Hottest day of the year so far here in OKC. Not much relief on the way according to the 10 day forecast. At least there is a decent breeze.

IDK what to say, tragedy, bugs have pretty much killed the Sour Tangie White Widow cross, I cant catch them there, damn, just damn. I may harvest as she has amber trics, and with the bugs eating her faster now than she is growing. Time to cut my losses with this one, and for next year, unless this is some outstanding bud, I wont grow it again.
And Wild Thing was blown over yesterday, a hard gust from the west and she broke over just above the ground. She has never been feed, nor watered, only what falls from the sky and what is under her. No PHing, just tossed the seeds on the ground and kicked dirt over them. I guess it will be easier to measure her to see how tall she was. She is also very sticky, I may put a larger patch there next year. Grasshoppers are a problem though.
Since I cant get what I want I am experimenting, the Blue Dream BB3 cross was thin and wanting nutes. I picked up 2 sacks of over ripe bananas, ate a few while the others became very dark and runny. Then I put them around the plant and covered them with about 8" (or so) of soil. The buds have started swelling, I'll do more 'nanas next year.
The Black Domina BB3 cross is doing ok, a bit of a bug magnet, the sativa dom one was killed by bugs leaving those that show Indica dom.
The BB4 IDK if I have time to feed her some 'nanas, but that may happen tomorrow.
Its still HOT outside, not 100's but close enuf, RH has been low and nights have been cool (upper 50s, low 60's), may get a few drops of rain Wednesday but I aint counting on it!
Time to go cut down the STxWW, bugs you get no more of it!

Well don't have none of those issues, it's just finding the sun now for my girls.

That sucks hard. The wind was blowing so hard here yesterday that I went out and rigged up support lines on my plants. They are big enough that they are like sails. The wind was almost doubling them over and I was afraid they would either snap or uproot.

Snowcaine is done. Gave her the chop yesterday. She shed most of her leaves on her own. Ran low on nitrogen 3 weeks into flower so I just let her cruise. Will amend the soil more next year. Not a big producer but a breeze to trim. Some of the dankest weed I've ever grown. Smells like strawberries and skunk. Did find a few small spots of bud rot but I would say this strain is good resistance being as hot and humid this Summer has been.

The wind is still pretty gusty here today, and temps are around 90. But, the humidity is low, so I'd easily take 3-4 more weeks of this.
I am watching Wild Thing very closely, they are again telling us we have rain coming, but I dont think it will make it here. IF it does, or looks like it will, I think I'll take the big buds from her and try a double harvest from her. I may take buds that are now under others just to stay ahead of bud rot. I did take a look with the 30x, milky and a few amber so it wont be a total loss. As of yesterday it has not wilted, so it may do something IF we have time.

Rumor has it we will get rain in Oregon over the weekend......i've only got the 4 plants in pots to worry about. One i already stuffed in the greenhouse she takes up all the space, other 3 will be dragged under a carport already blocked off an area so deer can't get to them. Since i'm now on my own for the a time i'm not gonna set up a canopy over them just move them in an out of rain.
Good luck with the rain, I got none, not even a sprinkle. Looks like we will have hot weather until the day fall arrives, then we drop 10* on the high end and drop into the 50s at night I heard the words "Dust Bowl" on the propaganda. Myself I expect changes, I think Death Valley will become an ocean again, maybe in the next 20 years it will start to refill.
I did the deed on the Wild Thing, better safe than sorry. Nice sticky smelly, now IF there is time for a double harvest, that would be cool.
The last few days I have been finding huge grass hoppers on my plants (and a few stink bugs), they just set there while I pick them off and remove there guidance systems and release them back into the wild.
Things that have helped, all purpose floor spread on the plants around the grow (while the dew is on). Spinosad sprayed on the ground and plants (dusk) around the grow (not on the girls) helped a lot, this thinned them down. In the fields I cut the johnson grass that was near 10 feet tall so the birds can find and eat them.
My new to me toy is a Kubota L345, this thing out mows the ford 3000 by a long way, no more fords here! BTW that ford is not really a ford its a New Holland, the New fords are Chinese, beware.

Curious about "release their guidance systems". I usually just stomp on them.
So close and so far away. Still fighting bugs, hemp borers, grasshoppers, a few bud worms. I have been feeding them a bit, rotating between Epsom Salts, Black Strap Molasses, liquid potash, apple vinegar. Just added 2 gallons of wood ash and some powdered sulfur in each pot to feed those flowers. The temps have finally dropped, nights in the 40'sF and 80's in the day, another chance to not get rain this week. Can you see how the trees are hurting? I need rain, but can we get it near the plants and not on them, LOL

Yep looking closer Rwise are some of those seeded? I'm still feeding bloom to mine maybe gave last dose to 1 and keep giving bloom to other 3. Trichs are all cloudy on 3 and the long hauler in the greenhouse tent ain't even close. We may get some rain coming on Monday. All the trees have been loosing leaf do to low ground water, fried some to a crisp. But i'm happy we are pulling it off this year, for Oregon the grows have been very good.
SoOrbudgal Not seeded, maybe a stray I did find 2 seeds on the wild thing while trimming. I'll have the magnifier out in a bit, the last big blow broke a few limbs (I may remove them) which I tied back in place. We have a chance of rain coming, we need it badly, but without it has been nice not having to fight bud rot! It looks like some of my trees are not going to make it this year, another fall with no colour. One of the growers near me is taking his today, so they dont get wet.
I just took down all but the BB4, 1 of the black domina BB3 crosses was about 80% amber, while its mate was maybe 5%. 1 of the blue dream BB3s was about 30% amber while its mate was about 10%. The (Mp x T1000) x Santa Marta Colombian Gold was near 30% amber as well. With rain coming in (ya right) I just was not willing to risk bud rot on these, the BB4 is just not ready so I'll risk it. I'll leave the rest of wild thing too, I think, I have not been out in the field yet today. The house is starting to smell awesome! Also took down a seeded plant, SMCG x Black Willie.

Sun breaks inbetween rain showers today mine are now 2 days out of the sun/rain under cover. I go and check them wish they were all cloudy but not. By wed suppose to be sunny, found another tiny moth worm is what i'm thinking inside another bud that's really sticky no others seem to have attracted this moth worm? Skinny light brown as thin or thinner than pencil lead. I made him screem ! Man Rwise congrats on getting them to finish good. I'm still holding out on mine cause i want to at least get some amber. Keep crossing your fingers for us in the PNW

Took down one of my Zookies plants today. Was a fairly small producer, but since it was about 20% amber, I wanted to get one in the drying stage as we're scheduled to get some rain and higher humidity over the next few days. All my others are mostly cloudy (no amber), so the potted ones are going under cover. My 3 in-ground ladies will have to ride it out. I have an old buddy who's been growing outdoors for decades, and he uses a leaf blower on his after every rain. Anybody ever try that?

That actually doesn’t sound like such a bad idea. My only concern would be in making sure it doesn’t blow any spores and dirt at the plant, picked up either off the ground or from inside the machine from previous blowing of leaves. A big box fan might be better but it would be less portable and you would need a nearby outlet.
