Frostiest Part of your state!
Beautiful picture Jon.
Looking forward to hearing a smoke report on her, once the deed is done!
I'm thinking it sort of gives away the state....Lmao
@Rexer, I'm beginning to wonder if this little plant might outyield the champion Chunkadelic. These buds are gigantic. Every bud on the plant is, even the little ones. They are as rock hard as they look. I've never grown a Sour Apple anywhere CLOSE to this. AND NO NUTES AND IN USED SOIL? It barely seems possible. The only thing I can think is that somehow, in the time that old used soil sat there in the big pile of it, Fox Farms and Sohum all just tossed in a pile as plants got harvested and sat in the elements for months before I used it, it must have developed a colony of useful microbes. Think maybe it's possible that there were leftover living microbes in the Sohum that got tossed in that pile, and that colony has multiplied and now inhabits the entire pile, and stays alive cuz it gets rained on all the time? I honestly have no idea if that's a possibility, but I can't come up with any other explanation. This plant has not had the slightest blemish except for her first ten days of growth when I figured, as I did from the beginning, that she was history. But we both hung in there and now she's incredible. It's astounding. There's no flarf in the sun if you defol so everything is uncovered. OMG I can't even believe it. I'm growing auto after auto exactly this same way until I move, cuz once I do taking advantage of the weather over the winter in this state is no longer in play, and WOW is it amazing. We're talking it's about to not get over 85 for the next four months, ever, and overnight it'll be between 65 and 70 every night. I honestly believe I have hit on something with this concept of sun by day and round it out with LED to 20 hours a day of light by night. Maybe? Sure seemed to produce a special plant this time. I'm also going to pop my three Strawberry Lemonades from Barney's Farm for the last grow journal before I move. I'll intentionally grow them in threes and intentionally send them to flower after a month and have a great little photo harvest in 100 days total, 30 for veg and 70 for flower. I can fit a dozen plants easy if I wanted to in the side space where the current photos basically live. No light other than natural star/moon light. It's the only spot where there's not a single light shining into the space from the multitude of AC units and hurricane units and all the unnecessary garbage these people with too much money and time on their hands buy here. And it's invisible from the front and the back. We're shortly about to find out how stinky the neighborhood will be, cuz the Raspberry Parfait has finally realized she went to 12/12 or 13/11 from 20/4 about a week ago, and she is finally beginning to show her preflowers and stuff. I'll have fledgling bud shots from her in a week I think. Seems outdoor takes longer to do everything in general. Like the plants just take their sweet time and you roll with it. Compared to LED it seems like they're more relaxed. LED is like "grow grow grow it's a race damnit, hurry." You know what I mean? I am SO sold on outdoor in general already. Can't wait to be back in PA and plant some outdoor plants in the spring!!!
I am more than aware that I am one lucky dude in a lot of ways. If this is God's way of telling me he had to slap me back hard, for whatever reason, and sorry, but here's THIS to make up for it a little bit, well, I guess I'm okay with that.
