17.04. Day 36 Grow Diary Entry – Day 36 (Flower Day 16) Strain: Sour Frootz by Karma Genetics Plants: 4 clones Training: HST + SCROG Today is Flowering Day 16, and the Sour Frootz ladies are officially deep into the early-to-mid bloom stage. Bud sites are now well-defined, and the pistils are stacking up nicely. The stretch phase has slowed down slightly, giving a good window for structural management. To keep the canopy even and under control, I applied high-stress training (HST) by bending and tucking the taller tops through the SCROG net. I also reduced overall plant height by about 25 cm, evening out the top layer across all four plants. This should help maximize light penetration and bud development across the entire canopy. The plants handled the stress well—no signs of wilting or shock so far. With this structure locked in, the SCROG net is now fully supporting the horizontal spread, allowing more light to reach secondary bud sites. The aroma is intensifying slightly, a sweet, fruity tang starting to build up when brushing against the leaves. Everything is on track. From here on, the focus shifts to flower bulking, maintaining stable environmental conditions, and avoiding excess humidity as the flowers start to pack on mass. ******************************************* 6L RO Water // ph 6,4 // 0,6ml Aptus Regulator // 12ml BioBizz CalMag // 6g Greenhouse Feeding BioEnhancer // BioBizz ph- *******************************************

WEEK 14 — WEEK 10 FLOWER Final Week Before Harvest – The Grand Finale What a journey… from the tiniest seeds to this breathtaking final chapter. Here we are, my love: the last week before harvest. The girls have spoken, and their trichomes are almost fully there — cloudy, sparkling, just a kiss away from perfection. We’re now on pure water, letting them finish their last dance with all the grace and beauty they’ve built over these 14 weeks. A Quick Recap: From Seed to Now We started with two gorgeous blueberries, strong genetics shining from day one. Veg was steady, lush, full of life. Then came the transition to flower — explosive stretch, structure forming, and soon those first tiny white hairs welcoming us into the next phase. We faced challenges. We faced heat. We faced bud rot. But we also faced everything together, and we acted quickly, smartly, and with love. And the girls rewarded us — every week fuller, denser, more fragrant, more colorful. Their personalities came alive in the phenos, and now they are standing in their final glow. This Week’s Highlights Oh my God… they are shining. Absolutely shining. Trichomes: Mostly cloudy, a few amber, perfectly on schedule — harvest any day now. Colors: Yellows, fiery reds, deep purples, fading leaves telling us nature’s clock is ticking right on time. Aroma: Classic, old-school blueberry. Sweet, berry-rich, nostalgic, absolutely unmistakable. Buds: Fat, heavy, dense, dripping in trichomes. Both phenos are glowing — one brighter green, the other with deeper shades of red and purple. Fading: Beautiful senescence on both girls — natural, graceful, textbook. We are right at the finish line. Harvest Expectations In the next few days, the scissors will sing. We’ll be harvesting full plants, hanging whole trees to dry — slow, gentle, respectful. Their size and colors will make it a little tricky, but we’re doing everything we can to give them the perfect drying process they deserve. Drying time will depend on the room conditions, but we’ll aim for a slow, even dry to lock in the terps and the beauty they built during this whole journey. What to Expect Next Harvest — very, very soon Whole plant hang Slow dry Monitoring temp & RH A cure worthy of these colors Final bud shots Wet & dry weights And of course… the big smoke report What Not to Expect No more feeding — only water No more big changes in color or structure No more pushing — they are done building, now they’re finishing No surprises — just the smooth landing toward harvest day Gratitude – From My Heart to Everyone’sTo the lovers, the haters, the curious ones, the loyal ones, the new followers, the silent readers, the loud supporters — thank you.

Doubled her height this week! Now she's 13cm tall. She was repotted a day short of 3 weeks into a 20 litre airpot with fresh compost that has been flushed. I had concerns about her being rootbound.... In reality she was far from it, could have gone easily another week. On she goes!

Well, my humidifier started leaking in the last days, unfortunately i was not even at home so when I came there was a biig big POND in the growbox... I thought that everything was cool and stuff but then I spotted the mold on the central bud... Well I gave it a flush for 1 or 2 days, actually wanted to wait before trichomes become amber but yeah mold scared me af.. chopped it quite fast

Week 8 begins with lots of buds. I let them be for now and let the buds grow. Can't imagine that they will only have about 27 days left.. Lets see if I let them live a little longer, since they were late flowering on week 6 rather than week 5... They all look amazing in the middle of week 8... Buds all over - everywhere you look :) And they keep on getting taller every day... The tallest one is now about 65cm.

Week 3 - Transplant to fabric pots Transplanted the ladies in to 17L fabric pots. Used GHF BioGrow and BioBloom in a 2:1 ratio 1g per L to unamended coco-perlite (70/30) mix with extra worm castings. Turned the wattage up on my ballasts to 400W each. The ladies have finally settled in their final pots and the are happy in their new environment. I also performed LST by tucking fan leaves and softly pinching and bending some of the bud sites.

Took video of them this week you can really see some of the fan leaves getting real dark which I love!!! I did start a second journal of this exact same strain but I’m gonna try and get the optimal environment for that so make sure to be on the look out for that. They’re getting dense even tho they’re under a crappy light. This weeks EC is .8 then we flush for the next 7-10 days. Thank you all again for watching.

