Close to the end, lower leaves yellowing, buds swelling , I think one more week and chop chop!

Nice buds. I've eyeballed grapefruit since I started growing fastbuds gear. FBs has some great strains and actually took over most of my grow slots. Let us know about smell, taste and potency...

DAY 71

Hi friends,
First Grapefruit chopped down on DAY 68, trichomes looks milky and plant looks done so it went down. (no regrets here)

Second grapefruit looks almost done, again trichomes look milky and plant start some foxtailing so I panicked and thought that was some sort of reveg and decided to chopped down on DAY 71, what a rookie mistake!
Despite that in the pics trichome looks done, I realised when it was too late that she was doing the last sprout of pistols and buds are not dense as I expected, what a fool I was!

Third grapefruit still going..

Thanks for visiting and happy growing everyone!

DAY 78

Hello friends,

Second rookie mistake, I left both plants drying way too much, I used the "branch test" but buds are way too dry in my opinion (12 and 10 days hanging in the dry box), anyway live and learn they said..

Third plant still going strong and I think it will be ready around week 13 or 14 (breeder suggested time is 9/10 weeks, that as well pushed me a bit in chopped down the second girl too early) and hopefully I will not repeat those mistakes..

First smoke report I'm quiete happy, smells are not very strong but present, taste very citrusy I can taste grapefruit very clear, stoned is more on the sativa sides, dry mouth and smoke a bit harsh (due to over-dry I think..)

1st girl 59g (jar almost full).
2nd girl 52g (jar totally full).

Thanks for visiting and happy growing!
