Oh ya! Plants are looking killer

Picture of health, my friend.

Kaskadian · Sep 2, 2017

Some non-closeup shots of the girls. One of the Bogglegum girls got a bit of a nitrogen deficiency because I stupidly lowered the nitrogen a bit to early. Hit her with a healthy dose of guano slurry (1c guano shaken into a gallon of water) and she's in recovery.

Thank you brother! I'm very pleased with the results so far this year. Always seem to have good results with BOGs gear. I hope this season ends with good results, it's been quite some time since I grew outdoors.

Nice! I've got some sour grape I want to run soon. I popped four beans a couple runs back but they all took for ever to sprout and then we're all deformed and didn't really grow. Old beans? Idk. I've still got some more so I'll give them another shot soon. Peace

My guess would be old beans bro! I've always had 95-100% germination rates with BOG's gear. Honestly, I don't remember the last time I didn't get 100% germ rates with his stuff. I get them directly from BOG though and I'm sure that helps ensure that I'm getting fresh beans.

We've had some stronger winds lately, with the buds swelling more and more each day I'll need to do some additional rope work to keep these ladies from falling over. My largest BG girl ripped up the stake she was tied to. On the plus side, these winds are knocking off dead/old leaves. I need to get under the canopy to do some cleaning.

The EST harvest date is just under 4 weeks out on the BG & LS. Got a bit longer on the BMR.

Kaskadian · Sep 10, 2017

My brother stopped by the other day and I wanted to snap a pic of him in the garden. For height reference, he's about 6' 5" (195cm/1.95m). The other two pics are the girls he's standing between when they first went into the ground. Cheers!

Kaskadian · Sep 10, 2017

Starting to get frosty! Still a ways to go... can't wait to see how these gals swell the last 2-3 weeks of flower.

Kaskadian · Sep 14, 2017

5 days of rain incoming! Makes me nervous. I might have to figure out a way to cover the gals.

Kaskadian · Sep 17, 2017

So we got hit with not only rain but really strong (unexpected) winds. Plants were badly thrashed and my BMR girl split in two. You'll see she's all tied to to prevent her from shifting while I wrapped the stem. I'm doubting that she will survive, but I'm sure hoping...

Plants are mostly under cover now. Unfortunately I had to utilize some plastic tarps which isn't good, but they're getting good airflow and I'm crossing my fingers that we won't run into mold/rot. Ugh...

Kaskadian · Sep 26, 2017

More rain incoming... 4 days + storms. We are very close to harvest. Trichs are mostly cloudy with some amber starting to pop. If these rains don't subside I'll be chopping even if we are a week early. I don't like the harvest early, but these plants have already been through 5 days of rain and storms, and this close to harvest I don't want to deal with the potential risk of 4 more days of rain with storms.

Few random shots!

Buds are looking really nice. I'd be tripping on that rain too:speechless: just gotta buckle down and make a decision , chop or not to chop :drunk2:

Bud rot is a hell of a thing. Hopefully you got a hardy strain.

Thank you! It was my first outdoor grow in a few years. Felt good to grow under the sun again.

Thanks bro! I'd rather give them an extra week, but we've been upgraded to 5 days of rain + storms now. I'm not going to let them sit out in 75-80% RH with rain blowing under the canopy for 5/7 days and cross my fingers that PM or rot doesn't show up. I'm going to chop em' and just be done with it. Out here in the PNW once the rainy season starts it doesn't really stop for 6+ months. I guess next year I'll be building a proper greenhouse.

Trichs are about 90% milky/cloudy and 10% amber. I don't feel like I'm losing a whole lot by chopping a week early. It's not ideal, but I'm not risking 5 days of rain/high RH this close to harvest. I already lucked out by surviving 2 snapped plants & I'm not trying to test the bud gods.

Yeah, I chose all mold resistant strains because of my environment. That being said, I'm not risking another run with rain. I already went through 5-6 days of rain. Not going to let these gals sit through another round of rain.

Cheers all!

I went ahead and chopped... wow what a ton of work! I ended up getting called into work to fill a shift so I hung several whole plants upside down. I've dry trimmed before, but haven't hung entire large(ish) outdoor plants before. Going to try to finish at least removing the fan leaves this weekend. Air flow, RH, and temps are good for drying all things considered. Here are a few cola shots of my lifesaver girl (the smallest of the 5 plants).

As mentioned before, I'd have liked to run them an extra week but we have loads-o rain and storms incoming. Not gonna take anymore chances this far into flower. Already had 2 plants split because of high winds and extra weight from the rain. The "funk" on this girl is insane, she smells entirely like sour gummy worms with hints of mint/menthol. I can't wait to see how she smells after 2 months in the jars.

Kaskadian · Oct 1, 2017

Plants are hacked down and drying at the moment. I'll update when they get jar'd.

Cheers all!
