Here's an article that answers a bunch of Fulvia questions. A bit lengthy but very detailed and informative.

From Wikipedia: In 41 BC, tensions between Octavian and Fulvia escalated to war in Italy. According to Appian, Fulvia was a central cause of the war, due to her jealousy of Antony and Cleopatra's affair in Egypt; she may have escalated the tensions between Octavian and Lucius in order to draw back Antony's attention to Italy.

Pretty sure we heard you the first time.
@Emilya, I know you've had computer issues in the past - are you aware that you just double posted the same post twice?
Edit: sunspots. lmao. Ok.

yes, we are having a major solar flare right now that is causing a communications blackout. My rural internet is in and out. You will find flakey comms all afternoon and this evening there should be aurora way down toward the equator.Pretty sure we heard you the first time.

That's kind of cool actually. Not for you but from a scientific point of view. Now that you mention it we had one very odd power surge that blew a fuse today out of nowhere for no reason. Maybe from that?

very likely... there are surges all up and down the power grid right now as the geomagnetic field reacts to this huge solar wind

Here's a new one to me....
My old drummer and best friend Pat, another grower who lives in PA, just got his screened bags/ice extraction setup and he has more kief than he knows what to do with. So he's experimenting (mostly with what he can sell, lol) and sent me this picture of his latest marketing effort.
He's calling these chocolate chip cookies. And it really is uncanny how much it looks like chocolate chip cookie dough. But in fact, this is kief pucks with hash chunks. The pictures are two sides of the same cookie. Lol.
This made me smile for a long time.

Thursday Bud Porn Weekend Warmup!!!
With an Observation/Report on the Apple Blossom
I was looking through my photos and came across some sweeties to share and also found one that may explain something. We'll start there. I have found five or six seeds in the Apple Blossom. It appears a few branches got pollinated somehow. Almost all of them are completely seed free, but a few are not. Each seed I've found has been on the very outside of the bud - so much so you could see it halfway exposed. None on the insides. And the seeds are all well developed - I'd say plantably-so. There's a picture of a couple of them.
So either the plant did this due to genetics or I somehow touched some branches after somehow getting pollen on my fingers. It's a brand new tent and that was the first plant in it, and it was very well sealed and such....so I am certain I had no light leak issues. I am equally certain I had no environmental or nutrient or deficiency or overfeeding issues. Basically, for a change, I can say with certainty that nothing I did caused these seeds to exist other than I somehow introduced some pollen to a few branches. The only other possibility I can see is that there was a tiny bit of latent pollen in the workings of the AC unit I'm using, and that got blown into the tent and pollinated a branch or three. I guess that's possible too. Regardless of the reason (and I'll bet a million dollars it ISN'T genetics - Humboldt Seed Company plants, in my experience, don't just GO hermie or create seeds out of nowhere cuz the genetics are unrefined. Lmao.), they exist. A very small handful. I estimate they're in maybe 10% of the buds. And those buds are not as dense as the others. You can almost pick them out before you check for seeds.
Let's get to the porn and I'll show you what I'm saying....
Here's a picture of an Apple Blossom bud top, fairly close to harvest. Look carefully around 3 o'clock, and about 1/3 or 1/4 of the way in from the right. See the yellow tip? I'm arguing that this is the tip of a nanner that I missed. I think I even posted this picture in the journal, and I didn't see it then. But I did today. These, I believe, would be the buds that had the seeds, and perhaps pollinated a few others. It must have happened late enough that the whole plant isn't seedy, in fact it's barely anything. But couldn't have been too late based on how the seeds look. I find it odd that the seeds are so well developed. That tells me they had been forming for more than a week at least. I would have expected to find those flat, white, super shitty hermie seeds inside the bud, not just a very few finished seeds sitting only on the outside. Odd. You can almost see that this bud, even though it's just the top, wasn't fattening up all the way and had less density at the end.
Here's an example of an Apple Blossom bud that developed perfectly and fattened up properly, like most of them.
Here's a picture of what the seeds look like. I've gotten worse looking seeds for $15 a pop. Lol.
And just cuz I liked the picture, here's the Apple Blossom in mid flower in black and white.
So another update: I got some dirt delivered yesterday and more coming, but since it arrived I dropped another auto last night - a Pluto Runtz auto from Ethos. It's a pre-release. We'll talk about that later, But in attempting to research this pre release seed that Ethos provides next to zero information about, I came across a grow journal somewhere else inconsequential, of a dude who is currently growing this Pluto Runtz. Here's a picture of that dude's PR in a 3x3. This is ONE plant, an auto, and in SOIL. I was impressed. Made me not be able to wait to drop the seed!
And finally some random porn. This is the massive Strawberry Lemonade cola at harvest.
This picture shows what the buds from that cola (and others, lol) turned out looking like.
This is a Strawberry Lemonade trimmed bud in shadow. Love this picture.
Here we have the massive Dos Si Dos cola at harvest.
And this is a wet trimmed bud of the Dos Si Dos and what those buds looked like.
This is a closeup of the interior of a Blueberry bud, again, just because I liked the picture, lol.
This is a Hulkberry bud that's been curing for a couple months. The Hulkberry cured up golden like this. It looks wild and has become my go-to hybrid. The buzz is very clear and long lasting, and it really does have the best of both worlds. Very strong weed. But not debilitating, actually a bit more up than down, and scores well on the energizing scale. Good morning smoke. The Hulk rocks.
This is the Raspberry Parfait, my first outdoor plant ever harvested, when she was in late flower but not yet at the fattening up end stage.
And finally we have a duo of pictures of the Pineapple Upside Down Cake, the whole plant close to harvest, and a closeup of a bud close to harvest.
Hope you enjoyed this little Thursday morning porn. Let's generate some momentum going into the weekend!

You're going to have to start dropping some more mundane pictures and updates. I feel we may need a tolerance reset to fully appreciate once again the stuff you're dropping. Absolutely amazing.

Lol. Thanks Azi, but you came in late. Most of the people here are sick to death of my stupid pictures. Thanks really though, and yeah, a few have come out okay, I'm pretty happy with where I'm at lately.You're going to have to start dropping some more mundane pictures and updates.

Ha. You're the best Azi. But I'm not letting you bait me into bragging again.Ok, Captain Understatement. Carry on.
Besides, I try to keep things in perspective. Okay, it's by far the best I've done, and the buds are sweet. But you see what some of the more experienced guys and girls are pumping out on this site? (lol) I'm far from the big leagues yet. Let's say I'm tearing up Double A ball. Lol!- Thread starter

Mystery Plant Training Update
Veg
One thing I love about this plant is that I don't have to look back however many pages to find my last post so I can do the math and see how old she is. Lmao. She's however old she is.
So I'm thinking, what haven't we done to this girl yet?
Duh. SUPERCROPPING. Of course! And why not? So I went ahead and supercropped the top, and a few mid level side branches. Let's see how that goes over the next week or so. Heh. Also pulled the branches in the bottom ring out to however much they'd grown since they were anchored.
Here's the work and what we're looking at at the end. The shots are an overhead view and side view of the top of the plant post supercropping, and then the whole girl. Last picture is an example of the new growth. The light yellow is the light and camera angle, it's all green. But note what we're getting now for new leaves. The overall "cola" top to the branches are beginning to look closer to normal. We're still getting nothing but three pointed leaves, however. I find that yet another excessively odd thing about this plant.
Input appreciated!

Well, the whole nail or screw in the trunk thing, but you're right, supercropping is the obvious next step. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
