Day 70 Update
It’s hard to believe it’s been a week since my last update! The week sure did fly by. I guess that’s a blessing when you’re in a hobby that occurs on a monthly scale.
With the exception of the GSC (it put on a smidge of height this past week), all my girls are just fattening now. The GSC is also fattening quite a lot too, but I’m hoping it hasn’t given up on being larger!
I’m seeing lots of fall colors in my tent. The girls are definitely signaling that they are wrapping up. I only hope they all are ready to cut within the next 26 days, because then I’m leaving town for 3 weeks for an extended Christmas visit with family. I’ll have someone water the plants, but of course I won’t have them harvest or do anything major, so it would be nice to be done by then!
Six-Shooter
The Six-Shooter is the most mature plant. I could have harvested it this past week, except I’m allowing it to age and fatten up some. I’m not really a fan of couchlock, but I’m prioritizing yield over trichomes this time, for obvious reasons lol! Starting to show some crispy leaves, 20-30% amber at the tops of colas, and a new wave of white stigmas, signaling new bud growth.
White Widow XXL
The WW appears to be signaling her ultimate demise with some brilliant yellow leaves. She looking really healthy, if not XXL
She’s still showing tons of white stigma; I haven’t even bothered looking at trichomes yet. She clearly needs another few weeks. But the colas are really starting to look nice and wide!
Crystal METH:
Crazy Crystal got to her current size/state pretty darn quickly, but she is taking her time to mature. Still throwing some white stigmas, so she appears to be getting fatter, but her bud structure is so strange! She grows her colas like foxtails. Just a few buds by the top, stacking skinny and tall. Can’t wait to smoke her.
Also, she has the coolest purple trichome stalks you’ve ever seen!
GSC:
The underdog surges ahead! My GSC has the FATTEST buds at the terminal ends of the main colas. They are high, round, and puffy. Very different bud structure than the others, or than what I’m used to. I’m eager to break up on of the main buds, just to better understand its structure.
I think the GSC may end up being a heavy (relatively) yielder. She’s small, too, but those colas are looking better and better! Great grapefruit smell, too. I’m just worried about when she’ll be ready, as she’s only on day 62.

Nice journal and grow s62. My first grow was of photos in soil and I did many things wrong and had very small plants with low yield and light buds. The smoke is decent and overall I was happy and satisfied.
Your soil /auto grow adventure however looks awesome. Thanks for posting.

Well done s62 I sure hope your timing works for you with your vacation. I'm sure you'll be able to harvest most looks like. That purple is something else, who knew we'd see this color strain today. If you'd of showed me this strain and said it was marijuana 40yrs ago i'd of said it was food color added to the water. My my how things are changing. Never smoked that purple/black bud, may need to see what the fuss is about go to the local dispensary check it out. Great job.

Day 73 Update
I chopped down Six-Shooter! I finally decided I was seeing enough amber and size to go ahead and snip. I didn’t get an initial wet weight, but after ~14 hours of drying, I went ahead and weighed them. I got ~101 grams, which means I’ll likely have around an ounce once it’s dry. Oh well. Hopefully I’ll go bigger next time!
I will say this, though: her bud structure made her 1000% easier to harvest than my first grow. There was NO larfy, NO internodal space... she was basically all bud and sugar leaves, which is awesome. Trimming should be a bit easier too. I did 4 nugs wet, but I’ll do the rest dry.

s62 I’ve discovered , for me, that wet trimming is easier and more complete. While the smaller leaves have value, they dry and curl or shrivel inward almost “hiding’ from the scissors. I try to save every bit of valuable material but never tested the ‘ leaves make the buds harsh’ statement because it all makes me cough like crazy unless ...like a fine alcohol, I just sip it in small light puffs. But that’s been the case since 1967. Looks to me like you’ll clear near 2 oz.
