End of summer here in Maine...nights getting down into the fifties, getting dark early. Nice balance of sun and occasional rain overall, although we did have a week of fog and gray that seemed to slow things down a bit with the plants. But they're doing fine. Everything's starting to really flower now except the Pine Tar Kush, which is taking its sweet time. Could be a late finish, like last year, which was pretty tough those last couple weeks. The PTK x Northern Lights cross I did last summer is getting going now, so maybe that will show some of the wonderful Pine Tar Kush character with an earlier finish.

Collecting pollen now and will pollinate some branches this week (except the Pine Tar Kush will probably have to wait).

Been experimenting with "duck pond" water for the ones in the ground mostly. Basically rainwater that my wife's 3 ducks hang out in each night. Not a bad liquid fertilizer.

Just starting to get some nice fragrance but it's subtle. Not for long...

Seemed like you were disappointed with the PTK on your first run. Worked out better outdoors? What do you think of the flower? I was really impressed with the bud I harvested last year. Lets see some pics of the plants and the flower.

We're down to a little over 13 hours of daylight here now and the PTK still isn't really in full flower yet. I guess with your depo setup that doesn't matter. Do you drop it right to 12 hours?

zone 6B; started these the first week of april. there were 10 total, lost 7 to neglect and 1 was a male that i pulled a few weeks ago. not sure the strain as tags were lost a long time ago. could be either indiana bubblegum or @BobBitchen chernobyl. hoping that strong odors will start to clue me in soon.
