Up potted. I have not fed this girl any slats yet and won't unless she shows deficiencies. Just happy frog and tap water. First clone cut will get pushed hard to learn here limits of healthy nutrient uptake.
Going to shift the focus of my home grow to learning these genetics. Nurturing a dead mans legacy, I get off on that kinda shit.
Got 3 deformed leafs in. Could be a cal or fe deficiency, a random mutant leaf, or caused by interference from my training cable/wieght. Not enough for me to start any additives unless there is further progression

This thing appears to have burnt my nugs. It smells like volcano vapor. Did not help condense the nugs the way jar curing dose the are still kinda light fluffy nugs if anything softer less sticky flower easily flakes down. Make better assessment in the daytime and assume user error if it did indeed fry my buds
Is that just for decarbing bud to use for edibles?

YouTube instructions video used flower. I didn't watch the whole review knowing it wouldn't show me anything negative, cooks at 250f which seem high to me. Use to boil my bho on q heat pad at 120f, never ran a heat press but don't those normally only hit like 210? Friend I got it on loan from used it mostly for wax and gummys.
My haze has been jarred for over 3 weeks now already and probably didn't need a full cycle
Smell proof lid dose not work unless you attach with logo facing forward. Made half its run before I reversed it figuring it was just a broken seal.
I'll take it to my out door spot tomorrow and run some of the thorsberry though it, see what it dose to some moist buds

Two small plants pulled early. Many lessons learned and improvements to be made.
The fact that these lady's face extream high and low temps often in the same day and remained looking healthy without throwing naners is impressive in its own right.
Every degree beyond confort and every minute of exposure matters
Plants need to go outside 2-3 weeks sooner next year so I don't rush my harvest if they need extra time.
Grow site is 20mins from my house but adjacent to my work and moms house. My son will be in daycare and I'll be more able to get there when the morning sun crest and heat build-up starts to open walls. Some days I did not make it til 1030 and temps had already spike to the 90s-100s.
Same in the afternoon once the afternoon sun drops past its creast heat building stops and temps drop to ambient quickly by 4-430. My work schedule has changed so I should be able to close tent by 230-3 hopefully holding a few extra degrees overnight
Did not have a proper fitting tarp, will buy a single tarp that will cover whole box and instal a pullie system so it can be done as a 1man job. Tried to make a patchwork cover before the plants when outside the 1 night of test did not show any effect.
Frame is on wheels I can bring it out from the house a bit and still not be visible to the public.
Resident oak tree hogging all the sun can be dead limbed and pruned this fall.
I got a bunch of bricks from a demolished house and some black paint can use as a Sunstone boarder around the plants and order some survival blankets to wrap the pots in overnight. Got a shit load of windows I can frame around 3 sides to provide more light magnification at day and more insulation at night
Target known frost tolerant strands and pops seeds/cut clones in early November/ late October RECOMENDATIONS WELCOME.
research leaders so far
kush strains (hindu) cheese strains(uk/power) frisian duck/mist

Still looks like it over bakes the bud and makes it way to flakey. Did not bake the taste and smell out as bad as it did the haze, (she dose have a berry taste but I'll wait til the hanging buds dry and cure to asses) but this is not the product for me has to be to prep for baking or extraction

Hanging buds are dried so I gave a pre cure taste. Just a general sweet taste smooth at first but with good expansion fills the lungs easily very relaxed feel. Definitely should have waited til at least today to chop
Harvested bud dried out to 42gs. Probably left about 1/3 of the bud to reveg. A far cry from the lb per plant one hopes for. Thar leaves a lot of room for improvement next year. More attentive temp regulations, better light control and patients should make up most of that. My first out door grow I tried something most experienced cultivators advise against and still develop healthy flowers so I can be disappointed and prideful such is the journey of the learning process. Trim job is shit bc that is the one step in the process I don't enjoy.

The folks down in Richmond can go fuck themselves with this arbitrary 4 plant limit. I'm a lover of variety and lack impulse control. I get my hands on new genetics and I just have to drop a bean or two. I get ready to flip a sexy teen into flower I have to cut clones to fill numbers wherever I have them. Obviously I wind up giving a lot of plants away, but that's ok. I was taught to belive
1. sharing is caring
2. Sew much reap much
3. Teach a man to fish
My mom dose not have good space to flower but dose have a real nice sun window in her kitchen so I leave saplings in small cups there they don't grow tall but put on roots I can keep them about 6 weeks without stunning.
This girl and 2 of the grandaddy purps will probably to my MD homie who gifted me the flower next month when they go legal

Now she is growing balls. FUCK!
The only befits of having to spend 2hrs neutering my he she. I finally had a strong enough collection of sap for my canna immune olfactory glans to recognize the oder. I'm gonna have to confirm @MtRainDog report. It is a strait citrus smell not sweet at all maybe even a lil sour reminds me more of an unripe tangerine then of oranges. Think about opening a big can of emergant-C reminds you of orange but it's not orange

Not weed related.
Wanting to focus more on my canibus gardening this year my side of the vegetable garden this year is almost all volunteers. I planted a row of marigolds (only non consumable plant I grow) and 2 pots of melons. I got many tomatoes, at least 1 squash. About 5 probably cucumber vines 1 tiny peper sprout and I'm not sure it's done sprouting yet

Hey @VaSmile nice lookin veggies. Good on you, because I am far less adept at growing veggies outdoors than weed indoors lol Really it’s I refuse to go out there and work come July and August. I’ve thought about doing some rain barrels and setting up some kinda pump on a timer drip irrigation but it always falls behind other house projects.

I just smoked my first sample of the orange bud this morning. Only 1 of 3 made it. Smell is pretty much as you described. The effect isn’t what I remember from the 90’s. This is more sedative and body focused. It’s reasonably potent, just not what I was expecting. Not bad at all in that department, but it was a pathetic yielder.

Ya know, in your picture I can’t really see any balls. I think I see a swollen bracht? It’s either a bad picture or my bad eyes lol

Bad pic she's hermie and seeded. Don't think she will be a pathetic yielded as she's got a canopy taking up almost my whole 4x4.
Veggie beds get a load of 50/50 mix each spring and that seems to be good enough feed to grow maters and cucs in the same spot each year. Got my auto and 1 photo in it to see how they do.. $40 a yard is a shit load better then the $15per foot I pay for happy frog..
water befor or after the heat of the day and harvest as you eat. I don't like doing a lot just enough that I can harvest my own brakefast for a month or 2 while I drink my morning coffee. This only takes a few plants of each thing you want. Started bigger beds a few years ago so my wife could make sauces, told her she's responsible for the excess.
Never had success with mellons before. Post some pics of the other side of the beds when I'm back home
