Day 78 pm

Went ahead and mixed up 3 gallons of feed. Watered in about half gallon directly in the pot. The rest went into the res. Gonna go ahead and give her at least a couple more days. See if any swelling happens over the weekend.

<500ppm
5.8-5.9pH
I have yet to be disappointed when I give them a little extra time. Just keep a good eye out for budrot as those look dense and you always want be vigilant at the end of a grow. Great job on the canopy control.

Day 86

The final morning. She will be getting the chop tonight. She will hang in her tent until Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. At that point, she will be loaded into the Koolatron to finish out the dry/cure. Can't wait to find out the final weight on her. The @Spiderfarmerled G3000 300w led did a great job throughout the grow.

What's your gut feeling on bud density, trimming, and trichome density as well? Is this stuff "fire" or just more mids?
I clipped 5 branches last night, and they felt way heavier than I expected. Heavier than I remember from my first run of this plant, but I almost killed that plant early on so it had its issues. I don't smoke, so I can't tell you my personal experience with strength. That said, my brother is a daily smoker and he loves the stuff. The first batch he tried, he immediately wanted to know how much I had on hand and how much of that he could get. He smokes throughout the day. Can't really answer in trichome density as I don't know. Trimming it, it is sticky af. Just doing those 5 branches last night gummed up my scissors to the point they weren't opening on their own. My little trim bowl arrived today so I'll be testing that out tonight and seeing how it fares against the Blueberry Cupcake.

Chopped a little over half the Blueberry Cupcake tonight. Im still the world's slowest trimmer. Few hours later, I got all the fan leaves off, tossed them in the bowl trimmer, finished up the trimming the bowl.missed, and tossed them on a cookie sheet back in the tent. I threw the popcorn onto a shelf and into the Koolatron and it went up to about 72%, but as soon as ťhe dehumidifier heated up, the rh dropped pretty quickly.

Took the rest of the plant down this morning. Removed stems and fan leaves, ran through bowl trimmer, and cleaned up what needed a little hand trimming.

wet weights
~919g

Got her all loaded into the Koolatron last night. It was set at 66% with a 2% swing. It made good progress overnight, so I went ahead and dropped it to 65% this morning. And now, I wait.

Final count was just over 10 zips. 3.6 zips were popcorn and little stuff. 6.4 of the bigger buds/chunks

My goal was to top 8oz on this grow. I did that and I'm happy about it. Learning what I've learned in my 4x4 tent the last several days with the salt buildup and lockout, I am 100% sure that this plant could have done several oz more because I'm sure it had some similar lockout issues to the 4x4 plants. That said, I surpassed my goal and definitely learned a little more this time so I'm thinking it is wins all around.

Today is Day 36 from flip

Last night I plucked another 6-8 yellow leaves from underneath the canopy. Is this just because of the age or should I be upping the feed a bit? I ask because some of the leaves tips up top seem to have just a slight bit of nute burn. Just a little confused about that. Getting mixed signals. The good news is that after plucking those few leaves, I went out into the living room and my son goes, "dude, you smell like froot loops, what the hell?" Hahahaha. So I'd say it definitely has that Berry and sweet smell going on right now. :)

Just reading through this journal and it’s going great and you will have been told this by now but that’s normal for leaves to die, when to remove them remember the 3 D’S , DEAD DIEING AND DISEASED. Some let them drop off some remove.
