Day 52 from flip, call it week 7 of flowering. Advertised flowering period is 60-75 days. By the looks of the pistil color, they are getting close. They've been 80-90% brown for a week, with pheno 2 leading the way by at least a week. I have seen no amber trichs, not even one. Trichs are 80-90% cloudy. I'm going to wait at least a week. Pheno 2 will be coming down first.
Temps are still cool and dry (70/60, 30% RH), with a large portion of the day spent in the 60s. Takes a few hours to get the temp up to 70. I don't want to spend money on heating the room, so will ride it out. Water consumption is down, from 1.5 gal/3 days to 1.5gal/5 days. Feeding full strength MC with 1/4 calmag. Not sure if I need the calmag, but added it as a precaution. Not going to try to strip chlorophyll with a flush or by stopping nutrients - I'll take care of that with the cure.
I just wanted to chime in and compliment you on your journey back into growing. Your plants look good, very good. I can tell you have a very solid understanding of growing, all of your fundamentals were on point. Doesn't look like you forgot too much since the 90's. respect.
Maybe look into adding beneficial microbes on your next go-round. I took nearly a decade off and just got back into the hobby last year, having soil full of living microbes is what took my plants to the next level.
