So I got heat issues, man. We're having the best summer evar but it's done serious damage to Widows & Blue Cheese. It's been near and over 80 all week long, the longest hot stretch on record for Alaska, and I don't own an air conditioner so the closet temps are around 100 if I leave the door closed. Even with it open, it's around 90 by the lights and over 80 in the room. I work in here all day, I tell you it's been effing hot, even with fans.
I've chopped one Widow and will be doing the other today. I forgot to get a pic before I chopped the first one, but there's one of the 2nd below. Sad and pathetic, it is.
Blue Cheese needs to come down, hopefully I can get it done today too. It's just as burnt and crispy on the edges as the Widows with a teeny tiny yield. I'm really disappointed with those two plants. Oh well, blue cheese knocks my ass out anyway. It's best smoked for insomnia so I don't need much.
The bag seed however is doing great. This may be the strain I have to stick to if I can't resolve the heat problems. The buds are decent sized, it tolerated the heat well but it slower to mature and gets really tall. I do know it's good bud though, since it's the same bud I buy. And I have another dozen or so seeds that I've found, so that's cool. I'll just have to do some LST next time. These two probably have another 2 weeks before they're ready to chop.
I've got clones started from the widows and blue cheese vegging in the nursery closet now. They're pretty sad looking with some burnt tips from when I accidentally gave them nuted water, but they recovered and are growing. I also started 4 more bag seeds and will be starting a grow journal for them. I'm only keeping 4 this time because of space & circulation issues. 6 is just too many for my closet.
So, pictures below. I'll post another after I get all this chopped and hung. I don't anticipate too much more than an ounce dry from the widows and blue cheese combined. I dunno, maybe I'll be surprised. But I doubt it.
