Wanted to post some more pictures, but itās dark and they all came out blurry so itāll have to wait for tomorrow. Hereās the only decent one:
Unfortunately, I probably wonāt be able to keep the cutting around since Iām probably going to have family staying in my room in about a week and my room is too cramped to have a grow area and have them stay. At least the dispensary said they can get strains that they used to have back in stock if requested, but you never know what they will really be giving you (might be different). I have a clone of it in a pot, but with my current situation I donāt know how long Iāll be able to keep it vegging in my room. I wish I had my own placeā¦
Sadly, this will most likely be the first and only run of this exact Green Crack 
Itās a shame because it grew like crazy and smells lemony/fruity already. Iāll be sure to grow a cut of it from the dispensary again someday, but who knows if it will be the same.
On a brighter note: your GC plants look great @Hoodini. I canāt believe youāre able to grow such lush green plants in the desert. We had a 103F day here and me and my plants were dying haha. Props to you.

Youāll get there man no problem š first you have to learn your environment, then learn the plants, then learn how the environment effect those plants lol not hard honestly! Itās just a lot of trial and error bro! More error than anything I cant wait for ours to be in full flower together to see the comparison in plant and bud looks 
Edit- I didnāt mean size or anything just phenotype looks! @ReikoX eh eh look at that thatās the proper use for phenotype! Lol

for whatever its worth, i hear you can keep cuttings in the fridge for up to a month(?)ā¦maybe you could keep the thing going with a nice little box or something. in-

Good idea and Iāll keep that in mind for the future when my fridge isnāt bursting at the seams already 
Can you store both rooted and unrooted cuttings? Would the cold prevent them from flowering in practically total darkness?

ā¦as i understand itā¦around 40F they sloooooow down to near stasis. not sure about light requirement though. SkunkmanSam has mentioned it in some talks.
i recall their water & light needs are also jack shit at that temp. makes sense to me. evidently he used a walk-in fridge as a mother library or something like that.

So a city inspector is showing up sometime soon. A neighbor called a false complaint on us saying someone was living in our garage and the inspector saw our garage was a mess so that was an infraction. Now since grows need to be locked up to be legal in CA (donāt know if it applies to outdoor, but why wouldnāt it) I have to stick that huge plant indoors. I donāt even think it will fit through the door! God am I pissed!!! Sorry guys just venting a bit. The older I get the more Iām starting to see I hate neighbors and government

hrrrm.
i wonder if they used the āfalse complaintā to cover their real ācomplaintā.
dunno. some neighbors are like friends or family if the time develops it. others are a damn menace.
wish u luck with whatever you decide to do.

You can get an infraction from the municipality for a messy garage?

Yep, had to rent a storage locker to store some stuff and already got fined anyways. Weāre just trying to prevent getting fined more. To be fair, we have collected an absurd amount of stuff over the years/decades, but still: Itās our damn property! Not rented, ours. Or so we thought

Ok thatās enough of my rant. Weāll see what happens, but for now back to the grow.
Some new pics, sheās definitely flowering and that sweet smell gets stronger every day. Sometimes I just rub some leaves to be able to smell it more. Going out again right now to go get another sniff, it relaxes me. Just came back and after rubbing some sugar leaves, my fingers are sticky so we definitely got some trichomes going on those leaves. Yay. You could kinda see them in the picture below:
And some others:
And lastly some of my buddyās last harvest under a microscope from same location where my plant is (harvested in mid June):
Donāt know what that orange thing is
Next nug is better, promise.
Sorry for the triple post and this very long post. Iām all over the place right now

Looks like she loved the pruning! Looks great!

Yep. I found about 7 earthworms under some pots that I was rearranging and put them in her pot. Pretty sure sheās loving life right now.

Now if SoCal has the same bugs as NorCal, Iād invest in some bT caterpillar spray and Spinosad for thrips. Bugs love dank as much as people it seems.
Iāll consider it next time, but seeing as itās flowering already Iāll keep this one all natural. The pics of that bud from a few posts ago wasnāt sprayed with anything and it came out decent.
Edit: Saw some ants on my plant so I spread some Tanglefoot around the main stem to keep them at bay. Ants = aphids and/or scale insects. Hate those little bastards, theyāre going crazy all over our property because of the heat.

one desparate measure i took to rid a kitchen of ants was to put a 5 lb. bag of sugar about 20ā from the door. every ant in the area said āfuck compost, thatās SUGAR!ā and left me alone. watching them tunnel & mine was amusing, especially as an ashtray and insecticide trial.

If you zoom in to this pic, you can see some of the trichomes on some of the leaves. Going on vacation and my buddy is going to take over her watering. Hope she stays nice and green.
Edit: I know she looks a bit light green in that pic, but I think itās just the angle of the incoming bright sun. This picture shows her true color:
