Smallest plant of my grow but also fastest strain. Beautiful purple on her. Some white hairs but pretty sure those are foxtails. In fact, most of the foxtails have turned brown lol. Still Some nice chunky buds from her! My first truly purple strain!

Weather has been horrid for flowering. When it's hot, temps reach 33C to 35C but humidity is around 65% to 70%. With a 200W dehumidifier running 24/7, I can get humidity to a comfortable 55%-60%. However, temps will shoot up to above 35C sometimes. Heat stress!
When it rains, temps are nice around 29C to 33C. Humidity can be up to late 80s. With the dehumidifier running 24/7, I'll be lucky to maintain humidity at below 65%. Bud rot risk!
So it's pretty much a gamble at this point. Some plants will do better than others and there is really nothing much I can do besides running the AC 24/7, in a room that exhausts Air outside. I have a 6 inch and an 8 inch Fan exhausting hot air outside 24/7. The AC will be working non stop and I don't even wanna imagine the bill. So I'll live with it. Still growing some good buds regardless.
Group shot in the tent. More pics when I'm less occupied with stuff.

Very tiring day. I only remove leaves. Don't even trim much if any at all. Still…these 4 plants left me exhausted lol.
Gelato41 Auto from Seedstockers chopped at Day 78 or so. Lost her main cola early on to budrot. So far, no sign of any more. She will not stand upright so can only take hanging pics.
Very big chunky buds. Sticky too. Lowers are a little airy though but she was in a corner without any training. Had to add support to these buds. Very easy to grow really. As an Indica dom, she took the heat like a champ! Very impressed so far. Now to wait for the dry/cure.
You can see the missing top cola lol
Lowers a little airy but still frosty.

THC Bomb chopped at around Day 87. I lost 90% of all tops to budrot. But what's left is equally impressive. Just not as big. You can see the signs of heat stress on her but her outstanding genetics shines through. Never had a THC Bomb not put out major frost.
You can see the missing tops lol
Even the lowers are frosty af.

Auto Gorilla Bigfoot from ShortStuff chopped at around Day 93 or so. I wanted her to be really ripe for harvest. Her level of frost is very very high from early on. I'm hoping she'll be a good sleeping strain. Yield wise, no other plant rivals her this round. Frosty and hard nugs right down to lowers. Signs of heat stress can be seen on buds but she took it well overall. Was still drinking a lot when I chopped her.
These are some buds from very low down.

Berry Bomb in 1 gallon chopped at Day 95. She was a runt early on and only took off after a month. I gave up and put her in a very low light corner due to space restrictions. When she picked up, I had nowhere else to put her. She only got some good lighting about a week ago so very happy with her considering. Gonna just take some tops for Vape and perhaps dry ice hash the rest.

It's like you read my mind. I was telling myself I should do an update on Optic Foliar. Its about time too.
As I mentioned in earlier updates, I spray with Overgrow every Mon, Wed and Fri. It's extremely cool to see them absorbed so quickly without beads. I spray it only until flower. Have stopped since. Have not used Switch.
My personal observation is that it's a good tool to have when facing deficiency early. My issues whether deficiency or lockout always only happens in flower so not sure if it's appealing enough for me. I wish I could say I'm seeing a difference between plants given Optic Foliar and plants that don't. However, I'm not seeing any with my eyes. I wish to note that this may be due to my not so ideal growing climate. Other growers have observed significant difference though.
Sticky Fingers chopped at Day 83. The plant looks terrible as I neglected her and the last remaining girls. These remaining ones do not like the heat one bit. Actually, this plant is one of the better looking ones lol. She had a deficiency and then serious nute burn from over topdressing. Heat stress played a part too as she grew rather tall.
Heavy top colas. Again, could not get her to stand straight after removing from tent. So it's hanging pics again. I also did not remove a lot of the dead leaves and it shows in the pics. Very mold resistant. Not a single bit of rot despite being so chunky.

Sticky Fingers 1 chopped at Day 86.
A big plant. Tried to take a pic of her upright before removing from tent and this is what I got.
Gotta hang her up to take pics again.
Like Sticky Fingers 2, I'm not very happy with this harvest. Nute burned and Heat stressed her bad. You can see the scars on her. However, smell and frost seems good so can't complain much considering.
