Well I fucked up, and it was because I got a little too trigger happy and misunderstood information that was presented to me on the interwebs.
I started flushing my plant (watering with only tap water, no nutrients) a few weeks ago because I believed my plant to be close to harvest (novice mistake of course) and from what I had read at the time, once you begin flushing your plants, the buds where supposed to explode. However, that has turn out to NOT be the case, rather my buds have stopped producing density AND crystals! Very disappointing.
I went to the Hydro shop yesterday to explain my situation to the guy working at the counter and he said it probably wasn't a good to add more nutrients at this point, being this far into flowering (Week 8).
Here are some pictures of the plant:
Here are some pictures of a few branches I harvested and dried for 3 days, definitely not ready, not swollen up enough yet:
As you can see, my girl outgrew her light:
So what should I do?
Keep growing her out without using nuts? Use some nutes and keep growing her out for longer then 2 more weeks? or just cut my loses and harvest now?
