It is that time of year, though I think the outdoor big boy grows (one of them is 40 acres) next to me are turning loose predator bugs!

I got those too Booger789 came out of the ground in the mulch areas, yep thousands. They are not around where my plants are or i'd move them.

I cut all those nasty looking buds off yesterday, there was certainly a start of bud rot in them, the GF went through and cut out all the bad.

Rwise i looked at the beginning post of your tiny plants in those big pots and fella you got trees.

That was the goal! LOL Honestly, I'll do better next year, I just did not have time to get as prepared as I would have liked mixing the soil and planting strait into it, it should have aged just a bit, and need way more of it! All those trees behind the girls, well I see a raised garden from them!

A bit of a trim on the SSK today, I found 2 praying mantis on it and moved them as I trimmed. The first one I moved to the GSC, the second I tried to put on a GG4 it siad it would rather stay on my hand/arm, so I put it with the other one and it stepped right off into the bud. I got a shot of the second one.
The pile is from the SSK, the buds in boxes are from the Mazar, the Qt jar is the auto, the lone bud is a pinch from the Shock Trauma.

Hey mazzariman..Gonna try the paper bag this time. Makes sense.

Cool Bowhunterwoody. I've been using bags since the early 80's and it gives a nice cure. If they're too moist going into the bags though they'll flatten and mash together. If too dry, they'll just get drier. I've heard folks say to hang until the small stems will snap. I think that's just going a bit too long and dry. Good luck!

This is the first year I've done bud washing. I've had the usual caterpillar issues with droppings and debris that collect on plants due to being grown outdoors. I'm not sure how much p[otency is lost through washing but I'm convinced it was the right thing to do this year. Here are some pics of the process I used on my "Trees" this year. I created some drying boxes for hanging the branches as well. Easy and cheap to make ($2. per box, $11.00 for spool of fishing line, ruler and pen for marking where to punch hole for running the line, 1 nail for punching holes in boxes), and stackable to save space. Hope this is useful to someone. Enjoy!
Pic #1 - I used lemon juice and baking soda in the 1st bucket, plain water in the other two buckets
Pic #2 - Hanging for a few hours outside after wash to dry off
Pic #3 - Boxes with fishing line strung for hanging to dry before curing
Pic #4 - Boxes stacked for easy storage while drying
Pic #5 - Brown bag for curing

From the looks of that water, I'd say it was a good idea. I'll be washing a couple of small outdoor plants myself pretty soon.

Yeah, I had to come up with an alternative to using my basement like area under the house where I used to hang everything on line. It was always around 60-65 degrees even in summer. Since the ground was dirt the rats could get in. I came in to the basement one time, turned on the light, and saw all my buds swinging around. I thought WTF, it's not windy in here! I Looked up and LMAO! I saw them running on the fishing line my colas were hanging from like they were on a tightrope! Trying to shake them off so they could drag them off somewhere. For what purpose I can only imagine. I had been wondering why I kept finding my buds on the dirt floor. Can't poison them cause they'd just run off and die, stinking up the house, and then the flies would be all throughout the house! Tried traps for a bit, but I felt like just switching to boxes would be easier. Now I just keep the boxes inside the house where it is around 70-73 degrees. They dry a bit quicker but not too much. I crack up when I see that Geico commercial on tv about the couple that have a "Ratt" problem! I actually worked with Warren DeMartini for a week at a cafe in Hollywood back in 84 and they filmed the video Back for More there. He was quitting to go on tour so I was replacing him. I was in town visiting for the Olympics so I quit soon after to head back to Humboldt! Priorities ya know!Last edited by Mazzariman; 09-23-2020, 11:42 AM.

With the rain came 2 broken limbs on the other GG4, so now instead of tied down they are tied up. I hope we get some sunshine today, I want to be out there with my 30x!

I'm really starting to worry about rot on my little outdoor girls, I might take them soon. I don't know how long they've been flowering, Now that I look back, it's been at least 12 weeks now I think lmao. No wonder a couple have been looking pretty spent for a few weeks now hahaha. Man, I think I have a 5+ month old autoflower still alive.
