fireFinal 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.
Quotes:
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.
The only thing I haven't tried is not schlepping them.
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.

I was hoping he relocates the little girl. We cant get them around here right now.Ha! That little cutie had her own ladybug!
She's gonna' be fire, I just know it!
Jesus shed, came to this thread wanting to ask you about your CJ harvest and I was 10 pages behind on the catch-up. 
.. this journal moves at the speed of sound.
Anyways, how's the cap Junky coming along on drying bro?

Congrats on the harvest Shed! PGC and CJ look great!
Regarding the little one, be curious on your thoughts on its potency. I had an Orange Sherbert that wasn't much larger and it got me.higher than I have been in 10 years

Late Monday update after a mostly off-line weekend!
I'd been talking about taking cuttings off the Candida mother to start again and I hope I didn't leave it too long, since it's looking a bit sad lately. This was Saturday:
I took a shitload of cuttings so there are 3 in soil under each of those domes and I think 5 in the perlite:
They're all on the heat mat at 80º with a soft light on them 24/7. I take off the domes for a minute every morning to freshen the air, and later this week I'll start to tip the domes back a little every few days to get them to start rooting. We'll see!
Sunday it was time to cut the Purple Ghost Candy off the stems and bag them up for the burping, and I used two smaller turkey bags for those:
I went through the two small PGC branches that got dusted with Candida pollen, and here is what I came up with:
That's 44 tiger striped ones by my count, which is plenty!
I took The Wizard auto flowers out of the box as well but it was early and they were at 80% RH in a jar, so the jar is open and a fan blows past the opening for 30 minutes every hour to make sure they don't rot after all the work I put in.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope your weekend was bright and sunny and your teams won (unless they were U of Minnesota or the LA Chargers)!

Thanks Scottay, and a happy Monday! The weekend was a lot of college football, making bread for a Sunday brunch, and the Chiefs game. Not too bad especially if I wasn't missed too badly.
Thanks Jiggi, but I'm definitely not a champion grower or I'd have lower fan leaves to pull off at harvest!
IKR? Thanks Otter, but for those of us who are finished we still have your trees to admire well into Fall!
Thank you Marcus, and I guess we'll get some idea in a month or so.
She was already gone when I washed it, so my guess is it headed over to the Candida mother. Not sure it can make the journey all the way to your backyard.
Only around harvest time.
I had it in the box with the dehuey off and on for a week, and now it sits around 68% in the bag. I'll get it down to 62% over the next week and then jar it up for curing:
Thanks Tim! They smell great too, and coming back into the house after being outside is a real treat.
I'll let you know in early November.
Nice bags of bounty Shed!
BTW, my team scored 41 points in a win and we now have a Grade-A quarterback. I keep waiting to hear Rod Serling chime in!

Nice to see all the summer schlepping has paid off with a nice collection of buds in bags!
So if all the Candida cuttings root is that the end of the road for the mother? If that is the case the good news is you’ll be able to play ping pong again.
Not much of a football guy myself, I’m your stereotypical Canadian that’s excited the hockey season is starting soon!

Thanks GDB!
Looks like it might be real so I have my fingers crossed for you.
And now I'm rooting for the Commanders to win against everyone but the Chiefs.Thank you N! Now I schlep the bags in and out of a dresser drawer. I guess that's my Fall exercise routine.
LOL the ping pong table is just my giant work surface outside since it's the only table out there. It's usually playable.
And yes, the mother will be culled as soon as I get a solid replacement.
Do you root for an NHL team or someone in the CHL? I've never followed hockey, though from the highlights is looks like UFC on skates. Is that about right?
Thanks sb! 9-10 oz from a 70-73 day veg would be an excellent result. I hope to have a CapJunky weight by this weekend so we'll see how that one goes.
Can't fault you for going with a proven winner, and an exciting team to watch to boot!Looks like it might be real so I have my fingers crossed for you.
If we can get into to the playoffs and -- oh my -- perhaps win a game, I'll feel like we're the next KC!
Old one-liner: "I went to a boxing match and a hockey game broke out."
Nice!!! Great harvest!! What’s up next???

Thanks Ke0ncp! Next up will be trying to germinate some 30 year old Afghani reg seeds that smokesbetter dropped off at my house a while back. I'll be using bananas (and maybe other ethylene producing fruits) to up the chances of germination.
After all of that, if it works and I get a female in that mix I'll be cloning it, reversing one, and making new seeds from it.
Here's how sb described the Afghanis:
Congrats on a productive season, Shed!
I missed some of it, but I went back and checked the harvests out-
Plenty of weed to keep the all smokers smokin', and the vapers vaping for a good while...
Even the little Wizard made a sizeable contribution..

Thanks Carcass, and I'm glad you had a chance to catch up on the harvests! The plants were definitely a bit smaller than usual (easier to schlep) but I may go even smaller next year depending on how many jars these two (three
) turn out to be. I don't want to always have to rely on Tad to take the overflow.

I do the New York Rangers
The CHL is a couple of steps below the NHL, I’d equate it to college football in an NFL perspective. The CHL is where the younger players age 15-18 years old play to prepare for a possible move to the NHL.
It can be like that, fighting was more prevalent 20 years ago not as much now but it still definitely happens!

If I was a hockey fan growing up that would have been my team.
Oh like a feeder league, gotcha.
It's the fights that make the highlight reels!

Thanks Otter! They're available for folks interested in growing them. I'll drop them off...
