It's been a great growing season so far here for me as well.. some thrips and whiteflys earlier this year, but nothing bad and easy to treat....Thanks! Just got done watering again. Watered at day 6 the past couple weeks. The flowers are bulking up well, and are getting ripe. Some are farther along than others, but they are all on the early side.
Going to get a couple days of rain early next week, so will have to start spending time inspecting for mold. Been easy going so far!
That Sianai looks a little like some of the SCC. I like the more airy flowers to allow the trichomes to develop normally without being squished. Plus they may dry out faster.
White truffle looks tastey!~~ We need to have an ICMAG taste test session!
Hanging in there. Been harvesting a plant every few days when snapped. Another small plant snapped. And the mice are back eating seeds out of small flowers. The big buds have the seeds hidden. I moved the fence so they were less likely to climb up the post by the damage.
Wind may get to 60 mph gust with 25-35 mph sustained today with around an inch or so total rain. Plus rain likely tomorrow for around quarter to half inch in the afternoon, and rain likely sunday with lesser amounts.
Fertilized the lawn with Chicken manure granules, so at least have something to look forward to. Glad its raining, but hope the flowers don't get too wet. Will watch the weather and may end up cutting tops on Sunday if prolonged rain is triggering mold. I don't think it is yet from what I can tell.
Guess I can say, "Thank you LORD, for helping rinse the buds!"
These things are spotless. He takes good care of them.
Its good to test with storms like this to see which plants work better when making seeds. Trying to breed for early harvest and mold resistance, and a lot of the plants have it. Will ahve to get some pics as I trim.
High humidity next couple days, so cut them up more to be able to dry. Need to keep the moisture out so they can start to dry.
Any tips for harvest techniques?
Try to let them dry over 7-10 days until stem snaps by the bud, then jar in quarts with just a little headspace. I use 58% Boveda. I think they help.
Burp monthly during cure, then after about 60 days or so, could leave them closed to minimize oxygen. May be good to burp every once in a while.
Does anyone use oxygen absorbers?
Harvesting since the storm is continuing to bring rain for a 3 days in a row. The tops are done and there were some spots of mold in just a few flowers. It was time to take the tops, and the rest of the plants can ripen for a couple weeks. Hope we get some sweet warm weather, and keep them going for a heavier yeild!Sativa Candy Chunk
