Final harvest update of the 2024 Summer grow! And for the big finale, more pictures of a tiny plant than it deserves.
Yesterday (Tuesday) was day 94 above ground for The Wizard auto. It got off to a slow start and remained at that pace through the entire grow. I topped it when it first went into flower, to no avail.
Here it was on Tuesday morning:
It had completely stopped drinking so I prepped it for washing:
Ready to dunk:
And drip dry:
The 2 minute trim, which included about a dime's-sized area of bud rot (moisture related because of how tightly the buds were packed):
I cut the three lowest buds off the stems and split the top ones apart so they could hang dry:
I hung the split ones on the lowest line in the box (with the Purple Ghost Candy) and put the loose ones on the bottom.
As promised, here are the roots:
They're all off to one side for some reason:
And that wraps up the Summer grow. I really appreciate you all hanging around for the ride, and I hope you'll continue to be here during the quieter fall and winter happenings. As I mentioned to Professor Flora, I'll be trying to germinate some 30 year old Afghani reg seeds using ethylene from rotting fruit. We'll see!
for sticking around.

I have absolutely no idea. I have tried adjusting their feeding over the years, tested the pH of the soil, changed up how I handle pests and PM, but I've been unable to get my plants to hang onto their lowers after stretch.

Indeed!
Har! I would
love to blame MrS, but it happened even when I ran Rx Blend nutes by their instructions. However, those plants were not grown my standard way (one in a SWICK-ish, one in SIP that got replanted into a cloth pot). I still have one set of Rx Blend nutes left so I'll run that next summer to see if anything changes.
) obviously do as well.
Enjoyed the grows ! Thanks for having me along
