Since I'm playing catch up with documenting my first grow cycle, I'm going to combine weeks and just give updates. I mentioned in the last weekly comment about adding the wicking bases and how that can be potentially problematic. Well here's where I noticed the issue but mostly with the Orange Sherbet sativa. I started noticing changes in color and leaves that didn't look good to me. Fortunately, I have a couple of great friends who also grow and have been able to take advantage of their knowledge and experience along the way. I highly recommend doing this if you have friends who also grow. Anyway, I had one of my friends come over and it was determined that the issue was due mainly to overwatering. We decided that with the wicking bases in addition to the humidity level in the tent, that the plant was staying too wet. Catching this quickly and addressing it is huge with autos since they tend to be more delicate that regular plants (as I understand things anyway). To address the overwatering issue, I immediately stopped using the wicking bases and let the plants dry out for about a week. I did no watering at all for the week but kept the humidifier going. That really helped correct what was going on. I then decided that I was no longer going to use the wicking bases at all and only do top watering. You'll see as I move forward with documenting this grow cycle, that I changed my mind again on this once the plants went into flower. But hey, what do you expect, this was my first ever grow.

No bug or disease problems. I even took her off veg nutes way too soon and she recovered like a fucking champ. I’m popping two more this week. Unfortunately i didn’t weigh it because Of some very unfortunate circumstances that I was dealing with at the time. I essentially had to vacate my premise within 24 hours. A few days after harvest. Anyways. I ended up smoking the whole thing with my friends and it was straight fire. The terps were crazy also. Super sweet. After curing she had a very sweet smell like bubblegum / grape. This was only my second harvest ever.

Lovely strain, likes food and consistent environments. Hard dense nugs, very potent sativa effect, smells like raw mango. Will take it a week longer next time.

Upgraded to a Sanlight 1.5 Evo 4 120 and its such a lovely piece of engineering! I reallly love it! Imo its worth every Penny, especially for the lengthy grow tents like my 120x60 (4x2). Gave another dosage of the organic phosphor flower booster. I got kinda scared about botritis/bud rot because she was su bushy snd had overlapping bud sites…. so i defoliated her insides pretty rigorously. Maybe not the best for autos but id rather have sloved growth than a moldy crop lol. Some buds really look very thick and resinous but some lack a bit behind. Day 63: removed a few more leaves but i hope the airflow in my tent will help me to keep avoid any bud rot.

Day 107 Today marks day 107 of the grow, and the plants are looking mature and well into the flowering stage. The front plant shows a stunning display of dark green to purple hues across the fan leaves, a clear sign of late flower coloration - possibly influenced by genetics and cooler night temperatures. The buds are dense and frosty, with trichomes covering nearly every surface, giving a rich, sticky appearance. The pistils are starting to darken and curl inward, indicating that the plant is approaching its final weeks before harvest. The canopy is nicely even, suggesting that training earlier in the grow paid off well. Some lower fan leaves are showing slight discoloration and minor nutrient wear - normal at this stage as the plant redirects energy toward finishing its buds. The leaves' darker tone and slightly glossy texture suggest nutrient levels are still balanced, though it might be time to begin thinking about tapering off feeding soon and preparing for a flush.

Another week done, finished up week 6 of flowering, week 10 of the whole grow. The buds are continuing to fatten up, inching closer and closer to harvest. Noticed the first few Amber tricombs on some of the upper buds, going to be leaning off the big bud and switching to overdrive to help aid in ripening and the final bulk. I’d like the run them another 4 weeks giving them a full 9-10 weeks in flower. But will judge harvest on a near 45/55 or 50/50, Cloudy/amber tricomb production.

still seeing bud swelling and pistil growth. no visible fade yet.. vase cutting finally started to fade.... going to taper back to the boost only now going forward and ensure it doesnt dry out.. can see a bit more of its sativa traits in the bud structure now too which is interesting
