Day: 97
Three weeks of curing is. Finally. Fucking. OVER!!!! Candy Cream is ... YES!! Great smoke. Super tasty and crazy smooth hit. Straight to your dome, face, and eyes... then a nice body chillโnot couchlock. Nugs are crumbly but still sticky... only lost maybe 5% of nug mass in jars due to settling. ๐ Iโll grow this again. Definitely growing this again. ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐จ. ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐จ

Clip and Cure!! Loooove this day!! Had three plants...all about 16-18โ tall... multiple colas from LST... hung in attic as trimmed plants...moisture retention from stems and leaves helped maintain the humidity...๐... produced between 0.75 oz. and 0.85 oz. per plant!! Very happy!! ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ No real crystal loss in trimming/transport... Uber careful. ๐ Any dry, crumbling foliage left was trimmed and saved... finished buds straight into curing jars. They shouldnโt compress much at allโ drying was pretty spot-on. Saved a trophy bud of course. ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ฟ๐ Really enjoyed this grow. Learning every day. Hope this helped/helps someone... or was just a good show. Will give you a smoke update after a few weeks of curing! ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐จ

About to go dark. 48 hrs should finish the grow and then on to harvest. Leaves are becoming purple and orange... trichome check shows cloudy middle and bottom buds, amber top buds. ๐ Bud density is encouraging and the overall size is impressive for 18โ plants!!

Growing to Dry.... these ladies are about ready... few more days of dry growth to remove water from soil and plant...trichome check shows top colas are ready, bottom buds are NOT. Buds are dense but fluffy, not too sticky, and have a deep, fruity stink. Almost there!! ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐

jay sean46 What microscope do you prefer to check the trichomes?
nobuddyatall I use a Carson hand-held LED 60-120x pocket scope. Super affordable on Amazon and crazy easy to use!

Good heavy water last night... defoliation helped... I think weโre close on the 3 Ladies!! I pulled all the branches of the straggler toward the center and anchored them with wire clips.... having ALL the bud sites together seemed to help it with flowering. Sheโll still be in bloom looonnng after the other three are harvested. But sheโs got a lot of potential!! ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐

Looking good!! That fourth plant is ... different. ๐คทโโ๏ธ still looks awesome, but may be slightly varied strain or completely different seed?? Great bud sites, stacking nicely, crystals abundant at colas, light at 12-14โ... bloom at 22:2. Still tucking fan leaves where possible for light exposure... watered last night..

First full 22 hrs of Bloom. Light is maxed on pulley...about 14โ up. All ladies are stacking buds nicely... density and size are encouraging already! 3 out of four plants are identical in every way... Fourth is still not in the same phase. ๐คทโโ๏ธ. White hairs developed, same height as others, same schedule and everything- just not a follower I guess!! Weโll see where she goes! ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐

Going to bloom cycle in a day or two. Last plant just caught up... moved her under light and moved others back a little... giving her a little more time to โbud upโ before bloom.

3 of the 4 have white hairs forming on tops... all at about 10-12โ tall... bushy and good spread on leaves and nodes... continued LST to get light exposure everywhere... leaf-tipping helps too...trying to maintain height and width . ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ

Scrog has been removed... was doing all the density stuff rightโ but plants arenโt growing BIG enuff fast enuff... Will stick with tipping and LST for remainder of grow. Great foliage density and improved spread from last crop. ๐ Keep on keepinโ on! ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ

Scrog installation. LST made foliage dense, nodes erupted everywhere, kept plants short n squat, and worked just right. ๐ Scrog hanging from light, light at 16โ, still on 22:2. Water last night. Hoping the weight of the screen will be enuff. Itโs tight and not stretchy at all. I can raise the screen as needed at the anchors.โ actually raised it AFTER photos so plants could grow into ITโ instead of forcing growth from the start. ๐คทโโ๏ธ ***last 7 photos are pre-screen... to show what I was working with.*** ๐ค๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ

Ladies like their new digs!! Transplant went WELL! Everyone was vertical after 12 hours... had a good water... now the LST continues. Started with main stems only... will hit lower branches once they have some length. Back in the tent... opposing the light... still 12โ and 22:2. Also... some pics of the 16 smaller prongs for later LST. Wonder-wire is wonderful. ๐

Transplant... they say not to with Autoflowers... I had good luck on Grow 1โ Iโm sticking with it. 10 oz. starter cups to 1.5 gallon pots. Moving on up!!

All plants have responded well to LST Phase 1.... no visible damage to stems, leaves, branches...

LST is working the way it should. Already seeing undergrowth becoming second canopy. The metal prong things work well... gently slide em out of soil and off plant, re-bend the lady a little, and gently reposition into soil. Gonna continue after re-potting. ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐๐

Scrog Net DIY Build... soโI said I was gonna post pics of the build... but Iโm a stoner. I remembered THAT too far in to start over. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ So hereโs the finished pics. 26โ square-ish to fit inside the 30โ square tent. Iโm probably gonna hang it directly from the light โitโs probly heavy enuff to do the job via gravity...and the mesh is tightโthere isnโt much stretch. Also will keep the plants a consistent distance from the light. ๐ค๐คทโโ๏ธ Anyway... let me know whatcha think! ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐จ
