With summer quickly coming to a close and fall just about upon us, the flowering cycle is really kicking in to gear. I think are days in the Bay Area are down to about 12 hrs a day. Hope everyone's plants are in full bloom or at least getting there.
The skies here are still very brown from all of the fires in California. The latest one is about 300 miles south of me, but this strange weather has the smoke blowing directly to the north. I was up at my cabin this weekend for a little work and some relaxation. I woke up on Saturday morning to see the skies filling with smoke. I turned on the TV to see the latest news and saw the plumes of smoke coming from the new fire all the way down in the Fresno sierra's. It looked like an atom bomb went off down there. Needless to say, the smoke headed north right up the sierra's. It was a strange sight to see. My cabin is about 120 miles east of me, but when I drove home yesterday afternoon, the entire bay area was also inundated with smoke. I think it followed me home. Hahahaha. The plants are doing great and I hope the skies clear soon. We are just entering fire season, so I got my fingers crossed.
Below are a few of my pics from this morning!!! This will be a really big harvest, I hope. As you can see the tops are really starting to take off on all of the Enchanted Violence plants.
The Blackjak and Strawnana are coming along fine too, but they are a little behind the EV's
I really gotta get out there and do some trimming on the underbrush. Some of the leaves are also turning a little yellow. I've over watered a bit and I'm sure the smoke isn't helping much.
And lastly, here are a few pics of the deck at my cabin. I have been working on this for months, and I mean months. Getting construction supplies like wood and Trex deck boards have been crazy since the Covid outbreak. So, contruction of the deck was slow. I didn't even bother to replace the railings. That would have probably added a few more months on to the project. But I did replace all the the joists and most of the posts and I added a lot of reinforcement to the underside to fix the wobble that the deck has had for the last 20 years. Hahaha.
