Grow diary mission impossible (low to medium budget lol)

“I’ve got the emergency to go kit dear”grabs tray of plant stuff oh shit where’s them kids again

priorities man!

 

[BearWater]

so I am reaching tough decision time! I just found more indication of “aphids” on other plants. I do not want to wash/soak every plant, I do feel it helped and bought me some time, I dont feel its worth it at this stage of the plants life to subject it to what dunking the plant entails as I will have to dunk and wash directly upon harvest due to the current bug/egg or poop situation! So with that said im strongly considering a harvest date of 7/27 or 7/28. Not feeling good about it but it has come done to a matter of a week or less so thats my kinda what im using to make my judgments and although I dont feel great about it, when I think logically i feel like what I have proposed isn’t a knee jerk move or a totally retarded move to make you guys have any insight or even just some reassurance im not being a total knuckle head!? : ) pics included first two are of the new damage and poop or eggs and the rest are of trichomes (not the greatest) After thought sorry! I should note that some of the newer looking hairs started to come on again within the last couple of days so they may look a little more under developed than they really are?

The good, the bad, the ugly.

separate post for the “dried and now curing” broken branch bud from the dunk situation (when i was putting it back not the actual dunking). It was just hanging with the rest of the bud since it happened, I trimmed it and threw it in the jar this morning “it’s curing” ill probably have a smoke report by before 6 this evening hahahahahaha!!!!!!

 

[Oldchucky]

Five minutes is plenty long to cure when that’s all you have! Looking forward to that report! Looks decent!

Thats what i was thinking : )

so the high decent. It’s kind of a focused sativa for me and not to crazy with the “racyness”. Now the flavor smell and all thats non applicable to this review. Im hoping to be able to throw a nice little curing corner together this weekend to maintain that 60/60 climate and see how long I can ride it out, rather how long the plants can ride it out : ) either way its very soon and I get what I get and I’m definitely not throwing a fit! as much as I hammered on these gals this run I think all of us are just ready to move on to the next phase

 

[Oldchucky]

All part of the process! You learned a lot!

dude kill them! The ones that die are 2x on the plant the other plants. You got to kill the colony of pests. Mad props on the bucket drowning, I was awaiting the next day!

one hundred percent chucky! Can’t wait to apply that to the next round : ) Im really looking forward to having a climate controlled drying situation for the complete process and experience this run!

Thank you man!!!

So do you think I could kill them and it be worth going through that at this stage? Im thinking a few more days before I chop so If I deal with the bugs (and I could be way wrong) id only be buying them a few more days after that to finish. Im digging deep hear to keep it going lol.

Hey fig!!! yeah man were good for now. It’s a raging pissed off beast at this point but the shear size of the wilderness over here its kind of relative. We just have (towns) all up where they shouldn’t be lol (my little town included!) I think Oldchucky is ways away from it and he has a lot of grass land out there so the fire fighters can really do work with the air craft. It sounds like Phyto has some houses or something in an area that is looking very promising for the fire to make it through we are all hoping it doesnt. I know there are a fuck ton burning up in Oregon right now also. Thanks for checking in fig!!!

GDL moving right along! Back to feeling comfortable growing weed, I can handle the germination and solo phase but god dang if things get a little funky after that it reminds me of the feeling I had when I got released after my FTO period on the ambulance! Getting a call code 3 and shitting my pants the entire way until just around the corner dispatch cancels! Oh thank god ( I’d snap into gear on arrival )

Got a little setup going for the GDL I have two lights left over from my make shift light so they get a single 42watt 500k led the one Raskals and xx ‘s get the other. And they’ll get the “real” light after I chop the current run!

They should like that light!

Yeah! My first run with them starting off really seemed to like them! they’ll get the table for a while, I plan on cloning them young so i can hopefully get a nice little group of ladies! Im trying to think ahead and use what I learned from the last run! Hahah which reminds me as im sitting here typing this and looking at the GDL’s, I forgot to number them!

 

[BearWater]

Good Sunday morning to you all! Hope life is mellow and uneventful for you! : ) sprayed all the XX’s and Raskal yesterday evening with the captain jack dead bugs. They got to hang out on the porch for the evening. I broke one of the taller plants so im calling it a topping (it was way more than a topping). And the first of the true leaves are starting to come on the GDL’s! Theyll get their number based on that, I have a #1 and a #2 so far : )

As far as the current run harvest goes… I put my best foot forward and buried my head in the sand!! kind of lol. With all the evacuation warnings and shit going on I decided im going to pull the trigger tomorrow. I’ll go down and get my foam board that will make up the drying station area using the AC. Im going to make it so the air goes through the little drying station and into the main grow area (there will be vegging plants and seedlings so im good with the higher temp that will probably associated with this set up. Hey JJ im going to tag you in a post with my room mod with drying corner (maybe you can let me know how un realistic it is?)

this post might be prime example of my ADD in full swing with lack of sleep and everywhere around me getting evacuated! Hahaha! Things are definitely calming down but still very up tight! And one last thank you to you guys hanging out and throwing all that positivity towards us folks dealing with the fires! Some are not out of the woods yet so keep them in your thoughts and prayers and whatever else you all do : )

 

[BearWater]

@SpursGrower !!! I totally forgot you are doing something similar with using a separate space but still connected to fans and what not! How’s that working for you!? Were you able to get it dialed?

 

[BearWater]

Pictured is a drawing of what im considering doing? My other thought was to build a totally separate spot within the room and have the ac just pump some air into it? That would be I think a little more like @SpursGrower
