Day 56 Flower — final update before chop. This’ll be the last live update for this run — I’m planning to cut next week and will drop a proper harvest post once everything’s dry and weighed. Gotta say I’m stoked: buds are looking sick, smells are off the charts and after 8 years I can’t wait to finally burn my own harvest. Quick real-talk: biggest headache this run was the night humidity (box was sitting in a wet cold garage — nights were brutal). I ordered the Spider Farmer heater ages ago expecting it to sort that, but shipping got messed up and it never showed on time. If I didn’t already have their inline fan and controller I probably would’ve cancelled and gone another route. Still — despite the rough nights the plants pulled through and the colors/terps turned out gorgeous. Lights/Setup note (what I saw): LED for veg worked great — compact, short internodes, dense canopy. HPS gave the flower its extra stretch and way denser colas — difference was obvious in top size and nug density. Next round I’ll run veg under LED and flip flower to HPS for that chunky, heavy bud structure. General impressions & vibes: Resin city. Most tops are sticky and frosty as hell — touch a cola and your fingers get that gooey, sweet grime immediately. Colours are stunning: purples, bronzes and deep greens — especially on the kush phenos. Cold nights helped bring that out even though they stressed the tent a bit. Canopy filled nicely — lots of even colas across the screen. Smell is absolutely lovely: sweet, cake-y, kushy funk depending on the corner. Strain-by-strain notes (photos + what I noticed) Wedding Cake Portland — sweetest, creamiest nose. Tops are tight and resinous with nice amber pistils coming through. Made some of the chunkiest, most fragrant flowers in the tent. Beautiful frost. Kush Crasher — most frosty of the bunch. Leaves and buds look like they were powdered with sugar. Strong kush terp profile, darker leaves. Real eye-catcher. AK-47 — classic structure, reliable resin and nice citrus/earthy notes. Good mid-bud density, chunky and fragrant. Very consistent. Double Krush — leaner colas but loaded with crystals. Has that layered aroma profile — kush backbone with sweet overtones. Looks like it’ll smoke quite smooth. Wappa — star of the show for me. Fat main colas, gorgeous purple bronzing and a sticky, punchy aroma. Dense, hard buds that scream quality. If there’s a top-shelf winner in this round, it’s Wappa — chunky, potent and beautiful. Big shout: Wappa brought the goods. Detroit Runtz — sweet and fruity, bag appeal for days. Colas are a touch lighter but super sparkly and smelly, classic runtz vibes. Run summary / final thoughts I made mistakes (low nights + humidity were a pain), but overall the plants handled it — produced crazy-looking, fragrant, sticky flowers. I flushed with plain water the last week and let the plants finish their thing. Next run I’ll tweak light strategy (veg LED, flower HPS) and sort the heat/humidity earlier so I’m not battling the box at critical weeks. Big ups to the girls — they pulled through and rewarded me with proper frosty buds. Also big frowny face to Spider Farmer for the late heater delivery — if you’re reading this, sort the logistics — shipping delays hurt growers (I’d been waiting since mid-November). If you want to make it right, you know where to DM. Closing lines for Wappa: Wappa was my pride this run — chunky as hell, super sticky, colors that pop and a terp punch that’ll make heads turn. Proper show-stealer. Can’t wait to chop and see what she smokes like. Harvest next week — will post dry weights and final pics. Stay tuned. ✌️🍃🔥
