Had some trouble with aphids at the start, but they’re mostly under control now (honestly, I'd rather smoke a bit of “protein” than pesticides or buy street weed lol). The plants are now in week 6 of flower. The breeder says 7-9 weeks to finish, but I’ll be keeping an eye on the trichomes to know for sure. :)

They’ve grown pretty tall because I had them outside in a greenhouse for the first two weeks, but they didn’t get enough light there. I moved them indoors to the tent, but I think that’s how they got the aphids. Because of the low light, they stretched a lot during veg.

I’m planning to harvest around the end of October. With the trim and popcorn buds, I’m going to try making my own THC vape juice. Never done it before, but I’ve already done decarbing for edibles, so it shouldn’t be too hard.

Anyone here made their own THC e-liquid before? I’ll post my results in a few weeks!

Those plants are gorgeous and I love to see the soil 🤩

That bud looks killer how many watts of light do you have in there?

Thanks, I really appreciate it! I’m running 150W with a Mars Hydro TS1000 LED right now, but I’m planning to upgrade to a bigger tent and stronger light soon. I’m using BioBizz Light Mix soil, planted directly into 5-gallon pots (no repotting this time). Thinking about trying hydroponics in the next grow—just curious to see how that goes!

Planting directly into the pot is the way for sure, transplanting sucks lmfao

Hydro is a whole new animal, I've never tried but I'm excited to see how it goes for you
