GreatLakes, loving your big ladies maturing. Yep, I've been collecting manure since following you. I have a few new spots picked to try it out.

Yeah most of the local weather stations can provide a spore count. Ours finally dropped below 10,000 spores per cubic foot of air today on the heels of a nice cold front. They were calling this past weeks' rain the most in our area for 87 years. grrr.

I've never seen so many different kinds of mushrooms growing this week. Lots of red ones and psilocybe. The cows sure like the magic shrooms.

It looks like the Serenade treatment stopped all the mold I had on my plants. Even with a few downpours after application I'm not seeing any and all there was has cleared up. I learned my lesson long ago that mold can wipe your whole grow out if left alone. That's my new criteria on strain selection, mold resistance above anything else.

Good luck and thanks for sharing your amazing grow.

First of all, thank you. It always blows me away when I hear how I've influenced a fellow grower. Once you try manure you won't go back to dirt lol.

I see a pollen count but not a count just for spores.

We have had nothing but rain...With a cold windy day when it isn't raining :(
So far so good that I have not had any rot. I like that actinovate..it's kinda like the stuff you use but a different strain of bacteria I think. I heard when used together it's really a game changer.

Well I'm glad you are along for the ride.....1 plant will be coming down next weekend but probably 2 are end of Oct and the rest mid oct.

For silica I use agsil 16h it's a potassium silicate that's water soluable.

I will look into it ...thanks

So my realization is that saliva doms do not like my area. It's too cold for them and I think that is why they always seem to yellow up on me when the rest are healthy green.

Here is an odd ball leaf...I love mutations

Fucka duck that huge!

did you prune to get thick stalks or was it natural?

I'm a fan of yours been holding onto this thread since you've started , got a couple of questions to ask..
How long where your plants with whispy White hairs until they filled in

Lol some of them still have wispy white hairs...but those are the ones that have several more weeks to go. Like this one here
(Taken yesterday of a lower branch)

But to answer your question......they will start to really fill in and stack when they get to the 3/4 mark. For my shorter flowering strains that means week 6 and on...but for these longer flowering 10 week ones they are just almost there to the point that they are about to stack.

Thank you for following along. I'm glad you enjoy the thread.

You know on that same plant what are the higher buds like , example on the main cola is it the same or is it a bud form ? , how long would you think my plant would take ? , also you should see my forum and see where I am at , here's a pic tho

Top buds are always going to be bigger then lower or inner buds (yes the tops are bigger)
Yours looks like it is just starting. So it depends on the strain etc... but I'd say you have a good month to a month and a half probably.

Hey there Great Lakes hope all is well. Hope your weather is treating you good. I've had alot of rain and clouds lately but my girls are doing better now that I added silicate to my feed they seem to be a bit more resilient to the colder temps. Had a frost about 4 days ago and haven't seen any wilting from it. As for mold I've only seen a few of the inner buds affected fewf !! Looks like I'll be getting about 3 days of warmer weather this week followed by colder temps after. I'm thinking about giving them the chop during the heat of the day I just started week 9 I dried some of the bud and gave it a try it's pretty racey hits hard way stronger than my first try at photos I grew and just harvested indoors, Chemdog and amnesia haze but hey ya gotta start somewhere!! I just ordered some Nuken beans I'll try growing after I get everything dried and jarred up hope you have a hardy harvest keep smiling!!

Hey GL, I used a product called Power Si for my silica "go to" this year. Check it out on da web. A lil spendy but worth the end product.

Greatlakes · Oct 11, 2018

Hey thanks everyone! Weather has been BRUTAL here! We had flooding yesterday and I wasn't too sure I could make it home. We have had nothing but rain...and now they are Calling for snow and lows of 25.
The hash plant is the only 1 to come down so far but the rest are still hanging in there.

Smoking Gun · Oct 11, 2018

Sorry to hear about the poor weather, it has been pretty shitty by me too, but I have no outdoor harvest I am waiting to harvest. I do hope you, your family and home are alright in the wild,weather.

Wow, looking at the weather you've got lots of patience. At least those temps should prevent any molding. I figured your absence meant you were elbow deep into trim by now.

Best of luck into the void.

Good Luck Great Lakes. I like in the U.P. and Im harvesting the last of my plants tomorrow. The weather has sucked and looks like its only going to get worse, so Im calling it for the last of my outdoor plants.

The screen box is bloody brilliant!

I will have at least 2 that won't come down for 2 weeks.... ugh...
For whatever reason they seemed to all take longer this yr. I will make sure I get 7-9week strains from now on lol
