Disaster Struck - No pictures were taken due to the graphic nature of the event.

So, I just went in to feed the veg tent normal day, everything good on that front. Got the water ready for the flower tent, opened the door, and fuck.
My Sundae Float snapped a branch. I would say its about 85% torn from the main stalk. My inner George Clooney kicked on I grabbed a stake and tie up ribbon and gloves and went to work. I tried to tape it on the stalk but its kinda awkward and can't get it tight enough.

I think I am just going to cut it off and have a early sample. So pissed right now.

I know the feeling. Those little fishing lines "yoyos" come in handy when things start to go south quickly. Fairly cheap and compact store them anywhere or even keep em hanging around.

I've always had some trouble with germ rate from Envy ... I'm currently trying to get a pack of Booger Sugar germed and had 2/4 pop .. if anyone's looking for new strains Mass Medical just dropped Putang yesterday... i think they're sold out on Neptune but DC should still have some, I ordered last night and it said 27 packs left ... I've never grown it but the reviews look outstanding

Had to go back and find this. Stealth I am understanding what you meant about the germ rates. I find myself dropping a few extra seeds daily.

I guess you could say things are going okay. Nothing really to update with. This morning when I got home started going to work on the daily care, no more than I start watering the plants in flower, it happened again, a branch on one of the Triple Whammy's. One day they stand tall and proud the next day.............

Anyways here is a picture of the Sundae Float that broke the other day. At the time of injury it was at Day 57 of what I consider flower, Day 64 of actual flip. Has been hanging for 2 days now.



And today's hit the Triple Whammy. Day 60 of what I consider flower, Day 67 of actual flip.



So I got some early testers!

How long are you planning on taking the before full chop?

Shooting for another 1 1/2 weeks.

Look like tasty testers to me man!

Since y'all are jawin on motorcycles...last time I was on two wheels I dumped a Kawasaki klr 650 into a snow bank and ended up breaking my wrist. Always wanted to get another bike but life and kids and just general financial prudence always won out. Reckon I'll scoop up something like a honda 250 when all my goods gone out of me and putter around senile till some texting college gal puts me in the ground.

On the pot front I've started a strain called acid dough and another called sweet afghani delight. Hopefully they'll fare well this summer.

Stay safe out there fellas

Thanks Carl!

Ouch! Like you said it ain't safe. Over the years I thought about getting another, but the idea only lasts an hour or so. Too many people driving with their heads up there ass and I live in a small town and we have some beautiful runs of highways on the outskirts but then you got the fucking deer! I'am sticking with four wheels!

Interesting sounding strains, are you going to start a journal?

Yeah man, it was all my fault, just a dumb kid hangin my ass too far out till I tripped over it. That was back in the late 90's so I reckon I've got enough sense now!

No journal for me. Figure it'd be a lonely place as I don't do anything too groundbreaking. Just two plants in the bush, keep it organic with ROLS and compost teas. I used to post a good bit on grasscity a ways back but unbeknownst to me my phone was synched to wife's work issued laptop and some plant pics air dropped into her photos...scared the shit outta me cause nothing is ever truly deleted; haven't taken a pic of plants since.

Going back to work today at some city dudes hunting cabin. It's actually a really nice timber frame lodge of sorts. Just a quick 8-9 day carpentry job but it's uninhabited and way the fuck in the boonies so it should be fun...can play my music and lunch on the front porch like a king. Beers gonna taste good tonight!

Have a great day

I'll get some pictures up in the morning when the lights are on, just figured I would share whats going on!

Well everyone here is healthy and safe and I am pleased to say that I just completed my first week back at work and am enjoying the night off drinking some beer. Hope everyone who sees this is healthy and safe!

I have sampled the Sundae Float early tester. This morning it was dry and ready to come off the stem. So far I am pleased and can't wait until the finished product is ready.

In the new space I got, I set up a 4x4 tent that will be fitted with a 6 inch Active Air fan and 16x24 Phresh filter. It will be used as a drying chamber for awhile. I got some other things going on in this room as well, I am planning a seed sprouting and a cloning station. So far I bought a 36 site Clone King cloner, and am currently looking into building some LED strip fixtures for this.

and thats about where I am at.

I am not a huge country music fan but have been listening to this for a bit, became a big fan of Sturgill.

Some pictures.

The drying chamber.



Working out details in the new space this is the future site on the cloning/seedling station.



Into the other room.

I got to do that thing....... you know that thing I talked about awhile ago!

If the bandit had a few rows of that triple whammy the trim sesh be over before sundown.

I went looking for that strain a few days back and finding pertinent information on the triple whammy was rare indeed. Looks like you're shooting up with steroids

Well 5 plants are chopped and hung as of 2 hours ago. All that remains are the two Chill Factor, one went crazy with foxtails, but they still got some time. One Sundae Float still has alot of white hairs so I am going to let it sit and jive for a minute.

Also moved 7 plants into the flowering zone so new growth on the way. I will post a few pictures tonight and give some news over the weekend.

I didn't take too many pictures this morning, wasn't thinking about it. Here is what I got.

Sundae Float.



The 2 Triple Whammy's.






Just went and checked on things.

Nice job man! Looks awesome!.. That Triple W. looks beefy!!..Love it!..easy trimmer to boot!

Whats going on everyone? I've been away for a sec I got a little burnt on reading about growing, corona, etc. Just needed to take a mental break for a bit, actually I just went to work and watched Netflix. Also have been looking at cars, thats still a gray area.

On topic, I got everything down trimmed up and curing. Bucked one plant hanging this morning, bucking 2 more in the morning. Bad news is that 2 of the Sundae Float are seeded. From what I have read Cannarado gear is somewhat know to do this, I am running out that gear right now. Right now I got 1 Triple Whammy, 3 Sundae Floats, 3 Fire & Desire in flower just finishing week one.

I will get some pictures up soon as this round the plant structure is looking much better, I learn something every round.

Ya get hermed? Nanners on the top colas?
