Yes I’m sure it will. Honestly not sweatin’ having to toss that cola as I immediately placed a clone in its place. I think I also should’ve chopped it sooner
Sorry that happened
I've been there a few times, that sucks to have throw away such a nice fat cola ?. I've been trying to prepare for that more this run with banging more air through there.Looking great as usual. And the Lavender Jones, very interested to know more about the medicinal qualities of this strain.
My, but I love what you've done with the place.
???
The lavender Jones is the big one in the left corner if I'm looking at it correctly isn't it?
She's a beauty despite her sadness. ???
Are the lowers yellowing out too? But more so than what the tops are?
Like mostly from the edges in?
It looks alot like my Milf did about the same timing in flower where she was really extra hungry.
Gave mine a top dressing with a good full spec mixture and covered with worm castings for an extra N dose.
She recovered quite quick and started chunking up all crazy like. Lol.
Just my thoughts based on looks and the size of her over all the others in there.

Thanks and the Lavender Jones is great for Gastro issues and Menstrual issues. My two biggest physical problems so it’s my go to. I’ll do a thorough smoke report once done. I’m hoping this pheno is similar in effect to the previous one I’ve grown.Sorry that happened

Thanks man!! Yeah she’s a hungry one and I should’ve put it in a bigger pot. I’ve seriously been lazy when it comes to buying some flower nutrients but it’s that time I think. I’ll up the ppm for her.
This is great to know the field tested strains that can target specific issues. So often you see descriptions of how a strain can cover, well, everything lol. This helps hone it in, I know of several folks that could certainly benefit from this. As far as psychoactivity - does it induce any anxiety type effects, or just mainly relief?

Makes sense that Laveder Jones resonated with me hearing it helps with gastro issues. Wasnt aware but I know I skied and snowshoed for 10 days smoking lots of it and never had my normal gut issues. Hadnt really even noticed or correlated that. Hmmmm. Was the perfect high for a few hours on the slopes or trails. One of those everything is good highs not overpowering like I usually like but hit me just right.

Mainly a relieving and relaxing strain. It’s one of those strains that makes you feel just right. It actually helps with my anxiety/stress too. More indica dominant but no real couch lock unless you smoke a decent amount. The only other strain that did that for me that I can remember is Platinum Girl Scout Cookies.
I will probably reverse a Lavender Jones and toss the pollen on everything and hope for something good lol. I need to germinate another Dosidos bagseed but I can’t decide between #9 or #22 again ?

Little Veg Update :
Both Chem Cookie Trips ended up Male ?
Waiting on Cake n Chem to show sex
I’ve been striking out when it comes to reg seeds lately. Started some Texas Butter and Chinook Haze a couple weeks ago and those will be the last reg seeds for a while.
Lavender Jones Clones are tall af now and need to be topped. I’ll probably reverse the tops. Time is the determining factor.
remaining Moon Juice and Bittersweet Clones will enter flower tent as it clears this month.
Started 3 fem seeds last week after suspecting the CCTs would be male:
•Ghost Cookies: Ghost OG x GSC by CSI Humboldt
•Peanut Sundae: Dosidos x Sundae Driver by Cannarado
•Apple Tartz: Runtz x Apple Friter by Clearwater

This is something I'd really be interested in. Don't forget a homie ?
Platinum has always been good when I bought it through dispos about 5 years ago. So many cookies variants, I need to pick one or two to keep around.

Well more bad news, I had to get rid of all of the Bittersweet I had drying as I saw more mold on it today. Sin City Juice also has some bud rot on the main cola I spotted after it was chopped yesterday so it got tossed too. Hopefully the rest of the plant dries fine. I chopped the Pandemic in fear of bud rot even though it looks more than fine on day 74 but it did seem to be taking its time to finish. Having to throw away all of the Bittersweet also helped with my decision to chop the Pandemic.
The area I am growing is undergoing some renovations so things are a bit of a mess. I will soon have a cleaner and bigger area to work with. Even had an electrician come out to set up a whole new breaker. Hopefully by late july/august everything is set up but until then I have to keep my humidity in check.

Sorry to hear about that, even with higher humidity would increasing air flow help stop mold growth?

I have the fan and exhaust on high. The temp was 71 degrees and the humidity 66% when I checked... any suggestions?
That doesn't sound terribly bad. I've had those conditions and RH even as high as 70% without issues. I'm not sure what kind of air your moving but in my 5x5 tent I used to run a 6" exhaust fan, a larger circulating fan (up high), tower fan, and a 4" clip fan (down low). My drying room is always consistent, cool, dark, and mid range RH. I still keep a little indirect air moving in that room as well with a small stand fan facing the wall. I haven't ran into any bud rot issues.
Without knowing your preferred drying style, (I personally hang whole plant) I strip all of the fan leaves before hanging. They contribute a fair amount of humidity into a room. I'm certain all of your methods are fine, it's probably just some bad luck. If you're having bud rot issues with whole plant drying, possibly try single branch drying and still remove any excess material. It might help.

Yeah another fan is probably needed.
I think my environment is the main issue. The house is VERY VERY old.. and it’s slowly being worked on so I’m sure some unsavory things are in the air.? I’m going to put some hepa filters anywhere air is coming in; there’s already some filters there but not hepa. I should be in a squeaky clean space within 2 weeks.
I usually chop it in two to three sections and trim most fan leaves. I’m thinking I need a new/bigger exhaust or another fan. I’ve only had this happen twice and always in summer. I also think a clip on fan up top would help.
I feel your pain, I just lost a plant to the mold, albeit after chop ... thought my conditions were ideal in the dryer but the plant had been heat stressed right before I dropped her and the top cola wound up getting the fuzz ... always tough to see those nice colas go into the trash.
All you can do is up your air flow and try to get that RH down a bit... especially during the dark cycle since cool, dark and humid are molds 3 favorite things
