I'm seeing signs of fading in Coconut Grove, so the end is in sight! I had to string up the Durban Poison after it fell over from the weight. I'm starting to think those aren't tomatoes but rotten seed potatoes that somehow survived. Also, Mother's is fading too! The one in the nursery is...

Week whatever of flower! I haven't kept track at all this grow. It's helpful to have a big enough stash that I don't count the days until I should be able to chop. Speaking of chop - Tangie filled two and a half jars and is more potent than the last batch! Drying was a challenge because the...

Happy New Year! I've been busy and not making it here to post but there is news and pics to share. Tangies are hanging to dry in the room because lights are still going in all grow tents. I bumped my head into them a few times today and now I reek of oranges. My Mother boy is about to come down...

Argh. It's been a tough start to the week so the update is late. The garden stuff is fine though. Just a few days after reamending with gnarly barley and homemade worm castings, the flowers got swole compared to these pictures. Also, I have to work the Nursery tent last because it is radioactive...

It's getting more fun with fewer problems and less work now that everything is flowering. As I mentioned above, I'm spraying the plants as soon as I open the tent now and then I turn the sprayer on dried soil after that. I have more budshots of both sexes to post, so here goes. Coconut Grove...

Yes indeed, one boy and three girls! Mother's Finest delivered. Photo was taken under green light. I like the atmospheric look. Trichomes show out big time under that light but I've never been able to capture that effect on digital film.

Everything is blooming! Some are still a little slow because of bug trauma but I should still see a decent harvest. I finally have confirmed a male in the Mother's Finest and I also sequestered a female in the Tangie tent (the biggest MF) for some sinsemilla. I've started top watering through...

Flowers are forming! Some are the wrong kind! No biggie, I've dealt with that enough by now. I've use the long weekend to give attention to rewetting the dried-out places in the pickers. I exhausted the mite spray then refilled with plain water and gave them a good top watering. Here's the pix...

FULL FLOWER MODE! All tents are on 12/12 now. The Mother's Finest was getting too tall so I moved them to flower at the same time as the flower tent. I've had to start watering twice a day in the 4x4s. I reamended on Sunday and noticed that the top of the soil had dried out too much. Those...

Coconut Grove is finally in flower mode! The flower tent now has its scrog net! Tangie is getiing frosty and MF got a haircut. Coconut Grove: Flower Tent: 3x3: Tangie bud: Mother's Finest after a trim: I left a few big fans on the smallest one so it wouldn't be too naked. I added...

The canopy in Coconut Grove is filling out! The flower tent isn't far behind but needs at least another two weeks before flip. I've already changed CG from 18/6 to 16/8 and they are already stretching a bit after two days. Tangie is starting to smell and Mother's Finest is about ready for some...

I had to unload another tray from the worm bin this weekend, so everybody got reamended with good stuff! You can even see the mycelia that busted out the day after in one of the pics. I took all plant pics before defoliation. Coconut Grove: Flower Tent: 3x3 Tangies: Here's a bud shot with...

It was a big weekend for the grow room. I defoliated again and sprayed again after much veg growth and just a few mites found with the scope. Coconut Grove is likely to go to flower within two weeks and the flower tent isn't that far behind. Here's the 4x4s: Coconut Grove Flower Tent after...

All right! It's getting harder to find baby mites, but there are still just a few. I mixed another batch of spray and hit them again on Sunday. I also took a few more leaves from where they weren't needed or too bugbit to thrive. Everything in Coconut Grove needed water today! Emptying the...

MASSIVE CUTBACKS!!! I found just a few mites Sunday morning. Most fans I put under the scope had none, but I found one with a few hatchlings, so I went in to psycho defoliation mode. After denying them most of their habitat, I gave them another spray. I even moved the Tangies into the 3x3 to...

The battle with the hemp russet mites continues. I've been assaulting them with weaker but more frequent drenchings of neem oil/Dr Bronner's and now rubbing alcohol. I think I'm winning. I'll break out the microscope and check again this weekend. On a nicer note, I got around to a honeydew. The...

Fresh pics! The plants continue to recover from a neem/Dr. Bronner's mix that was too heavy on the soap. At least the mites couldn't survive it. Most of them are coming along well enough to manifold and the Tangies are already trimmed to four main branches. It seems one of those may be outing...

Sweet Zombie - when I finally got it right.

Cocoanut Grove : Flower Tent: 3x3: Nursery: Those Tangies are all at six nodes high already! I had to reduce my pics from my phone 35% to get them to upload. :nah:

Big moves happened this weekend. I was forced to replace the Malawi and LBxGTH cross with the two Tangie x Blueberry crosses for failure to thrive. (sniff) During the transplant process, I found out that the weekly shot glass of gnarly barley around the base of the plants tends to attract lots...
