thanks A_s
the light dep is a big eye opener to me, the quality of summer dep buds is unreal... has alot to do with the genetics and organics im sure also but that summer sun is something else, especially up here around 5.6k ft above sea level

hardest part is to slow down the dry time in the heat of summer...

I measured my sun with my lux meter the other day. Got 138,000 LUX, compared to my 50K average indoors. Altitude is 1,000. Now if only Avinash had a lux meter...... :chin:

somewhere i have a lil one, not digital, probably not accurate;
it's brighter than a motherfucker here, the sun bleaches anything left out in it very quick compared to any other place i've ever lived....
only india was a more arid climate than here, seems like the dry and the hot sun work on shit especially hard, making plastic brittle, wood splintery, fabric fades.....

Hey Avinash

I've noticed the exact same thing here in New Mexico. The potency is unreal, but holy shit they went through every bit of potassium I gave them with the heat.

Hung my light dep plants by its main stalk, 5 days maximum on a dry even when the rooms at 45-65% and 65-75*F, and so I assume this is due simply to the plant being grown outdoors in the full summer sun.

But other than that I'm really enjoying the summer light dep as well, I will totally be trying some autos next year since I had to move my plants into the shed at 6pm sharp every night lol.. that really sucked but it was worth it.

One sativa leaner. Couple weeks behind. Had one flip real quick probably 3-4 weeks into flower now. The jack herer flipped quick too.

hemp update

hemp update

What to say about this years hemp crop?
well.... it's a learning experience that's for sure, can't say i feel successful with it, but the work load has been solely upon me and my partner (who has degenerative disc disease and fibro and some other chronic pain issues and works as hard as she can, but is also somewhat limited by those issues). Our workers left right before the heavy workload planting season started, and we didn't get more help until early august when planting was over and we just started weeding by then (way way way too late)

We started planting at least a week late (mid june - due to delay on behalf of our clone supplier), during what turned out to be the hottest few weeks of this summer. weeding was seriously neglected since it was only 2 of us during june/july while we were planting, we prioritized planting clones in the field over weeding and mowing. Also my hardening off process did not prove as effective as i thought it would, probably due to the heat and the fact that i was giving them afternoon evening sun not midday sun; other plants hardened under a tree got some midday sun and did fine.

my watering schedule ended up doing fine for the plants, but next season need to weed sooner and harder, till deeper, consider some mulch layers, possibly weed block fabric even - some liquid fertilizers

considering planting more seeds next year and starting to sow as early as this fall

^^ biggest hemp plants in the field, if it all looked like this i would be totally happy with the crop

picture.php

^ much smaller plant already in full bloom, if all of the hemp looked like this i would be somewhat happy with the crop

picture.php

^ shitty hemp, some plants got really sunburnt and never recovered properly

picture.php

^ worst of the hemp plants are only a foot or so tall, barely out growing the dark veined swiss chard being grown right next to it

outdoor update

outdoor update

picture.php

^ white dawg x long valley royal kush
"white valley"
probably largest buds on this plant at the moment, hardest early flip of all the outdoor

picture.php

^ mystery plant, came as a mislabel - was supposed to be jager, it's not
very stretchy most sativa structured plant in the garden, only one touching the quail netting because it is in the corner and the net is low

picture.php

^ Nightmare Cookies
biggest plant in the full season outdoor - next most sativa plant in the garden

picture.php

^ Miles Bubba Kush x Flo Scout
purple pheno, purple stems since the day it popped from seed

picture.php

^^ some nice mushies (marasmius) showing up in the mulch layer that showed up after a few heavy fungal dominated teas - coincidence maybe, maybe not

So then you only got about/around 2.5 months of veg time maybe? those don't look like hemp plants that I've scene before. Those kind of look more like regular pot plants. But then again the regular hemp plants I've seen are in video's in area's where hemp farming is legal and those plants are basically all long stems and the fields look about as tall as a field of corn.

if you plant hemp close together, very close - you get that typical row crop look to hemp, tall single stalk and seed heads all at the same height...
that's for fiber

im growing CBD hemp basically just as if i were growing "regular pot" in a field

spacing is about 2-4 ft in a zig zag pattern - some areas tighter than others

How do you plan to process the hemp?
