They’re already under them in Pinellas Cty. That’s Clearwater + Mad. Bch. They don’t force you to leave but will lock you up if caught outside your crib.Thanks N! I was really surprised when I saw them with the scope and had to shoot about 10 pics to get one that really showed them off. If I tried I doubt I could find them again.
Another good test!
Oh, well I hope everyone comes through alright. Jon mentioned they may be under mandatory evacuations in Bonita Springs.
Quickie Tuesday update (Monday's news is here if you missed all the trichome pics) where I show my mistakes.
I still had the rest of the Candida cuttings sitting in perlite, so I thought I'd see what was happening down under:
Looks like one dead, one with no roots, and one with a root.
It turns out that I was a bit too aggressive when I pulled the stems through the perlite, and the one without roots left this behind:
Next time I float out the perlite I will actually dump it into a strainer to check. Lesson learned. I did plant the one with the root because I felt bad for it.
In other news, another lemon had sprouted seeds in it...one with green growth and the other with just a root. I planted them both in a solo cup:
We'll see!
Hope your week is off to a good start.
Does your plant slow down its water intake as it approaches harvest time and is this true of all plants?Monday update, leading off with some trichome shots from Friday just for fun!
Both plants were on flip day 59 then, and here is the Trainwreck from @Weed Seeds Express:
And dig the purple trichome stems in the next two pics...never had that before!
Here is the Purple Urkle:
Zooming out a bit, there seem to be quite a few spotless ladybugs on the plants noshing on the aphids I haven't sprayed for, though mostly on the Purple Urkle (btw the brown and burned leaves on the plants are from the heat wave we had in the beginning of September - no cause for alarm):
One is on the Trainwreck though:
Speaking of the Trainwreck, remember I mentioned that it had supercropped itself from the weight of the tops? Here are pics of the bends (pardon the blur on the second one):
It's been a while since I pointed this out, but here's a good way to see if your browning leaves might be budrot. This isn't:
How do we know? The leaves are brown from the tips in and not the inside out:
Both plants have slowed down their water intake but still not ready to come down. I'd say one will get the chop this weekend, though I'm not sure which yet.
I hope you had a great first fall weekend and your preferred football team came away with an moral victory if not an actual one!
Stay safe out there, and a happy new year to those who celebrate.
Quotes:
Thanks mumps! I usually top above the 8th node, and both of these were. And if you're trying to count from the bottom up, the first two nodes have been removed and maybe even the third. The lower nodes make the plant too wide to fit through door every morning/night.
Free seeds are a great bonus.
Thanks sb!
A lot probably depends on what type of oil it is. I still have some THC topical oil that's 3 years old in the fridge (I need to give more massages obviously) and it's fine. That one is pumpkin seed and grapeseed. My internal oils are extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and that does have a shelf life, even in the fridge.
Good question! All cannabis plants will slow down water intake as they approach the end of their lives, but whether that's how long to wait for harvest depends on whether you grow inside or outside. As we've talked about here, amber in the sun has less importance than amber in tents, so folks growing indoors often will harvest based on the clear/cloudy/amber percentages and not wait for the plant to stop drinking.
I love that pic of Trainwreck with its top buds leaning over from the weight. That's kinda how I feel after a big meal.
Purple!!
I always enjoy viewing good trichome pics.
It seems like the Trainwreck has more cloudy trics than PU.I think that's a fine choice!
We're going to need post-Thankgsiving pics...
Thank you BL! I know you have a special talent for looking past the amber on these.
Oh good!
I'll take the fans off on Friday and make sure someone will be around to help trim this weekend.
Thanks!
Ahh you're talking about my post here! I thought you meant a thread on it.
Ahh, THANK YOU!!
They are 1/3 Subcool supersoil, and 2/3 local canna mix that needs CalMag with each feeding.
Is that canna mix actually coco? Sounds like droughting will present a challenge because coco retains water poorly and it's 2/3 of your medium.
Good idea to figure out where you're going to be before you start making plans!
Ahh, ok.
Siiiii..........
Ok. Thanks!
I thought it takes many days to get that THC gains. I am not questioning you I just think that's the whey I read it.
You and me and @Maritimer all think that! A few days of drought won't give the plant enough time to mount the defense mechanisms that end up raising the THC levels in the flowers.
Per our previous conversation about topicals and in special reference to adding essential oils for fragrance, I'd like to drop this link here that @Amy Gardner just reminded me I put in her thread a few years back:
Thank you. Though if I do add any essential oils, I'll probably just use a touch of tea tree oil. While that isn't going to help his pain , it's a great oil to add since his hands usually have a few cuts in them.
