Day 76 Since Planting, Day 25 of Flower

-Only 4 days since last update so not much has changed, though buds have swelled up a bit more
-I was unable to stick to my normal feed schedule (6 day cycle) and the girls had to wait an extra day -> Top 1-2inches of medium was bone dry and the plants were very droopy and unhappy . As you can see below, they did perk back up after feeding though. Does anyone have any good recommendations on an auto feeding system for future use? I do not want to rely on hand watering in subsequent grows

-The feed strength was as follows -> 6G soft tap water, 72ml Canna A, 72ml Canna B, and 12ml Canna CalMag
-The pH was between 5.7-5.8 and the EC was ~1785uS. Plants were fed all 6G (2G each) resulting in ~15-20% runoff
-One concern that I have is that my runoff EC is particularly high for one of my plants:

Front left Plant: 2550uS
Front Right Plant: 3280uS
Back Plant: 2140uS

-I am not noticing any visible signs of stress, nutrient burn, or nutrient lockout. I am hesitant to perform any type of flushing since the plant still looks healthy. What do you guys think?

Day 85 Since Planting, Day 34 of Flower

-Buds are really swelling up now! We are about 2-3 weeks out from harvest and I am getting excited
-Another feed day tomorrow (now on a 5 day cycle) and I am planning on keeping the same strength as my last feeding or maybe just a hair stronger -> 6G soft tap water, 72ml Canna A, 72ml Canna B, 12ml Canna CalMag
-Still having high runoff EC for each plant but the girls seem happy so do not want to make any abrupt changes this close to flower
-Starting last week, I noticed a skunky undertone in the smell. Prior to this they had a very heavy green plant smell. Curious to see how this will continue to evolve in the next few weeks!!



Feeling proud of myself! Really learned so much in my first grow.

Day 100 Since Planting, Day 49 of Flower

-Holy colas! Buds are swelling more everyday and have had to tie a couple to the tent poles to keep them upright. Will definitely be using a trellis net in the future.
-About a week out from harvest and I have been rapidly tapering the strength of each feed. Today's feeding was only -> 6G soft tap water, 18ml Canna A, 18ml Canna B, 6ml Canna Calmag, pH 5.8, EC ~760uS. The next feed will see that almost cut in half.
-12hr Light intensity is in the range of 700-800µmol/m²/s. Day time temps ~79-81deg with RH of 50-55%. Night time temps are ~75-79deg with RH 47-51%.
-About a week ago, I had my exhaust fan die on me and saw some very high, but thankfully short lived, temperature spikes. New one was installed ASAP.
-Have a close up of one bud from each plant down below!




These girls smell skunkyyyyyyyyy

They are beautiful. Mine are on night 55 and my son told me he smelled fruitiness when he walked in the house this afternoon. My tent stays open so I'm immune to the smell.

Thank you! Was hoping for a bit of fruitiness in the smell too, but seems like it's going to be straight skunky. Reminds me of a lot of the strains I smoked growing up, so I'm still excited to try it for sure. I have also gone nose blind for the most part haha, only really smell it when I enter the house after being out for a while. Sounds like you are pretty close to harvest, congrats!

I am also a first time growing indoors. I have 225 W LED lights and one $15 fan. Everything is from Amazon. I use my closet in my basement and put aluminum foil on the walls. That’s nothing else. I basically not even $100 already on my second growing without spending much money as long as I can end up with 1 ounce every couple months I am happy not trying to grow pounds just trying to have fun a couple here is a couple pictures

Thank you! & I for sure saw some hints of purple in there! I think that if I had dropped my night time temps a bit lower (high 60s - low 70s) I would've really seen those colors pop. Also, ethos has been awesome and would definitely give the Grandpa's Grape Diamonds a try

Day 108 Since Planting, Day 57 of Flower, Harvest Day! *8/9/25*

-A bit late with the post but I harvested these girls a couple days ago and I am really happy with the result! Colas are bigger than I expected!
-I continued to taper nutrients down heading into the last feed which was a complete flush (no nutrients, just 6G soft tap water). Environmental conditions remained the same:
-12hr Light intensity in the range of 700-800µmol/m²/s (did not do a dark period prior to harvest)
-Day time temps ~79-81deg with RH of 50-55%. Night time temps ~75-79deg with RH 47-51%
-Here are some photos of the plants right before chopping:



-And here are photos of four different colas in hand for scale. They vary in size, structure, and density depending on the plant:




-The girls are currently hanging to dry in the tent with temperatures ranging from 69-74deg (cannot bring it down any further in the sunroom), and RH is in the range of 55-59%. The conditions are not ideal, but the best I can do with outdoor temps hitting 90's. Two oscillating fans are moved down to the bottom of the tent where they will not make direct contact with the plants and the exhaust fan is constantly pulling fresh air in at 20-40% speed.
-Hoping that even though the conditions are not ideal, I can still have a solid 7-10 day dry:



The plan is to use Grove TerpLoc bags for an ~8 week cure... but will definitely need to sample a bit before then!! (for science) haha
