What did you accomplish today?

[Chunky Stool]

So I helped a buddy trim a couple of lbs today and saw a few strange things. Advice is welcome!
1) This particular strain has relatively small stems & big dense buds. Because of this, many of them were slumped over so much, they were horizontal. So the light only hit one side of the bud, which made them two-tone. Top side was purple & bottom was green. Is this normal?
2) Trichomes were still mostly clear even though it was obviously time to chop. (buds were starting to pop bananas.)
Is it the strain or the environment? Anyone else seen this?
3) I noticed several droplets of what looked like sap. Light yellow & sticky. Kind of like pine tar but thinner.
This REALLY confuses me. Weed sap is a new concept for me. Most of it was on stems, but I did find a drop on one of the buds. WTF is going on??? Might be a good thing, might not. Dunno. What do you think? If it was outdoors, my first guess would be that it's somehow related to insect activity -- but this is indoors and completely insect free.

I had this sap once. Never knew what it ever was.

That's the stuff!
I wonder if it's smokeable? Definitely didn't come from trichomes so I doubt if it's a cannabinoid.
We've both grown this strain before and not seen this. The only difference this run is that he switched to Mills and used their feeding schedule.
He bought the entire line of products and it wasn't cheap. One liter of Vitalize is $300!

What strain?

Silica and fans will help. I like to have air flow on seedlings shortly after breaking ground. Not hard. Just enough to make them dance. Silica will cause thicker tissue growth. Good for everything from pest, drought resistance and strength.

Strain was Afgooey.

I would have to research that strain. Some strains just grow thinner stems.

Thin stems are fine, but the two tone buds look strange. Purple on one side & green on the other. (Green was the dark side.)

 

[Sir Napsalot]

I'd take care of it myself; traps first, if that fails then gotta kill them. Be careful though, raccoons can be rabid. Then seal up any possible entry ways

Ah. Thought the leaning limbs were part of the question.

I would think the two tone is normal in these circumstances.

The sap. Not sure if its called sap. I've seen it. Normally after topping or other techniques that break the plant open. I normally water before hand.

Its called guttation.
I used to get it here and there every crop when i used to add carboload and or other sugars. The sap is some tastey stuff. Super sweet. I don’t add sugars to my nute soup anymore, but will still get an occasional drop here and there once in a great while.

If I'm gonna finish putting the roof on the piano, i figure i should take a power nap or finish tomorrow morning. Alls thats left is the ridge cap, and I'm good 18pk in and just got high. Prob not a good idea to be up there lol.


Got a late start. But it took me fricken 3.5 hrs to shingle 2 squares lmao! I'm fucking fired! Tomorrow, or this evening when I'm done. I'm firing myself.

 

[Aeroknow]

Such a fucking tiny roof, there's no walking on it to shingle. All about ladders

Hey bro, i was worried about you. Did that fucked up fire get anyone you know?

 

[Aeroknow]

Yeah, fuck that shit. I aint a power napper. I'm gonna continue to get fucked up and bug the fuck out of you guys. I might even post about 10 songs in a row on atomic squat. Fucki it.

Thanks for asking. Yea wife's cousin lost everything. Had like less then a minute to get out.
Step daughter who was at a girlfriends house had to evacuate in her car following her friend. She panicked and ditched her ride in the fire and jumped into her friends ride. So her car was charred (but she's ok).
Wild couple of days. Packed 2 cars just in case, but was never ordered to evacuate.
The sights around this city are crazy. Never seen anything like it.

Dude, so sorry bro. Sounds like you had it good though. I've also been close to having to abandon a grow. This shit is fucked!

I was without power for 5 days at one of my pads from a fire here. It fucked me, but could have been much much worse. Within a few miles, houses burned to the ground. I drive there this morning and it still smells horrible the way in. So depressing. Glad you're good dude.

This is more of a fml moment. Kids wanted a pizza. Directions say to put it on center rack. I did and the crust broke. All the cheese drained through then burnt on the bottom of the inside of the oven.

Could have been worse than having to scrape burned cheese off the oven though.

We went through a mandatory evac years ago in AK - the last thing I did was nail down a couple of sprinklers to the roof of the house & turn them on as I was watching 100' tall flames blowing up spruce trees just a couple of hundred yards away.
We forgot the kids shoes we left so fast.
