Day 29 bloom

The plants are starting advanced bloom now. Buds are growing, the lights are shining, the fans are singing. All is going well.

Day 51, day 18 outside
Raining for ever it seems. There were 4 days of sun, heat and humidity. Now the rain has returned. They are getting greener and accepting the fact that they must live outside.

Scissor hash! That sticky, gooey, terpy, stuff that clogs the shears and makes a wonderful addition to any vape or edible. Did you ever wonder what happens to the tricomes when this happens? Here is a microscope pix of the scissor hash from the last trim up of the galaxy. I found it interesting that the trichs are still there, just battered and bent.

Day 35 bloom

Not much to do now but wait, let them finish, and maintain the tent environment. The weather here is rotten, 80s temp and 90s rh and rain. Some random pix.

Day 38 bloom

Just watching the grass grow, waiting and waiting. They are starting to fatten up. 4-5 weeks to the big finish.

There is sun today! So this has turned out to be an experiment of sorts. One plant is not topped or trained, one is topped only and one is manifolded. I have removed the bottom leaves and increased nitrogen and calmag. They are doing much better. But now I am fighting two marked tree hoppers. Turns out there was a bittersweet nearby that was infested. The bitter was removed and now they are all looking for an alternate home. They don't mind being picked off usually and once picked a quick roll in the fingers does them in. Sometimes they fly away. Yesterday I was chasing them with a hand held bug zapper. Today I notice that all the zapps caused by the leaf tips have resulted in the tips now dying. Now I am trying the water vacuum. This is tedious and can cause damage to the leaves if not careful. Any other options? I was thinking ladybugs. I'm not sure there is enough plant to provide them with a home so they stick around.

The livestock that goes with them.

Day 45 bloom
The weather is hot and humid. If this continues I may consider installing AC for the grow area. Some bud pix.

Day 47 bloom

The bloom tent has been trimmed, large fan leaves deleted. Getting ready for harvest. Based on last year's timeline blue cheese may be ready in 7 days or so. The RP-1O4 will take at lease two weeks more. The dreaded bud rot has returned. High 80s temp and high 70 to mid 80s humidity. It is supposed to break in 2 days, hope so. Hurry up and wait.

The outdoor versions are progressing well. The 2 marked tree hoppers are still here but much less common than they were before. They are starting to show the first signs of flower and are becoming fragrant. The non topped plant is about 48 inches tall and stretch has not begun yet. Time will tell how they do.

The indoor solos are nearing harvest also. They have been trimmed. A few fungus gnats in this tent, but so far none in the other tent. At this point they are moot.
