It really is gorgeous around here.Were you are now is a lovely part of the country!
I rented a place in the mountains 2 years ago. The Mrs. did fine going up the mountain to the house. However, she had a panicky fit coming back down! Kept grabbing the dashboard and stomping on her imaginary brake pedal.
Sorry I've not posted for a while...been watching the grand daughter and trying to get things done outside before it's too cold to do anything! Gonna make two posts today. This one is to close out the summer grow And later I will update on the two little autos I’ve got going. I harvested Dream Queen a little early do to continuing bud rot but you can’t tell a difference at all in her smoke. Maybe I will do a smoke report later this week…
Pineapple Upside Down Cake really snuck up on me. she was messy and a little slow to start stacking, boy did she ever in the last few weeks of September! I really, really wanted to let her go a couple more weeks but the remnants of Ian scared me so I took her down - and have no regrets! She was born 3 weeks earlier than Dream Queen and went a couple of weeks longer than her. She is dank and stinky and sticky. Love, love, love this weed! I was glad to have a good summer grow. It was much easier with just 2 plants, and with help from you guys I was able to keep the PM and caterpillars at bay.
Congrats Boo, that’s amazing!!
So, I planted my last Purple Lemonade and she came up like a boss. Here we go: Tangie was born on Sept 14th, which makes her 5 weeks old today. She had a lot of roots going on in her cup but not a lot of growth outside of the cup so I up potted her a week ago and gave her PB nutes at full strength for a seedling and she’s had a little burst of growth.
Now for the Purple Lemonade: she was born on 25 September which makes her about 3.5 weeks old. No signs of flower yet. She also had a lot of roots in her cup so I went ahead and up potted her last Wednesday too. I don’t normally run my auto growsThanks GDB! I was exhausted after those harvests.Quite a haul Boo! Congrats.
Thanks Carmen. It was a fairly non eventful summer grow. I liked that!Great stuff Boo... all's well that ends well and you have a bountiful harvest there
Thanks HH! Lots O’ weed in jars here!
Thanks HG! MEEEE Tooo! I finally did it!
Thanks Shed. I was pretty surprised by the 18.5. I thought maybe a pound. No complaints here! The potential for that kind of yield is really the only reason I grow outside in the summer. I think 2 photo plants outdoors will be the norm during the summer for me from now on.Huge hauls off those two even after the rot and the slightly early harvests...especially the 18.5oz off the PUDC.
Two plants suits you just fine for a helicopter-free summer grow! I'm already looking forward to next summer's Virginia seed drop.
At least you have your granddaughter dialed in. 
Sweet harvest Boo! I miss a pineapple flavor in the house! I hope yours is tasty! Those newbies are on their way!Hi all!
5.5 + 5.9= 11.4 Ounces. Not too shabby, especially when you consider how much I cut out of her while she was standing and when I harvested.
6.7 + 6.4 + 5.4 = 18.5 ounces!
Me too….just been a little distracted lately. With the MC there was a little milestone indicator with the sets of leaves. I just totally spaced out and wasn’t paying attention to the age of the little gals. Hopefully I’ve got it back on track!
FYI I totes miss you. But I am happy you’re living your best life. Great work on getting her in jars. The summer grow struggle is real.Hi all!

Omg! Are you meant to top autos once they are in flower?Hi again! Now for an update on the two little autos. If you’ve been watching this thread for the last month you will have seen that I started a Tangie and a C4 auto and both turned out to be little duds. I replanted the same two seeds again and the Tangie came up but the C4 didn’t….
Her color is great.
She’s a puny little thing for being 5 weeks old!No signs of flower yet.Yep, there is a little pistil showing there!
Sauga view - when I zoom in on that pic it looks like there may be a little pistil showing.I need to go back down when the lights are on and have another look at that!There sure is a pistil showing! Need to find my trimmers and take her head off!
Shes got about a 4” wingspan. I’m going to go ahead and see how she plays out - but only because she’s looking healthy and has improved since the up pot and feeding.
this way (I usually wait for signs of flower and then top and up pot) but I just got the feeling I should up pot them both and get them fed really well.
She’s got really nice node separation and I believe my last one also had those large twisty leaves.
She is a little taller than Tangie, and definitely wider.
She’s a gorgeous little plant. I’ve been trying to get the environment in my tent dialed in and have had a warm mist humidifier running in it. It’s been helpful adding a little warmth but I think it has gotten a little salt build up in the tank and needs to be cleaned out because it’s too steamy. Lol. @Virgin Ground suggested a heat mat and also switching my light schedule to run them during the coldest part of the day and that seems to be helping! I think that’s it for the auto post. Thanks for watching my journal!
