    Serious 6 + red hot cookies been in flower all July.. I know the S6 is a September finisher but the RHC is from sweetseeds that specializes in autos (I think this is one of their only fems) but im not so convinced the auto trait isnt there. Would have been nice to get them a little bigger but...

    blood meal for N deficiency?

    I use DTE blood meal in my mixes and get good results and I like this stuff. Never thought about making a tea with it but it is a faster releasing source of N than the other amendments I have. I've been messing around with getting the ratios down. Last indoor run I used COM stonington for veg...

    What is this Bug?

    Typically topping is reserved for veg, Ive heard of people supercropping up until a few weeks of flower... those plants will finish but topping at that point is just detrimental to your final yields

    Finally all outside, surprised me how well they did during the heatwave since it was like a day after I put them out. Been loading them up with silica lol Couldn't find a long term solution for the termites so they have to be propped up on bricks.. sucks to lose the extra root space when they...

    Honestly a miracle I even got anything, most of the stalks completely hollowed out from the termites and lower branches literally just popped off. Amazing how much damage they can take and still live. Ironically the only plant that didnt get touched was the one that had borers :? what a shit...

    How long to burp and open jars ?

    100% agreed, in total I have 12 of the small hygros and one larger one (accurite) and they all give different readings. The smaller ones within 5% of eachother, and 2-5% lower than what the actual reading should be. But the larger one I use to see RH in the dry room was 12-15% lower than actual...

    Yep! Then press into live rosin. Was my "official" first time messing with bubble this season, made it after my first harvest several years ago with a buddy but it was more my buddy doing the work lol. I've done two test batches so far with dry flower, terrible yields as expected for the first...

    Likewise, havent been here much! Just finished harvesting the last batch a few days ago. Trimming forever lol. Lost a big girl and a smaller one at the end to mother nature tax. Even with the -2 plants still averaged about 1lb/plant and more than half went for fresh frozen. Next year got the OK...

    Should I just throw this out?

    I would certainly just scrap it and try again next time you can. All those pics looks moldy, dead and rotten. You COULD go through the process of heat treating the mold and making edibles, but I'd only recommend it if you are desperate desperate..

    How long to burp and open jars ?

    One thing to note too is to make sure you calibrate your hygrometers. Fill up a bottle cap with salt (about 1 teaspoon) and a few drops of water on the salt to make it damp but not soaking. Place both the hygrometer and cap into a little ziploc or sandwich bag and leave for 6-8 hours. The...

    Some pics of the last girls standing, definitely going to be harvesting into the first week of November. PM is pretty much nonexistent and im barely even seeing rot, just brown spots from cat damage but not spreading or seeing whispy white mold on the damaged areas so im not too worried about...

    What Michi-can said - also squish whatever you can see. Definitely should wash the buds to get rid of a lot at harvest, but speaking from experience you'll most likely see them on/in the buds after drying. I didnt have too large of an aphid presence but I made sure to carefully look inside the...

    2.5/12 plants down. Temps between 62-68 and RH 50-60. Fluctuation between those numbers that I wish I could get steady but it seems thats the best I can do. First plant was pulled 1 week tomorrow, the smaller stuff gonna be trimmed for curing in an hour or two after I cut out the rot in the...

    I paid my wife's friend with weed to help and she sends us this pic...

    h2o2 wash will neutralize fungal spores (wont was away rot already growing) and rinse off contaminates. Spider webs are tough because they're sticky, and since its on the inside of the bud makes it hard to get rid of in the wash. From what I understand spider webbing is pretty sterile, she could...

    Thank you for the knowledge drop, good stuff! Honestly before you mentioned it, I wouldnt have much of a clue where to start. Termites arent a really widely known cannabis pest from what Ive seen (I was skeptical at first) but they are definitely no joke. Yeah man, went down the rabbit hole as...
