Those outdoor plants look amazing!

Looking good carcass! Despite mostly grey sunlight. Indoor is looking fab too - what size is your indoor DIY cab?
not a small feat at all, without feeds!
Guess what my nightmare is gonna be about tonight.
glad to be of service to your cultural educationI shouldn't have wikipedia'd vagina dentata - yipes!... now I'm gonna have nightmares too...
yes... gauging the situation by aircraft movement is what it comes down to sometimes!
not a small feat at all, without feeds!High HayStack - During our recent apocalyptic summer here in Australia, the smoke from the fires made it snow brown snow on the New Zealand Alps - and there was amazing images of the smoke plume(s) ’travelling’ around the globe. There was pollution on the other side of the planet from it - a testament to the scale of what is happneing
favourable winds... may they continue!
Thanks Amy!! It was a great feeling... all she ever wanted to do when she was in my arms is scream and cry for mom. It’s slowly coming around. Before I could only hold her facing out, now she’s getting better and allowing me to hold her while she faces me for longer periods.
this second baby of ours has been such a different experience then our first. Our first was formula fed and for the first 9 months I was the only one that could get her to go down for a nap. During the nights she was most comfortable being in my arms over moms... it made waking up for work very difficult Lol
Our first is by far a lil daddy’s girl!!

Thanks for the kind words, Hutch!
Thanks, Amy! That indoor one is going to push the height limit in the box, in fact, I hope she's about done stretching-she's in a 24"x24"x44"space (Home Depot wardrobe box)and she's about 13" from the light already...4 more inches, and she's "too effing close"....
Our little Nova also insists on facing out when I carry her- keeps the spit up off my neck and shoulder, so it's not a bad thing...
I've been pretty busy for the last week with family stuff- @13goody13 ,and his three brothers, sister, and the grandkids were all together in the same spot (my house) for the first time in a year or so- It was pretty cool!
They all get along great, so it made for a real enjoyable time
So, now that I'm back, it's time for a little update!
We'll start (as usual) with the indoor girl- she's a Wedding cheesecake auto, 48 days old,flowering for 18 days, growing like a weed....(glad I didn't try and grow 2 in there)
The SaugaView®:
She's only about 16 inches tall, but the limit is around 20", so hopefully she'll only stretch for 4 or 5 more days: (@13goody13 says she's a light feeder so she's still on 4.5g/gal. of MegaCrop...and loving it...)
So on to the outside ladies- First up is the Dr.S.cbd- 99 days old now, flowering for 49 days.- I've been battling Powdery Mildew on this one for a month (and I'm getting tired of it) so she'll get the chop tomorrow...she's actually already got more amber than I wanted, but I've been too busy to harvest her any sooner.(she's gonna be a real chore to trim)
All 4 of the outdoor girls needed water badly today, so it's a real stink-fest out there
Here's one of her buds- not real fat, but there's quite a few of them...
Her doublewide bud is a little wider than it was a week ago...It looks cool , but really, there's not a lot of smoke there- just a lot of leaves...
On to the ChemDog#4- this one is getting fat and heavy, and I think she's got about 2 weeks to go...
Found (and squished) a couple of big green caterpillars on her- they ate a few leaves, but didn't damage any buds. She's 121 days old, flowering for 55 days...still 36" tall
Here's a view of her from the other side- looks like I've got a little staking up to do...
One of her buds- this one's about 14" long...
And then there's the 2 Dr.S. clones-48 days since rooting, flowering for apx. 25 days...
The topped one (right) is about 4" shorter than the untopped one, but she's got about 25% more buddage than the taller one...
These both also have PM problems, but not as bad as mom
One of their little buds:
So that's about it for today!
I'll post up some pics of tomorrow's Dr.S. harvest-probably later on in the day, because she's going to take quite awhile to trim...
I should be around more now that the family event is over- I know I missed a lot of stuff being off for a week, but I'll do my best to get caught back up!
Thanks for looking, I really appreciate the support!
Stay safe out there!..
Hi Carcass! Everything is looking beautiful over there. You’ve got several big harvests in the weeks to come!

Thanks, Boo! ...Yeah,I'm used to trimming up my little indoor plants...these outside ladies are going to give my trimming shears a real workout!
At least there'll be a few weeks between harvests...but either way,I'll be good and sick of trimming when they're all done...Actually, I'm sick of it already, and I don't even start till tomorrow....

Yes they are!
With both of my outdoor grows this year I trimmed them pretty tightly the day before I planned to harvest because I knew/felt I couldn’t get thru the whole harvest in one day. Boy was I happy I did that! It allowed me to trim at will and let everything just fall to the ground to rake up later since I did not save the leaves. I still needed to do a little trimming but nothing like I would have been stuck with all at once. Enjoy!
Looking great carcass! Should oof had a trim party when the kids were there.
So nice to see the sun out and the sharp shadows on the ground up there! Must be a lot easier to breathe as well. I bet the family had a great time together for a week.
Plants look great though I'm sorry to hear about the PM. Have you tried the citric acid spray I've been using? 13g13 is having success with it as well.
And it's a damn good thing there's only one plant in the box! That WCa really gets to spread its wings.
But the salve box...

But the salve box...
It was Big Momma Cindy and her leaves were disgusting - gave me the itchies the whole time - and I was grateful that it was cool out so long pants and sleeves were appropriate! I have saved a lot though. Think I have enough for a batch of salve yet?
Yes! But those stems will take a long time to dry. I would chop them into 1" pieces while you watch TV. They will dry a lot faster and absorb the oil a lot faster when you put everything in the crock pot as well. I'm considering buying one of those electric wood chippers for mine!
Don't forget the roots...
My brother and his partner have one of those and they love it. Deals with all the smaller woody prunings splendidly so it’d be perfect!
a telling testament to the environment and guidance you provided for sure!They all get along great, so it made for a real enjoyable time
Doh! Was gonna try and sneak by without them. I will work on it - gonna let them dry out a little more first (?).
I break up the rootball over a tarp and shake and bang out as much dirt as I can. Then I give it a good spray with a hose to get rid of the rest. Then I let it dry. When it is, I cut it into pieces with a scissors over the bin.

I'm glad you mentioned that- mine will get that treatment this evening after the sun goes down- I probably should have done it a month ago to help with the PM!
I thought of that, but then the 4 year old granddaughter would want to help, and there'd be sooo many questions...
I've just been using a weak vinegar solution, which seems to work alright if you stay at it, but I kind of slacked off for the last 3 or 4 days...I may try the citric acid on the 2 clones, since they're going to be around for awhile...
I've got 3 or 4 bags of trimmins that I need to do something with. One of these days.....
If I start a salve bin, I'll probably just use the leaves...
20-30 years ago, when they were growing up, I didn't really set a very good example- But it did teach them what NOT to do...
(I think I'm much better now that alcohol and I have parted ways)Those bigger roots get pretty tough when they dry out- mine usually just get tossed into the greenwaste...
Now it's starting to sound a lot like work!
It's definitely work! But the results...
Imagine not need to scratch a mosquito bite for 12 hours.

If it'll work for flea bites, I may have to start making some salve...
My cat sleeps outside all day, and brings fresh fleas in with him just about every evening...

I'll send you some to try out!
I want to make it for bug bites as well!
It works great for any skin ailments. I knew someone who started getting hives from the elastic in her yoga pants waistband. Apply salve...gone! It's like a miracle treatment. It takes longer to work then Benadryl spray, but lasts 4x as long.
Good present for your friends and family and easily raises a bit of cash now and then.
