Man…I had a herd of muleys come through yesterday. Does and a couple spikes.
* the quads belong to my friend…the ranch owner. He just got an archery tag for a bull elk. Tag is on a great unit…starts Sept 15th…and lasts 2 wks. Not a cheap hunt. I told him that if he got one…I’d come up and help pack it out.
Dude hunts everything. I just play with all the toys the guy has. Gun collection and vehicle collection are in good taste.
Rolling along. Doing a lot of pruning above and below the screen. We’re getting some weather coming through. Getting some rain.
^ The T-Cells marching in. One more evening of rain…then we should be in the clear and the blue and the sunshine.
Monitor Status. I did some more pruning and wired up some side branches in the morning session. Now…I’m just looking for any potential issues…enjoying the garden
Goddamn it! Cloudburst sent a few 40-50 mph wind gusts right through the show! Please no hail. Temps dropped big time.
^ in the last 5 yrs or so…running and herb has gone more mainstream. I’ve been doing this a long time now. 15 yrs of running mountain high. Good stuff.

More hours put in pruning. No wind damage from last evening’s cloudburst. Didn’t rain overnight. The weather is about to go full fall ripening. Prime.

BT...last week we did a pyrithrim fogger and sprayed Bt,seems to have cut them way down
This stuff is magical. From our across the street neighbor. Old school forever local Mexican family.
I’m just patrolling with scissors. So far so good.
it's been a heck of a summer at the farm,hot for two months,then way too much rain...thrips,aphids,a few fungus gnats,grasshoppers,and now cats...but lowball we have 50 lbs in there now,so at least it's paying for itself...about to send off our first buds for testing,then that batch will go to pre-rolls...not great by any means unless you were there to see what a struggle it was
I can only imagine. That set up is killer…but I know how many things can go wrong in these environments we’re counting on. That’s why I enjoy and document every day. You’ve got a choice job! What a trip you’ve been on!
This 12 plant garden…is my limit for just solo homegrown gardening. It’s a physically uncomfortable garden to operate. And the mosquitoes are going insane. I had to clear out of there tonight…couldn’t focus they were biting me so often.
…but man…I’m enjoying these plants. Seeing the things I want to see. Makes me feel like my overall plan…the theme to all the pollinating…growing out shit tons of plants….all these years…is sound.
With a bit of good fortune…I’ll get this garden through to harvest.

Have you looked at Bacillus Thuringiensis. It works really well for caterpillars. They reckon it's good up until 2 weeks from harvest but I prefer to leave it 3 weeks.
I looked into it. Just using the scissors and curbing the population for now. These flowers are all over the place with finish times.

The caterpillars are more active at night ad a lot hide inside the buds during the day. If you don't already know, go out at first light with a flash light and you'll catch loads of the little fuckers.
I use it every year and don't have a problem any more. I've put friends o to it also ad they all love it.
I stop using it 3 weeks before harvest and there's no noticeable taste.
I sprayed my Zacateca Tribute yesterday for the last time, my other girls will continue to get a spray every two weeks or so (sunlight kills the bacteria) until 3 weeks before the chop. I still have weeks to go!

The Freak….Sister Number 13….looks like she could harvest at any time…but letting her go further to the end of the month. See what she does with her time. Tighter flowers…not a big girl..perhaps a bit of a Flo expression modified by the DD (that would have been in the TFlux…taken further along in Mox Mox) I am seeing Flo influences in Sisters 9, 11, 3, and 13. Best I can tell. They have similar traits anyways…whatever they be.

^ Spent an hour last night patrolling for caterpillars under headlamp. I saw none. The ones I am killing seem attracted to the sun and top flowers. Easy to see once you get the eye for it. Not in significant numbers at this stage…but I wanted to satisfy my assessment of the situation.
Daytime temps in the mid 80s. Mostly sun. Nights have dropped down into the 50s.
Chance of rain tomorrow
^ Exactly how these caterpillars show in the garden. Just killed this individual 10 minutes ago. They are not smart.
