Nice color - good looking bushes - did the area with the bud rot have crispy leaves around it? Great pics!

[oldjarhead100]

On most plants you can see it on the stems it turns them brown and dried out then the buds turn to dust I've tried everything to slow it down, when I find it now I take everything from the first sign and up then keep the part of the bud above without bud rot ,ive tried cutting it away from the plant and its in the stem when You come back to it the bud will be a loss .my experence only

[Tika]

Thanks @Canuck47 the first Manifestation I watch for is brown ish sugar leaf/ leaves - usually on the top shelf...just one discolored / discoloring leaf - bend open the bud and there is the brown/grey rot. I cut the stem from there up, cut the rot and save ( but co tinue to watch) the rest of the cola. Apparently the Flora Essence helps curb molds/rots/WPM. Also 3 treatments Regalia. Which I haven't used yet.

Graceful Grem Reaper coming down...love hate coastal environment. Could have gone 2 more weeks. A fabulous plant in outdoor hotter dryer environment. Will miss her presence.

[Campesino]

Thanks Tika !
Nope, I decided to let the Caramel Kush get the full flush treatment and will wait until tomorrow to harvest her. She'll be first and then Dosidos (tiny clone) and The Jack Herrer will follow on Wednesday and maybe Thursday too. My dark period ends at 9:30pm and I have a wife-imposed curfew of Midnight, so I will probably only be able to do one plant per night. Even that might be pushing it, but these three are the smallest...

[Tika]

Just eager for you. Will be watching 😝

[Tika]

Thank you @BU2B😊 again- I appreciate your company and appreciation. I admit I'm a photo junkie both in posting and viewing others images.

[oldjarhead100]

Sorry you had to take her early I hate bud rot its such a bummer after all that hard work to lose it at the end ,I probably have a couple of pounds of plant material that had bud rot on it in the barn I am planing on making dry ice hash with it ,I think the bud rot is bigger than 90 micron cause any thing thats under 90 is smooth and doesn't make you cough for ten minutes ,then use the over 90 stuff for oils and or salves

[Tika]

It's a wrap on first round with Honeysticks Genetics http://picbear.online/the_honeysticks

[Doubledealing72]

I love seeing your harvest pics. They are so aesthetically pleasing! Great job Tika!

[Vapo69]

just plugging away....trying to grow monsters

[Tika]

Thank you very much @mccubed476 😘

[Tika]

Dina Chem, my outside girl that was a herm that didn't herm back. Had to save the top leaves...special gifts....and will pull that f.....g dog hair off first.
Happy Friday Bud-dies 🤗

[Chefbjy]

Love the arrangement of buds in pic 2 looks like a giant bud 😃.

[oldjarhead100]

I see Nebula is going to have another picture to post wow I love that first one, it kind resembles a owl the face anyways .my wife's native name is laughing owl ,so I see hooters every where lol but all 3 are winners ,I love the way you left the sugar leaves on the tops

[BillBates]

That's the very attitude that attracted me to this forum. Skol.

[oldjarhead100]

I think we are of the same mind on this forum , there are very few No don't it this way kinda people on it and everyone is so helpful ,I love this place (almost typed Bar )

[BillBates]

Loving the "Bar" too much is the main reason I started growing.

[Tika]

Catching a few natural rays after feeding time
Cognac (5) and Mint diesel sleven (3) 41 days from seed All topped once sofar. Removed some huge fan leaves.
All Indicas this time around/ feminised seeds🤓
Genetic testing for Honeystick Genetics
🐝 happy Sunday one and all

[Chefbjy]

Agreed OJH.

[BillBates]

It just gets better & better.... first an H. Bosch reference & now a Beatles one. Coolio!

[Tika]

Sweet folks- thanks😘

[Tika]

EverClear (gak- must be followed with double cream Brie cheese or Gorgonzolla to stave off the sublingual dance) and ( part of the) the sativa mix of last harvest.
Looking forward to a sativa geterdun weed pulling dose😝

[Chefbjy]

Yeah can't stand the taste by itself... I like to put it in my coffee 😃.

