I have another set of update pics.
I still have whiteflies but they're no longer the danger they were. The climate is changing and the environment has become hostile to them, so the population is back to its mildly annoying self. The plague has moved on! *mutter*
I think though, that all this leaf damage came from the spinosad foliars. Nothing reacted right away but these brown dessicated leaves are more than dry air or funky soil. It didn't seem to have affected the important stuff - no sign of pistil damage for instance - but the fans slowly began to malfunction starting at the tips.
But things are still moving along.
Freddy's Best got the chop a few days ago and will probably be ready for the jars tomorrow. I'll get weights and more pics for y'all later.
CarnivalA is due next week but she looks a bit slow. I think the flies sucked a lot of energy out of this grow. Yield will be down. But the stress is also increasing potency - Freddy's has a solid kick, as have the last couple harvests.

And right behind, or maybe in tandem, comes CarnB2. After trimming most of the crispy dead crap off, she has a certain ample allure to her, doncha think? She looks like she's gonna get all greasy n stuff, too. Papa likes.

I'm going to have to make room for some more of these DrGs in the next round. It's a lovely cooperative plant to grow, and a refined smoke which expresses its genetics with beautiful clarity and balance - a great blend!

CarnB1 is in the middle of her cat switch, just starting to bulk up ...

And I put Rio in with the big girls today.
But I just may take her out tomorrow and upcan her into a 15 gallon bin of soil.
Got the itch to run a big pot ... we'll see.
