week 7 flower: big fanleaves start to die off and the purple/yellow colors appear on the plant. one more week before harvest

45 day of flowering ...

did a bunch of defoliating right before the pictures, it was wicked dense. two waterings ago it got .5ml fox farm grow big in 5gallons of water. it really hasnt needed nutes yet.

My first ever harvest went great! I trimmed 3 different ways as well as flushed for different amounts of time. 24hr flush and wet trim with bowl trimmer, dried on dry rack. Aprox 4 ounces as i was smoking it soon as it dried, small buds first. 🤷‍♂️🏻 3 day flush. Wet trimmed by hand. Hung to dry. 119 grams Last two ladies were the bushy ones. I let them flush for a full week and then hung to dry. We hand trimmed them both(not as close of trim) to make edibles and oils with. 412 grams! I think I did pretty well on my harvest. I have over a pound of bud! I’m all smiles!

Runtz is heading into the final stage — this is her last week, so I’m watering daily with plain water only 💧 She smells absolutely amazing, and I really enjoy it every time I open the tent — she easily overpowers the aroma of Lemon AK and Break-Up 🍓🔥 Break-Up and the Lemon AK plants still have about two to three weeks to go, and they’re growing without any issues. Break-Up is stacking a lot of buds — she’s completely covered, and I’m really curious to see how she’ll turn out 😄🌸 And the last photos are tomatoes… 😄🍅 it’s a full-on jungle at this point — I probably started them a bit too early, but oh well, it happens. The greenhouse is already completely full too… 😄🌿 I’m thinking I might keep updating this journal from time to time with how the tomatoes and perennials are doing — just for fun 🍅.

Quite busy due to work! Will keep you guys updated.

Sempre più belle Umidità un po' instabile La notte raggiunge il 70% ma fuori piove potrebbe essere quella la causa Genetica fantastica, la amo sempre di più

Great cultivar cant wait to try! very sticky :)

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.

Everything is going well! Already want to try this baby, there's already a lot of sugar. And when do you start tasting your popcorn at the bottom of the branches? :)

Start of week 3 everything is looking good so far

Another great week for the girls, I have not seen a single deficiency, other than the odd yellowed leave under the canopy, typically due to lack of light. I will come through soon and do a defoliation of both tents to allow for more light to penetrate, and perhaps get a good push for some girthy colas 😋. I have lowered the temps a bit in the tents by controlling my lung room temps, and they are maxing out at 77 degrees and hitting a night time cool of about 70. I have also lowered the humidity to hover between 47 and 52 %. Hopefully will start to get some nice colours as they finish. As I mentioned before, when I water is when I like to get under the canopy and check the stems and leaves for anything that shouldn’t be… and typically once a week after watering I’ll wipe down the tent and sanitize any surface I can. There is no reason to get lazy, that’s how you get Pests, Mold, and PM. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Day 29 - All the ladies are now in flower & starting to stretch like crazy! The Rock Machine has a very nice natural canopy, can’t wait to see how these buds turn out! They are seem to be very healthy which has me wondering if I should even bother with any nutrients?? Any opinions please let me know! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱🙏🏼

Yesterday I discovered that, in order to change my timer, I didn't put the clock back onto it. Now they had 3 hours more light on the third day of flowering. Exactly the kind of oopsies this grow really doesn't need. But it happened and all back on a normal schedule, but I hope the OHS en GG4 aren't affected by it too much... One accidental re-vegging is more than enough for a year. Also, these sensitive strains can hermie on me for lesser reasons so from now on I'll be checking for male signs daily. The XTraKush is performing as advertised, with enormous stretch, these plants can go 10 ft up according to the breeder. So I'm tying them down and managing this to fill out the space. With all the stuff going on, this 'underdog' strain might even prove most resilient, when all is said and done. They seem to respond really well to the SP-3000 light and If you are in the market for a new light, consider this option from Mars Hydro. Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me try it, it is a dream of a light. I compared it to my old light again and PAR values are not even in the same ballpark. Thank you for checking my diary and taking the time to read my adventures! Hug Bud

Another week of good growth. I think. I don't like how the lower leaves are turning yellow already so early in the flowering period. I give it all she might need.
