GratefulBud's Summer 2023 Outside Grow

Thanks Shed!
I am very pleased so far. The plant that got hit the hardest by those damn flying worms was the Watermelon Kush - and I still got 5oz from her.

Thanks Carcass!
I thought I would be burnt out at this point but I'm not. I'm thinking the last two - Critical Kush and the SFV OG sip - can wait until the weather cools down. Saturday or Sunday.

I have learned from my friends here that you have to be patient. Don't harvest too soon unless you have to / want to. Sometimes at the end the plants look ugly and that is OK.

Totals so far:
White Widow = 6.5oz
Watermelon Kush = 5oz
Gorilla OG sip = 8oz plus another 3oz of popcorn buds for edibles.
Mimosa = 7.5oz plus another 2oz of popcorn buds for edibles.
(I'm now focused on nuggets larger than a ping pong ball - the rest go into the popcorn bin)
SFV OG sip = 5oz so far. Looks to be at least another 12oz left on her.
Critical Kush = tbd

You should see the grin on my face.
(could be from the White Widow I just smoked)
Hey, Do you know where a man might get a bag of weed? All I've been getting is seeds and stems from some sketchy look'n guy.... Man it's been a pleasure watching you grow weed. You did it with much grace, and style.

LOL!
I think I used to know that same guy . . .
Thanks for the kind words.
 
Watermelon Kush bud that dried in the fridge 7 days and has been in a jar for about 6 days. Not cured yet but it sure looks nice. I'll let it cure for another few days before I try a taster.


I found another nugget that was not labelled (hey I was high) so I smoked it. I like it whatever it is. Does not feel same as the White Widow and does not look the Watermelon, so I'm thinking it was a Mimosa nugget.

Anyone else have to play "guess that weed" or just me?

Fortunately the jars are all properly labelled.
The rack is labelled as well - still some Mimosa and SFV OG drying in The Box™. Struggling to keep the temp / humidity around 60.

All of the Gorilla from the box is now in jars as it dried quickly - around 5 days. Got a few bunch of bags still in the fridge.
 
Funny story on the rack.
A week ago I was running out of room and I told my buddy 'that green rack is working great. I wish I had another one'.
The next day I saw the exact same one on Craigslist for ten bucks 3 miles away. So now I have two.
 
I've got a corner desk with shelves on Craigslist that no one wants. I should mark it down to $10!
My roommate and I did a garage sale once and towards the end of the day we were desperate to get everything remaining gone. So her deal became "if you want that for $12 you can have it for $10, however you have to take this thing as well". We got rid of a LOT of stuff that way.

"Ask and you shall receive," "Seek and ye shall find," "He who knocketh at the door......." Yeah, you get what I'm saying.
 
Bud looks great :)
Thanks Tra!
I should probably take better pictures. Got a lot of buds like that.

I'm a big believer in a cosmic connection to the universe. Whatever that means.
Whenever I do something mean to others Karma bites my ass right quick.
 
Its that a Jehovah’s Witness joke?

🤣
If it was it’s not as funny as mine:-

What do my man and a Jehovahs Witness have in common?
No matter how much they beg I won’t let ‘em come inside.

Boom Tish!

Lolling!

My son is all about the universe. I am not.

*My son receives yet another speeding fine*

My son: mum I just believe everything happens for a reason
Me: I’ll be your Confucius. The reason is you drive too fast and you refuse to follow basic fucking rules.

What if the universe is trying prevent him from getting into a bad car accident?

When I was 19 a good friend (who always drove around like a madman) died when he wrapped his mini truck around a tree. I drove a lot slower after that.

If it’s the same universe that let a drugged and drunk driver live, while the family with 2 children under 5, who were doing all the right things, die it can go fuck itself.

Lolling.

Yeah I have lost a few too.

Didn’t stop me risk taking when I was young tho. I have this horror memory being on the back of a bike, miniskirt, singlet and thongs. He was doing 180kph. As my singlet flapped up around the back of my neck I can remember thinking “if I come off, I’m fucked…” lollllll!
 
Here is Critical



Sprouted 4/20 and went into flower July 26th. 86 Days
She is number 5 of 6 plants I grew this year.
Grown outdoors on my patio next to the pool in a fabric 7 gallon pot. Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil.
Nutes = Fox Farms Trio plus Open Sesame / Beastie Bloomz / Cha Ching.
Bug avoidance = I gave all 6 plants SNS209 throughout the grow. Stopped about 4 weeks ago. Probably could have gone another 2 weeks with it. Sprayed with Castile hemp soap solution only a few times during flower. 4 of the 6 were placed under bug netting once they started flower. All were sprayed with BT to kill any caterpillars.

I've been waiting for the weather to cool down (95˚F here today). Tomorrow will be much cooler so going to be chop day. I removed most fans and yellowing leaves and will remove more before I do a 3 bucket wash tomorrow. This plant is sticky as hell. Buds are frikking rock solid hard. I removed a little bit of rot - hoping not much more.
She looked ready a few weeks ago when the weather went cold, then it warmed up and her buds have just been getting thicker. And now I'm seeing a few white hairs have popped out. No matter. She's gonna get chopped tomorrow.




I grow, harvest, and dry outdoors - fridge dry or inside the drying box I built. Doing a comparison to see which drying method I like best. The dry box is a PIA to be honest.

RH too high, then too low. I got several jars of crispy buds I'm trying to get back up over 60% RH right now. Mimosa and the SFV OG (partial). 6 days in the box in hot weather did not work out - dried very fast again. Luckily I've got a bit of both in the fridge slow drying so I pulled a few buds from the fridge and added to the jars to raise RH. Hope that works out.
Smells wonderful!

Hope you have a great weekend!
 
Colas as long as your arm on that baby! I lost track of how many were left there. :laugh:

:goodluck: with the cooler weather and the harvest tomorrow!
The big girl is the SFV OG. She will hopefully come down Sunday. My helpers are not available so just me. The SFV is the one with the monster colas. And she smells wonderful!
