Really sad the other thread will be deleted at some point.
12 journals in one all tightly packaged in 32 pages for new growers to page through with no noise.
Would be nice if they could somehow leave it. There is no real advertising going on in that thread.
I understand if it has to go it's just going to be sad when it happens.
This has been a fun crew to grow with!

It is really nice how it's not crowded with unnecessary posts and gets straight to the point

@DesertPlants spreadsheet that has links to everyone's posts is gold! You can just go right to the final post(s) for each competitor and see what their idea of a grand finale is. Some really pretty flowers out there.

I think my big mistake was posting most of my best finished flower pics on this page with no numbers. I wasn't keen on keeping up with the weekly thing with plants just drying, but it put me out of that 7-day window to stay alive - so it is what it is.

I just "harvested" my plant. I technically complied with the rules of taking a plant to harvest and will have a dry weight for you guys later. I have buds drying in the dry room now, but uh... there's not much to 'em.

I don't think harvesting was a rule. Competition ends July 19, and whatever you have is your submission. That was my understanding of it.

I mean, if I had a long flowering plant going past the window of the competition, It would probably be pretty epic, and I probably wouldn't chop it early for competitions sake - and in this competition I don't think that would violate any rules.

I think it was just the general idea that showing a finished product would probably up your chances.

Yeah, my plant is a bit of a distance from epic. An ugly mofo that has been tortured into a twisted state of deformity maybe... but not epic. xD I just wanted to take it to the end of the competition as a personal goal. I have many other plants that are nice and healthy going. It's all personal consumption for me, so no point in continuing a plant I don't actually need. I am interested to see what this one smells like once it's cured. It has the most citrus smell I have ever smelled before and I want to see how well that translates to final smell. If it does well, I will be searching for another pheno like this one and trying to breed it in.

I have one (hopefully) last batch that had gnat issues. I caught them early, so they never got bad, but they never went away until the last few days when the nematodes kicked in. A definite investment for next summer's grows. I think better to inoculate the soil at transplant and keep the gnat-killers alive with the microbes. More a preventative than a remedy. They're a little droopy from watering day, but I'm not killing them :)

Day 50 of 12/12 - Skywalker OG on the right is getting close and showing a random amber, the Bruce Banner probably has a month or more left and is still plumping up.

When is the cut off for updates?
7-19-19.

9pm PST?

12pm PST?

I will probably harvest one clone and let the other go a few days.

I'm also going to reveg 2 or 3 plants from seed.
I will cut out the root ball of one of them and put it in a 1 gallon pot.
This won't happen for 2 or 3 weeks.

I drew a line where I plan to cut the branches.

I plan on giving the one I harvest a light wash dipping the branches of buds in 5 gallon buckets of RO then hanging them to dry in a 2'x2'x5' tent.

Plant I'll harvest.

Plant I will reveg and approx. point of cutting the branches.

The pot one of them is going to reveg in.

Here's another random pic. I had 7 monster-crop clones going, but one was slow. I dissected the pot to see how the roots were doing and everything looked good, so I couldn't just kill her - sink-or-swim. About 2 weeks ago I just stuck her in the dirt outside in partial sun, and she's been getting the run-off from feeding her sisters, but no special attention. Since I'm looking at 14-ish hours of sun now, this could get interesting. I think this might also say something about the vigor of the re-vegged clones. I have had 90+ degree temps, storms etc. and she is starting to like it.
