Just Sativa Candy Chunk IBL this year my F15 this year!

Seed planted May 4 and a few more may 12. Got plenty of Healthy Grow chicken manure mix and cotton seed meal. Will likely mulch in early july, once some males are pulled.

Waiting a year or so to grow the CBD hemp. Too risky since I can buy it any way. Saving the seed for planting in the next couple years hopefully.

Shots from today! Had some excessive rain yesterday and today. Totaled over 2 inches over a long period of time!

Cleared the plot yesterday in between and during a torential rain so it would dry out better. Found 2 volunteer plants about 1 foot tall. Volunteers I had been watching since early March when they germinated, they made it though temps in the upper 20's F a couple times! Pinched the tops, and we're off to the races!

Back at it.
I love this a nice gorilla grow way out in God’s country! I miss growing gorilla did it for many years.It wasn't out in the wilderness but I enjoyed the little lost pockets of nature I found surrounded by farms and expanding suburbia. I did the fishing line thing too with little jingle bells and soap for the deer. I once had a spring , I had a plot ready and when I went to pop the plants in I found right there on a hillside a tree had uprooted and out popped a spring

Aphid season started where I live and although they're easy to control by hand, I bought some lacewing larvae just to be sure.

Very voracious and quick, hard to photograph lol

Edit - @pipeline sorry about Leroy. Glad to hear it was quick at least.
You got the shopping carts going? Have you or @pipeline ever seen the ants carrying the aphids? I see this all the time doing my tree work

Yes sir lol 🛒🛒🛒

I haven't seen the ants literally carrying the aphids but on a couple of trees in my garden you can see the ants going up the trunk and they clearly must be harvesting the aphids' secretions otherwise there's nothing for an ant to do there.

I've never seen Aphids on a pot plant but I see leaf hoppers and these little jumping bug with cotton tails none of them seem to do any damage. I'm really starting to question the belief that loose less dense buds are less likely to mold. I suppose the thinking is that they dry out quicker but the flip side is they soak water up like a sponge , whereas denser buds repel water better .Again I'm finding it has more to do with the worms and wetness when it comes to gray mold. Maybe mold resistant strains are just strains that the cabbage worms don't like. I can go on with this theory if anyone is interested
What I’ve noticed indoors is the leafy buds, whether loose or tight mold more than solid buds with a high calx to leaf ratio. Indoors it’s the plant respiration from the leaves pouring moisture into the flowers.

Thanks! Yeah I can be ruthless with culling mutants, and have learned a lot. Took lots of smoke testing. I did some backcrosses because I almost ran out of seed once or twice. So its been part of what has made the line successful.

I like to have multiple plants so if anything damages some of them, the others can take their place. Also its good to have multiple plants because it helps reduce tolerance since each plant has slightly different cannabinoid profile effects and potency.

Still trying to find out if anything else has laundry detergent terpenes like Sativa Candy Chunk.

Been making infused coconut oil capsules with them. Definitely recommend these, really easy going and helps medicate the body much better.

Good observation, and they are easy to trim too

Yeah flowery is a pretty good describing word, but it tastes like laundry detergent smells.

Mission accomplished, plot is installed. Worked out perfect, didn't have too many or too little. Will be warm the next couple days with rain on wednesday so these guys are going to be on the move!

It was pretty wet soil conditions, but was actually a little drier than it has been in the past. No need to water. Thanks @mudballs @Mudballs 2.2 for sharing his secret for transplants. Just transplant into pre-moistened media with no watering after transplant to allow maximized oxygen and root development. He said it results in quicker rooting.

This is the way I do it every year, as long as it rains within a couple days its good. Since the ground was already way moist, and there are trees providing afternoon shade.

Going to be a patch of trees soon.

Was a beautiful night, got done at about 3:15am. Day of rest, going back to clear brush around the garden to open up light and plant some veggies today!

Ended up watering with 50 gallons since its going to be pretty hot for a couple days. Plants looked great since it was just a day since planting, and they had a good amount of oxygen with pretty moist soil.

Spent some time digging drainage ditches and pruned back the trees and brush. Put down some animal repellent, and my dogs did some hunting. Used pepper based repellent yesterday and Liquid fence today. No animal issues since yesterday!

Got a couple shots to share, will post them soon. Happy growing! Have a good one! :smoke:
