18 days into flower and very happy with their progress. This has been a huge learning experience for me going from 6 plants to nearly 60. Considering the sise of these girls a little over halfway through the grow I'm glad I didn't do a ScrOG.
Venom, the more mature preflower calyces are turning a dark red. The dude who sold me the clones told me they wouldn't turn red without the fall chill but apparently he was wrong.
Key Lime Pie, have a very Sativa growth pattern. Fortunately, their rate of growth is falling on the Indica side. They looked really scrawny during the veg cycle and I was worried they were going to have a sh*t yield but they caught up to and surpassed the Venom by a good 25%. The tallest ones are close to 6' and their internodal spacing isn't half bad for a Sativa dom.
Been having some mold issues with the soil under the girls. Cleaned up the bases for better airflow and to redirect growth to the tops, then sprayed the soil with 30% vinegar, water diluted to 15%.
The beanlings continue to do well.
The newest hatchlings are getting close to an up-plant and reseating, then will go outside with the others.

Resin glands are beginning to form on both strains and the preflower calyces are a decent sise. Good signs that we're going to harvest frosty flowers with a dense structure. The red preflowers and bud leaftips on the Venom give it an interesting look. Should make for beautimus colas and great photos.

20 days into flower, 57 days in the greenhouse. It's now taking me about 3hrs to feed and water. Did a water water flush 4 days ago. For 57 plants I mix 10gal of water (roughly 40L) with 4 cups FoxFarm Grow Big, 6 cups fish emulsion, 1 cup Hi-Brix molasses, and just switched from FoxFarm Open Sesame to 4Tbsp Beastie Bloomz flowering salts. Will begin to add Cal-Mag to the feeding in about 4 days. I feed using a watering can, then water the nutes in with about 2gal per plant.
I can barely fit an overhead shot of the garden into a single frame even on wide angle.

We can now easily distinguish a couple of mislabled Key Lime Pie mixed in with the Venom from a distance.
My cousins ducks/ducklings and rooster that yell at me for fresh cool water (it's pretty hot here) every time I'm in the garden.
My old garden looks so neglected now, hehe.
It's a constant struggle trying to keep the blackberry bushes from invading the greenhouse.

Hey, sorry if I missed it somewhere, but is that the Katsu Key Lime Pie?

I don't know. I bought the clones from a friend's brother. From what I've heard Key Lime Pie has been a popular strain here in the Cali Sierras for the last couple years and local breeders generally rename X-pollinated strains so I have no reason to believe it's anything different than whatever that mainstream strain was.

22 days into flower, expecting to harvest in roughly 38 more. The colas are stacking thick healthy secondary flowers at a substantial growth rate.

The isles are getting crowded but I keep it open by weaving branches up into the netting.
The teenagers are beginning to sex. Looking at close to a 50/50 M/F ratio. Should be up-planting to 10gal-15gal cloth pots soon. After that I'll start taking clones.
The hatchlings are ready to up-plant and go out on the deck to harden off today.

Having an issue with botrytis on the soil. Used vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and copper, but none are working. Going to try bacillus subtillus and mycostop. Nothing on the plants yet but if I can't get it under control it could completely f^ck my harvest.

24 days into flower, estimated 36 days till harvest. The copper fungicide might be working. Hit em once more, fed, then flooded to spread the copper evenly over the surface of the soil. Still going to continue with the other biologicals, bacillus and Mycostop, but at least I've got a minute to recoup some cash 1st.

14/23 Fems, yanked the males. 8 new beanlings up-planted, a mix of Jack Herer, Banana Crack, and Uzi Cookies. If I get males from the Herer or Crack I plan on keeping one of each. The BC and JH are potent and ginormous beasts of plants, excellent breeding stock. I'll save my stash of silver thiosulfate for next season, when I'll have the money to do a proper F1 grow. 20mic netting for isolating pollinators is $$$.

For my own education, why do you think this is botrytis (gray mold) on the soil and not something else like Santa's beard fungus?

26 days into flower.

Rows are getting tight.
Looks like I found a way to kill the blackberries. Dumped 15% vinegar out and in a day it ate a hole in em like acid.
The two on the right were having some rust spot issues on their water leaves. I up-planted them to 10gal pots and sprayed the whole garden down with potassium salts acid just in case it's fungal. Will transplant the other teenagers into 10gal-15gal pots in the next few days. They will be mothers for the greenhouse. Six will go in the 200gal pots as trees and the rest will be my little outdoor garden for beans and personal.

I didn't know what Santa's beard fungus was. I've only encountered botrytis in these gardens.
You're absolutely right. Dude, I f^ckin love you! You just made my f^ckin day!!! Glad I couldnt kill it.

Huge relief. We've got a lot ridin on this grow. If I can get my beans produced this fall and dude is US I'll send him some. I've been super stressed and now I can finally relax and enjoy my plants again. This is only my 4th year growing, and while I learn quickly, I've got a long way to go still.

Thanks brother. If you can find room, hehe. I can barely fit through the isles now. Added a couple stakes to push the netting back and open the Venom isle back up.
