Yeah methods are about the same, have learned a lot over the years. Still yet more to learn!
Found another Sativa Candy Chunk male. Its DC dominant and has a great fruity leaning stem rub. Not as many branches, but its working on them. Its in the front of the garden so this male should pollinate on time if the others don't.
Pruned out almost a bushel of diseased leaves and found a half dozen or so males/runts to remove. Starting to open things up and let some of the smaller plants get a chance! Have lots of females because the plants have been allowed to keep growing, so going to be packed this year! Will get some pictures soon. Had a lot of work get done today!
Sativa Candy Spice Champion Male #3
Looks similar to symptoms I have seen when the ground was wet and conditions were hot/humid. I had it really bad at my other plot a few years ago which had field water keeping it overly saturated beneath the rootzone.
The blotchy yellow is the bad one and that can stunt your plants. There may be varying degrees of that, I saw some similar tip dark colored necrosis today. Getting a variety pack of diseases with the recent rainy weather, and we have more rainy days later this week.
I think you are right, overwatering can lead to root disease issues, so you want to try to water infrequently as needed, and water to the depth of root when watering. Also if you are working the soil to kill weeds or work in top dressing, this can damage surface roots and possibly lead to root infection.
I have a bunch of roots at the surface which are exposed due to soil washing from the heavy rains. They are the only thing holding the soil back I think. I don't like to work the top dressing in to the soil anymore.

C99 looking good. Will be some stronger plants vegging in natural light.
Wanted to tell you about a neighbor to one of my mowing customers who are immigrants from Congo, Africa. They have a few little garden plots in their 3/4 acre neighborhood lawn. They all are companion planted for dense canopy to choke out the weeds and its the healthiest most weed free garden I have seen. Its all sweet corn with green beans underneath. There are a few patches of squash/mellon vines, some are growing among the green beans.
She said she plants 2 seeds for each green bean plant, and 3 seeds for each corn plant. Her middle school daughter/granddaughter translated for us. She was asking if there was a machine for planting and told her about the Earthway brand seeders.
She was harvesting the leaves of the green bean plants and filling a grocery bag with them. Her daughter said they are for other african folks who buy them to cook down for use as greens in their meals.
She said they take the green bean leaves boil them with salt until the water is evaporated, then add in tomato, onion, etc and make a vegetable greens mix. Sounds really good! I need to try that soon!
I was talking about weeds in the garden and the daughter asked me if I was talking about weed you smoke. I clarified I was talking about weeds growing up in the garden, but casually said but if you had some african cannabis seed that would be cool!
In Maryland, adult-use possession and sales laws took effect on Saturday, July 1, 2023. On the same day in Connecticut, home cultivation became permissible,
House Bill 168 creates a regulated market for the adult use of marijuana. Adults over the age of 21 would be able to possess up to 5 ounces of flower, 15 grams of hashish, and 8 grams of cannabis concentrates, and they may cultivate up to 12 plants in their own homes. Additionally, the legislation establishes an expungement process for minor possession charges.

Pulled 5 more males/runts/mutants today. Garden is getting opened up. Lots of females found, and but still lots of plants yet to show preflowers. Most of the garden is on good track for a good yield, so it will fill in well. Some variation in height helps to keep them from getting too dense.
Deep Chunk x Blueberry females
Hey Timj, glad you're enjoying it! I try to improve a little bit every year. Reverend has been giving me some tips and learning a lot this year. Got a good start and they haven't slowed down. Thats where seedlings shine in their growth rate and vigor compared with clones, they help optimize the garden.
Thankfully we haven't got too high of temps here this year! Been pretty decent with a few hot days around upper 80's to 90F. Back to below average spring time weather so moisture is going to remain which will help the plants. We all know herb likes to drink em down, so we should see growth rate continue, while I take summer break off watering and prepare for flower season.
Time to pick up some jars, later in the season they are all gone because everyone is done canning their veggies. However the flower growers are just getting started!
East side of the garden with best light
Starting to open up a bit been working hard to get all the males out early as they show except for the 3 champion males. Found a couple other Sativa Candy Chunk males today but they were a little smaller and shaded and wouldn't release pollen on time.
Found an apple flavor terpene profile, my friend said he noticied it in the jar he got the other day from me! @Heavy Dayze was talking on The Potcast with Kaleb from Humboldt CSI that he thought apple was very under-represented in the cannabis strains he has seen. Found it right here!
Abundant Life with our God
5 gallon containers got to love them. Thats why they call it pot! All pretty uniform and getting lots of tops! Should yield well, just keep the watering up once they get big!
Looking good Blondie! How many weeks does that take to finish? Tried and true strain!
I like that Tirah Valley hashplant, very indica dominant similar to Deep Chunk. Where did you get that?

The Parable of the Sower Explained
18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
More views on the way...
The seeds came from @Landrace Warden . I also got Hunar Valley Gilgit green and purple seeds from him, a mountain cultivar from northern Pakistan. Here's a link to his page on Seedsman. I notice there's no Tirah Valley stock (actually nothing in stock) but Seedsman isn't the only place you can find him stuff.

I got to know him on Instagram. Posted pictures of his adventures going to out of the way places to find and preserve interesting hashplant type landraces. Tirah Valley has always been an important area for hashish making. They breed their own strains and import seed from other grow areas so there's a lot of variation between strains. Like you said it's similar to Deep Chunk and other short squat hashplants, has a wonderful blonde hashish smell. They also remind me of the old purple Kush varieties, Purple Urkle for example, although we'll see if they turn purple during flowering.
Head high by the 4th of July is a good thing. The long days mean everything is going off, they're noticeably bigger every day. I've been feeding them quite a bit. Here's a look at my Moroccan Kush, seeds from a grower in Michigan.

And a look at my purple Goji OG F2. For a long time she didn't look like much. Getting taller but basically a stick without much branching. Now she's bushing out and the leaves are getting big. Looks like a different plant from a couple weeks ago.

Head high by the Fourth of July that’s fantastic
Access to Cannabis is far too important to be left to the Federal Government.
Or any state government.
