Green Dave did you get to harvest your ladies?

Ah we did get a good much needed rain yesterday my girls are fatting up nicely. I do have a few sativa strains that are just getting going and prolly will not finish till mid to late October hopefully the frost wont bit them too hard before then. It getting to be crunch time hope all get to harvest there crops before a ripper or LEO get em, Peace.

Why Thank You delsele ,Worring about mold with the rain but you have to try to let it grow out for thick buds

What up guy's? Figured I would check in and see how everyone is doing.
My 9 ladies are coming along nicely. If all goes according to plan I hope to harvest 4 of them in about 2 weeks. The KC Brains have been performing supurbly right from the begining and havent let up sense. I will definately grow KC again. I didn't start hearing negative reviews about them untill after I had already ordered the beans this past winter and I was a little worried how they would perform but after growing them out im impressed! The rest (Pure Power Plant, 8 Miles High, WW and Bubblicious) are all doing well too.
From the looks of things the 4 plants I plan on harvesting soon will be followed by the rest sometime in October.
I will get some pics up.
Good luck Michiganders!

im in the thumb area. we'll be harvesting corn in no less than 2 weeks...probably 3 weeks...the corn is still pretty wet. but i have heard that farmers north and north west of us are harvesting beans...havent heard of ANY farmers gettin into corn yet. would have to have a real short day corn or if it was planted real early to be harvested yet.

its real easy to tell if the corn will be harvested soon, just go grab a couple kernels off a cob or two and bite into them, if they are kinda soft then you got some time...but if they are crunchy AT ALL then they will be harvested very soon. also, if the corn stalks and/or leaves are green at all you have a week at least.

no problem. it would be bad for both of you, the wetter the corn is when harvested the more they have to spend on drying it...and drying aint cheap.

ive never been lucky enough to stumble on some nice big flowering beauties in any of our fields.

Thanks for the heads-up delstele. See how much easier all this pot growing stuff is when you have a few PALS.

Hic -- I'm WAY ahead of you, this isnt my first rodeo, I kno the fine line I ride..tho with out evidence there isnt much they can do, from the words on the street I was ratted as a high level dope dealer which in all honesty never was I grew bud yes, but never anything more than a few #'s this would have been my largest and I would have been giving it away to get rid of it, I plan to stay 100% legal, that was the last run for the extra $ I needed to stay afloat over the winter while work disappears...

and I do plan to ghost it up, I also have put growing on hold for a while...why risk it

Here is an update, in a day or 2 I'll be cutting down a mandala1. I cut the lowest top bud and it almost fills up a 12-oz styrofoam cup. I am pleased with what it looks like and I am real ready to start bringing home the bounty!! The plant I'll be cutting down could go for a bit longer but I'll be damned if I pull outta 2010 without a gram. My girls are doing well, bugs are on some in the morning but nothing too severe.

oh and the lowest top bud I cut this morning weight was 12.2 grams wet. By the time it dries I will have a heavy eigth on that little bud...
If all goes well and I do not get anymore unpleasent surprises, I'll reach the goal easy!. But I already knew that, did'nt I.lol

Good to hear Hic. I feel you on picking your first plant a little early. "A bud in the hand is worth two in the bush". Also once you have some dried bud, it makes it easier to let everything else finish up properly.

I lost my first plant of the year. It got uprooted in that wind storm a couple of weeks ago. I stood it back up and staked it up, but it never recovered. What a waste. At least it was just bagseed, but it was still a big ass plant. Oh well that was the first plant I lost all year, I just hope I get to harvest the rest. I have like 3-5 weeks left on my big plants and will give them as long as the weather and mold permit. I tend to panic when I see rotten buds on my plant and pick them even if they could benefit from two more weeks.

Love the avatar GreenDave!, yea I had 2 tiny spots of what appeared to be mold on the mandala1 I cut today. I am with ya dave I would like 1 more good rain next week sometime and I will be set. Pretty far along now and I would rather water the plant myself than have anymore consecutive days with rain.. well moving on after the wind storm on too possibley the LAST 2 potential problems..mold and theives.
