The Adventure Continues. 2016 Edition

Things are in the final stretch. Harvested a bunch of colas off the seed starts. The dreams and cherry pies are about 10 days away.

We have had some caterpillar damage this year. Nothing like the years before. The Dipel and the new quad sprayer really helped.

I believe that may be a cabbage moth, responsible for the caterpillars that cause us headaches.

I ate it. @Seamaiden

Not one broken branch. Such an improvement from last year.

The new barn is massive and makes life so much easier for processing.
Huge dry room with two de hums and and heaters.

Then we have a room that can fit 18 dry racks for after the weed is close to being dry but not quite done. We buck everything down meticulously so after it dry on the rack we can put it directly into the machine to trim. Then I have everyone go over the bud and do a little touch up so everything looks perfect.

Awesome grow there guy i just come to realize that in my geological area i am fucked.
with temperatures and global issues trying to grow naturally it just never finishes before either frost , freezing temps and rain hit sure i got lucky in previous years recovering something but it was far from finished bud ...

This year has been a major disaster I lost everything even breeding project work from i started in 2010 all seeds gone strains gone have a fucking foot of snow on the ground middle of oct un fucking heard of

Fuck me i need to find a faster earlier flowering strain ,
So mentally hurt all my work shot to hell and starting all over seem not even worth it ..
WTF does a person do

 

[MendoGiantZ]

Do light dep. super easy to do. You can get a really good crop and finish in July way before the bad weather comes

Awesome year Mendo. Good work.

I need a new dry room like that. Built a 16 x 20 air controlled shed, but have so much overflow this year I filled my 20 x 40 garage to the brim. Hanging plants up high, cages filled in below. Still have the majority of my harvest to go.

Good luck on finishing things up.

 

[Seamaiden]

Lord, I feel awful for you @Bulldog420 ! :D

@MendoGiantZ I can only repeat what others have said. From this point on I grow vicariously through the rest of you.

You to man. Finish steong

The new barn is a total game changer. So much space. We are rocking the triminator dry trimmer and having everyone do a once over after it comes out. This is the third year with the crew and they are working amazing this year. I did some fishing the other day and my buddy got a huge small mouth bass out of camp rose on the Russian river. Here's a picture of the OG twist and a shot of the fish. We have harvested about twenty percent of most of the plants and Saturday after this nice weather we are gonna take another 40 percent of each plant. Gonna fill up every inch of space we have. Then let things ride for another week and do a final chop.

Found some mud and chanterelles the other day after the storm. :)

Yeah drying space is so crucial. It's not easy to grow monster plants but it's not that hard either. Processing and curing everything is a whole different ball game.

God DAMN look at that fish!

Scale.

The cherry pie looks like it could go until November no problem. Everything else is looking really nice. We are probly gonna lose about ten or 15 percent to mold on everything that we left through the storm but we will make up the loss with all the added chunk and how much better it looks from getting the time to fully ripen.
