Fireknot farm 2016

Yoo Tess. This bud looks real nice and frosty Bro good work man!

 

[Shcrews]

This is the one I'm eyeing at the moment...

should be ok to chop in a week or so , although maybe not ideal but could be much worse. Last year i had to chop a few early because they were getting PM. needing money is way better reason to harvest than having PM.

Unless he is growing on Mercury, you have more sun.....lol.

that must be the reason why my full-season plants mature so quickly in the fall. still getting almost 12hrs of direct sunlight here

 

[plantingplants]

Leaving seconds or pulling whole plants?

 

[_tessarecting]

Depends on the plant. First ones coming down whole.

 

[DAT]

wow what a season... incredible Tess, mindblowing really. Beautiful pictures and i love your eye for the lighting. Good Luck with wrapping things up, i cant really believe its almost over. damn that was fast.

 

[plantingplants]

Went so fast. Sometimes I feel like growin weed keeps me out of the moment and in ten years I'm going to wonder where all the time went. Maybe I should give away all my money and become a smelly vagrant again. ....maybe next year.......

 

[_tessarecting]

Thanks DAT! Time flies when you're having fun. Being in the moment's what it's all about plants.

I won a competition yesterday here for 100$ credit for the bay/ the bou but I have no idea what to choose. I've been browsing. Seems like there's a lot to pick from.

Looks like I dont need to water today and its going to rain tomorrow.

I had one sky lotus looking almost done last night. This morning it looks not even close. My buddy gets here Wednesday. I'll probably chop it then.

I've spent the past few days stringing up 1000 meters of nylon string on the outside, inside, and tops of some of the cages. I also secured bamboo to the tips of a couple potentially floppy cola stalks.

Ready and waiting.

Yea ive gone through four large rolls of green tape the past two days. Another two rolls for today. Rain starts tomorrow a.m.

 

[_tessarecting]

Secure that stuff tight. I started with green tape but my knots kept coming undone and it was too stretchy for me.

[BAKED_BEANZ]

looking real nice up here , whats the fave atm ?

 

[_tessarecting]

Toss up between df, sa, and sl...they're all so so nice in their own ways. The other stuffs good too but those three really stand out. I'm hoping to find more packs of them. The sa got the biggest here.

 

[theJointedOne]

Yea the green tape is good. I agree there are some brands or thicknesses that dont tie well or are really slippery ect. I go with the 1inch wide stuff and its not slippery, so just a single loop and pull snug and its set.

I failed the support game on my old Betsy's this year. She got so wide, I wasn't ready for her structure. Learned a lot though. Not everything fits in the same size box lol

I'm glad your not going crazy and just chopping shit. I've only seen a few strains that are honestly fully ripe by 10/1. Most guys on their first bigger grow are hacking shit down the 3rd week of september. I saw people with sticky fingers at the store two weeks ago. Keep up the good work.

 

[_tessarecting]

I'm in the same boat jointed. Learned all about trellis fails this year. I had good luck hanging trellis from the poles to make a second layer for some of the more stretchy strains like dragons fruit.

Thanks oct! I'm only pulling down enough to get by and the rest will go until it's done. I don't think my friend has anything else better to do anyway. Florida sucks.

Awesome work this season tess. U got some heavy looking ladies over there mate

I already chopped 5 full plants. My pots were too small, and triggered early. Maybe the same with the boys with sticky fingers?

 

[_tessarecting]

Thanks hobbyhorse! Been giving it my all all year just like you told me to back in February I think it was. Soon it's time to enjoy the fruits of our labor. I'm tired of smoking candyland smalls! The jars emptying like an hour glass...
