They've been showering all day today.

There's somekind weird damage going on, this is the third time I've seen this this the first 2 being on the left plant and this time it's on the right plant.
Damaged Aug 21 2734.JPG


I'm also dealing with mold and or PM issues I've been spraying alcohol & water but I don't think that's gonna cut it. We tried to order some sulfur pellets yesterday - won't ship to my location... I'll have to look to see if I can find a source for that or work on airflow in the shed or both.

I know nothing about growing in dirt to be honest, I've been feeding them my runoff all summer. Once I flipped them to bloom I've given them 5g/gal mega crop twice then yesterday they got water with 1tblsp/gal of Epsom salt. I think I'll dig up some old Emerald Harvest bloom nutes I've somewhere for the next feeding in 3 or 4 days more or less.

Variety unknown (they are from seed though) dirt unknown other than from the hardware store with some horse manure on top. They weren't my plants to begin with but the neighbor has been helping his father on the farm all summer so I've been tending them.

Take care
Hey Bob, some of your problems might be from light deping with the shed. It needs a vent fan and a dehumidifier to for keeping things in check. Just a thought.
 
will be baked late tonight or tomorrow ..

 
Hey my tribe, I hope all is going well for you, I've been following along when I've had internet acess, Good job all of you DD, Oddie, PD, Chungo and all your plants look fabulous. The fire evacuation alerts and orders are now rescinded in our area and I'm back home. It was touch and go for a while, but the fires have abated, my house didn't burn, and our lives in this community are getting back to normal, still I feel bad for the people who lost their homes, and farms near me. This is the new normal. I didn't know what would happen with my plants, but when I checked them I saw them still alive and thriving, and 4 of 6 were in flower.

All are progressing and three are well over 10 feet tall and quite noticeable if you look in their direction. Four are flowering; two seem to be going well (the Zamaldelica X (Durban Poison x Big Freeze), and the Purple Satellite (a cross of Oaxaca '79 and Nepalese Baglung) are starting to come on real fast now. My power Plant is only a few weeks in flower, and the Nepal Jam is just starting, but my New Caledonia and Bangi Haze aren't flowering yet (too bad I had high hopes) so I plan to use them for Canna butter if nothing else. They all look like classic sativas which I favour and their aromas differ from earthy (Power Plant) to lemony-cedar - (Zamaldelica X (Durban Poison x Big Freeze)), the Oaxaca- Baglung cross has a real Mexican fragrance- flowery and delicious from the old 70s pot.

What have I learned: If I am going to grow classic sativas I need to grow them in pots if they have real long flowering times so I can bring them inside to finish off, a tecnique I used to grow Golden Dragon (Old time Thai x Malawi) and Zamal succesfully. It works but yields less, however the high is unlike any commercial pot you can find. Also, some crosses I've made in the past with Sinai mature faster and can finish off in a reasonable time span. So in summation this year was unlike any other year I can remember, we had over 46 Celcius or 115 degrees Fahrenheit at times, drought and heavy smoke were factors, and I'm still unsure about growing next year if the climate continues to get hotter here in Southern BC.

This year was a experiment for me with some free seeds to see what I need to do with a outdoor grow that was brought in to finish flowering. I was doing this in hopes of doing a split grow so that I could bring in a couple of plants early say June to flower and finish and then in Sept bring in a couple more plants to replacement the Indica's with a Sativa variety to finish.
What I learned: As I have been looking at a host of Sativa varieties with a long flower time I would pair them with a quick flowering Indica variety which would be brought in to flower in June to finish first and on completion of their flowering I would bring in the Sativa's in Sept to finish. Also the plant I had outside grew very strongly in 5 gallon pots and even now in flower looks like it will need very min support to hold the buds up at 4 weeks and are manageable in the grow box. The Sativa's will be a challenge to limit their growth and stretch during flower but heavy trimming/manafolding I think maybe can accomplish this for the Sativa's. ....just my thoughts for next year.
 
Keep the harvest coming! I was following the weather out west. Wicked just about sums it up. There's the problem i have Zam ....... the buzz. I have seed for those big lanky slow to flower plants. Problem is when I reel them in with early stuff the narcolepsy thing starts creeping in. I've had moderate success in the past by airlayering limbs in the fall and just taking that indoors. It can keep the size down and still preserves the age of the plant.
 
Hey Oddie good to hear from you. Yes the weather here is indeed wicked, like being in the centre off hell itself. For the first time in 30 years I'm contemplating moving back to NS or to coastal BC, it's getting that f#$%'ed up here...It's interesting how Sativas effect people differently. I'm interested in what you mean by "airlayering" I'm always looking for new techniques...Personally I find pure sativas much more psychologically active, they tend to be more like classic hallucinogens. I don't sleep much when smoked or vaped, but when eaten they are a bit more dreamy and I can sleep later on in the high.

On the other hand indica dominate plants just couch lock me for the most part, great for pairing with a beer if you just want to avoid doing much, but for me not as creative and as a song-writer they don't work as well as sativas for coming up with new melodies and lyrics, but each to their own, I just prefer pure sativas which are commercially unavailable, so I grow them myself, definitely a labour of love..... I especially like Chungo's cob pics, man those look great! Good work Chungo! I had some from Malawi in the eighties when I lived in southern Africa, Chungo have you noticed how it It really changes the high, much more intense. For those that have never heard of cobbing Tangwena's thread is excellent for describing the process and how it changes regular pot.

I still have two left from three years ago that I will age like fine wine for future years. Adios amigos!

This is only my second bunch of cobs. I unpacked a small piece after a month and have smoked it a couple of times with a couple observations. It is defiantly a milder smoke and the high is appears stronger however ea. of my cobs was made up of approx. 28 grams of 3 day dried buds so though they are smallish they are very compacted material so when grinding it up it expands a lot but still very concentrated material when smoked. So the amount smoked in a joint is probably a lot more than I usually roll of cured pot. I also seem to only smoke 1/2 a joint of the Cob at a time as it seems to hit me pretty quick and strong. I have read that you can use it like chewing tobacco so I tried a small piece but the taste is not to my liking so it was spit out. This variety I used this time was some sort of a Indica and looking forward to trying one of ACE seeds Saliva's next spring. I have another variety getting finished under lights now and it looks not bad but I haven't decided if I will turn it into Cobs or not yet.....
