How far along, vpd, general advise

[Seadaemon]

Hello all. Newbie here. First grow. I believe I'm at the end of week 7 of flowering. How long do you think b4 chopping down ? How do the trichromes look ? I'm having a hard time keeping the vpd in between 1 & 1.3 without raising the humidity above 50rh. Stats are :

Greasy runts, started outside, then brought into a 4x4 tent on the light flip.

24c ,45%rh , vpd approx 1.8

650w hydro mars light, on full 12/12

6" exhaust fan & 4" intake fan. Multiple small fans.

Being fed Flora bloom every second feeding. Approx 4 days apart I between oxinated water then nute mix.

I'm really interested in how you people with more experience than me feel like they look like, and what I should or should not be doing at this stage of the grow.

Cheers in advance.

Beautiful ladies my friend.
Judging by pistils I think a week to two are left.
Are they still draining their pots?
At the end they stop eating.
If they are still draining their pots regularly they are alive and still building for you.
I'd keep feeding to chop.
Don't remove anymore leaves, they need them.
Don't fret too much about vpd.
It will fluctuate.
Make sure you have lots of air circulation and a warm dry room.
You'll have a great harvest.
Great work.

Thanks Bill284. So i should probably stop feeding the bloom and start the flush?

I feed until chop.
If you had a deficiency I’d say flush.
But your garden is healthy and doing well.
I don’t recommend flushing before harvest.
I’ve fed my girls to the very end for years now without a single complaint.
I’d keep feeding according to the schedule to the very end.

I did have some pwm that I have been dealing with. I have been spraying the plants every week. Seems I have it under control. I did notice some yellowing of what's left of the leaves after the last feeding. I used 40ml Flora bloom to 16L of oxiginated water. Now on this water only feeding that yellowing seems to have gotten better. I was wondering if was nute burn ? Maybe I should lower the dosage of bloom ?

First I think part of what you said was correct.
Flora Bloom is 1.5 ml/l at this stage.
16l. x 1.5 ml. = 24 ml in your 16 litre batch.
But no harm at this point.
Any fade is natural at this point of flower , don't fret.
As they build buds they drain some nutrients from local fans to support bud needs.
Follow this chart until harvest.
Your doing great.
Did I mention don't remove any leaves?

Hey Bill !! Hahaah, yes you did mention " don't remove any leaves " . I did go a bit crazy removing leaves before I knew any better. On the Flora bloom I have, it says 2.5ml per liters for late flower. I'm assuming this is late flower. The bloom is all I'm using right now. Before it went into flower I was using the Flora grow . I'm not sure what you mean about the " micro & grow " is that a brand or something like that ?
I really really appreciate you answering my questions. Thank you man !!

Those are 1 part each of a 3 part series.
MICRO
GROW
BLOOM
Micro & Grow until pistils appear.
Then start week 1 of flowering formation.
Which means you add your bloom formation and gradually reduce the grow , usually.
Grow contains nitrogen needed for growth then reduced to a minor amount needed for flower.
Micro nutrients are consistently important in small amounts throughout the life of your girls.
Bloom contains higher amounts of P&K needed to build big buds during flower.
So usually more than one is recommended but in different amounts throughout the life cycle.
You can ask as many questions as you like my friend
If I’m busy I’ll answer as soon as I can.
I tell everyone I’m a friendly beginner just trying to learn and help.
