Thank you HG.

Pardon my absence. I've been having some pain issues for the last four or five days so I haven't been able to post.
I couldn't really stand to look at a screen for very long much less try to communicate effectively.

I'm feeling a bit better today. Thank goodness.


Anyway...
Y'all came here for the plants.

The Blueberry continues to yellow and look ever so slightly worse as far as her top fans go. Buds are still building nicely and that's what we mostly care about, right!?! Lol.
I am a bit worried about mold. Once my buds get to a certain size I seem to have issues and these are at that size.
I may attempt to open them up a bit for airflow.

Peppermint Kush is falling all over this morning. I'll try to remember to stake her up later this evening.
She's the closest to harvest out of my three flowering plants.

Gotta do some work on my veg tent. I have neglected all of the plants in there, just splashing them with water so they don't die. It couldn't be helped. I was in bad shape.
Some have stretched like crazy and need to be replanted since they have fallen down on themselves.
I'll try to not kill anyone. Lol.
I'll have pics of those gals and the Varin later.

I'm gonna try to get some of my chores done. I'm pretty far behind. Hopefully I can manage my pain a bit better today and get something accomplished.
Fingers crossed.

Hope y'all are well.

Good afternoon @Virgin Ground your garden looks lovely today.
You mentioned mold. Yeiks
How is your air circulation?
Are you able to drop the rh at all.
I'd hate to see anything chopped off those beautiful ladies at this point.
But better than mold.
Hope you are well my friend.

Stay safe
Bill
 
looking choice VG. take care of yourself.

Sorry to hear about your pain level, hope it's getting better.

I have had good success mitigating upper canopy humidity (if the buds get moldy, this is the mold zone, despite that usually it's the underneath with the higher RH) by using fans up top. If you have an oscillating fan that'll cover that space and hit the tops, they work really well to keep the buds shedding their moisture as quickly as possible. Moving air will dry them quicker regardless of RH level. I use the big boy you've seen, but have also used a bunch of littler ones. The important things is to try and keep the colas moving, gently swaying, like when you first use the fan in veg and get your young plant to start jiggling around. If you have that it will help. That's all I got. Lol.

I just started re-doing all the things some things we did to our house 35+ years ago :rofl: . One room down!:woohoo:. Slow and steady with lots of breaks!
 
I'm vacationing from my normal migraine issue this week luckily! Last week not so much. I feel you hon! The Forum may be helping, I hammer it when applicable. I'm not sure.
What I am sure of is, the chiropractor I see is helping the most of any of the things so far as I can tell. She's been taking her thumbs and breaking up the hard muscle where it connects to the back of my skull along with the regular chiro tune up. Once a week lately. I'm lucky to be on medicare now, they pick up a lot of the bill my insurance won't. Work the good times best we can and screw the bad dear.:circle-of-love:

Hi Bill.
My air circulation is good. I have a small but very powerful industrial fan in there. My rh is only at 35% in that tent. It's the density and size of the buds that I'm gonna have issues with.
I have opened up the buds on previous plants to help with the circulation within the tops. Bud rot isn't fun. I've lost entire plants to it before.

It's been a rough week, bluter.
I'm doing my best to balance between work and and rest. Unfortunately I have a deadline that I have to meet this week and pain isn't going to change that.

On a positive note....my general neglect hasn't killed any plants yet!

Aw...crap. That isn't true.
Forgot about that one plant....
I'll explain below.

My plants are swaying really good. They actually have a little windburn.

It's just the size and density I'm having issues with. Opening them up will help a lot.

I'm overwhelmed at all we have to do. I'm going to purge my house of anything I haven't use in the last three years. It's city clean up and they'll haul away just about anything you have on your curb for free.
Deadlines suck, especially when you aren't feeling well.

Lots and lots and lots of breaks!!

Glad that the chiro is helping you.
Was really hoping that the Forum would help you more. It helps me the most when I take it at the first sign of an attack. Once you're already in migraine-land it's hard to bring the inflammation back down.

My neck is so bad that I won't let anyone touch it. If they push in the wrong place it's excruciating.
 
Plants...

Some good and some bad.

Let's start with the bad.

My little Critical auto has passed. She just wasn't right from the start. I thought for a bit there that she was going to grow out of her issues. Her first set came in normal. Looked at her this morning and she's a goner.
RIP Critical auto

Not a lot of time left on the Peppermint Kush.
Varin still looks like she has time left but she is supposed to be full sativa. Maybe she's done and just tossing out foxtails until I chop her.
I promise that I'll scope her soon. Lol.
Blueberry is fat and looks like trouble to me..

Hope y'all have a great day. I gotta get my fanny in motion and get something accomplished.
:passitleft:
 
those are building out incredible. some sativas don't quit until you pull out the scissors. some will frustrate and hermie if you let them go too long. keep an eye on the trichs, they can also be tricky. i've had a couple sativas that barely showed amber 120 days in when done.

I had two seeds do that. I never really figured out why. Pure white and dead. After years of mulling I can only think that I didn't wet my soil enough to liven up enough microbes to make the plant mineral connection.

Yeah. Thats exactly what I was thinking. I'm busy for the next few days so I'll assess her this weekend.
I think she has some time according to the breeder estimates. Something around 10 days or so.

She is a pretty plant. Getting some crispy leaves up top though.
I'll just pluck the worst ones off. I hate getting crispy plant material caught in my trichs.

You are growing really fat colas there woman! Nicely done on all of them. :woohoo:

Sorry about the dead sprout but the rest are looking headed for fatcolaville like the oldens. Get the scope out on that Varin just out of curiosity anyway...like you said it might do that forever!


Nanner or new calyx or pistil collection on this PK shot?

Will do. Was planning on doing it this morning but life had different ideas. I had to take my pup into the emergency vet this morning.
He's ok. He crushed his windpipe with his collar this morning. He was trying to chase a cat.
They checked him out and gave him some pain reliever. I decided that while we were there that he should probably get his booster shots and heartworm testing done as well as getting him a flea and tick preventative.
$$$$ my wallet hurts.

That is a collection of new pistils coming in.
That Peppermint Kush is done.
She'll have to wait a few days until I have time to chop, process and dry her.
After the 21st I should have more time. I'm on a pretty tight schedule until then.
 
So sorry to hear about the damage to both your puppy's windpipe and your wallet. :(

It sucks to have to spend cash right now but the pooch has to have his needs met like the rest of us.
I'm trying to be super frugal right now. I have a lot of house to fix and not enough $$ to do it all.
We knew this was coming up. Best to get it done. I'd hate for him to get heartworm. We live on a marsh. You can imagine how thick the skeets get here.
