You mean breed my own plants?

hell I am working on some crosses now for next year

 

[GNick55]

Now as for my pots I let the rainwater hit them quite the difference in appearance that's for sure

you might be getting something now,.

and i see lots of 3-4 fingered leaves,.. so much so that i would be concerned of what stress is causing that,..

Your plants look great! So, you cover the enclosure when it rains? If so, when you water, do you use city water or well water?

Yes city water and fill my jugs 3 days early and I use PH up two and a half mL a gallon

That's for the single round lease telltale sign going from veg to flower to veg and now back in the flowering

They look really good. I'm envious.
I really think that planting next to a building gives some protection from the pathogens. The ones from the trees.
Of course there's always the leaf hoppers and others who transmit disease.

There is a lot of good things going on in my yard. Next to the building is protection from wind on one side as well as support. Water comes off the roof to the ground where the roots are. The spruce tree they are under adjusts PH I'd expect as well as more rain water. The yard is actually lower than my neighbors especially with the big above ground pool they have. Wind gusts move trees all over but the plants not so much. The earth is good growing earth with nothing added. There is lots of sun because the sun moves in an arc facing the building. It's made for growing !!!

I admit I'm a bit of a Lucky13 fanboy. I get that you like to try different strains too :-).

Love it!!! LOL

Quick question I really noticed this year lots of honey bees and my enclosure flying through all the buds

So does this mean we're going to have THC honey

We've had lots of bees too! But have you seen them LAND on the flowers? Seems like they might get stuck. LOL

Actually they'll chase me out that hello jelly it's very sweet smelling smells like ripe fruit

 

[tall boys]

I'm hoping to have another watch dogs shows up like last year

 

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

You are fine, and I kind of know what to do, it's actually doing it that has me stuck.
Last night after the storm, I looked at my plants with binoculars 'cause it was still thundering and the house is about 200 feet from the garden.
I thought I saw the Afghan flattened and was devastated. I didn't even want to go back out there again. But, turns out it was fine, not even 1 broken branch, alls right with the world again. LOL

Im late as usual.


where i cut my mystery sativa back so much through summer, she has some real wimpy stems up top now.

When it rains heavy she lays down, when the sun comes out she stands back up lol.


I should probably help her out a bit, but ive been real lazy and kinda hoping she hardens her stems a bit.


Immediately following rain:

so far she stands back up unassisted lol. IM sure that will change as her seedss and flower finish developing though.

I had one last year that I screwed up somehow! Was a wonky, wimpy, tangled, mess! What is a defoliators nightmare! Thought for sure I was gonna mold up! But it took to bending well. And with a little TLC turned out to be a pretty good producer! I think I screwed up. It’s internal clock somehow, because I was playing around, experimenting with shade in the beginning!

I chopped BMS this morning. The garage is set up for a comfortable rough wet trim. Listen to tunes, a nice wire support to hang buds on, a big box to put leaves and stems. Hopefully by tomorrow she's done.

that plant actually has the strongest main meristems of any plant i had out there. It got cut back near the ground 2x, so grew up with hundreds of tops, literally. Had to thin them out big time, and the result was much thinner stems then she had to begin with unfortunately.

She still came back to be over 7ft tall and looking like shell prob pull between HP and a LB depending on density. Probably more since shes been hit with female PB1 pollen pretty heavily. I can already feel the seed weight in her when i wiggle a branch. Idk for sure though. Heavily pollenated sativas like to stop stacking so fast most of the time, her bud mass may not actually develop a whole lot more on most of her. Just ripen up while finishing the seeds.


Im actually most concerned with that plant producing as many seeds for me to grow and share as possible more then anything else with her though. Pretty stoked i had two giant pure sativa phenos right next to each other this season.

Off walleye fishing to the north channel we go got a muskie out there last time about 2 weeks ago I'll be walleye fishing again

busy morning because we pulled potatoes too

Weather people were wrong! Instead of raining tonight, it's started this afternoon, and I'm in the backyard harvesting/trimming my early flowering Okanagan Grape. Geesh.

@Like2Grow wish I could do that, maybe next year. Unfortunately I'm having to cut and inspect each bud for rot.
I've been cutting them off, trimming, then dunk them into a lemon juice peroxide water solution before rinsing and drying on a mesh tray.
Lots more time consuming but I have alot more confidence that I found all the mold.

Got 1 plant almost done, then the black cloud came overhead, so I cut the other one whole plant and have it hanging in the garage.
Gotta go work on it before it wilts. (hate working on them when they're wilted.)

Was just typing asking for an update. Glad you are handling business. Hopefully, you have far less you have to toss than you initially thought. Thinking of you.

Oh, weathermen wrong? Not a chance.

Best wishes for the harvest. It's a lot of work.
