    Time to Harvest??

    You're correct that they don't look ready for harvest. Look at the link rurumo posted and search riu for info on what done looks like. Those plants have large spaces between the nodes which can be from not enough light or the light to plant distance is much too high. Just an area to improve on...

    Some tips on this setup

    In the US, that tent is a 4x4 (feet), good size for 1-4 plants (some run more than 4 plants). The fan is about 4" which is the minimum in that size tent. 150mm (6") would be better but most important is the CFM (cubic feet per minute) of the fan. Not sure what the NZ equivalent to CFM is but you...

    Is this light burn?

    Stick your hand in there with the back of it facing the lights, feel the heat? Your plants do too. That's advice I've seen for HID lighting but not with LED. I've read that LED doesn't have the IR heat like HID; that's why you can run LED air temps in the 80's but weed like temps in the 70's...

    Should I keep feeding or start flushing

    Those are hitting mid flower ish. Being outside may limit your options but the biggest mistake I see on this forum is chopping too early. The white pistils should go brown/red and shrivel into the bud before even considering chopping. You want to wait and let the calyxes swell too. Of course...

    Coco runoff ph problems

    I'm with myke, go to a low balanced feed and ramp back up. Try to avoid plain water in coco if possible. I saw the reveg look on pic 2 but they are sugar leaves and the fans seem serrated all around. Not sure there is a reveg there but I'm not as experienced as many on here. Pic 3 looks like too...

    How to mitigate smelling like your garden so you don't get fired?

    Good point. Same with US social security (ss?). It's an easy acronym but certainly can make one think nazi ss. My dad was a teenager during ww2 and he told me he was surprised when Kia cars came out. To his generation, kia means killed in action.

    I guess my joke tanked, but great tip!

    How to mitigate smelling like your garden so you don't get fired?

    I chopped garlic yesterday, rubbed them with lemons (helps) but smell is still there today. Thanks for the SS trick, any idea how to remove fingerprints from my fridge?

    Is this light burn?

    "I always ph the water to 6,5" Do you check ph after adding all your nutrients? Some nutrients will lower the ph of your water significantly so try checking ph after mixing up your feed.

    Can I dry from pot?

    Getting there but I think another 2 weeks is OK. I'd say feed it before you leave and chop when you return, if they're ready.

    First grow, plants are a little yellow.

    The main thing is that the pot / plant shouldn't sit in runoff water because it can cause problems with the roots. I don't think leaving runoff water will cause mold but it's best to get rid of it. You can even grab a turkey baster or big syringe and suck the water out.

    First grow, plants are a little yellow.

    Congrats, they look better. All of your coco should be moist and it looks like you have some dry coco in the pots. I'd advise you feed to runoff daily and make sure your pots are raised so they don't sit in the runoff water. Drain or vacuum the runoff.

    Is today the day to chop? (Warning: dank photos inside!)

    Getting there but there are still some white pistils on some of the tops. Guessing a couple of weeks but see what others have to say. Looking good!

    Spots exclusively on sugar leaves

    Good to hear, have fun watching them fatten up! How do you like the Floranova? I've used Floratrio and most recently Canna coco a&b. I like the simplicity of a 2 part system but haven't tried floranova yet.

    Spots exclusively on sugar leaves

    What I can see of the plant looks good so don't do anything drastic. You're late in the grow so you may have some nutrient lockout - possibly calcium and magnesium but I'm not an expert so see what other growers say. You can feed a couple of times with a low feed strength to get rid of any salt...

    Is this N Def? Yellowing Leaves.

    Just checking, you're using the micro and grow along with bloom, correct?

    Good start, what about exhaust and airflow?

    Harvest time ??? Need help...

    Lady bugs are pretty good at eating aphids too.

    Humidity levels?

    If your window ac is always cranking, it will reduce the rh. Try a higher ac setting or even shutting it off and see if that helps raise the rh.

    Drooping after topping

    Looks over watered to me too. Let it dry until the pot is light before watering.
