3rd MMJ Grow

Quick question.. Is you location turned on(g.p.s.) , on your phone?
If it's on, turn it off when you take pics.. I made this mistake when I joined this site and my g.p.s. cordinats were tagged to the photos..

Just checked and i have location information turned off on the photos, I hope. Thanks for the heads up.

Here are the Girl Scout Cookies, getting pretty stretched out, probably heat, no visible damage from last night.

 

[newgrow16]

Thinking about starting over. Four nights with temps above 95 nd high humidity, this is result. Probably have root damage, flowering still delayed and hermy city with seeds i used. 5 weeks in, but the result has been pushed back a couple of weeks and i would guess that outcome would be seriously impacted.

Starting over

noooooo!!'

noooooo!!'

why not

I moved all outside. GSC handled stress best but several others are in bad shape. The seeds collected from bags, hermaphrodite problems later? Probably a lot of time added, so I am cutting losses.

Seeds started today and all purchased from breeders through seedsman, gsc and headband from bcbud.

Saved 10 plants by throwing them outside. Stretched from 12" to 40" yet flowers are forming. Hope to keep budworms off for another 4-6 weeks. Second photo is a couple of runts that I put outside and ignored until she started to flower.

 

[newgrow16]

So, what went wrong from my limited knowledge working backwards: 1. Temperature and humidity both got very high during dark hours, during heat wave temperature with light required extra water to keep up with transpiring plants. Too many plants meant that the 27 fabric pots were holding 5-7 gallons of water and I did not remove that moisture from my shed (shed is airtight) fast enough. Plants could have survived beat stress for a week but not the combined humidity and heat. I should have been running fans during dark hours to keep humidity more in control.
2. Too many plants, insane idea to try to grow 9 plants in 3x3 times 3 with some sog idea, dumb on my part. 3. Planting seeds at end of July, I can control temperatures in my outdoor shed with intake and exhaust fans except when temperatures stay above 100 outside for long periods of time. July and August are now dead time in the shed. 4. Yellowing of plants was not caused by lack of nutrients in soil (ffof) but probably a lock out caused by humidity.

Hermaphrodite as expected, closely inspecting for bud worms and instead I find hermaphrodite flowers on six of ten plants.

I think that I will pull off the male flowers and keep all six of those plants. Found one little ball sack that blew its load already.

 

[newgrow16]

Fire, this crop doomed from start, evacuated from home due to fire and firefighters were going to foam my house, I give !!!!

 

[newgrow16]

Plants and house survived as well as my "wood working shed" according to firefighters. Daily bombardment of ash and dust from the burned hillsides surrounding me. House was foamed, fire burned on all sides, two trucks stationed in front of my house. Still have regular visitors, hmm, which one will rat me out for 10 lousy plants outside in the firestorm? Still legal as far as i know.

Flowering plants are receiving foliar feeding of ash and dust, hmmm, how often should I bath? The plants, not me.

Aw man, I'm so sorry. Glad nothing burned though.

Yes, i complain when i should be sharing my gratitude. Things could have been much worse, i am very fortunate that they were not. Grow shed is intact, house is intact, life goes on.

A very similar grow but with out the drama

I always recommend adding 30% perlite to all that FFOF soil,

diluting it some you can add your own nutes later

and makes germing a lot easier too

you are doing fine just you seed selection sucks, that can be fixed very quickly

I too grow most the year in a shed, but summer is outdoors, with winter closer inside

if to hot/cold IMO grow autos, keeping the photos for spring and fall

or like the auzzies grow at night, but in truth weed can take incredible temps

just we hold them to 27c/77f for greater returns

for your location understanding STOMATA is vital ...imo

allowing the plant to breathe free of ash, a foilar spray may help

good luck

ps avoid moss in your soils it holds water hence it hold nutes leading to nute burn

Thanks for the info, I have not added extra perlite and will do that on my current grow.

Yes, I knew there could be problems even in the best conditions with a bunch of hermy seeds. Therefore, now using seeds with better genetics. Swami guy from up north sent me Blue Orca Haze and Cherry Bomb, bc bud depot for Girl Scout Cookies and Headband 707, all regular seeds. Probably move to feminized seeds next round.

I do grow at night and am able to keep temperatures in outdoor shed between 70-85 using intake and exhaust varible fan speeds. Screwed the pooch on venting humidity last time and just can't try growing without air in July and August.

Flowers are just starting to form trichromes, have washed twice but should probably limit due to damaging the little cloudy trichromes, ha ha wishful thinking.

 

[newgrow16]

Harvest tomorrow morning for Headband flower. Runt seedling that I put outside end of July. With microscope trichromes look mostly cloudy, some amber. Some trichromes damaged from ash, or at least looked a little black on the tips. Not able to photograph.

One of the plants stressed from indoor grow that I moved outside. Looks like a couple of more weeks on these flowers.
