Quick Passover/Good Friday update for y'all!
First up are the Sour G's for the seed-making project:
The one on the right has gotten 4 STS sprays, and on flip day 9 I don't see pistils or balls, so we wait. I flipped the middle one last night so it's on flip day 1, and the left one will get flipped next week. With a bit of luck I'll have pollen and receptive pistils at the same time!
And here are the Doug's Varin clones, and the one on the left is the one I trimmed and root-pruned on Sunday:
Still not dead, though not quite
happy yet.
Speaking of the DV, I got another smoke report from my wife (this one via text). I realize that these are nothing like the gems
@ProfessorFlora puts out with apparent ease, but it's sure better than usual:
"Very high and happy on your new weed!"
THCV or not, I think a clone will come in handy!
I hope all is well with you and your families, and that your weekend plans include a nap! :zzzzz:

Thank you, HH & Thank you for that interesting read, Shed!
I came real close to over drying my last harvest, so it's good to know I wasn't quite as close to ruining it as I thought...it went into the jars@56-58%, but after 2 or 3 days, it drifted back up to 62-63%.
I usually jar it around 65% and work my way down, went the other direction this time...seems fine though, actually smells a little better/stronger than usual...
I have more trouble drying now since it's much dryer this time of year. In the summer and early fall I don't have to worry about RH at all. I sometimes need my mini-dehuey then since burping the bags often
raises the RH.
I noticed the same thing. A few times the calyxes dried before the stems, all crunchy on the outside. But I jarred 'em anyway and they stabilized just fine, AND the terps were strong and fresh.
Thanks Graytail! I think they were much less crispy on the inside than I thought, since the RH was at 70% in the bags when I got home last night, and stayed that way even with the bread gone. I don't think it was just the bread working that fast or well. Now I can take my time over the next two weeks dropping the RH down 8 points.
I think maybe the 5th thing was the 4th thing.
Maybe
that's what I forgot!
Yikes! Somehow I fell behind and missed the ski-slope DV harvest and all the other goings-ons!
Congrats on the harvest. I hope she's all you had anticipated her to be.
That Candida "tree" was nearly a candidate for a gas-powered trimmer and I hoped you checked her for bird's nests!
Since they've been "squeezing the butter from the duck" at your job lately, I thought you had not been posting. I had no idea I was 4 pages behind!
Thanks GDB! You are full of sayings I never heard: "squeezing the butter from the duck" and "cool as the other side of the pillow"! I'm glad you didn't miss all the goings on here but you better not stray too far even when I do, as double H said:
The party goes on, even when Uncle Shed isn’t home!
This gang is the shit!
Question with root pruning, should one be worried with cutting a tap root? I realize it was a clone you pruned this instance, so no tap root there, but say it was a plant from seed….
Good question DAB! I haven't had the occasion to have to root prune a seed plant, because that would get transplanted rather than kept for a prolonged time in a 1 gallon pot.
I have nothing to back this up, but I think if you have a seed plant that is so root bound you need to prune it, trimming off the tap root at that stage (wherever it might be at that point) wouldn't make a difference. I've seen folks here grow great plants where the tap root got cut coming out of the peat puck a few days old!
...cheerz...

Glad she approves that it is different anyway . Nice Harvest Shed glad your really not having to much issue with the RH . Different times of year do and don't have there advantages for sure .
