Hello grow consortium!
I've got a lot on my plate today, but I'll be trying to provide updates on all of my autos.
I'll begin with my problem child. (I should say my 2nd problem child. The first, my small Stardawg, was tossed a while back.)
Another disappointing Californian Snow is the remaining problem. I was checking her trichs a few days back because I believed she was close to done. I was shocked by what I saw under the microscopic lens. Bugs! Tons of little red Spider Mites crawling among the flowers.
I immediately took her out of the tent and gave her a nook and cranny spray with Neem Oil, covering every area of the plant. I then put her on the back porch where she would be in the dark or in the shadows for the short remainder of her life.
That was 2 days ago. Today, I've set up a set of buckets for bud-washing. I'll be taking the plant down and washing her shortly.
I messed up with this plant at the outset, giving her a bit too much water at an early age. She recovered, but as a result, her growth was stunted. She didn't produce much but her few buds are rock-hard and sticky (hopefully not from spider mite semen
.) I know from past experience that her smoke will be on point (though I'm not sure I'll smoke any).
Que sera, sera.
The last time I grew this strain, I got some kind of genetic mutant that barely grew at all and ended up yielding about 3/4 ounce of straight fire.
According to my seedventory, I have 1 more of these seeds left. Maybe the third run will be the charm!
Be back in a bit!
