Autumn Grapefruit

Hello guys and welcome to this new grow :). I'm back to photos because I found a way to have pitch black in my tent while still having air flowing quite easy through the passive intakes, a little bit of DIY but it should work. I had these seeds in my stash for almost 2 years now so i figured out it would be nice to pop these before the rest... And they all germinated within 48 hours, props to Female seeds for that. For now they are in a 50/50 mix of coco and light mix with all the biotabs kits except for the tabs of course. I plan to only keep 2 of them and transplant around week 2 directly in final container, not sure yet if I will be 11l or 18l, with a 50/50 mix of coco and all mix + biotabs. The first week has been going good, I'll try to keep it that way ! Cheers !

Hello guys, Good growth this week I'm pretty happy so far. Transplanted the two best looking and vigorous crops, that also look more sativa which is what I'm looking for ! They are in 18l containers, 2/3 of the pot is a 50/50 mix of coco/all-mix and the rest is a 50/50 mix of coco/lightmix. Added 2,5 bio-tabs into the soil so with that they should be well fed :) ! Keeping the others two just a few more days in case one of the transplanted got shocked/sick in the process but it looks ok.

A very nice week ! They've been very vigorous, growing great and fast, they love the food and environment so far. Usually with my lights, internodes are very very short but this time internodes are bigger, sativa influence I guess. Started LST, one of my favourite thing in growing is to shape the plants and I can be a bit radical doing it haha ! It will come very hand when stretch time comes as I feel those will try to go big in terms of height. One more week of veg and I'll switch to bloom. For the last week of veg I may add the second Led COB. Already smelly in the room !

Week was going so great, lush green, growing fast, and then... BOOM ! I dont know wtf happened but in just 24/48hours it went straight to shit ! Lots of dots/spots on leaves, overall unhealthy looking, grow has stopped... I watered as usual when medium felt dry and only 2L each so not even 15% of the container total volume... Cant find any insects/beasties... If someone has an idea thanks :). I wanted to switch to flower but not sure its a good idea till this problem is solved.

A great first week of flowering ! They totally recovered from the overfeeding and they are pushing strong. Long time since I did not filled the tent like that. Trying not to go too hard on them but I feel I have to remove leafs are they are really bushy. They seem to stretch pretty well, and they showed sex already. On the bad side weather went to shit over here in just 48h, switching from hot and dry to cold and humid and I'm really struggling to stay under 60% rh. Thanks for following along and many thanks to all who helped me on previous week, you were all kind of right :)) !

A great week : Damn, those girls love to stretch for sure (at least x2.5 to x3) ! They've been pushing pushing and pushing non stop, buds are barely forming for now. I wondered if I had a light leak so I went and locked my self up in the grow tent and it was litteraly pitch black so I guess it's just that they stretch for a long time. Leaves formation seems to have slow down tho, so I guess we should see real flowering soon...I hope ! Overall, looking happy and healthy, I'll make a serious defoliation at the beginning of week 3 cause they be bushy ! cheers

So they are still taking their time... I mean come on its borderline boring in here !!! Well I think the bud formation is really starting now, at the end of week 3. Beside that, they've stretching and pushing in all kinds of direction, I'm trying to keep it under control but it's quite messy ! Many defoliations and lower branches removal have been happening. Apart from that they are still looking happy and healthy, which is always a good news ! Hope we gonna have some blooming action soon...

Week went OK I guess. We are flowering for real now even tho they still push a little, I reached the maximum heigh for my lights so they really have to stop now !! Some trichomes and a light smell. Female seeds says it's a 8 weeks crop but I think it will be closer to 10 at that pace. Slight colour change that I dont like very much but it seems to do that every time I grow so... Nothing alarming so far ! I removed some lower flowers that weren't getting enough light. Cheers !

Looks like they are budding but slowly... Or maybe it's me who is too impatient ! Overall looking still ok, no major issue to report, kind of autopilot. Trichomes are coming along, even on the big sugar leaf and the smell is delicious : mango/tropical/pineapple, very sweet. Just needing some bud mass growth but I hope well get there soon ! Cheers

We are budding ! Things are going along just fine, I noticed a slighted nute burn so I did some water only. I left too many sides branches and now it's a bit late to remove them, it will hurt my yield but lesson is learned ! Lot's of humidity this week, hard to stay below 60%... Did a last defoliation cause they were too bushy. Cheers

Budding by the day ! Putting some weight finally. One on the top is getting real fat, the one on the bottom has too much side branches/larf cause I'am an idiot who did not prune enough... Great smell and they are getting shiny ! Some pests (fungus gnats/spider mite) appeared I dont know how considering the room is sealed but anyway I'm trying to keep things under control. Feed also is not perfect as it seems some burn (tips) but at the same time lower leaves are getting yellow so I'm not really sure... Not everything is ideal but we are getting there !

Still swelling ! Looks like they are packing even more weight, trichomes all over the place (pictures don't do justice), sticky, smelly... Really two different expressions of this strain in shape and smell. The fade is slightly starting, I hope one more week will be enough as the trichomes are still way too clear right now. On the bad side, the infestation is out of hand, I kind of stopped the fungus gnat with traps but the spider mite are gaining ground, fuxxing beasties !

This is the last week ! I'm going to chop a day or two maximum after the pictures that you can see. Trichomes are mostly milky with a few clear and amber, just how I like it ! Nice fade, some beautiful colours hues here and there. Buds smell of sweet citrus with a hint of tropical, not acid at all and with a skunky/ripe fruit touch. Really dank. Full of resin, even some sugar leaves display some trichomes. The yield is not going to be that big because of some poor choices I made, lesson learned ! I'll update with an "harvest" week once everything is dried and trimmed. Until that time keep in touch I'm already starting a new grow diary in a few days ! Cheers

Stretch hard so if you have a rather small space don't veg too long ! She easily gonna triple in size so I'd veg her 3 weeks in my space. Pretty resistant to overfeeding/pests. She is known to be weak regarding bud rot but she endured 60% humidity in late flower. Nice smell but not overwhelming so nice for discretion purpose. I'd grow her again !
