Tomorrow should be interesting. Monsoonal flow may come into play...no precipitation..but the unstable atmospheric conditions..we are having now..may become that much more..unstable. They'll have dozers and crews going all night...hopefully...they get a handle on it.
See what comes with the sun
* I'm a man of the weather...it's my belief system
...think it's burned close to 8000 acres...and pretty much made a moonscape out of a section of the PCT....and some deep canyons..leading to the desert floor. Bummer...
Monsoonal flow is on us...chance at some T-Cells...muggy..and still.
* I'm heading out into the trails today...haven't run since the 3rd. Won't be running near the fire....I'll be out somewhere else..avoiding the noise
lol,i wish we could get a nice rangeland fire here...yes catclaw,thats directed at you,you spiny rotten fuckers....typical monsoon here,raining on one block but not the next,lots of derechos where you can see the rain falling but it doesnt hit the ground....tired of hand watering everything....
Felt strong...ran well....11 miles or so. Gnats were bad in the drainage bottoms..but other than that...cooler temps...higher RH..makes for good conditions.
A thought for your future yard modifications: though the monsoon has started with a bang, several overcast and cloudy days in a row, with 1.5 inches yesterday in 30 minutes (!), it's still nice to have a pool....easy to drain into the various gardens with a 50 foot hose and good positioning. Working for hours in the gardens, sweating like crazy, and then the reward! My dogs love it, too, and after our morning desert off-lease run-hike in the wash across the street, they beat me to the pool every time...
If the power was off for days, it's a nice water stash as well...would have to filter it for drinking of course, however I'd have garden emergency subsistance watering H2O as well. You never know in these summers with increased rolling blackouts and electric over-consumption of the rise.
Harvested this morning...on day 64...flushed since day 48...fatty fat and a stinky stank mass..of flowers on..flimsy flopping branches
^ not really the runt of the litter...but she was...the slowest and smallest in veg. Smells range from poo...to cat piss..a tad bit of...nah...the aroma is all poo and piss. Very strong...foul smelling girl..just like..I like them.
One reality is that...I've not been spending much time in the...indoor studios. I go in every morning...every night...but I'm not in there long..and as I bottom feed everything...it doesn't take long..to feed. More time is spent tying..pruning..adjusting branches..
but...that's about it. Everything is running like a motherfucker...so why..mess with it? You don't
SFV OG Kush X Blue Satellite 2.2 IX1 (original beans were from SOL...but I can't remember the parents I used to make the incross...and I no longer have the pictures in my computer. I want to say..I used some freak expressions though)
^ beautiful plants...getting their stretches on. I've begun tying them into the wall mounted...trellis. I'm picturing a fat wall of flowers...sometime...in the..near future. There are a few leaves..here and there...marked by Blue Line traits..but telling you...these are not..your daddy's Blueberries.
Hope to get those good ol' OG influences overtop some berry wines..
Hell Hound IX1S1
^ Thinking day 25...mostly done stretching...hung tied...defoliated...and starting to go flowering. Hypersonic time...putting my foot into these girls...flipping switches...screaming down the road
* The plants I have shown today...are the only survivors..of their batches. Tuff plants. Veterans of the seedling exterminations...the death plague..that struck us down
** Just the opposite now. The plants being used to make Hell Mox...the young seedlings...are all plowing ahead...no issues at all.
*** Again...I know that science...could reason it out. How all those rounds of seedlings died on me..last spring...but I'm a skeptic..
I'll accept that...the energy leads me into Hell Mox...wants me to focus on where...I should really be..doing my best work. I feel blessed again....my own creations...helping me along. Mox Mox and Hell Hound are the best herbs I've ever grown. The Hell Mox combination is where you will find me...until...something urges me elsewhere
**** Accomplishing a very demanding...and steady work load. Been putting in long days...busting my ass...sleep garden work...that's my schedule right now.
EDIT : Does anyone else bottom feed in smart pots? I've found that bottom feeding coco...in smart pots..is pretty damn hydro. I keep the bottoms wet...at all times...but never let the tops get wet. Dry/wet all the time. Works for me anyway...suits my dry environment.
ive always hand-watered from top or used blu-mats....which are excellent BTW
there was a guy on here that flowered big sativa in 3gallon smarties...he had them in plastic buckets...he would just throw water in the bucket....bottom feed, slide the plants around his patio to ensure full light at all time...it was ingenious
I was thinning the canopy of one of...the OG X BS2.2IX1 sisters...and thought to show...a picture of Blue Line influence
^ Not many of those...but still...an indicator..there is Short work buried in there
Harvested a Dcong F4 yesterday....60 days
^ Not much size to the flowers....but there are...lots of them. Sticky as hell...this plant flushed for 10 days or so...showed no fade out. No issues...pretty boring close out...as she..just kind of..more or less..wanted to hang out. Kept putting out new growth..but was not really..taking in water
* aroma I declared as pine smelling...a ways back...but not now. Can't pin point aroma...but it's powerful...not the most pleasant/or unpleasant..deep and funky. No fruit...no citrus..no sweetness..just like a "back of the closet...bottom of the sock drawer" smell...musty musky dirty
** Dcong F4...has been a really strange run for me. Still have one going...flushing...fading...bigger...but similar to this one. Big frames...small flowers....same aromas. I almost feel like...they finish premature..but then I say: nonsense...as everything else is flowing like a free river.
Hell Hound IX1S1....the 2 sisters are on day 33...pushing flowers in happier rages
^ I've got most the branches hung tied from rafters..and with some heavy bends applied..I can keep them in the best of..the light footprint. They are within a 1.5 of an vertical uncooled 1000 HPS bare bulb..buts also sitting in front of..the exhaust filter.. with a floor fan blowing up/staged under the bulb...heat not a factor for them (+++++++)
Love these things...putrid smelling bitches..fast to get into heavy flowering...take the defoliations well...take to the training well...dragsters ripping away at their lifespan..very fun expressions to grow.
I like my shit...fast...and to the point. I like sativa dominant hybrids...that's where all the juice is
This is the 1st look at the last Dcong expression I have going
^ On day 52...about a week into flush. A bigger yielder than the other sister...flowers are a little different...aroma is the same...frame/structure is the same
* This plant was a pain in the ass...all through veg. In flower...no issues...doing her thing
** Unlike her sister...she is fading with flush. Keeps shooting out new growth...but is quickly losing her will...to continue. I'll be seeing her cut down..by 60 days
Been vaping some of the 1st Dcong...not really dry yet...but good enough for the vaporizer
Unique flavor...tastes like it smells....but I still can not...describe it. It's a deep flavor...almost like some kind of veggie..maybe a root type veggie. It's not sweet...yet..it's not acrid either.
The high is mellow...not overpowering. I've been vaping it all morning...fed my studio...and then did some more tomato tying..wandering around..to all the little pits..I've going. Comfortable buzz.
