Nice but I have a question..Where is your Grass?

 

[Rwise]

LOL Thats easy, in the pots

 

[SoOrbudgal]

LOL changeofpace2014 I'm not watering all the backyard yet just the newly planted trees an bushes i've been planting since i bought this place. It is a 60+yr old little stucco house and had zero landscaping except for a maple tree in back. I'm still planting bushes no more trees though. I've got a small front yard that is green i've got deer hopping my short fence and pooping never had a problem with them cause at my old place i had taller fence around my garden area. I hand water those plants every 3days with a house till they get going. Figured i planted over 50 bushes and 8 trees so far. I love it.

I'm crossing my fingers for y'all hope we get decent harvest for this summer. It's been a long strange trip this year for alot of growers. Bud worms more an more now. I like doing alot of leaf removal outdoors too. I'm already for the chop but not real enthusiastic about hand trimming by myself.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Yeah congratulations nice haul enjoy your harvest

Keep those deer out of your backyard SoOrbudgal or you'll have nothing but roots in those pots.

They love weed more than anything and will come for miles once they smell it.

SoOrbudgal It has been a challenging season for sure. Found some bud rot on the GG4, beautiful top bud to..bummer.
She's close enough to come down, and once bud rot starts......decisions,decisions
I'm surprised as she's been inside at night and under a light when it rains.
This is also the stage in the grow when growing in small 2 gal containers becomes problematic(root issues)

 

[GreenState]

Looks fantastic !! I'd have to hire help to trim it (lol)

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Yep it's me again since i was outside trimming yellow leaves off some of the plants i thought ohhh how pretty my 3 Run Homer plants are turning better take pics. I grew 2 of these gals i love the smell of them and how they fade in cool temps. Had 43f this a.m. and rain is forecast for Sunday. These are mostly indica strains they are pushing the last of the energy out now. I am eager to begin taking them down but i'm holding out for more amber they have all milky trichs. 1 stayed short 1 grew tall. Easy peasy strain and won't be bad to trim compared to the unknown bag seed gals my gosh clipping yellow leaf off those filled a bucket an then some. These outta be ready within a week i'm hopeing. Have fun with your grows, enjoy

Looking good !
One bonus of my roof grow , no deer problems

 

[Smallgrow]

I still got some time on the clock here, but things are going well on the roof.
The big one is 70” tall from the soil. About 7’ with the pot.

Bowhunterwoody Looks like a nice stretch of fall weather next week after this weekends rain.
Don't think it will be as shitty here as they originally predicted, fingers crossed!
So I've had to rejigger my game plan. Having found some bud rot on now 2 buds, on my GG4, I made the corporate decision
to take her down and be thankful for what she yields. The mystery girl above ( think it is GG4,or has some GG4 in her)
which I took the fan leaves off of will now be pushed out further before chopping. I think the white widow is a month out at least, will finish her inside, will be well worth it for long term storage. White widow and spring/summer go like peas and carrots imo.
Have a great weekend all

 

[GreenState]

I love it! Beautiful plants you have there.

I loved growing autos on my roof at my old place. It had all day sun but i never put a photoperiod up there because of strong winds i'd often have to go and pick them up they'd topple over. I hope we get to harvest some plants with more amber but it's not looking good for me in so. oregon. It was smokey last evening and today overcast an cooler cause rains are coming sunday. Good luck

Hey GreenState. Yea it looks great after Monday. Too bad I pulled the trigger yesterday. Had some rot in five or six buds on both plants so I didn't want to loose anymore. They both could have used a little more time but it was spreading faster than I expected. The trics were all cloudy with a few amber here and there. Started last night and most of today in trim jail. Still have another 4 or 5 hrs tomorrow. Should be close to two lbs dried. Would have been more without the rot. It always kills the biggest buds. Next year have to top at least one more time and try to keep them manageable.

Ya wind can be a problem. Last time I had the pots tied down. This time I’m using a Blumat watering system which keep the soil constantly moist, so there is more weight in the pots and they seem to stay put. Now I have the tomato cages in place for support I may tie them anyway.
I’m considering building a make shift poly roof to protect them from the bulk of the fall rain, that should up the anti on the wind problem, but Im worried about getting to the finish line.

 

[Bowhunterwoody]

Well I'm out. Pulled the trigger on Friday. Started trimming the girls. Had too much rot and was worried about losing the whole thing. 30 mph winds with rain for another 4 day stretch was impossible to keep them dry. Finished them today after a total of 22 hrs of jail. Lost about 25% to rot. Didn't take any chances and tossed anything that looked suspicious. What's left looks and smells great. A little more amber than I thought. Hoping for around 30 jars from the two with what's left. Always feels lonely outside after the chop, even thought this grow wasn't as much fun as past grows. Next year have to manage size much better and look into a small greenhouse.

 

[Bluey]

Well done
