They are definitely flowering harder faster now. Maybe La Nina will be kind, she's on her way apparently.

Only me and the other 9 or 10 that live in my headDamn dude, do you have a trim crew? Beautiful crop & I’m glad as hell I’m not your neighbor
What’s the rice for gee1 ?Ok so I'm running 4 1 gallon fabric pots with a couple seeds I made in my small tent. So I'm mixing up the soil and adding some new and different ratios to help the small pots hit big boy Brix numbers lol. It's more than what I've been doing but little pots suck.
My mix went like this...
~3 gallons of Mother Earth Ground Swell soil
~1 gallon old soil from the mother and father's pots
4 cups EWC
3 Tbsp of Power Bloom 2-8-4
3 Tbsp of All Purpose 4-4-4
2 Tbsp of Mineralized Phosphate
1 cup of uncooked Basmati rice
In the pot I did soil then a layer of 1tsp 4-4-4, 1tsp 2-8-4, and 1/2 cup EWC. I repeated this for a total of 3 layers.
I know it's not as hot as you make your soil but I'm building to that lol.
Man I wish I was your neighbor so I could see those girls in real life hahaha and get some of that sweet soil.

Miss Sticky - Day 8 of Flower.
She has stretched her way up to 975-905 PPFD.
Miss Sticky aeroclones - Day 5 in soil.
Water on the left, aloe on the right.
Aloe.
No aloe.
They are both doing well and growing, but the one that got aloe'd seems to be doing a bit better.
It's too soon to tell really, but it does look a little happier.

Aloe has growth hormones so ...

Now we’re talking!
3 of my little ones had to go last night. Bud rot 
All the Keren strain, and I think I may have the same issue with another 2 or 3.
Iv directed the oscillating fan down on em more and left it on 24/7 not much more I can do except hope
It’s these huge buds, iv never had em this big before, and where the leaves are all gone there’s no way of getting the moisture out of em,
The pistils on 2 of em are still white, and the trichs look clear, cloudy on others
Do yous think I should harvest ? It’s day 76 since I flipped the lights ?

Thats 11 weeks, so they should be close. What strain/seed company are they?3 of my little ones had to go last night. Bud rot

If you are losing them to rot I would definitely harvest them. Are you adding any foliar sprays?
What is your RH in your grow space? What is your temperature at?
When brix get under 12, and in particular under 10, all sorts of issues move in as the plant's immunities are low.
Do you have any soil ready for your next grow?

Also, if you are overwatering (not saying you are, just an educatiinal point here) then not only are you creating an environment for molds, mildews and rots, but you are restricting oxygen to the roots which crashes brix (immunities) so it's a two for one in a bad way.
The plant gets weak and the environment gets conduscive to pathogens.
It's how/why overwatering rises to the top of the list for grower mistakes.
Overwatering also depletes calcium as it gets really mobile in water and literally falls out the bottom of the pots, which again sets you up for disaster.
When people get one of these
it usually rocks their world as too just how wet they have been keeping their pots.
Seed descriptions help here. If the breeder says the plant requires more oxygen at the roots, or likes drier soil, that generally means it requires more oxygen, so closer to a 4.5, or closer to the low end of the green zone.
If the breeder states the plant likes a wetter soil or requires more nitrogen than normal, that generally means the sweet spot is a 6-7 as nitrogen requires more water.
If the breeder says Easy to grow, great for beginners, that is usually a 5- 6 and pretty much dead center of the green zone.
Most strains fall into the 5-6 zone. It's a good place to start. Veg may require a bit more water, such as a 6-7, but not always, as nitrogen is used more in veg and requires more water for assimilation.
Too wet soil will crash brix very fast. It causes starvation.

Hi @Gee64 , I will answer what I can
The seeds I have are
Chemdawg, from here
Chemdawg
Humboldt’s Chemdawg is a 60 / 40 indica hybrid that is very high in THC (24%). Treat well and be rewarded with a rich flavor, strong high and large yield!
marijuanagrow.shop
And my others are Keren and blackcherrymoonrock, both from here

No, iv not been doing any foliage spays
Now read this bit with squinted eyes, it might look better
The temps are pretty high, around the 28-30
And the rh is really high, above 60
Although I just did check and the temp is 24, and humidity is 47, I don’t know if that’s because iv put the fan on 24/7
Or iv left the bedroom door open, but it is lights out,
The bedroom atm is 59, but that goes up to the high 60’s when I shut the door
I did mange to brix one of the smaller plants the other day, it was around about 10, I will put a pic up, but I have give them a calmag watering since, and I intended on that being the last watering
And no, the room the tent is in is uncontrollable in the winter, one complete wall is glass doors and windows, I did try a winter grow last year and it was a nightmare, I had to have an oil radiator in the room trying to keep it at a decent temp which led to having puddles from condensation on my window seal , and I was getting condensation in the tent aswell, and not only that, I’m in a non friendly growing zone in i lol, and the landlords waiting to come and change the boiler, I’m running out of excuses to give him
And that’s another reason I can’t have a extractor fan, iv tried loads and there all too noisy, atm iv got just a ordinary fan I’m my vent at the top of the tent, it’s sucks the tent in so I’m guessing it’s doing the job, but yeah, it’s pretty messy in it
Yeah Gee Iv definitely got watering problems, I’m ok when I start the grow, but as the seasons change, that’s where I start to over water, the reason I’m thinking the swick would work much better for me, am I correct in thinking that you can’t over water with that method ?Also, if you are overwatering (not saying you are, just an educatiinal point here) then not only are you creating an environment for molds, mildews and rots, but you are restricting oxygen to the roots which crashes brix (immunities) so it's a two for one in a bad way.

A couple of years back a few growers tried various microbe solutions as a foliar to prevent PM, bud rot, etc. I think @Bode might still use JMS with success, and @Danishoes21 used a willow leaf extract to great effect.3 of my little ones had to go last night. Bud rot
All the Keren strain, and I think I may have the same issue with another 2 or 3.
