Well envious at least....
Some cameras flashes actually "flash", and some just turn on a light for the picture. The true flashers will catch the sparkle better.

Update day is Saturday, don’t rush me! Lol
Short answer is no, nothing new to report.
Long answer is buds are swelling day by day. I’m real curious how these are going to turn out, as far as weights. Not a lot of colas, but they are getting really thick and heavy with buds.
It’s amazing how much fun it is to grow this plant. Honestly, I could probably shut down right now and have enough medicine to last me for another year at least, since I’m a lightweight. I wanted to grow my own to save money (HA!), but also to improve the quality of meds that I had access to.
What I didn’t expect is how much fun I would have just growing and tending the plants. They grow so fast, and are so responsive to change, that you can see difference within hours in terms of growth or the plants reaction to environmental changes.
I also enjoy just unzipping the tent and just kinda looking at the girls. I check on them at least twice a day, morning and night. I’ll pluck some leaves, give them a good smell, check the weight of the pots, and then tuck them back in and close up the tent. They are almost like pets. Until harvest, that is. Lol
Ive learned a lot since I started growing last August. I think that topping, LST, and defoliation are going to be permanent tools in the toolbox going forward. And for those who still say you can’t top, transplant, or defol autos...they are full of shit. Lol
Pics tomorrow.

Good to hear Bear!
You se, there are always something to report!
I'm same in that way, I grow more than I can smoke my self. I don't smoke a lot but I smoke often. 
I would say you really know a lot for the time you have grown. I have grown for more than 15 years now but mostly I have gone the hard way and learned my self. It's only the last year I have become an active member here. I think the growing and constructing is more fun than the smoking part.
It's such a fun plant to grow and you learn so much from it. I would say we are all pioneers in growing indoors. Nasa should hire us for the Mars tripp. But on the other hand I don't think I would leave mother earth for that red planet.
I'm checking my plants out at least 2 times a day also. We can spot changes on an hourly basis I think.
It's going to be fun to se some pics again soon!

So.....I may have made an error in not pulling out the scope earlier and just going by eyeballing the plants.
Hand was very wiggly today, couldn’t get clear shots of the trichs, I’ll try again later.
So....somehow harvest has snuck up on me. Checking trichs, I have almost all cloudy and some cloudy starting to Amber.
I’m wondering if I should harvest today, or delay a week so I can flush them, and maybe do a dark period.
I will most likely plan harvest for next weekend. I don’t mind if mine go amber. I just wonder about harvesting the sativa dominant hybrids late, since I do have a couple friends who like happy time meds instead of sleepy time meds. Crap. Should have been checking a couple of weeks ago, but just wasn’t seeing much development, so figured I had more time.
I’m in week 10 with these plants, I should have known better.
Advice?

I have always gone by gut feeling. So my advice is flush them this week, and harvest next weekend. Nobody wants a coughy weed.

Mine says the same. I’ve got enough clear trichs I think that it will be fine.
Now a photo dump:
A group shot after defol:
I split the stems on these five. We’ll see if it helps build trichomes.
My CBD Crack can’t support her colas. The colas are foxtailing, but they are destined for tincture, so I don’t care that they aren’t pretty.

Hey, that looks great. Agree with @Bonsaiweed , got a tower of power too?
The plant looks awesome. Thinking of harvesting next weekend too.
On Friday we have midsummer's day here. Decorating a cross with leaves and flowers. Families gather around them getting drunk on snaps and dancing "Små grodorna" (small frogs). It's the most ridiculous holiday of the year. I will spend the day at my parents with my brother who is coming home too. It's to bad my family is not up to speed of what I'm growing.....

Enjoy your Midsummer feast! Now I want snaps and crayfish! Maybe I’ll flavor some vodka tomorrow and raise a toast to friendship this midsummer.
Vampire weed....comes to take your intelligence...... makes you do stupid things.....Oh, no...all weed is vampire weed....

They look really good to me and I would say for a sativa you should be fine with a harvest next weekend. I'm not big on the go dark before harvest but it may slow down the ripening if you are really concerned about loosing the Sativa effect.
Your doing a great job...

I don’t know if I believe a dark period will do anything either, but it’s an easy thing to do, just in case it does work. Much like splitting the stem. At this point in the grow, I don’t think it will hurt - I can always pull them any day if it looks like it’s going south.

That 2x2 is packed! Tried growing 2 plants in mine and it resulted in the Amazon jungle and many undeveloped buds in the under canopy, so I cut back to 1. If you have extra meds check out the cobbing thread, seen some good reports on how those have turned out.

I’ve done a lot of defoliation during this grow to keep the air flow going, and to encourage larger top growth. Seems to have worked.
I’ve got two cobs stored, one is a Pineapple Express and the other Amnesia. I haven’t used them much, last time I tried the Pineapple Express, it knocked me on my ass. Lol

I’m using pretty much every square inch of space right now, for sure. Lol
Once I harvest the five largest girls, I’ll assess the runt, a White Widow. She may go longer in the tent by herself. She’s got one main cola that looks good, so I may take that and left the immature buds fill out for a few more weeks
Aw, thanks @nobodyhere! It’s really not that much to trim. The two CBD Crack are going to be tincture, so they probably won’t be trimmed at all, just cut and dried as is. The three “Auto Duck” plants will be trimmed for bud, but I don’t trim them too close. I pretty much just take off the parts of the sugar leaves that don’t have trichomes.

Dry in Wales in June? You’re kidding, right? Lol
Things are going well. Weather is odd. It’s 24c at 5am, supposed to get to 38c for a high today. Yesterday was overcast and it only got up to 28/29c. So it’s been a bit unseasonably cool. But also hot as balls lol
The grow is doing well. Harvest in four days!
