Grow Diary – Day 88 (Flowering Day 68)
Strain: Sour Frootz by Karma Genetics
Plants: 4 clones
Training: HST + SCROG
Nutrients: Green House Feeding Bio Line – finished
Lighting: LED at 50% (final phase)
Date: June 8
Status: Harvest Day
After 68 days of flowering and 88 days total, the Sour Frootz have reached full maturity. Today marked harvest day.
Trichome Check:
A final inspection confirmed the ideal moment—mostly cloudy trichomes with 10% amber, delivering the perfect mix of potency, flavor, and effect for me. Buds are fully resinous, and carry an intensely rich aroma: sour fruit, citrus, and that underlying gassy funk Sour Frootz is known for.
Harvest Process:
• Whole-plant harvested
• Plants were cut at the base, intact, and hung upside down
• Leaves were left on for a slow dry to protect terpene profile and promote even moisture loss
• Drying environment set to ~17–19 °C with 50–60% RH
• Complete darkness and steady airflow maintained
This method should allow for a 7–14 day dry, depending on bud density and ambient conditions. After drying, a slow cure in jars will follow to fully develop smoothness, flavor, and complexity.
Final Notes:
• No signs of mold, pests, or stress at harvest
• Natural fade complete; plants finished cleanly after flush
• Aroma at harvest is deep and terpene-rich
• Resin content is heavy – scissors and gloves were coated during harvest
Next Steps:
Drying will be monitored daily. Once stems snap, the buds will be dry-trimmed and moved into glass jars for curing (burping daily at first). Initial smoke test expected in about 10–14 days, with full cure developing over 4+ weeks.
