Good afternoon tokers and growers, its Saturday, and I'm miles behind due to being away with the family for a few days, enjoyed every minute of it, but now got to catch up. lol I put the plants on auto flush for the three days we were away, you don't need to be there to flush, so dropped lucky for a change.
Got back to yellow'ish fan leaves and well flushed plants.
So the some times unpopular job of trimming was upon us, like decorating, it looks good when its done though.
Been doing a couple of hours after work, done yesterday evening, all hung and trimmed. The Bud Rot wasn't as bad as it seemed, you here of folk spraying all sorts of shit on their buds to rid them selves of it, you then have to smoke the said chemicals, over the years I've had Bud Rot a few times, first time I chopped off all of the dead and dying tops, but all I did was spread it to the other tops, so suffered a half a grow loss, to say I was pissed off was, then the next run I got it again and lost interest in the grow thinking I was going to lose another half a grow, so I did nothing, and surprise surprise I lost about a tenth, so now I leave it alone and not spread the spores by opening up the buds to the air, and especially my fan, and I SEEM to do ok, not saying this will work for every one, just don't panic.
I've enjoyed this grow, been no problem at all, apart from losing the Critical Kush at the seedling stage but then, all the seeds in that pack were under par, not the usual high standard of Barney's. Right, lets do some pics.
Before chop. Week nine of flower, and last standing group shot.
After chop. This is the ballast just warming up an MH bulb, nice looking green.
Hangers in better light.
Some nice looking donkeys, like this Chocolate Skunk, quite pleased with this one.
Amnesia Lemon. Bit blurred, it was late in the evening.
Franco's Lemon Cheese, with the rot.
Franco's Lemon Cheese with rot removed.
Some good larf and side buds for the hash bucket, drying in the mesh bowl.
Here we are at the start of the drying stage, buds should be ready to jar by next week, then while it spends some time curing, I'll be upgrading my air intakes to larger specimens, so a bit to do later on, but first we have to wait for this lot to dry. So join us again next week to see what we yield in the white buckets, until then, just keep tokin folks.
