On to some better news in the flower tent.

Pandemic was chopped on day 75 of flower. If things were going great I'd let her go two more weeks




Lavender Jones is on day 55 of flower. I'm hoping to let her go another 2-3 weeks as she's turning purple




Single Scoop on day 28 of flower. Looked this whole plant over and balls spotted. Finally confirmed that the clone rooted.



Kitchen Sink on day 13 of flower. So far has doubled in size

Moon Juice clone has entered the tent today


Flower tent. Had to remove a tortured Bittersweet clone that'll be replaced by another BS clone

I meant NO balls spotted on the single scoop.

Funny how those two little letters change everything. That is good news. Be a shame to have to chop her. Keep rockin it. Loving the Lavender Jones, it looks so good.

Definitely! Single Scoop is Gelato 33 x Birthday Cake. I deffo would’ve cried if I had to chop it lol. The clone had me worried for a bit as the Kitchen Sink clone I took rooted and really flourished and the SS looks like I just took the cutting last week instead of a month ago.

The Lavender Jones has finally pushed me to buy flower nutrients instead of just thinking/talking about it. I’m looking forward to how she’ll look in 2 weeks and I need to clone the clones asap because they are lanky af.

I have the fan and exhaust on high. The temp was 71 degrees and the humidity 66% when I checked... any suggestions?

Filtration. I have merv13 household filters on the air intake. I think merv9 is the low end for mold.

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.

The electrical stuff right now is the reason I haven't fired up a 3rd tent I'm maxed out on my breaker & wiring I'm wanting to run my growroom on it's own breaker & wiring I have room in the breaker box to add a breaker I've been putting it off lol

Yeah I can’t go above 200 watts in fear of tripping the breaker so I stay around 170w right now. You should call up an electrician to set it up, or do it yourself if ya know how, so you can fire up that 3rd tent. More room = more genetics to play with.

I'm in fear of the same thing, I'm running on a 20 amp that's only half the garage. I test it by cutting with my saw and seeing if it trips lol. The other 20 in the garage does not work. I think the problem Is in crawlspace and my crawlspace sucks asss.

I'm running 850 watt just in lights alone it's just a matter of shutting the whole house down while I do the work right now I'm accumulating materials & converting a motorhomes generator for emergency power as I live in a fire zone & we have power outages in the summer months

Call an electrician to get that other amp fixed if you’re able to! Electricity is one of the few things I don’t suggest DIYing ?

Nice!! and yes but I did kinda grow her small so there isn’t much to trim. Just make sure humidity doesn’t get too high at night when she’s getting near the end of her days. I

I live in the California gold country at an elevation of 1000ft. humidity stays 35-45% prior to this I lived at the edge of the San Joaquin delta &80% was not uncommon

The california mountain valleys have some amazing microclimates for cannabis. They can vary greatly. Cali might be the first to do like wines and create appelations. But find the right valley and magic happens. Sounds like you have found a good spot with good conditions herk.

 

[Dino Party]

Ahhhh sorry that sucks. I feel your pain. I just had to chop half a dozen cola’s last week in my fight against spider mites. Thank the lord this run is almost done. Can’t wait to tear down and bleach the shit out of everything.

I'm in calaveras county & I'm wanting to develop 2 strains involving sour grapes in the cross & in honor of the jumping frog name it frog stomper the other variation will use the arcata cut trainwreck & be called frogwreck lol

Alright so I didn’t expect to go over a month without updating but shit happens. Aunt Flo had me feeling like death was near during July and I couldn’t be bothered to do much. Bud rot/Mold coming through an attacking main colas also didn’t/isn’t helping with my growing spirit. Once better though I picked up a old/new hobby that has completely taken away all of my attention as I am the type to completely immerse myself into whatever i’m interested in. However, I decided to update my journal now or I’ll keep talking myself out of it.

I say all that to say, new pics coming soon. ?

 

[GthaEnigma]

I been wondering about those lavender joneses. Good to see you back.
