Stunger's Last Stand: Banned To The Balcony!

[Stunger]

After the pollination attempt the the hairs shrink back and go darker yellow? I believe that’s a sign they have been pollinated. Before they are reaching g out into the air hoping to get some of that sweet sweet pollen. Lol.

Thanks Reave, I had previously successfully selectively pollinated plants 2 years ago, from memory it was about the 1st of March when the pistils were all pretty much white and intact, I noticed in the following days that the pistils on those colas looked more shrinking/dying off more than the other non pollinated stems, so there looked like a difference.

This year I pollinated later, about the 9th March (I think), by which stage the majority of pistils were already showing dying off signs on the colas, so I found I couldn't tell any real difference. But now 3 weeks later, and seeing a number of enlarged bracts it makes me quietly hopeful that some pollination was in fact achieved.

They're looking awesome mate. Grown as nature intended too. Could you fit a little stealth cabinet indoors to play around with during the winter months?

Cheers Vet, I am pleased with the vigour of this year's grow as it gives me some confidence with the evolution and progression of my organic soil mix.

I do find myself thinking of a stealth cabinet as you suggest, or something to carry out a grow regardless of the time of the year. I really need a man cave where I make the rules!

Hi Stunger, man this grow is major league! How close they are now! It's a pleasure to see your work! I remember my strawberry cough being a late one to fatten up but she will.

Thank's Otter, they are getting close now, I am still picking off a few caterpillars each day, the spraying has helped but there's still a few around, altho far as I can tell the girls are still managing pretty fine.

There was some fine patches in the weather today so I snuck out for a few close up pics of the 3 girl's buds.

For a quick dry I just chopped up a little bit of early Mango Sherbert, it is sticky and gooey and should be ready by tomorrow.
Be well everyone, and I hope you're enjoying some nice buds.

I was hesitant to start an indoor grow, now I'm glad I did.
I put a small tent in my already crowded home office. I also gave up 2 of the 3 on the patio and agreed to set up a greenhouse for the 1. I just finished putting together the greenhouse, I still need to secure it to the deck. Will probably elevate it with some fence post scraps I have and secure to the scraps. It is sort of an eyesore so it'll probably not be used after this season. I bought one that had a decent frame and the ability to reorder the foil for under $100. we'll see how it goes.

I think it's great what you're doing. Having the ability to grow any time of the year is very attractive, no doubt on that.
That's quite a big greenhouse you got for 1 plant, something far smaller would probably do the job and make much less of a visual statement.

I looked at smaller houses, they were so cheap looking with green plastic and flimsy frames. This is a 1.80 x 1.80 (6'X6').

Ok, in the pic I thought it was larger than that, so it sounds fairly reasonable.

That's 6 feet square? No way! How big are those pavers?

9"x 9" It really is what it is. Maybe the different height parapet walls throw it off. Its 1.8 M x 1.8 and 1.8 at the peak. Going to grow a biggun in a 10 gal bag. Last year I couldn't up-pot.

Different angle.

 

[InTheShed]

Thanks! Still looks more like 8x10 to me though.

 

[stinker]

1 more. I taped it to lay it out. I does seem large on our large patio though. I was reduced from 3 on the patio to 1 in the greenhouse and a tent in my office I do with what I like. Cant complain, I may fill that house up. 1st quasi confab on here.

we took over Stungers journal - sorry!

Sounds like a law firm! Hows everyone today? Wow! The view from the window at your balcony is awesome, Stung but holy cow sting! What a beautiful garden!
The only thing missing is a full tent and that's coming I'm sure.
Smile and stay stoneder.

No worries. I'm happy for my journal to have some of those crisp clean views of the snow on the Alps!

Law firm? Haha, yes it does sound like that Fred, altho my balcony is probably more reasonably described as lawless!

 

[DutchinAB]

Oh gosh, having flashbacks to when Mrs Dab had me watching Suits. I can only imagine the shenanigans SS&S would get up to

Looks like a beauty spot you get to call home, @stinker!!

And be careful they don’t freeze up on you in that weather with all that frost on there, @Stunger!! Looking tasty!

1st of April update

It's been overcast and raining most of the day. Temps getting cooler. Today I tried to get some more closeups on the trichomes but each time it started raining again. The Mango Sherbert from the breeder notes it suggests it would have been ready 2 weeks ago, but on my last close up look I didn't see any amber mostly just cloudy with clear. We have some days of sunshine forecast ahead of this rainy weather, so I am keen for them to be out for at least another week if it gets sunny. I had a vapecap of some early Mango Sherbert, it was a lowly piece of 'B' grade bud that had been quick chop dried but it was very good, which is encouraging for the main canopy bud when dried and cured.

It might be raining here, but I hope the sun is falling on your plants where you are!

That balcony looks nice! Beautiful grow man. Love this journal.
