflections play games, sometimes I'll look and think it's a nanner or something, go back & check with a loupe and it's just something like a yellow leaf protruding or angle/lighting. Cheers.
