Drinking from a Cattle Trough

I can only complain minutely with my flower and shack areas.....

My veg area on the other hand, is not the greatest right now....

Not too worried though, slowly but surely, we'll get there.....

Pondering on a few changes here, someday. Sat my box of motivation down somewhere and haven’t been able to find it, probably from lack of trying..
You’ll know when that plum is coming into flower. You’ll smell her down at the mailbox

Well switching from 600 watt HID to new age LED's was my biggest challenge!! I say go for it and save a few bucks on electricity! Less work to regulate day/night temps.
A nice 500 watt LED can easily cover one of your plants.......i mean whenever you get around to it

Apples and Bananas x Okie

After losing Chemdog #4 I’ve been wondering which gal was going to step to the front, I think I found her. She caught the full effect of losing a ballast, coming down about 10-14 days early and she still rocks. Has a pleasant taste and a serious buzz for an okie. I sent her to flower round #2 already, excellent choice I must say!!

The wife’s- cosmos’s getting busy bushing out. Supposed to get 4’ tall
Cloner- 24 hours cut and nothing wilted so far. Had 5 mothers in this batch so the overflow is in veg
Veg- held a couple mothers back for a 2nd cutting, even out the groups to 4 & 4. With the newest line germinated brings it back to 8 lines currently
Okie’s:
White runtz
Plum crazy
Apples and bananas
Lemon tree
Skywalker
Pure Michigan
Project okie

Candy Rain x Gojo
Apples and bananas- 2 weeks flower. Stretch has slowed down

Pure Michigan- 5 weeks flower. Took a quick count and I see 44 buds that are 18” long. Every body needs to grow this plant at least one time

Buddy and I took a hike the other day, brought along plum crazy to smoke. She stinks so bad this is a safe place to fire her up!
All these grow tents got me to thinking ;
I can build a pvc framed blind right here on top of this old tank.
Won’t be ready for this season but by next year it’s gonna be sweet.
There’s something about getting burnt at daybreak in your deer blind, can’t explain but once you’ve been there you’ll be hunting every year.

Made another batch of RSO. 2 ounces flower down to 17ml. I did a 24 hour soak and shook it like one one of those old exercise machines that had the belt, yeah you remember. Anyways black as coal and should be rather potent

The wife’s- no sign of flowers yet but it’s a nice plant
Cloner- 9 days cut and everybody seems happy
Veg- I’m at 8 lines now, will get things sorted by weeks end
Apples and bananas- 3 weeks flower. She’s stopped stretch so it’s just 5 more weeks
Pure Michigan- 6 weeks flower. First round with her she flowered really hard on the lowers. So this round I trimmed the lowers clean towards the end of stretch. Like @Bilber and I were talking, that kicked in the extra bit stretch you see here.
To and insult to injury I’ve been playing with a late season flower additive, 2-11-8, which seems to be working well. So well she’s laying down on me.

Weekly - it’s supposed to hit 100 most of this week, that’s not so bad but the 75% humidity makes it tough. Yard barn gardening isn’t for everyone that’s for sure.

The wife’s- can’t seem to force it to flower like cannabis, pretty plant though
Cloner- 16 days cut, time to thin them down from 12 to 5. 4 mothers and 1 to flower
Veg- be careful what you wish for, pure Michigan is a beast, veg or flower doesn’t matter. Back left.
Apples and bananas- 4 weeks flower. 2nd crop of this gal and I couldn’t have made a better choice! The high is solid on all my Okie’s but the taste varies across the board. This is one of the sweetest flowers you toke on
Pure Michigan- 7 weeks flower. I’ve got her flushing now. No leaf color but she’s too top heavy to leave in flower much longer. Hairs are 80% red so it’s too early…..boitritus (bud rot) spores are in this grow room, not shown in a couple years but they are here.

Looking good JJ. What do you have planned for the cover? Custom? : )

What are you plans for the bud rot? Do you have to clean the entire area now?

There are no visible signs of bud rot currently. But when stems lean against the wall or each other it blocks air flow. That sets up conditions for it though.
Dr Zymes as a preventative is about the best I can offer at this point

Once the pvc frame is done we will wrap the entire thing in salvaged barn metal. Worst case she gets a tarp this season

having that Dr Zymes probably eases the mind a little bit : )

Oh man! You’re really doing it, hunting hut! I’ve seen the little fold out blinds they use for turkey, like a tent almost. Nothing there but concealment (I guess thats all yuh really need) but i like the idea of having a decent roof/cover! As long as it’s got a spot for the thermos full of hot coffee!

My boy and I have used those pop up blinds for years. Before that it was a chair, but we’ve had good success. This blind is after we’ve frozen our ass’s enough to appreciate having a wind break that should be around for some time

And they kept getting fatter which made em lean even more. Not disappointed in the least. This was a research plant where I tried a bloom booster “Awesome Blossom” from Technaflora. I’m thinking it might actually be worth the price! She’s a freaking BEAST!
