Grump's Guzzlers Grow 🌱

[GrumpAzz]

Starting to swell and pack on the frost..


They got a res change the other night with nothing but PK and FADE at ~500 ppm. Still a rock solid res without any kind of pH adjusters/buffer. PK and FADE in my RO landed right at 6.0 and has held that for a few days. I keep saying it, but I'm very pleased with Athena's lineup. Stable resevoirs and happy plants. Hopefully this FADE gives them a boost in terps like advertised. These things are super smelly as is.

I started swapping reds for blues on the light spectrum when I did the res change. Right now we're at 49r:99w:89b. I'll max out the blues tomorrow and stop the reds at 39, then slowly start reducing intensity. 2 more weeks, possibly 3. Pretty sure this is the middle of week 8.

The front two plants aren't smelling like the description on HSC's website. They claim Guzzlers comes with a chemical spill/nail salon/ammonia funk. I'm getting nothing but tropical fruit/haze on the front two. The back one might have a chemical funk but nothing like described. That's not a complaint because the tropical fruit/haze smell resembles one of my favorite strains from the past.

CANNOT WAIT TO BURN THESE BRITCHES DOWN.

Looks good bro! What's the fade nute made of?

We'll see whether or not it works. It's my first time using it and first time growing Guzzlers. I won't have any evidence to whether or not the FADE actually does anything. I've had decent terps on all my grows, but nothing that's been surprisingly strong. So if this harvest has some out-of-this-world terps, it can only be either A- the strain, or B- the FADE.

I am super stoked on these plants though. A nice sweet tropical fruit nose with a gassy undertone. Has a sort of Hazey piña colada smell. Best smelling plants I've had so far. Absolutely mouthwatering. Hope it really finishes strong.

Sounds good to me lol

The 7% chlorine surprised me, but prolly something to do with its intended purpose

Thanks man

Almost through the 9th week here and they're all looking great. The tallest one is perfect. Large frosty nugs with a very loud piña colada sort of haze profile. The other two have done fine, but they're a little leafier than I'd like, plus the super squat one didn't end up getting the light she deserved.


I started pulling out the reds and lowering the intensity. I'll drop the whites down daily and finish all blue for the last few days. I expect to chop Tues-Thurs next week. Those are my last days off before the baby arrives. The smaller two could probably use another two weeks, still trying to spit white hairs.


Even at the lower ppm, they've still been drinking more than they've been eating. Ppm have continued to rise, so I've add RO to both the top-off and lower sites to dilute it down a bit.

Well my baby came a bit early so I went ahead and chopped before we bring him home. Biggest plant was the most mature and yielded close to 8 ounces by my best guess.


Little plant was pretty close to done as well but only brought 2 maybe 3.


Back plant wasn't quite ready but she got chopped anyway. I'm guessing 4-6 ounces from it. Not the biggest nug I just never stopped and snapped a pic of a nicer one.


Smells so fruity and wonderful. 2 held onto the tropical haze sort of terps and the other about the same with a little skunky note to it. I'll get a smoke report and final weight after they're dried, and another smoke report after about 2 weeks in grove bags.

Stay tuned to hopefully see me cross over the one pound boundary. LET'S GOOO

I was talking to myself and I said "Self... 72 degrees is doable but we could prolly find a portable AC around here."

5 minutes later i'm in the truck headed to town.
Maybe I can pull off a 60/60 dry and save these killer terps.

Nice haul man!
I just recently got a portable ac, its definitely a handy thing to have.

Seeing crazy humidity spikes. Up to 72%. I'm at the hospital now so I'll probably have to have a gander when I get home.

Beautiful harvest. Congratulations on the new son!

Yeah, I'm sorry man, congratulations @GrumpAzz !!!

Holding a pretty solid 65 degrees at 60% humidity. This should equal a decent dry. I'll go down and toss some nugs tonight to avoid flat spots.

Red square: AC in the tent. Temps got down to 60 but I was having wicked humidity spikes. 72+% was too high for my liking so I pulled out.

Blue square: pulled the AC out of the tent and aimed it at the tent's intake. Was getting 65 degrees and keeping the 60% humidity setpoint easily. The temp spikes are when the house AC wasn't running.

Green square. Still aimed at the intake but with a little box built around it like a tiny lung room. Seems to be the best of both worlds. Temps are still dropping, reached 63 so far, with no spikes and the humidity setpoint is easily held.

Gonna get a good dry on these sumbitches.

Congratulations
Any updates? Baby pic should be okay to post.

Everybody is home and happy. Big sister just adores him and Mom is recovering great.

Little man is not a fussy baby. He barely cries and he's been such a good boy.
