That sure is pretty bud pictures, I grow in living soil so I don't flush, flushing is controversial to many anyways.
I'd smoke them buds right now, but another week want hurt nothin, all I'd be using is water an molasses til chop, which looks like pretty soon. Alot of folks let their soil dry out before chopping.
Nice job, congratulations.

It could be Siamese cat hair, Sam loves the closet, sometimes I have to pull him out before the lights go off. I know the tiny little popcorns are useful but do I support them together until they mature or break off from the weight and then freeze or decarb, or is it better to get them off now? I prefer vaping, a deceased friend's son has a friend with a press. I've been converting dispo concentrates to vape oil to save money while waiting on my grow. And smoking up old dispo flower that I bought on deals before IL went legal rec Jan 1st. It's been hard to get what I want since then, the cultivators weren't prepared for the demand and they raised med prices. I love hash, can't believe the trim bins cost what they do but I watched a vid of a dude with a gallon baggie of trim and popcorn bud, he got a massive pile of kief out of it, the bottom tray was full edge to edge and thick. I have a lb of unopened organic store-bought ghee in the fridge, unopened organic coconut oil and Irish butter but I kind of like gummies more than baked edibles, they work faster for me. A friend gave me homegrown from her dad's farm potatoes, last time they were TDF. Some canna butter would be great with those. Flushing - I watered yesterday afternoon with just pH'd water, some cal-mag and Flower Fuel. I bought one of those USB microscopes on sale, I need to read and get it set up this weekend. Thanks so much!

The grow closet got vacuumed and cleaned three days ago. I did find some carpet fibers in a small ball. I don't let the pugs in the guest bedroom - baby gate - but the Siamese cat loves to go into the closet when I'm working in there. They look like different diameters but since it's near the closet doors I'll guess cat hair, he likes weed stems better than homegrown catnip. Thanks. House was built in 1978, I changed the HVAC filter last month, I finally dyed my quarantine greys 1-2 weeks ago. When I clicked to enlarge the bud photo on here I saw a round, colored drip/drop.

It could simply be a piece of dust, growing in an a room built in basement of a 100 year old house I seen it a lot till I did things to mitigate it. I still see some though, just gives me something to work on to improve my setup. I have found if it can be seen with the naked eye it is one of my gray or grey for our Britts hairs otherwise if not moving it's generally dust.

Is it hair? I flush when i see all cloudy. By the looks in the last 2 pics getting really close to looking cloudy. Folks just pluck off those fluffy buds and freeze them or decarb for butter and oil for cooking that's what i use it for or i give it away to those folks who squeeze it for smoking? I cook with it.

Hi, happy end of October. I'm waiting on more yoyos and I need to put up another string by the back wall. I used twisties to bracket for supports until more yoyos arrive. Qs: 1. What do I do with all the larfy buds, growing on the bottoms of the plant(s), that are getting heavy-ended but have thin/weaker stems? 2. I see white strings? threads? something in one of the buds in the photos, is it a bad thing? 3. When would you guess I might start flushing with pH'd water and molasses? Thank you so much.

Hey Puglover1 life can be so up and down but you have risen to the challenge. I feel for you and send only good thoughts. We took in a pug named Abbey for
almost 2 years from my wife's younger sister and she was very hard to give back when the time came. Such a wonderful little dog. Hope it goes well there.
Great growing. Can't think of a better grower to follow here then Mr furley.

[Puglover1]

Thank you Mr.furley, sir. Your grow room looks like a clean room at the CDC or NIH, and I've taken note of many of your great ideas (adaptations?). What I was hoping for with the Blood Moon was a change in juju, it's been a challenging month. I was expecting to be busy around Thanksgiving. I sure will do some things differently on my next grow. Peace.

[Mr.furley]

Good morning Puglover1
We all do the best we can with what we have and I'm sorry to hear about you pup, keep your chin up though all the rough stuff and in time with practice you will find what work for you and your grow to make it easier each time. You have done a wonderful job of saving this grow and I'd bet if you look back to your first question you can see how the hands on experience of bring cannabis to full term seems a little easier now then two months ago! A lot of us on here struggle with physical difficulties myself included and over time I've learned what my body can do and what my body refuses to do so I've adapted my grow to simplify things. You're rounding the home stretch here and it's been a pleasure watching you do this you may make the blood moon but I would think a little bit longer.

Till the next time.

We're alive and growing still. I need to order a loupe. My yoyo helpers are freaking yoyos, they're so slow I don't need molasses. I have the heavy and space-invading colas twisty-tied to plant zip ties around stems and/or against doors until tmrw. Two are tied to shelf braces. I found some of their baby pictures. I'll probably reveg plant(s) to get clones. I plan to vacuum the carpeting (under the heavy plastic) on the closet floor and sprinkle some D.E. in the carpeting. Can't hurt anything - right?? Going to remove the fluorescent fixture and put my other tower fan in the corner so I can use both white fans on top. I can't bend the fingers on my previously-dominant R hand, a hospital-acquired wound infection. Those spring-loaded trim scissors are what I've needed for 20 years, left-handed scissors suck. Y'all give me deeply-appreciated advice and I probably seem like a slacker but I'm doing my best alone keeping myself, two pugs, a Siamese cat, and the three plants alive and thriving. I've had a month with dr appts being cancelled, switched to virtual, my ride dropped the ball to the only one I could've gone to in Chicago on Tuesday. My youngest pug has a rare disease, before he turned 4 yrs old in May he had already incurred $20K in vet bills. He vomited 9 times in 12 hours two weekends ago. I thought I had him back to normal, he vomited 5x in the bed/room when I woke up Tuesday morning. This month has been like Friday the 13th, Murphy's Law and the Full Moon Effect all rolled into one. I expected to be harvesting in November, hoping the Halloween Harvest Moon changes my luck. And I know things can always be worse, I met a blind grower on Twitter. She starts training her plants after the second set of leaves, does all her trimming by hand, and presses her own rosin. She had some big, beautiful colas drying.

[SoOrbudgal]

I'm a big fan of cloning

Nice turnaround Puglover1

[lalaland]

Mine are also in a tray on the spare bathroom counter😂 with the bathroom lights on, during lights out in the grow room.
I don’t even have a grow light in there.

[lalaland]

Reveg takes a while. Twice as long as regular clones, but can definitely be done to preserve a strain. I’m revenging monster cropped clones right now without any issues for the same reason. Took 3 of each kind just to make sure that 1 lived.
They’re all doing well

[Poppa]

You could reveg your grow to get the clones you desire.
