Overall the roots do not appear bad, how's the smell?

Give it a good flush, with a medium nutrient solution change.
Is there a way to add more air to the bucket?

Quick update on Alien Gorilla,,,,,,

Saw something a while back about it being bro science the 24-48 darkness before chop,,,Im sure I saw summits Dr Bruce Bugbee was saying that it would only be possible to increase due to more light,,,,so just to see how an what happens if I give 48hrs lights on then chop,,,,so thats what my plan is now lights been on for 24hrs now an she looking fine so far,,,,just going to watch hows she goes an if no ill effects i plan to chop tomoz after 48hrs lights on,,,,ive turned led all the way down an raised light as high as possible,,,so yeah want be long and we see how she gets on guys,,,so harvest day tomorrow cant wait to try as smelling sweet as fk,,,,

Alien Gorilla day 62 chop
So just to see if it makes much difference I decided to try 48hrs lights on then chop,,,only did this as the root rot issue,,,so thought might just try summits different,,well yeah didnt seem to make any noticable changes not to note,,,but not tried the 48hrs of darkness yet,,,,so will try that 1 on the 3rd grow an see if any noticeable changes,,,,
So yeah ive was plannning to hang whole,,,,but with having no stretch she was abit bushy,,,,so hung her by individual branches so to get better air flow,,,temps around 17-18c RH 60-62%,,,left fans on floor on low just moving air not near buds,,,,,,
pic was not long before chop will post some more pics later,,,,but to say i had no stretch which i really needed being a novice grower,,,as I went with no many tops i think as plant had no room was squashed in there she was,,,thats why ive i hang whole,,,as leaves was all touching each other,,,,so yeah was a few things I would do different next time,,,but this grow was about understanding nutes,,LST,,,an Root Rot,,,,and it looks like Ive good grasp of what to do now,,,,an I should of thinnned her down an took a few more cuttings an opend her up abit more,,,as she was getting any light down below really,,,those lowers are proper lose an airy,,,but its all about learning as you grow,,,and yeah learnt so much now and I know what Im doing,,,kind of pmsl,,,,,but yeah all in all a success,,,,,as i weighed her whole an her wet weight whole was 520gms,,,so yeah anything around 150 an I will be happy,,,as that will be in line with my first harvest which was 900 wet an this is half the plant so 1st harvest I pulled over 300g dry,,,and if i can 150g that will be awesome esp as my first was 15%thc an this 26% so twice as strong in way so equates to half as much pmsl,,,,thats what im telling myself,,,,but yeah learned so much off this grow,,,cuttings, mother plants, topping LST etc,,so yeah more experience to bring to the next grow,,,cant wait,,,,got some cloud candy from so fem gen,,,,an a bruce banner WSE,,,,to run next,,,,but not sure yet

QUICK UPDATE ON ALIEN GORILLA DRYING
Hi guys so yeah we got her up drying temps around 16-18c RH 55%-62% try to keep it as stable has I can,,,well had a few issues with this grow so yeah it never hit its true potential,,,,I messed all up with light intensity should of kept things has I did on the first run,,,,but yeah didnt know much ppfd I was putting out,,,,and then in like wk6 tried tha ppfd app and it was saying I was blasting her with like 1400-1600par,,,so turned it down an adjusted the light,,,but yeah I think the damage had already been done by then,,,,as I think that was why we got no stretch as it would deffo add up an make sense,,,as im not to happy with how this 1 has gone the buds are abit small an not very solid an the lower buds are airy an loose,,,as yeah the canopy was to crammed,,,i should of thinned her out an trimmed her branches out for light penertration an better air flow,,,so yeah alot of things I could of done better,,,but its only my 2nd grow,,,it was still a success not smoked any yet it might blow my head off,,,,cant wait to try some though as that will tell what more about how successful it was,,,,but its all about learning and getting everything on point an dialed in,,,and yeah Im getting there now learnt so much off this grow and will make a huge difference on the next esp now i have a good understanding of most aspects of DWC growing now well the basic that is,,,but its alot learning as you grow and yeah picked up so much already and now i know what to do,,,kind of,,,I can sort the issues if any come,,,,its been a chance to learn so much from a photo plant being able to have time on yourside helps,,,,but yeah alot of room fr improvement esp with this Alien Gorilla as got a couple a good clones coming on strong and looking really good,,,,,so going to run another Alien an this time have it all on point an yeah give her the best chance I can to see what her true potentail really is,,,yeah it want to long before she is good to go
