JH/SD/GSC - Grow 8

Today is day 112 for the Jock. She is ripening a little more everyday. She still has a little ways to go, and I was thinking about doing a staged harvest on this one. I've never tried it, but it would be cool to let the bottom nugs get some light and plump up a bit more.

​​​​​​Have a great week everyone.

She looks awesome, mcubed. I cut off the tops of colas on this past harvest and I was amazed at how fast the buds below ripened up!
 
Today is day 113 for the Jock, and I regrettably had to pull her. I noticed one leaf in particular looked unusual, and under the microscope I saw spider mites. I was hoping this day would never come, but it happened.

So after freaking out about it for a few minutes (it was 4am and no stores open to grab spider mites stuff), I decided the best thing to do was to chop the plant and engage in my first bud wash.

I had seen bud washing before on YouTube and thought it was insane, but enough people have done it so I figured I would give it a try. 3 5 gallon buckets, one with 1/4 cup baking soda and lemon juice. Fill them all with water, dunk them in the first one, then the second then the third.

The branches are hanging with a fan blowing on them, and it's almost already as dry as it would be when you chop it down to harvest.

So I sprayed my girls that are still in the tent with mighty wash, so let's hope I have eradicated them.

Anyway, here are pics from my reluctant harvest

what a bummer I was trimming up a plant and there was a spider web at the bottom near the soil shit I said and wiped it away then this little monster of a pissed off spider came looking for trouble lol not really I left him be, happy it was a spider not a mite

I was hoping I would never have to deal with them, but here we are. The worst part is I don't know how they got there so I can prevent them from getting there again lol.
 
Well, this grow kinda ended how it started...shitty lol.

After finding out I had spidermites, I took my plant down and gave it a budwash.

I sprayed my new grows plants with mighty wash, and while I haven't seen any signs of spidermites, they aren't looking the healthiest. However, I didn't spray any water on them the next day, so that's probably why.

Anyway, I have the Jock dried and curing now, so here's the final weigh up for this grow.

FINAL NUMBERS AND SUMMARY:


GIRLSCOUT COOKIES - 140g (5 oz)

SOUR DIESEL - 173g (6 oz 5g)

JOCK HORROR - 114.8g (4 oz 2g)

TOTAL HARVEST - 427.8g (15 oz 7g).


I'm happy with this number given how it started and ended lol. I think the Jock would have yielded at least another oz if the spidermites hadn't been there.

I think I was becoming more careless with my grow than when I started out. Going to the grow room after mowing the lawn or working outside cannot happen any more. I'll be sure to be far more careful about when I go down there from now on.

​​​​​​Grow 9 is under way now, and this grow is over.

Thanks for coming along everyone!

they suck big time if those are dry weight then it was a good yield even with mites , I saw aphids in the Green House so I ordered green lace wing eggs ,I haven't seen many bugs yet but the aphids are disappearing
 
Thanks for taking the time to post, your thread was fun to follow.. I think I mentioned previously that GSC is on my list and the genetics you have look nice. Looking forward to seeing your next run.

Cheers

Thanks everyone, I'm hoping they are all gone. I haven't seen any on the young ones, so far so good.

Thanks HappyDaze , the Girlscout is pretty tasty. I hope yours grows well too! The next grow is already under way
 
Mcubed476, as a point of curiosity, are you willing to share where you got your Girl Scout Cookies seeds?

I was able to pick up that strain from a local store, and will probably give it a try shortly. If I like it (and based on reviews, I probably will!), it might be worth sourcing some seeds and growing it 'en mass. Just since $70 for an eighth oz seems a little steep! Legalization is fun, but expensive here.
