Reaping the fruits of your labor :tree::canabis:
Hope you get the bugs under control soon! What are you using? Would ladybugs be an option?
Used some fallacis and soil predators. Need to order more soon. Just trying to get enough medicine in there while I cut back to clone completely.

Car all good except battery at 55%, brake was stuck but they cut e brake cord.
Need new battery probably and brakes replaced. But not asap.

Gave em some strawberry gary. You can see the top is almost ready to enjoy. Almost.

Gonna harvest the other sherb I saw a concerning fuzz/cobweb. I picked it off but I am gonna pull that this morning and when I do the reset I am gonna try and get the cords for the oscillating fans figured out. I also need to check how clogged the inline filter is, this shouldn't be happening with the nonstop circulation.

Partly my fault for not using the fans and leaving water in the saucers to boost humidity. Obviously that would create hotspots in the tent. Lesson learned.

I did not see any other fuzz spots like that but that can't be happening! Even if i accept the risk to myself that's an unacceptable contamination of the product and a medical risk towards others.

Funny joke i did, though

Sharing weed is legal here, like you can't share your medical but you're allowed to have 4 recreational. Well, those are the plants I share, if I'm asked 😂

But discretion goes a long way. So I popped the baggies in an empty box of garlic toast. I said to the service writer,

"Wanna get toasted?"

you're lucky being able to share legally! growing 4 extra plants for sharing sounds too good to be true. jealous but also happy for you and the others.

enjoy your reckless sample session with the lip-smacking, lung-expanding, mind-altering goodies :pimp3: ☮️

It's not like I have to designate the plants. Unless someone asks ;)

Pulled the sherb. You know what it looks like, no need for a bunch of pictures.

Plant looks extremely nice, more so than the other one. Perhaps less crowded or just was doing better. More light etc. Wish I could have let it go longer, looks like it was hitting a second swell for the finale.

Last pic is where the problem was found. It hasn't spread or re grown or anything but you can see the dark area where humidity would've built or so such. I'm gonna keep an eye on that as it dries.

So I'm extremely pleased with 3 of 5 plants I pulled so far.

Hard to be pleased with Not HP13 when it's so irritating that I feel like i should know what this type is.

That one other sherb had the excess nitrogen/burnt tips and did not bulk as hard. So that's a nice job done but i clearly can grow it more on point. The tops look amazing so im not disappointed, just not extremely pleased.

The tent isn't looking so hot with some feed issues and pest damage. Will scope the two cake and hiro4 and see how close they are to mandatory harvest. I got nice filtered smooth ice from my grandparents for washing HiRo4 i just gotta prep all the wash gear and then fresh freeze at harvest when ready.

Overall I'm happy with this run but I need more flower. I smoke like a zip a week. Excessive, I know. But that's why i work so hard lol

Watered flower tent and checked HiRo4 and Wedding Cake for harvest timing

Lotta milk/cloudy at I think. Day 71 and 74 respectively.

So they're really almost ready to harvest. And gonna wash some wedding cake buds also to make topical cream for a Christmas present if possible. I figured the scent is less offensive for someone who doesn't like weed.

So I'm gonna prep for wash and let them ripen a little. I like to see a touch of amber on the apical bracts, that kinda area, before I pull. I don't like to pull early if I can help it. I like that full term bud.

I broke down strawberry gary, gonna trim and bag in the Grove bag.

Here's what I'm gonna smoke. It's good. Don't really need to trim much for my own use, idgaf

Anybody got tips on washing dry bud? Might try and wash some sherb and Gary to see if I can get those fruit scents for the topical cream. Don't need much

I'm catching up on watering. Everything else seems to be on track if I catch up, in a sense, so I can focus on cleaning plants up and cutting back so I can figure out where all the plants will sit for training and then flower.

I still need to take some clones but I have a good amount rooted and I'm confident I can get that done and caught up. Probably order even more of those mini trays, they're really nice to just hold the clones and see the label at a glance and move certain things around fast. At least that's what i think.

So I'll continue the work and report back. I broke down strawberry gary also and am about to give it a quick trim it and bag it. Then do the same to Not HP13. Cleaning up the lowers made it pretty easy in general. Don't need to go crazy but it makes it really easy to process plants if you learn how a plant grows and how deep the light will penetrate the canopy.

Strawberry Gary is really nice as usual.

That sounds good dood :good:
If there's equipment that makes the handling and processing of the plant easier at any stage, go get it. Always worth it :whee:

Just makes it really easy to grab one or several cultivars at a time and also avoid cross contamination. If i set up a dedicated area for them it would be really helpful. I was gonna clean out my closet at some point and add ventilation/light cover so i could veg small plants there or do small reversals. But that's a longterm thing. Just pointing out how organizing and improvement would make a lot of this less stressful and a lot more easier.

Still catching up on watering but getting there. Gonna transplant Tahoe into a 15 gal with the fresh promix i got from home depot. The breaker tripped a few days ago in the big area but I was pretty burnt out and needed a slowdown to catch up anyway. I've unplugged the timer and the lamp that broke, and plugged the far side light in for 24h, yesterday night, for now. Gonna do what i said above, defol and cutback, and get two new bulbs if possible to get that brand new spectrum feel.

I've been cleaning up a lot of light deprived stalks and dead/falling off leaves. It's pretty cold and dark without the lights on so it makes sense I'm dealing with that. But i got that done and the plants out of the way so I should be able to do some good stuff today like the Tahoe transplant.

Bagged the strawberry gary. Got my process set up and should be able to do Not HP13 then sherb next. Grove bags really clutch. I put painters tape on and I started writing in small letters so I can cross the name off and put a new one below it.

Timing is right for me to pull HiRo4 and both Wedding Cake tonight, freeze HiRo4 and some wedding cake buds. I want less things on my plate so I can keep getting things organized and out of my way. Literally wading through plants was putting a lot of background stress on me. On top of everything needing washing and not being usable. So the idea is to continue the progress, grab bulbs and more ice from my grandparents tomorrow, and get many things off the checklist. After I do the wash I'm gonna clean and prep for washing the 2 gmo plants. Gonna see how they are tonight but I get the feeling I might pull between 84 and 91 just to get that done so I can clean the tent and get a fresh run in.

Overall I feel like I'm dialing my process in and getting things done but it's not robust enough. I'm basically treading water, even if I'm very good at it. Like cru pointed out much earlier, I need less work so i can actually clean everything. That has been a long time coming but it's gotta happen.
