Grow Diary – Day 73 (Flowering Day 53)
Strain: Sour Frootz by Karma Genetics
Plants: 4 clones
Training: HST + SCROG
Nutrients: Green House Feeding – Bio Grow & Bio Bloom
Date: May 24 (Saturday)
Status: Entering final ripening – harvest approaching
At Flowering Day 53, the Sour Frootz plants are now in the late flowering phase, showing strong signs of maturity. Buds are fully formed, tight, and heavily coated in resin. Trichome development has peaked visually—most heads are now cloudy, with a noticeable rise in amber trichomes, especially on upper colas.
The aroma is intense and complex: sweet, citrusy fruit mixed with sour funk and subtle earthy undertones. The terpene expression is at its most volatile, and the flowers are sticky to the touch. Some larger fan leaves are beginning to fade, showing natural senescence—primarily a gentle yellowing, with no signs of stress or deficiency.
Nutrient Program:
• Still running Bio Bloom, though it can now be tapered or discontinued if you plan a light flush.
• Bio Grow is no longer active at this stage (breakdown complete), but residual nutrients are sustaining the plant.
Watering is now more moisture-controlled to avoid excess humidity near dense colas, reducing mold risk.
Additional Notes:
• No pest pressure
• Canopy is stable, buds are weighty
• Lower humidity maintained (~40–45%)
• Good airflow across and under canopy
• Natural color fade beginning, especially on fan leave.
