Hi @HashGirl
If you want photos with perfect exposure, use a piece of 18% grey card, then focus on the front third of your depth of field, because focus shortens with distance, ie more is in focus behind than in front as it is less dissipated light
This is 18% grey if you want to print it off
Put a black or white mark on it for the camera to focus on and hold it exactly where your subject is to measure light
You will get perfectly exposed a pics in perfect focus - depth of field is very important

CB Dutch Treat 1 has developed some damaged leaves. I thought it might be calcium so I added Cal-Mag to the water in the last feeding.

I noticed that most of your vegging plants are in the 70-80 day range and still on 4g/gallon of MC. Personally I would bump that to 4.5 before I tried adding cal-mag to them.

You are an animal! I don’t know how you do it. Just one after another. Your dedication is admirable!

Will do.

They're in the 70 to 80 day range because the tents aren't empty yet in order to be cleaned. I'm planning on harvesting the 2 Sugar Black Roses this weekend but that still leaves 2 plants in one tent. Hopefully, I'll be able to harvest the Runtz Punches soon, too.

And, I have a curing question: I know you're supposed to burp your jars and I thought it was something I was supposed to do daily for the first month but the jars that were filled on June 11 are already at 62 rh so do I need to still burp them?

I only burp once or twice a week once the small has turned from green to funky, I keep mine at mid 50s

I only give my harvests air for the first 21 days after chop. Ideally that's 7 days hanging, 7 days of twice daily burping, and 7 days of once daily burping. Then I seal them for curing and never open them until someone wants some!

I do know some folks like to burp monthly or weekly after that but even if I though it was needed, I have way too many jars to even consider that.

HG You have unusual varieties of plants with such wonderful names... sugar black roses sounds so exotic. Good luck with the harvest

I know the feeling - 16 jars and I'm sure I've muddled up the lids with the labels on
Got a text from a friend earlier, asking what he was supposed to be doing with 8oz vacuum sealed in his freezer that I gave him last September(?) - I'd forgotten about that too

Hi HashGirl and Felonious, still real hot there?

I haven't actually been outside today but yesterday was quite pleasant with the temp around 75 and sunny. Today is supposed to be around 78 and sunny.

to my journal, Mr. A. I wasn't growing yet when you were last here. I started learning how to grow cannabis my very first day of retirement, May 1, 2020. And, the first 2 plants I grew were Dark Devils. I got 8 grams from one and 10 grams from the other. Suffice to say, I've gotten way better with m DDAs. My best DDA yielded 133 grams.

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

my best DDA was just under 70g, in a 1 gallon pot. Dont have the space for anything too big.

*** UPDATE TIME ***​

Good evening.

I meant to update this journal on Tuesday but things kept coming up that prevented me from doing that including the province-wide Rogers shutout that happened yesterday. We don't have Rogers but our cell provider uses the Rogers cell towers so we were out, too and that meant I couldn't upload any pics to my computer.

Anyhow, this week's highlights include:

• The Magnums were sprayed with Safer's once.
• The White Widow x Big Buds were sprayed with Neem once.
• The indoor plants were all fed 1L of Neemed water.
• The 4 Moby Dicks were all topped just before their 4th nodes.
• CB Dutch Treat 1 gained 5 inches this week.
• I took @InTheShed's advice and bumped up the feed on the indoor vegging plants.
• White Widow x Big Bud 1 gained 5 inches this week.
• White Widow x Big Bud 2 gained 7 inches this week.

Without further ado, here are the pics:

Apologies to @Roy Growin for not taking the photos the way he suggested. I meant to remove the backgrounds of some of the photos but I can't get my photo editing program to work.

​

• I gave up on BBa3 and BBa4. I haven't turfed them but they're not getting any bigger so I will no longer report on them. However, I already prepared two 3-gallon pots with GeoFlora for the Blueberry autos so I decided to drop 2 Dark Devil auto seeds into water as a replacement.

And, in related news, does anyone remember the 2 Blueberry autoflowers that I gave up on in March? Rather than throwing them out, I planted them together in a 5-gallon pot and put them on our dining room table until around the beginning of May when I started feeding them leftover GeoFlora. I harvested them the same day I harvested my Dark Devils and I trimmed them up today.

BBa3 & BBa4
Days in Veg - 60
Days in Flower - 76
Final Yield - 33 grams total

And, that's everything. Thanks for following along. Comments, questions and suggestions are always welcome.

Nicely done @HashGirl ! Those BB Auto's are almost like found money!
