Yes! Two pound of weed is more weed than I've ever had; more than I will likely smoke anytime soon! I'm already an outlaw! In MA, I can only possess 10 ounce's or less. I guess I'll have to start smoking my way into the compliance!!

hey man, if it’s in the name of legal compliance, I think a few of us should fly out and help. It’s the american thing to do.

I feel your pain.
I'm in Southeast Michigan, have had a shit year and will have to trash ALL 12 of my plants. (plus my extras)
BUT, I did grow a bunch of autos earlier in the summer that finished.
I always say autos for medicine and photos for fun.

This isn't the first time and will not be the last.
All we can do is keep our plants as healthy as possible and cross our fingers. (and toes)

If you have an excess of flower, make concentrates. I’m a firm believer in dry ice kief that can be pressed into hash or dried and left as powdered joint boosters or pipe toppers. My rough estimate through several years of experience in this fun task using 220 micron mesh bag is 5:1 weight reduction ratio. Tastes great…less filling

That's a damn good idea! By 5:1, do you mean 45 grams of bud gives you 9 grams of kief? Do you know of a good resource for instructions on how to do this? I'm definitely game!

Sure. Here’s my process.
1. Chop buds down to quarter size pieces.
2. Add about 1/4 to 1/2 oz to plastic jug.
3. Add 4-6 pieces dry ice and shake/stir about 15 seconds.
4. Pour into strainer bag (220 micron sufficient).
5. Shake about 1 minute over clean glass surface surrounded by open cardboard box to contain CO2/keif cloud.
6. Empty used ice and frozen leaf over mesh strainer to recycle dry ice.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 until all buds are shaken.
8. Scrape inner sides of box down to glass.
9. Remove cardboard box.
10. Scrape keif together and place in containers.
11. Press into hash or keep loose and add to joints or bowl toppers.
12. Enjoy.

Think it’s something I should look out for here in CT…my plants are halfway from harvesting and I’m kinda worried due to all those outdoor variables, I’m seeing lil insects on my girls and one of them the leaves are slowly turning yellow throughout the whole plant but it’s the only plant I have in a pot the others are in the ground I only use water to feed my plants I wanna know what to do before anything bad happens

Look decent. You either have fucked up ph in the water. Or your giving too much calcium and it's blocking the NPK for the plant to uptake. Mixing nutrients is essential to do in steps. Silica first, then everything else. New folks tend to over do with calmag. Calmag is only used a couple of times during a grow. Too much and it will block the other nutrient uptake.

If you go organic you will only need to worry about the water Ph. I always aim for a Ph of 6.2-6.5. In hydroponic usually it's much lower, 5.8.

At this point you should be hitting them with PK booster or bloom fertz. I also recommend recharge.

Hey there brother - R U growing on Cape Cod?? I am too - but in a tent out on the deck of my condo. I have 8 buckets - DWC hydroponic - didn't want to mess with soil. I can hook you up with a local dude who grows outdoors over in Dartmouth - he makes all kinds of natural nutes and pest control agents.
I have one Fat Bastard plant that I was able to save from root rot that is in flower now. I have 7 little girls - 4 more Fat Bastard plus 3 THC Bomb - all are Autoflower. I have broken down the 7 buckets and completely bleached everything plus I installed large disc type air diffusers and a 3X larger air pump. I switched to non-organic nutes and I am using fungicide to keep the root rot away. I think I may have this now!!

I know we are growing different - but same location(?) so if you want to chat, I'm retired and here
