Not drinking anymore and/or less is a good sign !
I would say you are "in the window"
Looking forward to hearing about the first taste/report
Cheers
What they said!
The best advice I have ever received about harvest is, when you think it's ready wait a week. Sometimes even when you think it's ready and you have waited a week, wait another week. I don't often go for the second week but as a rule, I will wait a week when I'm starting to get antsy. Been worth it every single time.

In Gee's thread we've been talking about banana peel tea for potassium. I made and used banana peel tea for my 2020 outdoor grow and coincidentally (or synchronistically) I have been wondering if I should give it a shot with the RR1 plant and its leaf issues, then it comes up in Gee's thread!
The upshot is that I am going to make some tea and see if it helps. It's a slow thing because it'll take a week to brew and I reckon I only have three or so weeks left on this plant. Anyway, let's see.
So I made a small batch, chopping the peels of 3 bananas and adding a teaspoon of EWC to the jar, with dechlorinated water and a couple of mls of microbes. I will soak that for a week and burp the jar regularly, as one would any fermenting liquid.
The dilution will be 5 parts water to 1 part banana peel tea for a stronger starting solution, or 10 parts water to one part banana peel tea for a weaker solution. I'm going to go with the stronger solution because I don't have time to muck about. If it's a potassium overload the leaves will show us and if the worst comes to the worst, I can flush.

My first SIP told me I'd be needing cal/mag with my LOS. The second grow I tried to keep ahead with it and did. Next grow I'm going to adjust my soil and try to go plain ro water. I know my soil is unbalanced with calcium so maybe this time I'll get it!

I read this before and implemented it myself, because I didn't read it properly
lol.Yay!Sweet! I'm all
if you use distilled get it from a grocery store or pharmacy. some big box and automotive stores carry it for use in lead acid batteries. a chemical gets added to discourage human consumption which will throw your results off.
both should have under 7.
when testing you should never use a bulb style ph tester in distilled water alone. it'll both mess with calibration and destroy the bulb.
most RO will have some mineral content though small. RO almost always starts under 7 but will pull quickly from the air to get to neutral. it's amazing how fast it can happen.

I hope Azi you don't mind me plonking this here for reference.
I have just fed my RR1 plant a dose of banana tea. It'll be a weak dose because the concoction has only been sitting overnight. I added 10 mls to a L of water and ended up with 40 mls in 4 L of water.
I decided to do this because the yellow in the leaves is spreading fast, as is the burn issue. I hope it's not going to have an opposite effect.
I was wondering, could I be seeing senescence starting too at this stage? The plant is 74 days old and 35 days into flower. The pistils are turning caramel coloured and they are turning in.
That has been my suspicion.

What are the trichomes saying? Are they getting milky yet?I hope Azi you don't mind me plonking this here for reference.

There does seem to be a different smell to the plant now, and I am seeing a handful of leaves that have the classic yellow fade.
I'll tell you when the lights come back on
Banana tea, eh?
Great source of K for flower. & Co chops down bunches of bananas once a month generally. But not sure she’s getting another harvest any time soon, looks like the trees are dying. Panama Disease, maybe with that wilt. They are just falling to pieces.

Interesting. I didn't expect this. They do look milky don't they? I didn't expect to see any amber this early. I thought they had a way to go still. I plan to take the outdoor RR2 down today and that plant has been flowering 12 days longer than the RR1. What do you think, Gee man?

This is why looking at trichomes is not a very good indicator for maturity for new growers starting out. Trichomes may become amber on the sugar leaves two months before harvest. It's better to look at overall bud cluster formation and its maturity before looking at any thrichomes.Interesting. I didn't expect this. They do look milky don't they?

The latter (thrichomes maturity) should only be a confirmation on the first assessment, looking at flower clusters over shape, form and maturity. I see mostly clear thrichomes in the pictures.

No. Cannabis flowers for months naturally and effects of "senescence" are immobile by nature. Meaning it will not have a systemic effect like you see in your plant when all of its tissues are getting a lighter shade of green, senescence only affect certain leaves after months of flowering.I hope Azi you don't mind me plonking this here for reference.
