What do I do now?

First grow. I've read a lot, don't know what I'm doing of course. But guidance basically says just let it grow, don't prune or anything first time around, learn the plant.

100 day auto. Humboldt seed co all gas og. Germinated Dec 16th. That would make this day 57 if that's how it's counted?

27 gallon tote, chiller maintains water@69F, 2 8inch airstones w/1110 GPH Airpump, hydrofarm 24watt 400gph water pump, water level about 10GAL, 6 inch netpot, Hydroton, Calimagic,
SAg GFF (1ml/10GAL), EH Grow/Bloom 6ml/A/B/GAL, Ionboard S33 (240W)@18 inches, 3x3x6 AC Infinity tent/controller/exhaust, 80F/55% humidity now, 65-75% humidity in seedling/veg, RO water (simpure countertop), solution changed every 7 days

I dunno what to expect, buds look rather small, but growing. Overall plant is looking banging I think, trichomes looking drippy, seems to be going well. Fingers crossed.

Looks good. Also looks to be sativa dominant. probably going to take a while yet. I'm not a huge fan of defoliation but you could definitely thin out some of that undergrowth just a little bit.

Thanks for the input. I felt that way also about the undergrowth. Would we be talking removing lower branches or just fan leaves?

Just a few leaves to get some air flow through there. I'm not much of a defoliator but I'm sure others would disagree.

well done, looks very healthy.

Thanks for the comments.

I have the tote raised off the floor 6 inches to make draining it for change-outs easier. I'm going to lower it down as the light won't raise any higher and the top buds are only about 12 inches from my light now.

I'm not so clear about the end stages. I know I want to watch the trichomes turning milky or brown to indicate when to harvest, but unclear about timing of when to flush along with that.

Also, happy with emerald harvest results, but I'd like to trial a dry formula of nutes next round. I use Greenway Biotech cucumber and strawberry formula for other plants. Their bloom formula is about $25/GAL, much less than EH. Other dry options I might/should consider? My local shop is an Indoor Gardens, I will have to look closer to see if they've got any dry nutes, rows and rows of premix.

wash your balls after harvest.
I feed right up to chop.
