Day 49 of flower — Harvest season creeping up
Yo — quick GD drop from my 120×80 SCROG. Plants are looking proper: fat, frosty colas everywhere and the tent stinks so good. I’m switching to water-only from here — flushing the last stretch. Trichomes are mostly cloudy with the odd amber speck showing; I’d say the whole lot will be ready in ~7–14 days depending on how the last swing of amber develops.
Big realities: my garage is cold & wet (nights down near 5°C, RH ~80–85%), so humidity’s been the constant headache. Ordered a Spider Farmer heater to push intake under the canopy but delivery got delayed — super annoying. To avoid chill I’ve had to cycle the inline fan overnight and run a tiny cabinet heater to keep temps around 15–17°C, but humidity still spikes. Zero perfect conditions here, just making it work — and honestly the cold gave me some gorgeous colours on the buds.
Notes & general vibe: buds are tacky as hell — every time I touch a cola my fingers go sticky with resin. Little amber popping on the tricomes now, mostly milky — perfect for couch-locky daytime/ evening smoke depending on how much amber develops.
Strain-by-strain snapshot (positions + quick notes)
Back-left — Wedding Cake (Portland)
Nice chunky cakes, early fatteners. Lots of resin, big rounded colas. Colours starting to deepen on leaves, smells super dessert-y under HPS — heavy trich coverage, finishing fast.
Back-center — Kush Crasher
The Kush genetics show: purple/burgundy stacks and dense nodal buds. Slow to bulk but super frosty now. These ones are gonna be super sticky and couchy — big terp punch expected.
Back-right — AK-47
Classic heavy producer — loads of colas, reliable chunky structure. Stretches a bit less, packs resin fast. One of the more even finishers in the tent.
Front-left — Double Krush
Longer skinny colas but dense calyxes — nice structure for my net. Terp-forward, stacking trichs well. Good contender for chop in the next week.
Front-center — Wappa (PARADISE) — main cola boss
She’s my star. Main cola is packing insane weight and is the most consistently chunky plant in the line-up. Colours are gorgeous — deep purples, dark greens, and a thick resin coat. Wappa’s bulking like a champ and will be one of the fattest buds in the harvest. Massive praise for this one — she’s the poster child for this run.
Front-right — Detroit Runtz
Frost city — tiny sugary calyxes and lots of sparkle. Slightly looser than the Kush lines but super resinous and fruity-leaning. Good final week filler.
Quick operation notes
Water-only from now on (flushing).
Trichomes: ~mostly milky, some amber; keep checking under loupe.
Humidity = main enemy. Heater + proper intake/exhaust under canopy will help once the SF unit arrives.
I’ll do final clean-up lollipop & remove any really dead/dying leaves before chop.
Final thought — for an amateur out of practice I’m stoked. Learned a few lessons (humidity control = everything), but the tent’s delivering fat, sticky, colourful colas. Wappa deserves a medal — she’s the queen of this round.
Green vibes✌️🌿
