Slippery Susan Day 76, a Flowering Story

I'm on the home stretch of my 2nd grow and I'm limping to the finish line. I flipped to 12/12 76 days ago and the plants are looking a little rough for wear but the show must go on. All 3 strains are the same (Slippery Susan) but the one in the back right is dark purple, looks pretty neat compared to the other two.

Anyway, I posted some pics of the buds with flash on when the lights were off because its hard to get a good pic when the lights are on and its bright.

When I take a look at the hairs most are reddish./orange/brown but some more new white hairs keep sprouting out recently. The trichomes are only 5 maybe 10 percent amber. I havent fed bottled nutes in 2 weeks, because I figured that would be enough to carry them home.

My leaves are crispy fried, probably from over watering or ph lockout I assume.

Next grow I am using Happy Frog soil amended with earthworm castings, perlite and dolomite lime and will top dress occasionally with dr. earth. I'm going to try and ditch the bottled nutes.

Here are a few pics I snapped today, please share any advice or wisdom. Thanks for reading!

Those photos I took earlier with the lights off are real crappy. Here are a few I just snapped with the light on.

Really looking to improve on the next run.

Was it always purple, or change color? One of mine if starting to turn, not sure if it should, or too much nutes.

Looks like a decent run to me over all. Purple is a bonus!

Harvest them bitches

Yeah it changed color 4 or 5 weeks ago, must be a phenotype

What are the temps? One of them definitely looks like it's got purple genetics in it.

Low 80s with lights on, high 60s lights off....The back right purple one looks pretty sweet, way more dank than the 2 on the left- we'll see

The others just look a little P deficient. But that one in the back is perty.

I think you did a pretty good job

It's day 83 and I keep seeing more green pistils developing, Dang!

The trichomes look pretty cloudy and I see a few amber ones, most amber ones are on the sugar leaves. I'm not in too much of a hurry but don't want to leave them for too long. I stopped feeding a few weeks ago and stopped mag sulfur last week assuming harvest was right around the corner but this new growth is throwing me off.

Any advice on when to cut them down? I posted a few updated pics and I think you will be able to see the new green pistils. Thanks for any help!

That darker one looks just like my og lemon kush

You still have leaves that haven't changed yet, I'm not sure if what I'm saying is fact,just my thinking, but aren't your buds still feeding off of those leaves??? I always thought that you wait until the leaves are all yellowish... When I see real good grows,all the leaves are yellow at the end... That's what I'm striving for, a real good grow... You did that!!!

I’ve had some that kept growing white pistils through 12 weeks and they just endt up fox tailing and airy, just MY experience though from a regular degular,the most important part is the dry and cure that’s what I’ll be focusing on
