That sounds glorious! Getting into the high 30's here tonight and more rain coming. I either need to wait until these plants in the garage are done drying to harvest the rest or fix my drying hoophouse which got destroyed in a windstorm during this past winter.

 

Thanks man, I just kind of float my way aimlessly through life but it just seems to work out ok haha. I cant wait to see some finished dried buds of your plants. I like all the strains you chose. I kinda like working with m/f seeds of an unstable genetic lineage like I do because theres so many many phenotypes presented. Ive got such a range of smells right now its great. Congrats on making it through man. Im almost there. I need that $$$ bad too

 

I almost forgot about the cobs since i have been so busy. I need to get on getting some corn husks. Id like to follow along if you start a thread and maybe we could do it at the same time and compare results? You read waaaaay more than I did. By the way i still have those 2 small crappy plants we can expierment on harvesting techniques too. I know one i wanted to defoliate completely and let die and dry in ground. The other someone said something about girdleing or something? I dont rememeber. I dont really care if they die. My biggest top cola im watching closely because i bent it over to smell it and it just bent the stem like a super crop. I want to see if that cola gets extra trichome production from the added stress at the last minute.

 

Yup, still raining here too. I dont think it will ever stop. Safe travels on your trip man.

 

I cant take worrying about them anymore. They are getting poured on right now. Tommorow im moving the plants from the garage into the basement and harvesting the rest. Ill probably catch an earful and maybe a beatin' from the wife but she will get over it. Shes already pissed im drying them in the garage haha. She came home and her garage door opener didnt work and all the doors were on lockdown with chains so now she has to walk all the way around the house to our patio door to get in.

 

Yea i think so. I think i have to. Im starting to see some real worrying signs of bud rot.

 

Dang! I never have had a plant finish that quick

 

Howdy neighbor! Good to hear from ya. Im going to keep on doing the organic thing forever I think. Its just too easy at this point. I can get some ginormous plants by just having a good well draining soil and top dressing with quality organic nutrients. Add in an IPM and its almost fail proof. Cheaper too. I dont think I even put $300 into this grow. Let just say hypothetically I hit 20 lbs, that comes out to roughly .94 cents per oz. You need to get out in the sun somehow man, adds something to the bud you cant really quantify. Thanks for stopping in.

 

Theres so many ways to go about doing it and every one has their opinions on how it should be done/whats best. I can only say what ive done. A couple years ago i dug 3×3×3 holes and added peat and lime and some other amendments to it like compost and sand for drainage. Then I added a dry organic nutrients in the soil and mixed them in. I let that sit a couple weeks and planted. Back then i was making teas and feeding those as well as top dressing. Now all I do is add a few handfulls if gypsum and lime and Dr earth line dry organic nutrients, and alaskas best fertilizer. Then once they get established in the soil i start top dressing every 2 weeks with things like chicken manure compost, more Dr earth, blood/bone meal etc. Ill also sprinkle things like sulphor, gypsum and lime on the soil during the season. Keep them watered and thats pretty much it. Last year I had a 10ft plus plant had 9ft plus this year. I can get well over lb per plant in the center of my garden where there is good sunshine. Then just get your IPM going and youre good. I can help you for that with michigan weather.
