tired of being broke so we pulled a little early harvest, one of the late replacement Flo x OG's . She put on weight way before anything else, still not mature but oh well...

A little early harvest like a whole plant or just a few branches to smoke and sell?
Just the top branches on a 4-footer that went in the ground late.


those plants are big my brotha!

I luv the high of Flo... so energetic.

next year I plan to grow this FLOG
The Flo OG is really nice. quick, frosty, sticky. big yield, kush flavor. What more could you ask for?
I want to try a few more strains from rare dankness in 2015.

good morning everyone, i've been up since sunrise killing caterpillars. bad year for them, definitely worse than last season. We also got some powdery mildew on a couple plants, which is a first for this property.

I'm glad we are in the home stretch, hope we can keep everything going strong until harvest. the PM is fucked. i've been growing outdoors since 2007 i never had to deal with PM outside before. Good thing it's only on a few plants so far.

on a more positive note, the buds are filling out and smell amazing. Learning a lot of things for next year.

I am sure you have it handled, but Green Cure works great for PM. It wont eliminate it, but it will kill 80-90% every spray. Gives you a chance. In the bay if it wasn't for GreenCure I would have lost more than 50% every year. It's safe until the week of harvest.

Learning a lot of things for next year.

Thats a great attitude to have man. Everytime I grow, I learn something new or sharpen up on what I already thought I knew.
This year it was racoons and weed worms, and the season isnt even over yet.
Im praying the PM stays away, though I did notice a few spots on a big fan leaf, which was promptly removed. Theres not good air flow in the middle of the garden, so I cant wait to pull the 3 Chemical Blues to allow more air to penetrate the guerilla grow. They should be done on the 7th. Got a Chemmy Jones gonna go to the 20th. Ouch. Theres gonna be snow by then or atleast a few good frosts.

thats nice that you know the exact days you are going to harvest, thats hard to do, especially if shitty weather comes early

been spraying with neem at sunrise. I'll check out the greencure if things get worse, thanks



PM ccomes about when sap pH drifts and energy goes down, the fungus can penetrate the waxy layer...if it's thick enough , no pm
I want to go full science soon, right now just trying to make it through the season without a ladder.

Ive run most of these strains so I know that they're 8wk - 9 wk strains.
I figure when I see the beginning of flowers I count back 2 weeks and start counting from there.
Of course I could call an audible and harvest whenever it seems right to do so cuz of weather or rot or whatever.

I have a bunch of ladders. If you were in my neighborhood I'd give you one.

If you want a book list for winter reading, I can PM you
