Dealing with some PM issues (my fault should of defoliated the bottoms better) but other than that most of the plants are still coming along great.
Ordered some Dr zymes to fight the PM but no joke this is the one package I've ordered this year that gets lost was supposed to be delivered Wednesday still no delivery. So I ordered again so hopefully it will be here today/tommorow.
After hurricane Henri came through my second tallest plants stem.broke, I taped her up and gave her a splint to let the break heal and she's seems to have survived.
Then yesterday I was checking over all the girls and the one plant that was just days away from being ready (for my liking) had the start of budrot. So I just cut her earlier than I would have liked 5-10% Amber trichomes is too early for my taste. Found 4 buds that had the very beginning of rot so I bagged those up and trashed them, and cleaned the rest up for drying. Since I had PM earlier in the grow and I'm growing outdoors I gave them a bath in H2O2 and water to get rid of any residual shit on the sugar leafs. Then rinsed them off and hung them to dry. For the first couple hours I had a fan blowing dirrectly at the buds with a dehumidifier on full blast next to it to try to get rid of as much of the water as fast as possible to avoid any more mold. I turned the fan after so it just creates a good movement of air in the room and have left them to dry.
Here's the plant I ended up chopping yesterday, this was right after hurricane came through. I was worried with the buds being so fat I would get some rot and I was right.... The roots wouldn't come out of the pot it was growing in a 5 gallon cloth pot and the roots filled it out completely.
I had to punch the bottom and all around the side in order to just loosen it up enough to get it out of the pot and it still came.out as one chunk! I don't have alot of room In the house and this is the best place I have for drying so I normally only do open air for a few days then put them in paper bags once they dry up some.
Harvested 4 of 11 plants so far. Great smell from the bud and a ton of trichomes on it too! Strong effects too very happy with the final product and excited for the rest.
It was grown in Sohum living soil, the only additives I've used have been lactobacillus culture and blackstrap molasses
Gotten some deficiencies real late in the life but I just put that down to growing a giant plant for a 5 gallon pot, I used sohum soil and only added molasses and lactobacillus no salt based fertilizers.
Due to the two hurricanes and other heavy storms two of my plants ended up snapping and needing splints but they survived the mains stems snapping completely!
The ones left have been in flower about 10 weeks ta this point and still not many Amber trichomes yet but should be any day they are ready.
Thank you! Never thought about selling them, there's a pretty wide range of phenos (autos, photos, 3 foot tall or 9 foot tall) you don't know what you are gonna get
