2025 Summer Grow

[apacin0]

Buds are starting to get a little stick and smell to them. It’s still faint, but likely gonna be a powerful aroma. Looking forward to seeing it grow big buds (relative to size). Leaves are changing shade of green a little darker. I’m going to defol soon. Now I have to be super careful removing the leaves.

Just defoliated. Gettin' smelly and sticky. I used shears this time because I didn't want to rip the leaves off. Getting excited about her growth!

I've been offline from the forum for a while. Thought I'd finish up this little grow journal. I harvested this little lady (seed #3) on 9/14. I got ~2.4-2.5 (~67-70 grams) ounces of dried/cured buds out of this 2.5 liter pot. I'm definitely impressed and proud of myself. I dried it for 17 days (I know it was a bit long, but it turned out fine). It's been curing in jars since 10/1, although I've already gotten rid of an ounce after 3 weeks of curing. My buddies have said good things. I've actually taken a rather long smoke break (probably why I haven't been on a weed forum for a while lol) and haven't even smoked any of it. It smells sooooo good! Wish I knew what strain it was.

I upgraded my setup towards the end of flower, so it could have been better. I now use two small LED panels above (one 185W blurple and one 100W samsung diode quantum) and two 36W red spectrum LED flood lights on the bottom. I have another plant I just harvest tonight (seed #4). It's definitely gonna be a bigger yield. I might post that on another thread. Also I never posted it, but seed #2 was stunted so bad I ended up tossing it. 2 out of the 4 seeds I started this summer made it to harvest, so I'm happy.
