Got my head screwed on right for this one bongsmilie. Here she is. The sweet skunky girl. She actually defoliated herself throughout flowering. She's actually around 30-40% amber on the top colas so I will get an idea of a pretty late harvest on these. Also a pic of the last HWFP of my first grow (lemon cleaner girl) all alone in the tent.image.jpgimage.jpg

All done! Chopped the last girl. 510g hanging, and I threw a bunch of bud into the hash bag. 265g popcorn and that other bud to be exact. Looks like the total smokable weight should end up just shy of 1lb. (Total for all 3). I have around 8oz wet popcorn/bud for hash. Pic of the tent now :eyesmoke: Yesterday 'a harvest on the left, and tonight's on the right.image.jpg

Wow man, your plants and harvest are beautiful. Right now I have two heavyweight fruit punch, three female iced grapefruit and one royal queen power flower going and I'm going on the 9th week of flowering and my fruit punch are definitely going to be the last ones finished. I've actually been following your grow for a while because I was of course doing research in what I had growing myself, but I never posted. Now that you're finished though I figured I'd offer my congratulations and say well done, your plants are beautiful. I'm not going to harvest as much from mine as you did though, i have 6 plants under a 400 so my light is spread thinner. I'll post pics within the next 48 hours, because I'm curious as to how much longer you think mine will take. Today(Friday) will be the 61st day of flowering, how long did the plants you just harvested take?

Well done Figgy ! And thanks for keeping such a useful journal. In the last week I've been smoking some popcorn buds I quick dried in the microwave. Got me pretty wasted with a very clean awake cerebral high feeling. Can't wait to hear about your drying and curing and of course smoke report ! btw are you scrogging next grow ? Because I think I will - I like the 400w light but I need a better way of getting more foliage filling the useable light footprint next grow.

Welcome to the thread Walkin. My plants are 8 weeks into 12/12 today so you are a few days ahead of me. Love to see pics of your plants. Do you notice your HWFP to be different phenotypes ? I think Figgy and I have 3 or 4 different phenotypes between our 6 plants - though of course it's only a small sample. But one pheno with purple flowers and stems seems to mature a few weeks faster than the others.

Thanks Walkin! Learned a ton, and had a blast with this grow. A couple phenos were found, but so far the there's a sweet smelling, dark green with some purple that comes through in the calyxes, fast flowering pheno that takes around 60-70 days.

I'm not 100% sure though on these last two. The foxtailing threw me off with so many new pistils. The spots on the buds where I was taking cuttings to check trichs under the microscope were not mature spots so the trichs I saw were immature. I probably could have choppier these last two a week ago if I wanted. I also burnt these pretty bad which I'm sure caused some slow down.

Thanks Apple. It was a long 4.5 months, but definitely paid off! The bud keeps getting better the longer it sits, but I will post smoke reports after 2 months cure on all the bud.

I'm still not sure what I'm doing next grow. I just placed an order yesterday for some Breeders Boutique gear. Picked up 2 packs of fem Dog and one Engineer's Dream. It will come with some good freebies too. I also have some Blueberry Crisp from AMS, one more HWFP, and one WOS Strawberry Blue. I'm doing an indica dominant run so either the Dog, Engineers Dream, or the Blueberry Crisp. No scrog until I run the HWFP and Strawberry Blue which I know will love the training. I'll keep ya posted.

So total weight in jars was right at 1lb. with 1/2lb. wet popcorn and bud for hash. I'm fucking stoked! Some of these will be long term storage (2-5 yrs. vacuum sealed). Lots will be enjoyed by the wife and I :blsmoke:. Smoke reports will be added here on each plant as the 8 week cure finishes.

So here's some final thoughts on Heavyweight's Fruit Punch:

- Good yielding strain. I really did not expect his weight from 3 plants (1lb dry in jars + 1/2lb wet popcorn for hash).
- Bulletproof! I really took little care when it comes to zero light at lights out. I was constantly in the tent during dark periods with a flashlight or garage lamp. I burnt the crap out of these, and they pushed through. Temps were on the high side during flower. Usually around 84-85* with lights on in flower. My airflow is great, but these buds are not super dense so I would say they are probably not super susceptible to mold unless humidity was crazy high, or no moving air was available.
- Great starter strain. I can't imagine a first grow any easier. The only real problems I had were nutes (not going organic again).
- Great sativa high. So far the high is uplifting, not energetic but you can get stuff done (I can clean, do projects, or yard work and not feel sluggish).
- They love training! I have one seed of these left and will be scrogging it when I grow it out. If you want to top or FIM then start early. I started after the 6th node, but would do after the 2nd next time.
- Average on the nutes. When I pushed the nutes lightly they burnt a little, and when I tried a couple weeks later they really didn't like it!
- They stretch. Mine went 2.5x
- Plants harvested on day 60 (top of plant 1), 69 (bottom if plant 1), 93 (plant 2), and 94 (plant 3).
- Watch for foxtailing. This threw me off with all the new pistils. The last 2 plants could have probably come down around day 80-85 with 5-10% amber trichs.

Overall I am very pleased with how this first grow went! I would highly recommend this strain to anyone just starting to grow, or anyone who wants to enjoy a heavy leaning sativa strain. Smoke reports will be here as soon as possible.

I've followed your whole thread and the info you provide is really great. This is the ideal thread for someone to check out when they're considering growing a strain or looking for info while growing one. This is the only thread of its kind i found for any of the strains I'm growing.

Update on my grow:
I harvested the top half of everything I had except the fruit punch because it's at least two weeks behind. I'm gonna post a picture of them, I want you to take a look and tell me what you think

Glad this may have helped Walkin. Post up pics of the Fruit Punch! I'll also help with any questions anyone has about the strain.
