When to STOP watering, and wait for Harvest?
He is using CFL Lighting 42W (150W Equiv).
He has like 5 of those on the outsides of a board (2 on each side, and 1 smaller CFL in the middle)that he keeps ~3 inches above the plants.
I was amazed at how much they kept stretching regardless of the closeness of the lights as well, but he said he only moves them up when they are about to touch the light.
The hight is about 36" or 3 feet high from top of pot to top of plant. (Which he had to bend over and tie down because it was taking the lights too far from the other buds.
I think his pot was too small (MiracleGrow Soil/Perlite 80/20 mix), and now it's more roots than dirt, but he doesn't want to make any changes this late in the game.
I think it's so spindly looking as 1. because of the strain, and 2. pot size has kept growth down, and the leaves that he had he pulled when they dropped and yellowed. making it look more like twigs now.
He watered yesterday, and says it is looking better today (2 day watering cycle, keeping consistant). He will continue to water until at least 40/60 amber/white hairs, then try letting it use all it's water up in time to die. (Bud's guide seems to suggest it helps getting rid of chloro if you ween it off the water a week before your going to harvest. Also suppose to help dry better/faster. Again, he pretty much followed the "Buds for less" as the bible, and did just about everything that guy did. I honestly think the bag seed which wasn't the best, also doesn't grow the best. One of the reasons I was asking if anyone had any idea what it was. I can show some younger pictures he took if needed, but hopefully not needed.
For his first and only grow, I think he did pretty good, not having any practice even growning a vegetable.But any advice for next steps to keep what is there moving forward till it's ready to harvest? He has ~70 days into this, and doesn't want to loose anythying at this point.
