Well, Junior has decided that there are enough amber “Triks” to start harvesting. To me they look a little more time is needed. Weather is a concern for Junior as the forecast is showing rain and historically once they get wet for more than a day or two we start seeing mold, bud worms and not as good a looking bud. Also we watch the moon. We want to harvest between now and before the moon gets full again. When we have gone longer the buds have gotten fluffy.

I think it's the right time Frebo. It's probley best you do so and not take the chance of mold what a shame that would be. I'm very pleased with my harvest and i don't care that i lost alot of buds to the rot from catipillars. Well i do sorta care but really it's growing i love more. I know i'll start spraying much earlier than i did next season but i'm cutting down how many i grow. I say this now cause i'm burned out with hand trimming 4 plants😂🤣. The white widow x purple kush is a real beauty of a plant she is now in jars and is one of the best looking large frosty budded plants i've grown in a long time. The blueberry muffins well they don't look near as good as this strain does. Best of luck with the harvest your son is a master grower, i'd be proud he's not pushing the grow and being smart.

Junior and Mel were starting the third plant when I had to go to one of the fine wineries we have here in Southern Oregon. We use that old trimmer to knock off the big leaves and hang them in an enclosed trailer with box fans. If it gets too humid we have a dehumidifier that will dry the buds faster than you want. It’s taking longer because Junior is taking part of the buds off the stems and freezing the buds in gallon size freezer bags. He is going to make live resin dab this winter.

We finished the fifth plant today. Junior looked over the bud on the remaining plants and we have some more time on all of them. Junior wants to take part of “White Runtz” tomorrow. We just tested a sample from that plant and I think it’s pretty good. We’ve been smoking the resin we scraped off the trimmer, so we will have more testing tomorrow.

That's great frebo. Man we've had excellent daytime temps. I mentioned my sister lives in Central Point well her husband does whiskey tasteings a few times a year for shits an giggles. He's having one on the 19th i got brothers coming in from Cali for it LOL lots of fun nothing crazy just old farts sitting around a firepit sipping whiskey. They got lots of friends who have wineries that usually come over.

Butterfly yesterday before the rain. We’ve had a few of the black ones and I remember seeing one Monarch all summer.
Junior and Mel went out after the rain stopped and took some more Diamond Runtz and the rest of Sherbert. And finally now they are trimming Gary Peyton because it had branches laying on branches and they were wet. Our trimming machine actually works better when the weed is wet.
Testing Diamond Runtz. I’m very pleased.

Looking up at two of the Diamond Runtz. I took some more buds from the Diamond Runtz and leaving the rest for our gleaner. We have a needy friend we let take the last of the buds. Then he manicures the garden area so we’re ready for next year.

Beautiful!!! Next year I plan on getting my plants 5 lbs+. I got a late start this year and didn't get to ammend my soil like I wanted to. Still got some 2 pounders and a 3+. My idol Tom Hill is from your neck of the woods. I believe the biggest plants come out of Oregon. When do you start then indoor? Do you use a peat base soil? Thanks. Good job!!!

We usually wait till the dispensaries have clones in the spring. This year we made friends with a clone grower who gave us 7 clone mothers that were about 3 to 4 feet tall when we planted them. The other 4 came from two different dispensaries. For years I have planted each plant with a bag of Ocean Forest soil. We like to get a pickup or two(4 yards) of a local soil makers soil and spread it over the whole garden space. We always have material to compost and throw it back on the garden.

The secret to large plants is more soil. We got more than one 6 pound Purple Hindu Kush plants in 10 foot pots x 18” deep. The soil came from Applegate Soils in Medford.

I have been testing the different plants and all have been very fine. White Runtz, Gary Payton and Sherbert are my favorites so far. I figure it will take a year to fully test.

That's just great @frebo what a perfect fall were getting. Now that harvest is done sit back and enjoy the winter coming. I was down your way last weekend at a family/friends gathering about 30 of us. Whiskey tasting and lots of food. I thought about looking you up but i just did'nt. I've given gorilla glue clones to a fella and his wife there a couple years back we traded met at the cheese store in central point. Next summer i'm growing some new ones i've not tried and will be cloning those.
White truffle,Gelato and something called Khalita Kush? Never heard of that one? Anyway i start seeds in late March grow them till i can cut some good strong clones and give away or trade. Hope you would be interested next year about May i can offer you some cuts well rooted and i'm really a clean grower i've never had dieases or bugs in my medium. I'm only growing 4 or less outdoors next year anyway. I really hesitate buying clones from dispensary for some reason maybe cause i'm cheap LOL

It feels like our strains this year are better than last year but they could always be better. I have about 10 of those Costco black bins full. We have a little bit of GMO left hanging. I’ll post again when I have weighed some of the strains. Happy growing.

We use a mixed base but mostly forest compost and added guano and fish. We have lots of garden soil providers, many advertising “420
Soil”. We didn’t weigh anything but we have many lbs of Diamond Runtz and 2-3 lbs of the each of the others. I like the Carbon Fiber and Sherbert best.
Junior and Mel have been slow to get going. In the last 2weeks we have found 6 clones and germanated 3 seeds of “Pineapple Upside Down Cake” strain I bought at Weedbucks dispensary in Medford. We have been promised a couple more clones of unknown strains.
