Dunno about that part but we should probably take this convo to my thread so we don't completely hijack Amy's!

I just used the decarb box yesterday for the first time. Pay very close attention to the oven calibration part. My oven’s built in temperature was way off...

Hey, if it’s related to growing or consuming cannabis... there’s no hijack possible!
The new moon here has landed with heavy rains - which is great because we’ve been very very dry and are only on tank water... so the tanks are filling up. And it’s not great because we’re on satellite internet out here and when it rains... it does not function at all! So I won’t upload any pics till it’s on again and I can use the iPad. Just catching up around the place on my phone in the meantime...
We now return to your regularly scheduled program...

Yes I did a trial run out of boredom and found my oven is off by almost 30degree. So that means I’ve been decarbing around 280 or more!
What’s all this rain talk? I haven’t seen rain in almost a year.Hey, if it’s related to growing or consuming cannabis... there’s no hijack possible!

Update: Blue Dream - Day 80 (+2)
It’s been a busy week. I decided to save my hands the trouble of this particular DIY (even tho I have most of the parts) and purchased a cheap extraction filter on the bay. It’ll work fine for my purposes
So, there I was, wondering who I might rope in to help me hang and attach it and lo’! My usual garden helper (nephew) called me to see about a visit. How perfect
. He is always happy to help and picked up the conduit on his way through town.
During the last (and final) tent upgrade we rehung the light from 4 seperate points, which means it’s easy to drop it flat against one wall and access the ceiling.
Then it was fairly simple and we managed to get it pretty close to the top. My air extraction is now light tight as well
He went home with some Professor Chaos (which he loves) and some CBD Critical Cure... plus we‘ve had a few educational convos lately about auto flowering plants, and how I think they might suit him at the moment. He has to grow stealthy, in the bush, and we can have wet and humid end-of-season weather here too, so many folks get hit by mold. He was keen to try some and have things finish while the weather is still warm and dry... not to mention a bit of a quicker run is good for stealth purposes. So he also went home a very happy man with these.
Then, the day after, I made the intake light tight using the rest of the conduit.
The whole thing has tightened up the airflow (sucking in the tent a little bit) which is great but also means it’s not clearing the humidity as well as before (plus our weather has turned humid), so today I’ll buy some more conduit and add another intake at the other side.
So, the tent fine-tuning is nearly done. It’s light-tight now & I flipped the light schedule on Sunday with the dark moon.
Beautiful Blue had already started to open up a little bit, finally, and has done so more since the flip.
On Sunday evening I was inspecting, and saw something suspicious on a couple of leaves so I plucked them off. The loupe revealed this...
It looks a bit like a thrip, but the leaf damage doesn’t at all resemble thrip damage. Whatever it is, it’s dead now, and I decided another thorough Leaf Wash was is order.
I had to do it Monday as my helper was here and I can’t carry it (it has to go outside for washing!). So here she is catching the breeze while waiting for her spraydown.
The other gardeners arrived at the edge of the forest just as Big Blue landed in the garden
A very thorough and vigorous spray of Leaf Wash with the Solo sprayer and she dripped off a little, while the gardeners did their job.
You couldn’t see it in that other photo but the very youngest one is having a lovely nap between munching grasses...

I was a bit concerned that the leaf wash timing would be off, because I did a destress only a couple of days before. But I had to do this wash when I had the help so it had to happen then. I was therefore relieved and happy to see this the next morning!
And today, we are here
Early Miss continues on her merry way - day 14
there’s some nice genetics in this so I’m really looking forward. A couple of buddies with be growing one or 2 as well.
We had a plumber visit yesterday, no disaster - just replacing some taps and our under sink filters (gee our bank balance misses my DIY capabilities!). But anyway, our plumber is the nicest guy you could hope to know. He’s been our plumber for about 15 years, in all our rentals before we bought this place. He’s also a fellow cannabis lover... and was happily interested to learn about auto flowering plants as well. He went home with this stash of growables. Our sponsors are lookin after me and my friends
I’m rushing off again now - going out to get my eyes tested for new glasses
I’ll check y’all later!!

BD looks terrific and the tent upgrades look great. I'm surprised you don't have more bugs with the time spent sitting in the garden! Good on you for paying those seeds forward. It will come back to you in spades.

Thanks Shed - I’ll never be able to grow all the seeds I’ve won! And I’m curious to see how some of these go that I wont have space to run for a least a year. My buddies can report back. ONe of them has a couple of teh CKS White Widow seeds so I’m curious to see what they’re like as I think i will like white widow as a toke. I have a few WW from Dope Seeds as well. I can’t quite fit one in yet tho, I dont think. I’m still in the throes of deciding the final list for the outdoor summer.
I was wondering when someone was going to mention that
You see, my room pretty much opens straight onto the forest. You can see how close it is in some of teh pics so there’s no buffer zone between me and the outside. I can’t change clothes between inside and out (dressing is one of the hard things anyway so i only get changed when its absolutely imperative)... so the upshot of that is, i’m gonna have pests. I’m used to it from growing outdoors, but inside there isn’t the predator population, so I’m just going to have to keep diligently checking, keep the brix levels up and use the leaf wash during veg - and hope for the best.

I wish that for you my friend. Pity you can’t take 2-3drops of my sleep oil like my partner does - sleeps like a happy baby nowI want to sleep so well all you can see is my ear
Hey looking good AG! You’ve got a beautiful plant on your hands there. Well, your nephews hands too I guess haha
I think you’ll grow her out to the point pests will ignore her and her sexy brix level!!

That’s the idea! Keep the brix up and the pests won’s like it! Yuk! Plus i gave a super blast with the sprayer - into very nook and cranny so hopefully I ridded it of anything that was there.

wonderful of you to share your seeds, what goes around etc. Beautiful bluedream bush you have there. When is early miss scheduled to venture out?

When is early miss scheduled to venture out?
Yes, I was hoping this week. But we’ve had a cold snap, and i’m not up to moving it in & out for the overnight protection. It’s supposed to be able to handle anything above 10ºC and we’re still a bit under that (and a lot under it last night). So it’s going to have to wait a minute.
Hopefully it won’t be long because today was the day for this... and I plan to start them in the tent for a while too so it might get a bit squeezy for a minute
Imbibing some turtle vibes... during a sparky new moon in Scorpio.
They’re going into a pot together so it will only be a single plant ‘footprint’.
These can apparently go over 100 days which will take them to mid January or so, so they’ll get the most possible sunlight hours during the last few weeks of flower - and keep the harvests rolling come march
Looking mighty fine Amy. The brix levels will start to rise as she starts to flower too. I love the ridged leaves after the leaf wash treatment. She looks happy and healthy.
Heya AG, I meant to commend you earlier on your your photos! I especially enjoyed the marsupial show haha! Those guys were totally licking their chops at your plant
Does DDA stand for dark devil auto? That’s one I’ve wanted to try for a hot minute.

Hi Amy, have you grown autos outdoors before? Wondering how they work out.
Got some dirt in the mail yesterday.....
