Day 49 of flower โ Harvest season creeping up
Yo โ quick GD drop from my 120ร80 SCROG. Plants are looking proper: fat, frosty colas everywhere and the tent stinks so good. Iโm switching to water-only from here โ flushing the last stretch. Trichomes are mostly cloudy with the odd amber speck showing; Iโd say the whole lot will be ready in ~7โ14 days depending on how the last swing of amber develops.
Big realities: my garage is cold & wet (nights down near 5ยฐC, RH ~80โ85%), so humidityโs been the constant headache. Ordered a Spider Farmer heater to push intake under the canopy but delivery got delayed โ super annoying. To avoid chill Iโve had to cycle the inline fan overnight and run a tiny cabinet heater to keep temps around 15โ17ยฐC, but humidity still spikes. Zero perfect conditions here, just making it work โ and honestly the cold gave me some gorgeous colours on the buds.
Notes & general vibe: buds are tacky as hell โ every time I touch a cola my fingers go sticky with resin. Little amber popping on the tricomes now, mostly milky โ perfect for couch-locky daytime/ evening smoke depending on how much amber develops.
Strain-by-strain snapshot (positions + quick notes)
Back-left โ 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 โ heavy trich coverage, finishing fast.
Back-center โ 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 โ big terp punch expected.
Back-right โ AK-47
Classic heavy producer โ loads of colas, reliable chunky structure. Stretches a bit less, packs resin fast. One of the more even finishers in the tent.
Front-left โ Double Krush
Longer skinny colas but dense calyxes โ nice structure for my net. Terp-forward, stacking trichs well. Good contender for chop in the next week.
Front-center โ Wappa (PARADISE) โ main cola boss
Sheโs my star. Main cola is packing insane weight and is the most consistently chunky plant in the line-up. Colours are gorgeous โ deep purples, dark greens, and a thick resin coat. Wappaโs bulking like a champ and will be one of the fattest buds in the harvest. Massive praise for this one โ sheโs the poster child for this run.
Front-right โ Detroit Runtz
Frost city โ 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.
Iโll do final clean-up lollipop & remove any really dead/dying leaves before chop.
Final thought โ for an amateur out of practice Iโm stoked. Learned a few lessons (humidity control = everything), but the tentโs delivering fat, sticky, colourful colas. Wappa deserves a medal โ sheโs the queen of this round.
