Had to leave town for a week and leave my girlfriend in charge of watering. She hates it and has already told me she's never doing it again Thoughts and prayers appreciated.

check out the sip(sub irrigated planter) thread and have a large reservoir. wont help with this current round but you could convert on the next one. I have heard others reccomend a DTW system with timers and again a large reservoir to cover for a extended time. My better half is not a huge fan either and I travel for work so I have been doing homework on these methods and plan to go the sip route next round

Super busy day today, all Useful related. I harvested my DDS at 92 days, she was the smelliest plant I had going this time, overpowered everything in the tent and after I cut her down and put her upstairs in the dry room, the smell lingered downstairs for awhile. She smells great, sweet/sour fruity smell with a strong chemical smell that reminds me a permanent markers. I put a Dogwalker OG x Chocolate Diesel into the flower tent to take up the space where the DDS was. Then broke down my 2x2 and 3x3 tents, swapped what rooms they are in so I can test out this SF-2000 flowering out a Chem D x Banana OG in the 3x3, I'm already able to run the light harder due to the room I put it in being colder. Slapped a trellis net in the 3x3 and started training the Chem D x Banana OG to fill it and took a tray full of cuts.


Foxtails galore, I think its a mix of genetics and maybe getting too close to my light but a lot of time when I get sour diesel it has this lumpy foxtail structure as well. I picked off some nuts at the start of flower and didn't notice anymore but I did notice a male flower when I was taking her down, however I already harvested and trimmed 3 other plants from the same tent and no seeds so I guess its sterile.

Hola Useful fam, I am new around these parts. Just got my system back up after being down for a bit because of family health issues. I am planning on an open pollination but can't decide which to choose. Would love input from anyone willing to help. The results will be "useful" for sure! ( Never posted a pic here before, hope I did it correctly)

I'd be on the chocolate trip x Christmas tree bud, he spoke very highly of Christmas tree bud.

On the left is a chocolate diesel s1 from useful, the right is a romulan, which is a couple weeks ahead of the CD in flower. Heres a close up of the CD I'll try to upload harvest day pics, sorry I know early flower is not the most interesting. 20210715_201033.jpg

Strawberries n cream Diesel testers…
#1 biggest by far, mute smells compared to the others. yellowed out on me while in the 4x4, I think she is just hangry. D839229E-944F-4F0B-950C-30A7E0EAA69E.jpegF28FCCC1-6EC0-4BA5-8542-9208D3CD560E.jpeg
#2 Watching this one, sweet strawberries on the nose. She has the rounder bud appearance real similar to mimosa. Hoping she cures out just how she is now. 25F9CD20-44A7-43F2-AB8D-B4025F7FCE7C.jpeg
#2 on the left and #4 on the right

#3 is sticky to the touch, dense and a partial strawberry smell coming through.6ACB094C-CD8E-4F63-AD00-69C377F63FBA.jpeg
#4 skinnier lighter buds than the others, putting off strong Choc Diesel aroma since the beginning of flower. Looks like she will be a longer flowerer than the others.861722CE-BDDD-484F-B4D2-A404DDA60945.jpeg

I have Franco's breeder cut of Super Lemon Haze. I haven't used it yet, looking for the right combination. I may put her in with the Sweet Tooth #3 preservation. Also thinking about putting one in with the Woodhorse Herijuana preservation as well. Herijuana is a potent smoke but kinda bland on the taste and scent. So my thinking is that the males will just pass added potency.
I have a couple Herijuana x blueberry Indica (Bodhi clone) that just went into 12/12 yesterday. I know nothing about these, let's hope they are worthwhile to run again.

I trimmed the DDS today after hanging for 5 days and I'm very happy with how this plant came out. Gorgeous buds, great trichome production and a great nose, this was the best plant out of my last harvest which was a mix of Bodhi, Useful and Dynasty strains. Buds have another 3-5 days of drying and then into the jars to cure. I was having a hard time capturing the color on these buds so I tried some pictures with different lighting.

Looks amazing! Did I read that right that you let her go over 13 weeks in flower (92 days)?

Yea 92 days of 12/12, she probably could have come down around 80 depending on the high you're looking for. It just seemed to want to keep throwing foxtails which I viewed as more swelling and I'm trying to get over the bad habit of cutting before they're fully ripe. I couldn't help myself and tried a little snapper of it last night, not the best idea, very strong sativa high and I was up way too late lol.

I'm just getting into photography and admittedly suck. The lighting in those pictures is making it look way darker than it actually is, some of the buds have a slight purple hue to them in person and I can't get it to show up very well in my pics.

These are more accurate to how it looks in person.20210720_121510.jpg

My Useful outdoor garden is doing very well so far . I have four Chocolate Diesels and five Lucky Limes. Started out with five LL’s, but one male had to be eliminated. The two LL’s in bags are not doing as well as the in-ground plants and I’m not sure why, other than maybe the constant over 100 degree days are cooking the roots. Can’t wait for Mother Nature to flip the switch and get these girls flowering.

Uncle Useful is going through a pretty rough patch at the moment but will be alright.

All love and positive vibes are welcome.

Thank you for the update. I've never met the man but he certainly comes off as what I like to call good people and over the last few weeks I found myself hoping everything was alright on his end since it had been a while on here so I am glad to hear it is a temporary dark cloud that will pass. Plenty of love, positive vibes, and prayers his way.

Come to think of it, this is true for most of the regulars on this thread. Hopefully soon I will be able to contribute some useful grow photos as the house is now off the market and garden prep has begun. Found a local(ish) garden center that sells BAS so I am waiting on their shipment to arrive this week
