Leetdood's growing struggles

[leetdood]

Thank you @aCBD

Just finished treating all plants from the 40x40". Pic above is Tahoe after I did basic leaf clean up and before I unplugged the light to do the sulfur spray.

Need to make feed and water some and put them back in and at some point train and trellis for an even canopy. Hoping for flip in a week or so.

I had 3 days off so now I'm just catching up on watering and cutting back and spraying sulfur where I can. I treated a bunch of clones in mini trays and moved them down to the taller veg area. Gonna check the other clones and plants, keep cutting back and treating, etc. 25 and 26 will be family days, but otherwise I gotta stay busy and get er done.

Thank you all.

Catching up on watering but here's a picture I just took of the 40x40". Plants are starting to look great but I'm gonna have to pull them out, clean up lowers/unneeded growth, and train them all together to try and make an even canopy.

They will get pulled out to be sprayed again tomorrow to ensure total eradication of the WPM that was still present. This round of spraying I took the extra time to make sure they were all completely dry before putting them back in and closing the tent. I feel like the excess moisture let the issue recur last round. So I'm gonna be extra vigilant and trellis them after they dry off tomorrow. Get them in good solid shape for flowering. Probably make some feed with agsil16h in it make sure they get plenty of the silica.

Otherwise just catching up on tail end of watering, making feed, then gonna cut back and spray today and tomorrow. Then Christmas and boxing day get minimal watering etc. For those who don't know boxing day is our (canadian) holiday / sales day on Dec 26.

Current pic of tahoe. Taking a break then spraying it. Gotta cut off any useless growth after it dries then put all the plants back in and drop the trellis. Even that canopy out.

Need to slide 3 risers under it, just grabbed two clean ones and rinsed sulfur off the other.

Staked irene and need to clean it up. But I just sprayed her and the other 5. The other 5 are doing amazing just need to clean up whatever isn't gonna get light etc. Stay on top of this run so it turns out amazing.

3 need watering so I will feed to excess and check runoff EC to ensure it is low. About to recalibrate my pH pen. Added 5ml agsil concentrate each to the two 4.5 gallon buckets of 60% feed I made, and 5ml each of pH down to bring the pH down to around 6.0 pH.

Still catching up on clones and other plants. But this flower run is coming together.

I added the agsil because it's likely the plants need a full diet to really bounce back, especially irene. Irene is coming back to health but she looks like crap.

2 huge mistakes I made

Letting WPM re occur after first spraying.

Watering when she wasn't fully dried out . Irene burns up and locks out really easily. You can't re water so soon if it's already struggling, it's asking for huge trouble.

As I've mentioned I've had to really struggle to learn how to grow so many different plants at the same time. But I feel like it's worth learning how to handle it and keep plants alive.

Got the risers under Tahoe, cleaned her up, took the pic above, then sprayed her down.

Got the jars clean for making the cream for tomorrow.
Gonna water some plants and set up the cutback station. Gotta eat and make the cream too.

Lots to do. But gonna get it done. Tahoe is looking like she's really settling in but will need a full watering in a few days.

Before I forget. Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone.

Re: canna salve

Seems like using my the best material for my mom's cream let it mix in properly without chunks of plant material. Making more for the family i used the green material in addition to some clean material. Ended up having small brown micro dots/blobs in the cream. It settles at the bottom but it's very unappealing visually I would say.

I did it very late at night which was a stupid decision in hindsight. I rushed a lot of things and you can't really rush working with scalding hot oil. Nothing bad happened but I did pour hot oil in a plastic coconut oil jar and that was not wise. It shrunk up like an ugly shrunken head while I was holding it with scalding hot oil in it. Thankfully it didn't shrink enough to spill the oil.

Splashed a bit on my thumb. It's fine now but there's a dime sized red spot on it.

So lesson learned. Don't do this shit at the end of the night when you're burnt out and tired and wanna get it done with. You'll make a bunch of stupid ass decisions. I'm lucky I just learned to not do that stupid shit again.

Got two fire extinguishers my mom bought me a while back, one near front door and one near bedroom door. But really I should be using my thinker better.

Here's the 19 jars I managed to fill and screw lids on and clean. There's 2 others I filled but the hot oil deformed the rim so I can't thread the lids on. Gonna give those to my downstairs neighbour probably.

My aunt has really bad back pain and her son is the one who introduced me to exotic and high end herb/concentrates. So because I figured she's "used" to the smell I made her a strong batch. Threw in a decent amount of hash into the leftover cream my mom gave me to fuck around with. Decarbed the hash in two jars, one for my aunt and one for the new batch. My aunts cream has a lot of contaminant/plant matter so I showed her the bottom and said be careful with that.

My grandparents got a small Mason jars worth. They seem pleased.

The oil from the shrunken jar I kept for myself cause I dunno about plastic leaching.

Now I gotta figure out if these jars are food safe. I didn't really think about that.

Nope. It's this type
