Hey all, I just got a new camera so I can catch some trichome pictures. I hope the work. I really just practicing, I will do better, learning curve and all, lol. Old men and technology...no problem
Blue Cheese after the rain. An unusual pistil pattern. She should be the first to come down. It looks like sunny days ahead.
We had some rain Sunday night. The nets did their job and saved several branches from breaking. I shook some branches yesterday.
I hope everyone made it through the rain as well as we did.View attachment 638146View attachment 638147
This post is just full of what I need to be knowing right now.I understand completely what you're dealing with as I deal with the same weather as you .
The rain has to be so bad that White powedery mildew is a issue to worry about the buds . I think your sceening will hold the branches but you can watch for brken branches and remove them . I had some brake before harvest .
The rain and the humidity will be the issue for the buds .
Blowing off your plants isn't such a far fetched idea if you can do it without blowing the buds off the plants :) .
If I could keep from harvesting by doing so you can be sure I'd have the blower out :)
I shake my plants to get the extra water off of them , if I think it's a issue .
Oct. here will be when we ususally get alot more rain , so as you are doing, keep an eye out for any rot after the warm back up time after it rains .
If you don't see any rot happening you have nothing to worry about but broken branches .
Rain is a good thing until humidity gets involved from warming back up the buds , that's when they rot .
I think you'll see White Powdery mildew showing up on he fan leaves before you see rot .
You can deal with the mildew with milk and baking soda , if that's a issue I'll tlak with you about that, it's nt a big deal to do and it works well .
The rain and humidity are a issue for me as I'm not in full sun , so White Powdery mildew issues .
Your plants are in full sun and have a better chance to dry out without issue after it rians as long as the rain doesn't just keep coming.
Then you do have a problem , but you take crae of that by harvesting .
So wait until the last minute , you'll see when and you'll feel it's time by the weather if you have no more sun coming .
The only reason I harvested is mine when I did was the buds couldn't last any longer as they were so far done. I waited until the last mintue to harvest and it worked out perfect . I was afraid they would rot from being so finished and wanted to harvest , but I held off and everything looked great when I did harvest .
That's the bud next to me now I'm working on smoking :)
If the rain doesn't stop and you waited until then , which I would unless my plants were done , go harvest in the rain and bring it inside .
As far as for the plants living off the soil , that's the way you want it towards the end of the grow season or the leaves won't change from green to yellow as easy from all the Nitrogen still being added to the substrate - soil .
My strain ate Nitrogen until they were harvested but they are Nitrogen eaters and yellow even with Nitrogen added until I harvest . The more leave the plant eats the less you have to trim later :)
I give my plants nutrients sparingly at the end so the plant eats itself - yelllow leaves .
Use your own judgement when to harvest by what happens weather wise , trust your judgement , you know and see what's happening in ral time there , so you'll be the best one to say it's time to harvest and why .
It hasn't been to bad weather wise here so far , the days will shorten even more every day , the plants will hurry to finish because they sence that . So hopefully less daylight will speed up your finishing time bud wise .
No nutrients , just water when needed is great as you're doing . Smoke on :) Hope all was well in your beautiful garden !
Such a nice compliment, I really appreciate hearing that, thank you. The experience of learning and sharing with you all has been a real highlight of my year.I love the colors on this photograph and glad to hear your year is coming to an end with good results.. Fantastic frost and lovely buds.
Gosh they look great! I'm so glad that the weather is cooperating for you and letting you stagger your harvest. Things are coming to a end here in Colorado with the temps dropping. The front range is in its first freeze warning overnight. Tomorrow we will have highs in the fifty's and then low thirty's Thursday night. Plus a chance of snow. It's really been a pleasure hanging out with you though your grow. You've made me feel like I'm right there!:)[/QU
Thank you. You have been helping us since the very beginning. We are very lucky to have this window of sunshine but a few like the blue dream are gonna drag this out to the bitter end.
My theory on growing sativa was smaller slimmer buds wouldn't get bud rot. Looking at these overgrown trees has me rethinking that decision. It's still a gamble I am glad I took because I really want some good sativa. Have a great weekend.
Yes! We have learned so much. Thank you everyone for sharing all of your experience so we had a successful grow!Such a nice compliment, I really appreciate hearing that, thank you. The experience of learning and sharing with you all has been a real highlight of my year.
Well, I finally cleaned out the drying room and organized the storage closet, gathered all the jars. I think the Blue Cheese is ready. Just letting her blue up in the cold nights. I may take her today or tomorrow. I may wait and get a couple more good days of sun on her.
First picture is my posse. You mess with me, you mess with them.
Loving the camera. I like sending pictures to my computer from the garden via wifi. I feel so high tech.
We have someone who helps clean every couple of weeks. I always get her stoned before she starts. She already knowabout the garden, the drying room, etc., and she will be able to help with some trimming. Also Petunia, aka Mrs. Bogart has saved a weeks vacation so that she can help trim. Its still gonna be a challenge, what a happy challenge to have/.View attachment 638599 View attachment 638601 View attachment 638602 View attachment 638603 View attachment 638604 View attachment 638605
Thanks Mark. I've got the harvesting all figured out. I live on the quiet side of an area renowned for its upick apples, pumpkins, Christmas trees, etc. so busy during harvest season that cal trans and chp routinely direct upickers from our freeway exit.Very pretty and you sure have your hands full with the harvest , I don't envey you there , lots of work ahead but cured right and you'll have bud like I do coming out your ears :)
I can't possibly smoke all the buds I have :) A terrible problem to have ;) And I keep creating more since I grow all year round .
Buds keep piling up but it's strored away in a nice cool area in sealed contains .
I burp the containers when there's no moisutre in the air if I can help it about once a month just to make sure what's going on with the cure and get a wiff of the great smelling buds . I love to smell how the cure is coming along . Smells great and each grow has it's own special oder depending on how it was grown .
I don't see any THC deficiency , I see beautiful buds ready to be harvested . Nice job ! By you and the Misses :)
Thank you so much for the good vibes. Stop by any time!:ninja:…:looks left:… :ninja:…:looks right:… :Foxlink runs and hops into the happy wagon: :smoking:;)
