ended up losing out on a last minute bidding war for the gogi og pack, i blame the internet connection LOL
F2s? If so, my bud got them, and gave me half. I have one going as a seedling now. My goji leaning Soul Mate inspired me to pop it.

View attachment 5006592Lowers on the Bag of Oranges. I suck with pictures, but it looks pretty frosty in-person. Smell is going more towards rotten orange peels now. Was a really nice kumquat type smell for most of the grow.
That looks so nice. I'm just finishing up BOO outdoors and sure as hell doesn't look that pretty. Now I want to run it indoors so I can pamper it. Love the orange terps. Yours is super frosty.

Bag of Oranges day before chop. Be kind, we went legal July first so they're way behind a real schedule. My first year outdoors and I'm super happy to bring a harvest in. It has done nothing but rain the last week and botrytis has been horrible in my area. The orange zest smell on the more hybrid leaning one is really sharp. The tiny indica leaning one that fell victim to leaf septoria is more like orange soda. Both are very hardy to have made it this far into October with only two small buds lost to caterpillar damage. Thanks Useful for the great genetics, I can't wait to get this dried and cured.View attachment 5005435View attachment 5005436
Yeah, I see the dog hair, it's on everything. The buds are so sticky I'd have to get a clean suit to not have fur all over them. It's a hazard I just accept having a fat old Labrador, your growing styles may vary:bigjoint:. Thanks to all of you that have helped out with my first outdoor grow.
If you're in VA and it's your first outdoor have you had any bud rot issue's? Something is going on with my friends first ODG outdoor grow, where one bud is turning brown.. I mean it hasn't been overly watered and the rain hasn't amounted to much..

4 days later... Still no change... I think she's too heavy and now she's not getting anywhere near the light that she should be... Very disheartened cause I should have never let it get like this, but I was having some mental issues while growing her that took me out of the game and by the time I came back she was what you cee here... I should have figured out a way to tie her back up and left her that way... I think she's stressing TOO MUCH trying to stand back up to get to the light... Anyway, ya'll have a great day!!!

I’m in Va. I took down my “big” outdoor plants (10gal) because bud rot was showing up more frequent and we were supposed to have a week of rain last week. I still have 2 small Soul Mates outdoors. My favorite is looking good, the other is having some WPM issues.

Yeah, caterpillars can get ya and the humidity up here in the mountains has been brutal. I've been running fans the entire grow and I'm pretty good at inspection and I've still lost a few small buds to rot. We've been in the 90 percent humidity range at night for weeks. I have a pop up shelter and six fans for three small plants that I constantly can monitor since they've on my back deck so I'm pretty much in ideal conditions except I don't get great sun exposure. Moths are probably to blame for the rot on your friend plant if it's not getting too wet. They missed a caterpillar egg and it hatched in a bud is my guess. Cutting it all out and spraying with peroxide is the only thing I can recommend before it spreads. I found a small bud this morning on my BOO that had budrot I don't know what caused it but it was really just a popcorn bud I should have trimmed a long time ago. I trimmed it and sprayed the area with straight 3% peroxide and wiped up around it with a sterile cloth. I treat it like a wound. It seems a little bit anal retentive but this stuff seems to like to spread and my BOO is really dense and sticky on day 69 of flower. Hope your buddy gets through okay, I know I'm tired of the inspection/cut/clean routine so I'm looking forward to chop.

This past week was brutal. Tomorrow we are supposed to get sun for three days straight so hope that helps dry your girls out and slow down the PM issue. I had it early in flower and I have seen it on vegetation all around my yard so it's just everywhere. I'm chopping Friday or Saturday and I have been doing a standing trim real heavy the last day or two to get rid of any bud rot or dead leaves and stems. It's so humid that anything not growing rots so fast it's crazy. I lost two more buds this afternoon during a very thorough trim on my hybrid leaner and that should be the end of it after the trim I did and everything I saw, I hope. My indica leaning plant only had one issue and that was a caterpillar I missed down low on a popcorn bud. Hope you get through flower as clean as possible, next year it's super auto's for me.

Good luck to you! I will be doing Autos next year outdoors too. Less time for shit to go wrong. I can choose sativas that will finish before November. And I don’t have to worry about my neighbors streetlight in their driveway.

I'm glad I got the experience, I just don't need it again. Indoors I can control everything so much better. Now I can't wait to run chocolate trip and chem 4 x boo.
As I was going through seed packs tonight I realized I mislabeled the pots at the very beginning of the grow and this whole time I've been growing blueberries and oranges not BOO. So it explains the indica dominant expression plant that is really tiny a lot better. Also the hash plant genetics would make sense with how crazy sticky everything is. The overwhelming smell is oranges still so I'm excited to see how it smokes. I need to check trichomes tomorrow as I've put it off for a bit but the blueberry and boo is a 8-9 week plant and I'm at day 70.

So now that I know I've been growing blueberries and bag of oranges this entire time not BOO, here's a shot of the girls stripped ready for chop. Didn't find any new budrot, just an area of really burnt pistils from some spraying early in flower. Otherwise they look and smell amazing for their size and I can't wait to get them in the drying room. Thanks to Useful Seeds for the amazing genetics that tolerated so much rookie outdoor abuse and came through with a decent harvest considering the short growing season. I can't wait to see her indoors in hydro.IMG_20211013_152812540_MP.jpg

Well said. I'm more than stoked about the idea of a completely legal outdoor grow next year. Virginia, better late than never. The USEFUL FAMILY is always on point.
