Reflections from the stalls
Hey 420. Happy Saturday to ya.
Isabelle in the front had just had a foliar feed. I only do this when a plant is still pre-bloom, and really just to use up any leftovers from the veg tent.
It’s a newish routine, the foliar feeds for the vegetaters. It’s a good chance to scout for pests and problems. (And to admire your gorgeous greenery of course!)
Meh! These were only on one, and it’s one I broke the main stem on a week ago. It’s doubled in size and doing well, but I wonder that these little buggers only pick on the weakest. I have no qualms about meeting their mercilessness with all out nuclear warfare. They should take a metaphorical leaf from the fungus gnat book. Learn to coexist more quietly with the host. Adapt or die.
I’m checking the rest of everyone and finding no sign of munching anywhere else. This one is a little hulklato in the back left corner of a photo further down.
The pest alert has given pause to adding one to flower this week. Just to be sure. Another week of veg for the next kush won’t do her any harm.
Here is the bloom room schedule as it is.

So we’ll have a three week break in harvests in October. We should have enough not to worry about stock by then. The perpetual is starting to work now and it is fun to have jars to burp again.
We are not unhappy with that, especially because she wasn’t a big plant. Our twentieth plant harvested. This got jarred after only six days hanging this time. That was partly down to
@Sugarleaf leaving the heater on in the adjoining studio for a sick cat. Normally it has been taking two weeks to dry.
It takes a bit of time in the jar for the hulklato to fully develop.
Meanwhile, I have made more pain oil from the hulklato rosin.
Another good use for well kept trim. (Read the trim link in my signature if you haven’t.. maybe, like me, you’ll be glad you did). The fact I’ve squished an ounce of trim already also helps the humble harvest seem better.
Today I’ve been having that oil as well as dust, capsules, a joint with rosin racing stripes, and bongs as well. (Just to be sure
). I made a bong from an empty turpentine bottle. The other night my wife was having a virtual sesh with a distant friend and occasionally they’d be toasting their well wishes on speaker phone. I was able to assure them I was on the turps. I’m such a crap liar.
Ok. I feel like I have been in limbo not knowing whether this thing is dead or alive. Ever seen a donkey do the limbo? Ridiculous! I’ve been watching this for a week and it did nothing. It wasn’t til she started the prettiest guttation displays that I knew her roots were working.
Turning it this way and that trying to see if those are little leaves starting, found these.
Not feeling such a fumbler now,
@Lewydeville I’m calling this week one for Wedding Cake x Cheap Trick.
That gives us heaps to look forward to from the veg tent. We’ll have to introduce more than one a week to flower when things take off here.
Not counting cuttings or anything without roots this is:
1 wedding cake x cheap trick
1 C99 x blueberry
2 candida
2 CBD
3 Alaskan purple
5 CPK, and
5 hulklato
Thanks for looking in!
Take care of yourselves.
