Sometime.
I took a clone of the good looking NW and the stinky SJ.

Nice, I just got a bunch of stuff that I need to run through so it's going to be a while until I visit these again... until I run out of the coffee stuff.

Mornin'!
My 4 little competition plants are a month from harvest today. (-ish)
I chopped one-a-day 8-11th last month
I have already been enjoying it, but on the one month anniversary I usually give stuff a good trimming and I really start digging in to it. I hate messing with stems, so they are gone except for the tops.
I ended up with about 2 zips of prime 'smoking-tops' (middle two) and I kept the Dyna-gro separate.
There's 4oz left of the mid-size nugs (right)
And the tiny stuff that would fit through a 1/2" grid is on the left, some decarbed already, the rest destined for it.
And for the smoke report, I am firing up a cone as I type.
Smells sweet coming out of the doob-tube,
It's smooth, with a hint of coffee. Nevermind, I'm drinking coffee
NO, there are no precisely developed terpenes or crazy smells, it's just good smoke. Just based on experience with this strain I'd guess it on the lower end of the skunk THC spectrum (18%-23% for this breed per mfg) probably because of the issues keeping the trichomes from really popping compared to other similar plants.
In general, I'm happy as a pig in shit. I won! (whether I get votes or not
)

If you read the fine print in the rules you would already know the answer.
** Plants harvested before July 1st will be disqualified.
If plants are not harvested by July 19th a one time 30 day extension will be offered to each player and voting will be 2 weeks after the last person finishes.

There have been several iterations of the rules as the contest has progressed. Which version is the most recent? I know that we are each supposed to get a vote to @Dyna-Gro and that the results will be made public afterwards. That said, even your signature block has a rule change apparently. So I don't even get to vote because I harvested in June? Or you still want my vote, but I'm now disqualified? Or is that for some other competition? See what I mean?
So - as the date for voting approaches I think that a reiteration of THAT portion of the rules as it stands NOW is appropriate.
But you be you

I wonder if others took that as serious or as a joke!
I vote joke but lol maybe I'm wrong.
Me. I'll leave all the serious stuff to The Big Perm and DG.
They can answer those questions.
On a serious note I'm the one that should be crying not you.
The real small print. I forget what page it was added but it was before the comp started.
I'll do a copy and paste from my Note Pad where it resides on my computer.
** Players who do not harvest by July 19th are disqualified and lose the right to vote. Sorry! No exceptions!

Sorry - it came off as not funny. I was careful not to snipe at you just in case.

I can be serious about growing but about the comp, if you knew me you would know I'm not interested in votes or the outcome, I play to up my game and improve my grow and judge my grow against what I see. I'm my greatest critic so I'm a good choice to judge my own grow. If I win it would no longer be fun playing and I haven't even played my two Aces in the hole yet in a comp. A stable supply of fresh EWC and solid genetics.
If you notice I only tease players when early deficiencies 1st show up in veg after that I lose interest in teasing because the game gets boring after the 1st deficiencies, and of course the 1st toxicities show up.
I apologize for calling players names like Mr. Chlorosis or Mr. Necrotic Spots early on. That was not cool, although I can't even remember who those players were.
I do have a serious question about senescence in leaves to ask you.
Some say it is a natural occurrence in cannabis, some think it is not.
67 days 12/12.
11 days water only.
By the time I reach 25 days of water only (seeds) will those leaves pictured below still be there and be green or be gone after turning yellow and dropping off?
Where do you stand on senescence in cannabis leaves?
Pics taken today of a clones crystal and the leaves of one of the seedlings.

LOL Kush where are you pulling those rules from.
Do I really have to go look for the voting rules?
In a nutshell, and it is in here somewhere. Voters submit their vote for the winner. Voters have one week after comp end to get their votes in. You can't vote for yourself. Don't vote and you are out. I'll take it from there.
The pot though, if you guys could agree on the system for who gets what, that would be cool. It's up to the remaining players to decide who gets what. I don't care on how, as long as you all agree. lol

Anyone who thinks senescence is not a "Natural Occurrence" needs to listen to "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas
Senescence is inevitable. Cannabis is an annual plant in its native climate(s). When senescence takes place in a plant can vary from strain to strain and from plant to plant and is directly affected by its environment.
Will your plants start dropping their leaves in another 14 days of feeding it just water? Depends on the average flowering time of the plant. But, The plant will most certainly suffer from senescence before it reaches the end of its life.

I take it that means we message you with the votes?
*Takes a hit* I just saw my signature block - seeds dropped 7/8, but the parenthesis turns the 8 into a
LOL I think I'll leave it.

This last tray of comp plants was the first time I backed off feeding last couple weeks. Topped res with h2o only. This was the first tray to show senescence.
All other trays were green and hardy till the end. This is is last time I will back off feed.

Wait until you try it. You're not smoking the leaves - green yellow or gone.
My understanding is that by backing off your feed you make it draw nutes from the leaves and stems and produces a cleaner smoke - but causes the leaves yellow and drop. Standing by for @homebrewer to correct me, so I should have just said some weird shit and let him answer.

What if I reveg those plants and flower them a 2nd time while retaining those leaves.
Can those leaves remain healthy throughout a 2nd flowering?
IDK but I have a feeling I can retain them through two grows.
Might reveg a couple or might try it another time. I'm thinking of taking a break after the CBD plants are done.
Until then.
Carry on my wayward son!
