Day 42 — FLO | Mixed SCROG (120×80) Box smells unreal — sticky as hell. Buds are packing weight and the trichs are starting to turn milky in spots, but most are still crystal-clear so I’m letting them cook a bit longer. Canopy is fat, structure solid; loads of resin on every cola — fingers already gluey from checking. Night temps and RH still a pain (cold garage), so I’m watching for any mold hotspots and keeping airflow moving. Overall super happy with how this mixed run turned out so far.
Quick state:
Lights: 400W HPS + 300W LED (4000K) — plenty of punch.
Media: 20 L smart pots, BioBizz soil + myco, organic feeds (BioBloom, TopMax, Green Sensation).
Training: SCROG, LST/HST done, minimal tweaks now — mostly letting the flowers fatten.
Trichomes: pockets of milky, majority still clear — not chop-ready yet, keep peeping with scope every 2–3 days.
Plant-by-plant notes (position → short ID + what I see)
Back-left — Wedding Cake (Portland)
Very frosty, main colas are dense and sugary. Pistils starting to darken a bit, buds showing early signs of swelling. Trichome coverage is heavy — this one will likely be a resin monster. Watch for the classic sweet/creamy aroma to deepen.
Back-center — Kush Crasher
Properly turning purple and looking gorgeous. Leaves are showing that cool kush coloration and the colas are chunky and stout. Very sticky, strong nose developing (earthy / diesel kush). Keep temps stable so the purple stays and you don’t stress it too hard.
Back-right — AK-47
Shorter, compact nodes but stacking nice little cola clusters. Classic AK structure — not the frostiest but reliable bud density and a punchy terp profile expected. Nice even development under the HPS.
Front-left — Double Krush
Buds forming tight clusters — a little leaner than the gassier strains but foxtailing less and stacking nicely. Shows vigour and is filling in under the canopy. Good candidate for chunky colas if you let it finish a touch longer.
Front-center — Wappa
Main cola is a beast — this one’s the show-stealer for bulk. Fat, chunky top cola, already showing awesome density and slight color shift. Expect a heavy, compact cola at chop. Loving how the Wappa is responding to your SCROG.
Front-right — Detroit Runtz
Longer, slightly looser colas compared to the others but super resinous. Shows those fruity/runts vibes — buds are coating in trichomes and the structure looks promising for aroma/density trade-off. Might finish a touch sooner or later depending on phenotype, keep an eye on the trichs.
What I’d do next (short checklist):
Keep scope-checking trichs — pockets of milk = start of the final swell. Most still clear → not ready yet.
Hold off major defol or HST now; only small tidy-up if airflow spot is tight.
Watch RH closely at night — lower if I can (dehumidifier or heater + intake trick). Mold is the enemy at this point.
Last heavy feed flush plan: stay conservative — these look on the edge of finishing, so taper nutrients as trichs go 30–50% milky and pistils darken.
