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!

Thanks, growmie! My tent is 70x70x160 cm, so about 0.5 m². I hadn’t really thought about the terpenes, so that’s good to know! I was also considering getting a rosin press in the future, maybe after the next grow. I like your all-natural approach with hash and rosin carts! Right now, I’m planning to use the POT by NOIDS (it’s an electric device that makes oil, wax via ethanol extraction, butter, and decarbed cannabis) to infuse Vegetable Glycerin (VG) with THC, then mix it with PG and a bit of flavor.

Nice job utilizing the space!

I will probably get some botanical terpenes for flavor to make some more “discreet”, but yeah I’m planning on using additives as much as possible, but I still currently buy carts with that shit, but I do love a nice Live Resin one once in a bit.

Your ladies are just about as long as mine, week 6, but mine says they go to 70.
