What I am feeling at the moment is. Do one run with my old blurples so I have a baseline yield to compare too and get to test the room before investing more.

Then reach out to spiderfarmer and see if they want to give me some 100s, and if they don't, go with the hlg 320.

The fall bed continues to fill in nicely. Excited for the yellow pear tomatoes. The butterfly bush is getting out of control.

Finally got a chance to clean out some of the dead and dying inner growth from the sun gold tomato bush.

Talked to the misses and she is on board with returning the leaf blower after harvest and buying a rosin press

Finally she is putting out some lemon terps.

LOL, taking advantage of a bad situation. Sounds like you might need it with the way things are going, hopefully you'll have some excellent flowers still.

How much does a press cost? I can imagine those cordless blowers aren't exactly cheap.

Presses have a huge range of prices, but the one I am looking at is about $430. The leaf blower was $270, because they were out of the cheaper 20 volt model.

I am mainly getting the press because I am too lazy to trim all of that weed.

Thanks much, My guess is 3-4.

Maybe less, going to start watching the trichomes in a week.

I have a few tomato plants in the front yard too. Small plants, just clones and volunteers I stuck in the ground over their on irrigation. Hard clay soil with no compost or fertilizer, just mulch and water. Anyway I checked them today and they had some ripe tomatoes.

So last week I said I would do 2 more weeks of fermented fruit juice, before switching to plain water, but she looks farther along than I originally expected, so I won’t be doing any more ffj, just water.

 

[tomatoesarecooltoo]

Oh man, just lost a huge beautiful flower to the dang caterpillars, and some smaller ones.

 

[tomatoesarecooltoo]

Looking at the trichomes and the very top nugs already have some amber, but the flowers themselves don't really look ready. Probably going to do a staggered harvest starting next weekend or the following.

 

[tomatoesarecooltoo]

Found a bunch more caterpillars/damage second time I checked today. I won't be growing the this strain outside again, the caterpillars really seem to like her.

Interesting, I have heard from lots of good outdoor growers that they select for caterpillars resistance and it makes a huge difference for them, but always interested in a different opinion.
