Monday update for y'all! Sorry for my weekend absence so I hope this post will make up for it.
First, let's take a look at the Summer grow this morning on day 6:
Purple Urkle leads a bit at this point (it's also planted higher) but I'll try to get them to the same size before I flip them.
I was looking at the big Candida this weekend (
last seen here) and wondering why I was so hesitant to flip it, and I realized I had been waiting for it to look healthier, as it's been looking kinda down in the dumps lately:
I realized it was never going to look much better and was really long in the tooth, so I made an executive decision:
Enough! It was going to be impossibly large and floppy in flower in addition to it not being in the best of health and a home for aphids.
Instead, I upcanned the Candida mother plant this morning:
A little
@DYNOMYCO blended in for added oomph:
Roots!
Before I planted it I sliced them with a razor blade, down the sides and hatched across the bottom.
@Amy Gardner taught me to spray the sides of the rootball with water to get the mycorrhizae to stick, so I did!
Here it is all settled in its new 7 gallon pot:
I watered it and put it in the dappled shade. It won't get full sun until Thursday. Sometime this week I'll give it a trim, start a new mother, and flip this in a few weeks.
Here it is next to the Jack Herer 1.1 clone:
And speaking of the Jack Herer, I flipped that last night, so for
@BeezLuiz' spreadsheet this is the height at flip:
Let's call it 37".
That's it for me today. Tomorrow I'll get a pic of the Sour G's STS seed-making project for your perusal. I hope your weekend went well and your week is smooth sailing.

That's a fine harvest Shed! Nice appeal!
Thanks Otter!
Congrats on the DV harvest, Shed! She looks tasty.
Can't wait for the comprehensive familial reviews!
I'd say I got the best smoke report I'm going to get on that.
Thanks GDB!
Thank you BigD!
Wow over 8ozs. in 158 days and they never look that big when you show them , maybe set a chair next to them for reference when taking pics.?? Looks Good
LOL thanks sb! I will try remember to get a chair next to my harvest pics next time.
Another one bites the dust congratulations on another great grow
Thanky dynamo!
Congrats on the big beautiful Doug Varin harvest. 8.7 oz is nothing to sneeze at!
No sneezing at all! I'm good with 1.5g/day for sure. Thanks Adora!
That seed jumping out of it's shell!
IKR? That's why many folks stick to a 24 hour max. I guess if you're home a lot to check on them then they wouldn't have a chance to jump shell though...
I'm going to follow how @BooWho2 grows her autos
here. See how useful this thread is
That is an excellent decision.
Since the seeds were just harvested, I thought the germ rate would be much lower than 4/5 and now I've got two extra sprouts.
I didn't realize these were fresh seeds. Did you give them 2-3 weeks to dry out before planting them? I've heard that's best practices.
How come you'll continue to burp for a week with the buds already at 62%?
Good question! I give my harvests 21 days to outgas as much chlorophyll as possible before I seal them up in jars for curing. Ideally that's 7 days hanging, 7 days of 2x/day burping, and 7 days of once a day burping. Getting them down to 62% isn't the
reason for the burping, it's an added benefit.
Sometimes mine end up higher or lower than that (depending on the time of year), so I often need to move them back to 62% before I seal them at the end of 21 days. This harvest will probably end up lower so I'm hoping for a few damp nights later this week so I can leave them open on the ping pong table for 15 minutes to absorb some moisture!
Looks Good
