2021 Badger Grow!

[BrewersToker]

Hello All!
Initially I wasn't going to grow. But the call was too strong, again. This year I had 6 seeds of Pure Moods, an indica dom strain I found in CO. Planted and 4 seedling have sprouted. So, I'm happy about that!!

Now, just keep em healthy and happy for a couple months.

Stretch time is here. Of the six seeds planted, for sprouted. Of those four, two were female.
As usual, I like to leave a picture of the dirty male organ for any newbies who are trying to figure things out. Pulled this dirty boy out yesterday. Notice how the male is more of a bump (crab claw) than the pre flower.

Glad things are going well.

Fyi those image files you uploaded are huge. Can you downsample those a bit before uploading?

 

[BrewersToker]

It used to be easy to embed the pic into my post. Why can't I do it this grow season? Do I need to paste the photo instead of adding it via the photo dropbox??

You shouldn't have troubles with photos. You're not getting the ATTACH FILES icon in the lower left of your screen or it's not working for you?
It worked OK for me.

I am,and it is still creating a link instead of shoeing my photos! Frustrating!!

There may be a file size limit? Your pics are over 8 MB. Either downsample them and try uploading or set your phone to a lower resolution and take new ones.

 

[BrewersToker]

That could be it. I am using a new phone, and I might have to do just that.

 

[BrewersToker]

That was the issue.

 

[NewEnglandFarmer]

Glad you resolved the issue!

She looks very healthy. A bit smaller than last year's grow? Guess that's due to the late start...

Just curious, what caused you to change your mind about growing? Couldn't bear the thought of going through August/September without the sweet perfume of terpenes wafting through the yard?

Or maybe the stash is getting low!

It is actually 2 females. The front one is smaller. I planted in May, ended up in Yellowstone/Tetons for 3 weeks, so they went unattended for a minute. Also, severe drought here. They have recovered nicely since feeding resumed. Plus, my Jamaican friend behind me moved, so I have to avoid the 7ft trees of the last few years, so these have been topped multiple times.

The itch to grow is way too strong for me. These two girls will save me $$$ for a half a year, and IL dispensaries have a long way to go still.

Tetons are really something. Hope the wildfire smoke wasn't awful. I check the satellite imagery often in my obsessive weather tracking and I've been just dumbfounded at the amount of smoke coming out of the west coast states and Canada. Probably going to get a lot worse in the next couple months.

Sorry about the neighbor issue. I guess it still ain't legal in Wisconsin, is it? Your Legislature sucks, you need to do a citizen's initiative and take it direct to voters. That's what we did in Maine.

I hear you about the dispensaries. I've only ever been in one (Durango Colorado of all places) but I hear the quality sucks and the price is high. Plus who knows what awful crap some ignorant grower might have sprayed on them during flower.

Now it starts to get fun! The smells I'm getting, this early in, are getting me very hyped for harvest down the road.

 

[BrewersToker]

Brown markings? Never overfeed. Buds are still beautiful. Have never seen this before. First time with white widow. Not worried, just curious.

 

[See green]

I think its sunburn, probably from water droplets or somthing similar. Seen a few leaves like that.

 

[NewEnglandFarmer]

Agree that doesn't look systemic--very localized damage. Certainly shouldn't slow the plant down much.

You getting many pale or yellowing leaves down below/inside canopy?

 

[BrewersToker]

Bingo!
Watered them yesterday much earlier than normal, with full sun on them. Kids had soccer. That explains it. Thanks!

 

[BrewersToker]

Starting to get frosty in Wisconsin!

 

[BrewersToker]

Really starting to thicken up nicely. Smell is getting stronger, and the frosting is getting sweeter.
