How's everyone's flowers looking? Here's some Giesel hybrids from CSI humboldt I've been rocking. Happy croptober!

Looking awesome! What is your latitude? I did some bud washing on some tops I just had to take as the bud rot was too threatening. Cali Orange and Acapulco Gold. I have soooo much left to harvest, but I still have not seen any amber trichomes, so I am trying to be patient through rainstorms. etc.

Looks great tho! Sometimes we just have to make the call. Loose to botrytis or have some slightly under ripe buds. I'm up in the watertown area. I've got some hp13 hybrids that I'm hoping to push another 10-14 days. Hoping for the best. Where are you at?

We are in a great spot. Right in between zone 5A and 5B. This just changed last year.

We are not in danger of frost for quite a long time compared to the mainland. I listen to NCPR, so I hear plenty of stuff from across the lake. Giesel hybrids? What is that? I have grown plain Afghani, Grampa's Stash, Acapulco Gold, Bubba Kush, California Orange, and Mountain Gold this year. I keep checking for amber trichomes, but so far, just a hint of them.

Nice looking plants @WestShoreBestShore and @The1Ginger. I'm south of you folks, just under Albany. I pulled my plants on the 1rst. I was getting some botrytis in my tops. Got Covid around the same time so not many harvest pictures. But, I posted plenty of pictures in my journal throughout the year. I jarred everything last night. So, I'm done with my outdoor harvest this year. My strains this year were Bodhi-Babylon Buster, Nirvana seeds- Nicole Kush x Banana OG, Barney's Farm-Lemon Tree and Sensi Seeds-Star 47.

That's really cool. I've always wanted to try that mountain gold. I believe giesel comes from the "chem family." But it's a clone only that is a skunky type. Possibly mass super skunk crossed with chemdog. Anyways csi humboldt is a breeder that specializes in feminized work typically with clone only strains. This is my first time growing out his work and so far I'm really impressed.

Lemon tree has a really nice balanced creative high and tastes strong of lemons. The Nicole Kush x Banana OG has a very strong narcotic high so it's very different. This is my first year growing the Babylon Buster and the Star 47. I made regular seeds from the Babylon Buster last winter. This is its first outdoor season for me. It has a IPA/black pepper taste and a pretty good high from the seed plant. I won't try the outdoor harvest for another month at least. I also made the feminized seeds for the Star 47 as I only had one seed left. So, it's the same deal with that strain.

Chopped three of my girls this morning. Bundled, washed, now drying in the sun. Acapulco Gold, Bubba Kush, and California Orange. Gonna try the "no wet trim at all, just let them hang a long time and you will be glad you did" method on this part of my grow. I usually take all of the fan leaves and some sugar leaves before hanging. We will see! Three more plants left in the ground, good weather for awhile!

@laszlokovacs Beautiful flowers. What is the cultivar?

I realize now that you ask me this I dont actually have an answer haha. All these are seed sprouts from freebies or my pollenchucks so no name. If it interests you I can give you most of the genetic background from them tho.
As follows-

1. Sangria, Black Lime Reserve, Sorbetto Chopped 10/7
2. Cross I made with #4 crossed to a cherry noir dom outdoorline male that was very frosty, I think the offspring are decent only popped 2 seeds of this cross this year, seems frostier than mom and pretty much zero larf cuz Im too lazy to clean up lowers. Chopped under the hunters moon
3. Idk lost tag, prob same as #1
4. (Superboof x Life hack)x Mac, actual plant is a clone from last year I uprooted around october and tortured indoors in a pint container till planting out so the actual plant is well over 1 year old, shes still in ground probably taking the tops in a few days

Respect! takes bit of effort. I never did if before this year but its hard and with such good weather I question its necessity on some of my plants.

I left one branch unwashed and washed the rest to compare. Im doing like 2.5 week drying periods on some stuff as it is pretty humid where I'm at. Would you mind sharing youre budwash ingredents? I just did h202 then water this year. The water stayed pretty clean throughout so not sure if my stuff was pretty clean or I just didnt do a great job

I wanted to see how much damage/loss to the trichomes would occur so I put the water thru bubble bags. Probably 1-2gram from 1lb or so dry so not really a big deal. I did notice a ton of heads on the bottom of the containers I used. When dry they stick to my finger and made some great melty hash just pressing it with my fingers, and best of all it didnt stick to my fingers and make a mess like it does every goddamn time I touch my plants lol.

Pure resin heads from the pure water bath (ok some contam)

After some fingerin'. I bought a pack of milk duds for the first time in probably 5 years after smoking some lol

Damn, that is some sticky stuff! Great work! I used the George Cervantes method with one cup of Hydrogen Peroxide per 5 gallons of water, then two clear water rinses, on my tops. Then I had a lot, so I bundled branches and did the same wash, but rinsed with the hose. I don't really know yet how that is going to play out. I had some Bubba Kush buds that were tight as golf balls, and after the wash, they don't seem nearly as tight on the drying rack. Ugh. Hope I did not fuck them up! With my last harvest of three of the "bodies" of my two Mountain Golds and a Grampa's Stash, I could not bring myself to wash them as they are so sticky and gooey. Time will tell as I trim and see how the buds turn out. I got one of those "trimbags," as I have such a quantity from ten plants that I will be into February if I trim all by hand. Again, amazing work - what were the strains you grew?

The Monarch pic is outstanding!

You seem to have a little better weather than I Led05, that's such a beautiful specimen. Going to have a boatload of herb off that lady.
