I had 4 Honduran plants I used to feed my cloners. I got about 75 clones from them. Every 2 weeks I took everything I could. I was finished putting the clones out and was looking at the 4 sorry, repeatedly raped, abused, overworked, defeated moms. They were thin 2-3 foot plants with barely any leaves so instead of putting them in the burn pile, I thought I'd put them out to pasture instead so I gave them a home in the yard in nice compost and expecting nothing from them. One died but three recovered. I decided to push them harder to get every last bit out of them so I gave the big one a few STS treatments. May as well get seeds out of them. They can live on in their progeny

Here's my budget 10 plant grow in Michigan. All bagseed from some GG4 that hermied and gave me a handful off feminized seeds. All except the small one on the stand up front were planted outside I think June 8th. Stretching like crazy, they were maybe 1 foot tall a month ago. Some of the lower branches got eaten by the damn rabbits, and some squirrels keep digging in the soil.
Got to complement everyone who's posted pictures, there's a lot of healthy happy plants out and about. Next year I need to run some Autos or photo-sensitive stuff, the weather in August is great and the buds would develop nicely. I don't like Autos because they're one and done. You can't breed them like normal seeds because the Auto genes don't breed true. I still like to run 2-4 every year for the hell of it.
A friend who read my last post, my rant about boytritis, sent me a PM. Basically telling me in polite terms that I'm crazy, I should gather and dispose of all the moldy plant material instead of composting it into my gardening and recycling the mold spores for next year's crop. He's 100% right. If I didn't live in the rainy Pacific Northwest or if the fungal disease was anything else but boytritis that's exactly what I'd do.
My reasoning is that boytritis spores are everywhere, millions of them floating around waiting for the right conditions to sprout. If you put out a 'spore catcher' it'll always end up with boytritis in it. The other fungal diseases are 'unnatural', an infection. Boytrtis is part of the life cycle of the vegetation, as soon as a fruit or plant is past it's prime it sprouts. When I buy berries from the store if I don't eat them in a couple days they grow boytritis. My grape plants, if I don't immediately eat the grapes in a couple days, they grow grey fuzz and throw thousands of spores. So my response is, to quote Bugs Bunny, 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
And join them I have. Found a small patch of mold on the stalk of my Guava Wookie, my 3rd plant this year to get hit. I noticed a small branch wilting, looked closer and it was girdled. Hacked it off, buried it, looked closer, and saw the mold. I've had quite a few branches this year wilt, either from growing too fast and breaking or disease. I've reached the point, if tying it up doesn't cure it and it isn't a primary limb with a direct line to the sun I remove it. So far there hasn't been any major damage.
Every boytritis infection so far has been cured with antibiotic ointment and rubbing alcohol. Every day I look my plants over. If I catch it early it's easy to stop it. I'm hoping for a dry September. I'm an amateur, really just screwing around with my pollen chucking and mold, if I was serious I'd move east of the mountains. Eastern Washington is mostly arid, hot summers and dry cool autumns. Perfect for cannabis. Maybe next year an opportunity will appear, I'd love to grow in an area where my plants belong as opposed to growing an exotic non-acclimated plant that struggles at times.
The garden is looking good.

My buddy got some feminized Sour Lemon seeds, gave me a seedling in the spring. It's grown into a healthy big plant. The problem is that he got them from some random people instead of an actual breeder. They turned out to be unfeminized. It means I've got a 9 foot tall male in one of my best spots that I've been fertilizing and babying all summer. At least removing it frees up some room for it's neighbors who've already overgrown their spots. Here's what he looks like.
Looks like a female and smells great, like Sour Lemon. It'd almost be a worthy breeder but I'm not interested in random screw up genetics. I'd be angry at my buddy but he has worse, 2 or 3 of them in his best spots. His smell even better then mine, very sweet and lemony. He's already dug one up for breeding. I'll have to see what the female flowers look like before I'd take a chance on the seeds he makes.
Here's a look at the Guava Wookie that had the spot of mold. It smells delightful, floral, lavender, hash, it's got very wide serrated leaves. One of my favorite plants.

Red herijuana is late, mine finished oct 18th in ON. But it has a really strong high and golf ball nugs on the right pheno.

gp7zx69, what are you gonna do with all that weed! lol
Looking great.
Looking great.
Mother Nature is playing nice here this year. Patch was stinking hard already last night.
couple years ago she flooded my patch 4 times in a row and I prefer dry and heat.
It aint over until they are jarred. folks don't much care for MudBud even if it's free... best to make oil...

lol...I was wondering & thinking the same thing.
The size of the leaves on that thing caught my eye, they look pretty large especially relative to the overall size of the plant.
