Took the White Widow down this morning, day 89ish. Plenty of Amber trichs and too many damaged leaves. This one was much better off than the GC, further affirmation that moving it away from the heat and lowering the light intensity helped stabilize things after the damage had been done. The...

I currently run a 300w light in an 3x3 tent, and in the winter a low wattage heater. Costs are a couple hundred per grow, including soil and seeds. I’ve tried to do the math once, but aside from all the personal pleasure, $175-$250 (random but reasonable estimate) for 1/2 to 3/4 pound is a...

Soil+beans+electricity

Just sat through many hours of our local town meeting, a Vermont tradition. Yawn.

Busy week ahead and I decided to take down the Gorilla Cookie that’s been limping along. The plant’s been suffering from failures I’ll attribute to user error. She hasn’t had anything but sugar leaves powering the process on the colas for some time, and the colas themselves seem to have stalled...

That’s funny. My first auto harvest was a mess. 50% success rate (if you can call it that). But that harvest plus an outdoor plant kept me out of the dispo for the months it took to get the second harvest slightly better. Pulled 3/4lb from four autos in my last go. A success. This round, a step...

Is it his first dispo visit? I found Colo dispos to be…just like they are in most places - fast and pretty friendly. Honestly, compared to folk from the NE, where I’m from, people in CO are super friendly all around. Most importantly, no need for paranoia at all. That can be hard to get used to, lol

Shoot. Now that song is in my head for the rest of the day. I do love Toots and the Maytal’s reggae version of Country Road though.

Happy Monday. Slept till 5:30 this morning - a true and welcome rarity. Have a great week, y’all. Got some harvesting and some gigs coming on top of work in the next few days. Stuff to look forward to!

I’ve definitely had different plants act different ways (especially with autos, whose traits are not as stable) including some that didn’t frost up until later in the grow. I wouldn’t ditch this plant yet, that’s all. No promises about whats to come.

Just took my first taste of a CDLC bud that I accidentally lopped off while trimming the first plant. Only four days in a paper bag (with the sugar leaves) but great flavor, nice high. Makes me think the other is probably about where I like it also. I’ll take a closer look later. We’re now...

Looks like it’s coming along nicely for a young plant. A couple things: you don’t “see” thc. Your plant is too young to be developing many trichomes yet. They’ll come as things advance. Barney’s generally makes a good, stable product. Up to you, but I’d keep her going. You will only know thc...

Morning, everyone. Happy Sunday, at least for those in similar time zones. The old man is coming over today. We’ll see if he asks about brownies. I’m not going to bring it up. Though my house is a little stinky right now with ripe and drying weed. Might work subliminally to urge him on? Enjoy...

Day 83 or so. Here’s one of the CDLC buds on the remaining plant from that pack. First plant drying. The broken Gorilla Cookie can come down anytime, White widow has a bit longer to go. I’ll take pics of those when I chop. Maybe. Got some fade going, but the plant is nearing the end and the buds...

I used two drops on my first round and one drop after that (per gallon, every other watering, or once a week) for about three weeks and they were gone. They can always return of course, but mine didn’t this time. They were in all the house plants also. Pretty common.

I’ve never heard anything good about having fungus gnats. As mentioned above, a few rounds of bmc micro lift will eliminate them. Worked for me last two grows.

Thinking it’s a good day for Dune II.

Morning. Crummy weather coming, but it’s the weekend!

Switching times has negative sleep and health implications also. Messes with me every time and I’m already on shaky ground with sleep at times.

Plenty of great music from the 80s, 90s and 2000s on. Just gotta listen to the right stuff. Some of the Americana coming in recent years has been amazing. Mid to late 70s and early 80s are weak points for me in the metaphoric composition.
