Cheers Pat! Good to see ya.
Ah good times last night. Damage Control re-read of what I posted reveals nothing too stupid; so far so good.
God, I was tired and pissed. Took me about an hour and a half to write that first post!
Well; I did sleep in. First time in ages. Got up at 630, which is heaps late for me on a weekend. But I did manage to get some pics.
Heat is slowly climbing. Humidity may come into play soon, but I reckon I still may get away with it. Fingers crossed. The gnat situation became untenable; WAY too many moved in, and although I can't see any harm to the plants, they were in there eating SOMETHING, so since I'm sure the little 'uns attack the roots??, they had to go.. So I'm bottom-watering now, and added some perlite to the surface (yesterday) and saw none this morning, so, again; fingers crossed.
Otherwise, I standing by my drunken 5+OZ call last night. Won't be too much less, anyway. The TUTs are fattening nicely; the AH not doing much at all, creeping along in the corner, and the PCs and CHMOG getting nice and chubby.
Good frost all round so far. I'm trying not to touch them too much like I always do but gave the first official squeeze test yesterday and wow! Firmness! Rock hard PCs and CHMOG! And sticky!!!!
Getting excited! 2, maybe 3 weeks til the first plant comes out!!! Yay!!
PICS.
Quite happy with all this. Gonna be a decent haul of decent gear, so, yeah, getting excited
Cheers!!
Man i almost missed this
Looking bloody fantastic in there mate, have some reps

Gday, y'all and Merry Xmas!
Just a quick update before the relos get here..
All is well. Probably gonna chop at least one PC next week, and the CHMOG and remaining(?) PC the week after..
2 week again, and I reckon the TUTs will be ready or close to.. Even the Arjans is starting to build a little, so it's all happening.
Pics..
The TUTs are fattening up very nicely. Can't nail down the smell on em yet; sorta peppery. I'm starting to associate that pepper scent to sativas now after the Ghost Train smelled similar (stronger, with cat-piss.), so I hope that's what I'm supposed to be smelling...
Well, gotta go. Mum's on the way..
Have a good one, everyone.
Or; if you've already done it, don't over do it!!
Oh, and santbpool says Merry xmas also. He's still technically sober..
Not for long!

Howdy, y'all.. Hope youse had a great New Year.
I was in bed at 1030, totally sober. Getting old! Going to a New Years Day party today, so will make up for it later...!
Started harvesting yesterday.
Had a bit of a scare where I missed a day watering; opened the cab to see some very stressed, yellow plants.. I panicked a bit, and chucked some water at them cos I've just had no time lately.. Not sure how I actually missed the water situation; I'm usually pretty good with that, but it's been very hot here...
Still not "brutally" hot, but "fucken" (a local technical unit of measurement) hot nonetheless, and one day of not-enough-water was enougfh to send the plants into defense mode, sucking whatever they could from their leaves.
A day later, and a good plucking of the dead leaves, and it's all good again. They're all coming down soon so not a biggie, and I'm thinking/hoping that the stress might've boosted resin, and/or maybe advanced ripening a bit, with the exception of the Arjans which is still plodding along, building slowly; still bugger-all frost on her but the flowers are growing, and she won't be 'due' for at least another month, so fingers crossed.
The CHMOG looks ready. Frosty. Bit more a chem smell than the last one, but still a hint of that lovely choc mint.. Microscope reveals a few clusters of amber, lots of cloudy; lots of trich deterioration, so she'll be done this arvo when I get home, or more likely tomorrow morning, a week earlier than I had planned. It's a 60 day strain, and it's about that, maybe a touch less, but I think the dehydration-situation pushed her over the edge.
The 2 Tuts are also looking close, with one about a week behind the other.. Both are VERY frosty, one very fat and solid with the other....well, hopefully she catches up to her fat sister. Still a nice looking plant; assuming 2 more weeks, she should fatten up a bit more.
OK on to the PCs.
HARVEST STAGE ONE: Pineapple Chunk.
Too many photos to label (which is also why no photos of the other plants; maybe tomorrow..), some of which are of poor quality.. Hard with the super-sensitive white balance of my ancient Note 1 phone camera..
Notice the a split stem on one of them.. Only saw this last week, but must've happened ages ago. I got lucky on this; the plant, like me, apparently didn't notice being almost cleft in twain! Yet another reminder of the hardiness of the plant..
Otherwise, they both turned out fantastic. Both relatively small, a product, I guess of my small, hot, crowded cabinet, not to mention the slow start they had, but still some nice fat nugs. Frosty and sticky, they smell delicious. trimming was/is, as always, a pain in the arse (and back) but they came up well. A bit of fox-tailing, more so on one, didn't help with that, but all good.
I did the whole plant this time, rather than branches. Harder to trim over all but easier to hang! And identify. But I mostly chose this way just to calm down the drying time. Individual branches would be dry in a day or two here ATM; too fast, esp. for the fatter main flowers. I'll just jar up individual nugs as they dry, leaving the fatties for last. I DO NOT want to end up with moldy buds in a jar after getting lucky enough to avoid that shit in the cab.
On with the show..
Just realised I meant to rotate the upside down ones but I guess there's no need.. Too late now anyway.
And as usual, the photo uploader decided to put them in some random order, so I think I've got them sorted out..
Anyway, we're on the way to being finished. STILL haven't ordered more seeds yet; I'm having trouble deciding!!! Meanwhile, my bitcoins have sky-rocketed in value; like, $40 I made in 2 months, and now I don't wanna spend any!! Damn, I wish I had spare cash to invest in stuff...
Enjoy!!!
And stay safe!! BIG spate of young men drowning here at the moment; 25-50 year olds are getting pissed and fearless, and drowning doing things that they WERE old enough to know better about.... Like, I think I heard 12 dead in the last week alone.
So THINK guys!!!! Get pissed, yeah, but settle down... You wanna get pissed again next week, right??? So don't be fucken stupid this week....
And leave your car keys at home!! Same as murder, if you deliberately drive when you're pissed. Only scumbags do that shit, so stop right now. That poor little boy on xmas night. Another family xmas ruined forever, for the whole fucken family, cos some wanker thought "he'd be fine".
Murderer.
Sorry; that got a bit heavy but more blokes need to talk some sense into other blokes. And some women....