[oldjarhead100]

I tried it once and evaporated off the everclear after that this round I added a 1/4 cup coconut oil to it and put a little of that on some pudding before bed , I grabbed a gram of cali gold sativa oil and tried that yesterday morning
I finished the veggie garden ,watered with runoff water on new veggie plants then watered it all ,there was a bunch of stuff I cant remember but I went outside at 720 am and went in at 630 pm thats a great day for me my pain level is usually to high by 3pm , I had plenty of prerolls and just never came in lol

[BillBates]

Don't get me started using everclear for anything. I can't keep the stuff around me without getting either arrested or divorced.

[Tika]

Will be flipping after the weekend...older son coming ( cool with grow) ( younger son just left-cool with grow too) but minimizing fan noise. Will be about 55 days maybe. A "Hedge Witch "! Wednesday ( thank you @Beach_Town_Brit) finished butter and 1st round Sativa tincture. Just 3 drops at a time- no I don't drink it- just a day tripper for the hamster wheel tasks.

[PuravidaC]

oldjarhead100 I have my pots on plastic stands that sit in saucers to catch run off so they are raise off concrete floor but my small grow room is packed with all the equipment I have so my pots are right next to the fresh air intakes. I flushed them last week and placed a 6" fan to blow on fabric pot to help dry them out quicker but thought it was acting like a swamp cooler and cooling root ball too much. Maybe I am just over thinking!!! 🤔

[PuravidaC]

No problem, Tika I just thought you didn't love me anymore!! 😉 I saw the carpet under your plants and thought it may be a carpet runner. I have been doing research on root ball temps for awhile. Sometimes I get "lost in the weeds"!! Your growing skills shine brightly with every grow!! I feel so inadequate!! 🙄

[Tika]

PuravidaC LOL of course I still love you...I'm just so long winded ( you might have noticed) and I have much to say in response to your last message and need to wait til I can write without distraction so I can hold my f.....g train of thought🤓

Well...target the market...
Campesino Terminator for my cannabis, my lavender, my rosemary isn't so a divine image either but....it works.....

[Tika]

I agree. Think I am the oldest-at least female- member here...with an art and design background being subjected to the emerald triangle iconography of California...like we haven't passed the PeterMax stage yet. I like Christian Dior logos....but my cabinet is filled with strange😛

[Paracelsus]

Your bee photo should be the logo. It’s a no brained

[oldjarhead100]

tika is going to have another fantastic grow , how tall are your plants before the flip and how long do you veg?

[Tika]

oldjarhead100 thanks for your vote of confidence😊 generally I go about 8+ weeks. Currently this group is just over 2 feet. The slevens are wired (lst) but the cognacs are short and bushy (was told they would be). Pistils are beginning to form and I am still removing huge fan leaves with purple stems. My MAIN consideration for going to the tent with 12/12 is: are my T5s supplying enough light and all I can say out that is it is mostly intuition- are the fan leaf stems getting long and reachie (not the perky), do they "feel thin"? Lovin' that science????? I like to flip with more mature plants, some strains seem to arrive sooner than others. I love the worry free phase of veg: can feed day or night, no temperature or humidity issues, and I don't have to climb a ladder at 6am every morning and be on deck for the same at 6pm. I'm 100% manual as my journals explain.
Big hugs🤗

[Tika]

Well...getting crowded so Friday is Flip day. Tent cleaned, minor defol ( YES I do) and basic LST in place, Granddog settled in for the next 3 weeks. No wagonettes as yet and kinda glad as summer here means hot inland (triple digits) and so we get fog/am pm drip and I'm still pissed about the last bud for outside last grow at the friggin end. Will miss the veg stage per usual BUT I have some more interesting crosses heading way.

[Californiakid]

Honeysticks has the right grower for the job thats for sure. The organization and consistency is inspiring.

[Tika]

Thanks you 2🤗

[Vapo69]

Good on Honeystix for recognising talent and giving credit, where it's due

[Tika]

Thanks for hanging in-@Aloner! Steady as you go🎩❤️🎩

[Tika]

Whoopie! My next REGULAR seeds. Photos will tell you the hybrid sativa crosses ( since it will take 10 years to correct/correct spelling check. ) Excited that Wedding Cake is tested and is a rare phenomenal) all crosses can be found online should you be interested. Happy to have gorilla cookies & Girlscout cookies & granddaddy purple in the mix...have grown them all.
Did transition feed,moved plants to tent, measured lights on canopy....will dream next harvest and germ tonight
Pipe in your ages on kingfish new topic. It's fun.