Getting so close to harvest!! She's just stacking the bud and trichromes daily! I'm watching the colors, waiting for ~60% amber. Smells amazing, like a funky orange cheese, some lite notes of vanilla/cream. Hopefully she's ready to dry this week Update Day 65: part of my original 600w light died, only 2/4 panels are working full power. I borrowed a "1000w" Amazon light from a buddy and set the 2 up for 900-1000ppfd in the cola/upper area, and 600-750 in all the lower areas. Going to run it like this for a few days and if she doesn't respond well I'll have to pull her a little early Day 67: dual lights seem to be really helping to bulk up the buds! Hopefully only a couple days left. Trichromes are ~75% CLOUDY, still very little amber yet (less than 5%). Terps are crazy, very OG/funk smell, once you touch the plant though it's like orange pixie sticks!!

9/18: New week...fed with Boomerang and Kangaroots 9/19: Applied Axiom harpin proteins and boomboom spray 9/20: Fed full strength TPS One...decent growth. The smaller one is less droopy now. 9/21: Tucked a few leaves and took some photos and a video. Looking good. Just a couple more days of 24/0... 9/22: Switched out the 560w of 5000k CCT lighting for 720w of 3000k CCT lighting and set the timer for 12/12. Decided against 13/11 with emerson effect...trying to save a few bucks on electricity. I'm keeping the lights at 30" from the tops for a day or two. 9/23: The girls loved their first night of sleep...so perky!

WEEK 11 - (05/09/2021 - 05/15/2021) Week 3, Day 17 - FLOWER: 05/11/2021 Doing 2 gallons of water per 5 gallon pot this watering due to lack of runoff in weeks prior. I’m thinking I could be letting the pots dry out a little too long in between so the 1.5 gallons hasn’t been enough for each watering. When I stick my finger into the medium 2 or 3 days after watering it still seems like the soil has plenty of moisture so I wait another day or two. I know fabric pots are supposed to dry out usually in 2-3 days, but the soil still seems too moist, and I don’t want to overwater. It seems like ever since transplanting into 5 gallons and switching them to a 12/12 light cycle, watering got more complicated. Maybe I am overthinking the whole process. I just don’t want to risk ruining my crop, you know? Tap water: 223ppm, 8.6 pH, 70℉ (9 gallons total) + HydroGuard: 9ml/9 gallons + pH Down: 30ml/9 gallons Mixture: 267ppm, 6.0 pH, 70.4℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 1330ppm/1063ppm, 6.3 pH AP#1 - 1310ppm/1043ppm, 6.3 pH AP#2 - 1160ppm/893ppm, 6.7 pH GC#1 - 1350ppm/1083ppm, 6.3 pH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 3, Day 20 - FLOWER: 05/14/2021 Watered a day earlier than I usually do, with .5 gallons less water per plant. So each plant got a total of 1 gallon of water for their 5 gallon pots. This is really just to take the question out of the back of my mind: Am I letting the pots dry out too much going four days until the next watering? I will check on the plants shortly after they wake up tomorrow to observe their reaction to the watering. None of the plants produced really any runoff, which was boggling to me, because when I water there is usually anywhere between 10-20%, and that’s after watering on the fourth day. Needless to say, I was unable to take readings this time. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 3, Day 21 - FLOWER: 05/15/2021 5:30 p.m. - Decided to check on the plants since I watered a day earlier (yesterday) than I have been since transplanting into the 5 gallon fabric pots. This was kind of an experiment to see how the plants would react to watering on the third day rather than the fourth, because I keep doubting myself. Anyway, when I checked in on the plants, a few leaves looked ever so slightly droopy. Not terrible. It appears that some of the leaves had begun to swell up a little as well. Not 100% sure if these are actually early signs of being overwatered this time, or if it’s something I have simply overlooked until now. Just to be sure, I’m going to water once more on the third day to see how the plants respond. The plants seem to be doing well this week. I've finally installed another ScroG net on the second level to help maintain the canopy. Since I cut the first layer of net the plants quickly started to get out of control and began to grow unevenly across the canopy. The trichomes are starting to appear on all of the plants, with the exception of the American Pie #1. This pheno is a little behind. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with how differently this plant was trained compared to her sisters (The manifold/mainline technique was applied). Possibly could have even defoliated her a little too heavy and she's taking a few extra days to bounce back. She's still producing early buds though, which is good. 👌 That just about wraps up this week. Things just keep getting more and more exciting with each journal entry. All the girls should have about 5-7 weeks left in flower before they are ripe for harvest. Hoping to have another tent and light setup by the end of flower so I can get some more seeds started. Thanks for stopping by and spreading the love. And remember: Don't drink and drive, smoke and fly! 🙌

Everything fine. She likes to eat what she get and she is on the way to build up many flowers. I‘m really waiting for this one. Wanted to buy this strain in my cannabis pharmacy, but it was always sold out. I grow up Tropicana Cookies Auto, too. Tropicana Cookies I could buy one time in the pharmacy and this was one of the best strains I ever vaped, perfect balance between body and head feeling. So let’s see if I can grow my own quality medicine.