Ha thanks, greengo...Welcome! We're like a virus! Catch the fever!!
Cheers, Grizz. Mate, I hit a wall about 3 days ago. Then had a barbie friday nite, and with chores and hangover yesterday, I just could not even face a beer. I was tempted about 4pm, but I knew if I had 2 or 3, I'd have 10.
So I saved myself for today! New-ish tradition for some of my mates. New Years Day piss-up.
As opposed to our 20s/30s when it was all week straight, then a New Years piss-up...
Being half way to 50 sucks!
My mind wants to be pissed and stoned all the time!! My body won't put up with that shit anymore..!!

Quick update..
Harvest Stage 2: Choc Mint OG
God I hate watching em shrink... 33.2 grams total dry weight on the two PCs... Not bad, not great... Probably a bit over-dry. Just jarred today after a hot one. Rainy and cool yesterday, and didn't wanna jar in moist air.
CHMOG probably gonna end about half a zip; shrinking fast!!!
Check her out, while she was still fat......
First lot of pics are the remaining 3 plants; The first two, from the left, are the Tuts. One is SO fat.., the other doesn't quite seem like she's gonna get there. BUT: the skinny one is the best smelling; sweet floral fruit... Delicious. The fatty doesn't smell much at all.. But SO FROSTY!!! Really looking forward to trying this.
Last one is the Arjans. Slowly getting fatter........
ENJOY!
Somewhere in the middle-ish, just before the CHMOG specific pics, there's a few pics of the shrunken heads of the PC...
Not complaining; just the difference in size!!! I'll never get used to it...
Cheers!

And just for the record... Starting to see signs of some deficiency or something in the leaves of the Tuts.. Still no pH checks!!! No Pics..
And possibly in the Arjans.. Smaller bud leaves a bit dark and shriveled.. Hoping for N toxicity, which is easy. Could be just sativa stuff...
Good 4 weeks to go on her, so I hope all is well....

Hey guys... Sorry, been flat out like a lizard drinking, or just plain too tired/lazy after work in this heat.. Definitely into the "brutal" range here lately; not just "fucken" hot.. 33/35/36/38C depending on where you are.. And around 80% RH lately; but no rain! Can't sleep cos it's only getting down to like 24/25C.. Flopping on the couch after chores (and a couple beers!), wolfing down kilos of food cos I don't eat much during the day when it's hot.. I've lost 12 kg in 3 months..down from a healthy 85/87.. I pretty much just trim hedges and topiaries all day. Falling asleep at 8pm, then tossing and turning till 5/6am.... Ah; life in the sub-tropics. I hate summers now! Europe spoiled me. I love the cold. I grew up in THE tropics (FNQ), but I can't handle it anymore.....!
Got about 50 pics; I'll try to put em up today when I get a chance...
Hope y'all are well.... Those of you in the Southern Hemisphere take it easy!! Feb's gonna be harsh!!
