Grow Diary – Day 79 (Flowering Day 59) Strain: Sour Frootz by Karma Genetics Plants: 4 clones Training: HST + SCROG Nutrients: Flushing – pH-adjusted water only Lighting: LED at 50% intensity Date: May 30 Status: Final flush in progress – harvest slightly delayed Today marks Flowering Day 59, and the Sour Frootz are now well into the ripening phase. For the past three days, only pH-adjusted water has been given, initiating the flush phase. At this point, the nutrients in the soil are nearly depleted, and the plants are naturally drawing on internal reserves—visible through gradual leaf yellowing and fade. The plants are approaching ideal harvest maturity. The delay in harvest by a few days allows more amber to develop and maximizes terpene maturity without compromising overall quality. Lighting Conditions: • The LED is currently running at 50% power to gently finish the ripening process while minimizing light stress and preserving essential oils during these final days. Plant Observations: • Buds are hard, resinous, and aromatic • Strong sour/citrus funk intensifies with every day • Natural senescence is occurring – older fan leaves fading evenly • No nutrient deficiencies or toxicity present • Humidity stable around 50%, airflow is optimal • No signs of mold or late-stage issues Outlook: Harvest is likely to occur within the next 3–5 days, depending on final trichome checks and desired effect. You’re in the home stretch now, with flavor and resin peaking. Continuing to monitor closely for optimal harvest timing is key from here.

Day 29: The girls are looking great. I upped the nutes yesterday, as I have been giving them barely any at all. Will up them once again on next feeding. Looking like tomorrow. The main branch that I snapped off did not make it. Lesson learned on that one. Day 30: Removed all other lights and added the HLG 550 V2 RSpec. Did some defoliation on the girls along with another feeding. Will do straight PH'd water next go. The girls are looking strong and healthy. 💪 Just on the small side. Still having to leave the tent wide open to subside temps and humidity. Day 31: Nothing new to report. Looking very short and stubby and healthy!! Day 32: Looking like they had some good stretching going on over the 3-day weekend. Will be needing fed tomorrow after work. May water a little less this time, as it is taking 2-3 days for them to dry out. Day 33: Great stretch and bloom on the girls today! They are looking super healthy and strong! 💪 No smell yet. Day 34: Girls are looking decent. Noticed some rusty looking splotches on the leaves. I'm thinking possibly Cal-Mag deficiency? Not sure. Day 35: Not looking too happy today. I let them dry completely and watered with only Cal-Mag. Hoping the patchiness clears up for them!

The plant is growing very good i dont see any problems. I started with the LST training and cut 1 branch of wich wouldnt get much light.

This week I added 0.1ml of Jungle Indabox PH Down nutrients, the pistils are already burned, but I have to pull the soil pH down. Trichomes are still transparent, at least a crowd of weeks will still bloom. 😉

The gutter hoe grow show powered by the viparspectra XS2000 is still in action. The plants are showing that they aren't completely happy with the limited root space they have but they are growing some buds. Crescendo is definitely the most trich coated of the bunch. The big detroit energy is producing some big fat buds. Lowered the temp to 72. Other than that the juice will keep pumping and the lights will keep beaming.

This week I need to focus on keeping the heat down. I got a Spider Farmer 2000 last week and woah it brought the temperature up by a lot, so much so that I have to keep the tent open. Overall I’m really happy with this experience and I feel like I’m learning something new every day. TIMELINE: 05/14: The heat got up to 32c the other day and my plant seem to have suffered some heat stress. I’m sure she’ll recover as she seems to be pretty resilient, this one. I also watered her with some nute-free water today - and I put in some other plants to keep her company under the light. They won’t stay in there forever, but for now I think it looks pretty cute with a bunch of plants in there. 05/15: More growth! Two of her leaves got really fucked up due to the heat stress. I re-adjusted the lights so they’re now a bit further away from her. 05/16: I feel like she’s looking a bit off - light green leaves with darker edges? I might just be a paranoid parent. There’s so many ways to fuck up. 05/17: I set up my exhaust fan yesterday, but today I’m noticing a strange sound coming from it - I hope it’s not a defect fan, but just a loose screw. My plant is still looking somewhat pathetic after those hot days in the tent, but she’s growing and I’m making sure that she’s not getting too hot today. She was also fed with nutes. 05/18: Ordered a humidifier - it’s a bit late seeing as she’ll probably go into flower soon and will need lower humidity, but at least I’ll be ready for the next grow. My plant has some white tips and I’m not sure if it’s from the heat earlier this week or if it’s nute burn. I guess time will tell - right now I’m not too worried. 05/19: Got the humidifier set up! So now I’m pretty happy about my grow tent. My lady is looking good to me - very bushy. 05/20: Pictures are getting less and less flattering the bigger she grows - she’s become a freaking bush 🙈🤣 I love her tho. It’s also my birthday! So yay!

The heat stress is always a problem in my grows but now I have a new climatization system that can really help me !

Hi everyone 😁 Welcome back on another week update. If you interested to see the full week update. Please revisit this journal as will be posting daily updates. Thank you for such a great support 😊 me and my🍌💜👊 girls loving you all 💚💚💚 So far everything is going great. Girls are healthy and happy. This week I will be increasing nutrients, continue with leaves tucking and perhaps will install scrog net by the end of the week. Wishing you all a wonderful week ✨🍀✨ 06/11 day 29 Watered 500ml each pot and sprayed with water and fish mix solution. 08/11 day 31 Girls started growing faster. Good few cm in to all of the directions in one night. Watered again with 500ml each pot as belive that they need just a bit more time for the first runoff experience. 11/11 day 34 It was a Spa day for the 🍌💜👊 girls. Full package; 1st - removed 7-10 fan leaves from each girl. 2nd - LST on few longer branches 3rd - shower with fish mix and water solution. 4rd - Watering 500ml for Athena and approx 300ml for Xena. 12/11 What a great and a bit busy week with my girls. Perfect response on yesterday selective defoliation and stretching. No signs of any stress. Girls are strong 🍌💜👊💪 So far I am very pleased how this grow going 😁 Thank you all for such a amazing support 😊💜 Peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de crecimiento de estas Tropicana poison F1 de Sweetseeds.

El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 100% de potencia. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

The weight documented above is dry weight, not wet weigh. I wouldn’t dare disappoint myself by doing a wet weigh.

The girls are doin pretty good this week. Finished off L.S.T. earlier in the week. Applied first re-amendment of nutes, not including the compost tea from last week. Turned the light almost all the way up. Hoping to flatten out the canopy with a trellis net. There doesn't seem to be deficiencies on the new growth, and they're going full steam ahead so I'm happy about that.

7/1/25 Very classic Gelato Shaped nugs. Very very strong gassy nose to her. Large chunky buds. Have no complaints besides struggling with mass leaf death on this plant for some reason and can't seem to figure out why or what to do to fix it. maybe its a genetic sensitive to the heat or the humidity
