Hey man hope all is good with you. Any updates on this??
Hey boss, doing well thanks. Hoping to be brewing up some cannabis root espresso soon haha hope you've been enjoying yours.
I guess it is time for an update...I think we're in week 7 of flower. They're looking ok. Really slowed down the last two weeks. First two photos are up to date but I also included a janky little time lapse of one of the colas.

Daaaaaamn, looking good brother!!
Yes, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Reminds me I got 3 males I cut a couple days ago in a bag in the back of the fridge I need to juice, gonna be alot. I let them grow pretty big lol.
Don't stress about them slowing down a bit. Can't wait to see when they're done ripening. Appreciate the time lapse pics too, looks like it's filling out nicely.
This may not be the case, so don't take this the wrong way, but you sound kinda bummed out. It's all good if you are man, I understand, take my hand I'll lift you up!!
Don't let your eyes fool you, this shits called Critical mass for a reason!! They pack in that weight. I grew some BC Big Bud before outdoor guerilla style, massive buds. I'll never forget the taste, was like lemony/orange pinesol with a touch of skunk! I lost some to mold cause I live in a wet area and they were huge, probably the reason why I never ran it again lol. It's funny though my wife bought a zip of some beautiful, organic BC Big Bud a couple months ago. Brought back alot of memories!!
Make sure you keep your rh and temps low and stable like low 40s rh and low 70s temp from here on out, if it's not there already.
Waiting for it to ripen is almost like a bodybuilder getting ready for a show, cutting down, getting ready to step on stage to flex every muscle and make it pop. They only ever really look like that 1% of the time, unless they're Andreas Münzer, but he took it to the extreme. Every calyx is like a muscle swelling up waiting for it's chance to "flex" on stage lol, unless it's like pure sativa. But that's just my experience, I haven't grown every plant so who knows. Hope this was a good analogy, if any bodybuilder growers wanna share their thoughts, so I don't feel so dumb haha. I think I remember seeing @Wizzlebiz saying he did bodybuilding before in a thread. Let me know if it don't make sense lol.
I know I probably use way too many analogies, but fuk it I love em, they're like a learning tool for me haha. Anybody got a problem with it I'm gonna take 2 big ass donkey dick buds, tie em together like nunchucks and whoop some ass Bruce Lee style! Lmao
Thanks again for the update man.
Always a pleasure.

I'm good man, no need to worry haha but I appreciate it.
The RH does spike at times but I've been able to keep it below 50% and usually around 40% for the majority of the time. I've been messing around with the temps a little bit though, maybe you got some thoughts on what I've been doing. Essentially about 7-10 days ago we had a pretty cold night and the temp in the tent got down around to 58. At first I was a little concerned but then I noticed the buds were a lot frostier so I figured I'd let it keep dipping that low at night. I feel like I've read of people doing this to increase trichrome production but I can't really remember where, doesn't seem like the worst thing to be doing during flower since it essentially mimics the environment that the plants would be experiencing during flower (Critical Mass has Afghani in its lineage). Perhaps I should wait until later, like the last week of flower to drop the temps this low and keep them closer to 70 until week 9 or 10 - the week these are "supposed" to finish. What do we think?

Thanks man, glad to hear everything is good.
Those temps are ok. As long as they're doing good shouldn't hurt em. 58 is a bit low though, some strains can handle this with no issue, but some start to slow down. When I run strains known for purple genetics, it definitely helps maximize the purple action, especially in the end if you drop temps to low 50s, really helps bring it out.
I try to keep it comfortable around 70 lights off-75 lights on between week 3 - week 7/8 depending on the strain, then increase the difference last 2-3 weeks to 65 lights off-75 lights on. I find this also aids in ripening as well as preserving the trichomes.
Other than that, some things I find boost trichome production are low rh toward end of flower, as well as fuller spectrum in the lighting.
Don't forget to send some pics come harvest time

you at the finish line??
Yessir! Just Chopped today. I'll upload some pics
The Finish Line
Took these photos three days ago. After the lights shut off, I unplugged them. The plants just finished 48 hours in complete darkness so I moved a humidifier and box fan into the tent, and set the inline fan to kick on if the humidity hits 68%, and snipped the ladies...always bittersweet haha. Hopefully we get a nice slow dry down period and in two weeks they'll be ready to trim and jar up!
Hmm what to do with these roots tho...

Thank you for the update!! Beautiful side shot! Man, I thought I was a beast, but damn those plants are beastly.
Lol, I think the bigger question is, what to do with all that bud?!?!!!
If you need help, I'll take one for the team and smoke up all that bud with you.
For Science!!
