Hey bro bilber! You get any plum into flower yet? Just now getting some tester tokes from the lowers. Stuff is so oily it f’in 😷 😁😁 and slow as 🎄 to dry down

But it’s worth all that effort and then someView attachment 2463621
Hopefully I can get this down this weekend
We do have a beautiful girl going in flower!! Thank You jj!!!

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.....

I'll get some updates soon.......

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!!

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

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
IMG 0248

Cloner- 9 days cut and everybody seems happy
IMG 0249

Veg- I’m at 8 lines now, will get things sorted by weeks end
IMG 0250

Apples and bananas- 3 weeks flower. She’s stopped stretch so it’s just 5 more weeks
IMG 0251

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.

That Pure Michigan sure is a beautiful plant. ✌️
 
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
IMG 0265

Cloner- 16 days cut, time to thin them down from 12 to 5. 4 mothers and 1 to flower
IMG 0266

Veg- be careful what you wish for, pure Michigan is a beast, veg or flower doesn’t matter. Back left.
IMG 0267

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
IMG 0268

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

I bring my buddy along and that’s all he does, sits and chills and keeps the bowls packed. Dude was born and raised in LA so this deep country is like another planet to him

Thats awesome! Im happy he could break free of the “shitty” 🤣 I’ve spent enough time in the cities to know i want nothing to do with living in them hahahaha! i dont even like having neighbors where live now! 😂
its definitely a different timeline and feel for sure when one is out there! city folk or not : ) its good for the soul all around.

the great outdoors is always calling! 🤩
 
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!
