My Mountain Tree House Grow

derkaderk · Oct 17, 2014

I just got done literally pulling every bud apart on every plant. Found at least 12-15...ripped out all the buds that had shit in them (about a zip). I'm thinking about just going ahead and chopping early...

Any advice?

Good to get the bad spots out so as not to promote rot,You should be ok if you just keep your eyes out for worms.

Good morning farm!!! It was a picture perfect fall morning here!!! A brisk 45°...and a perfect morning to give thanks to mother(earth) and harvest her bounty.

3 ladies got their final chop this morning...only a few more, ripening quickly.

Full day of trimming ahead.

Onwards....

So I guess it's time to fire up my thread once again. My girls have now begun to flower, so the show is about to begin.

Ive got 2 unknown girls in 65 gal. Smart pots....could be a few different options of genetics. The reason they are unknown, is because of early season mishaps with labels being blown out, and even the writing was erased after a late snow.....so they will probably get identified later, athough I already have my suspicions as to their lineage.

I also have several True OG crosses going that were transplanted to their final pots yesterday, along with a tester from Loran. I still have 2 starts inside of Lorans tester that i will be outing outside in a month for a late season harvest.

nice derk,how did they do in the downpour last weekend?mine were pummeled,lol.

derkaderk · Jul 28, 2015

Fortunately I had caged then just prior to the downpour, so I didn't get any broken branches....but some of the smaller ones got a little flooded out because the gutters on the house plugged up again...had to top them off with some fresh soil.
But they seemed to enjoy it.

Went out to check in on the girls....this one has decided to throw all 3 leaf fans.

derkaderk · Aug 10, 2015

Just a little update....flowering and still stretching.

derkaderk · Aug 10, 2015

Some close ups, and some early frost development. These girls are are about 2 weeks into flower And developing very quick. The sun hasn't hit the purple stem 3 leaf Pheno yet so I couldn't get good pics.

Good morning from the tree house!

We had 2heavy thunder storms this week, and the girls got a little battered. I think they liked it though,cause I've had an explosion of growth the last 3days in the garden.

Some of the pistils were damaged a bit, but nothing I don't think they won't bounce back from.

I took just a few early morning shots...I plan on taking pictures of each girl later in the day.

Anyone know what this bug is? I've found a few...seem to be beneficial, as I see no damage from them.

That's all for the moment...I'll have more shots later today.
Happy farming,
Derka

That's bug is a leafhopper assassin bug. It is beneficial but don't let it tag you with its fang lol

Og Gong · Aug 11, 2015

This is in my tomato plant. The assassin bug caught a dragon fly and is injecting its poison in it via fang.

Og Gong · Aug 11, 2015

Awesome grow by the way. All looks good. Keep up the good work.

derkaderk · Aug 20, 2015

Quick update with pics....ran into a bit of N-and P- topdressed yesterday, looking a bit better today.

Only about 3 foot tall, but a good 10 feet wide.
