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?

Thanks, too bad you can't post the fragrance. Stuff I have here will odorize your whole house if you crack the jar for a few minutes! Seems very heavy on the pinene.

That sounds like my first Pine Tar Kush plant! Super strong pine smell!

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.

This first is Cherry GarSeeYa is much later than last years plant, but the 3 crosses from it look good.
I love the sativa-leaning runt, it's just all buds and 2 weeks earlier.

i agree. stem rubs aren't giving any hint of bubblegum, and everyone says it's a very strong odor.

Everything is in full flower mode. Septoria is under control and has stopped spreading, it hasn’t rained for like 10 days, and doesn’t look like we’re getting any rain for the next 10 days…gonna be 70s and dry, high 40s at night. Pineapple Chunk still going strong. I have been noticing a ton of caterpillars though, been squeezing tf out of them every chance I can get. noticed a bunch of shit/half eaten pistils already on all plants but the pineapple chunk…weird…I have B.T.k but did not use it because of the spreading septoria, trying to keep leaves as dry as possible…so now I have a dilemma, spray b.t.k every 5 days and risk septoria spread or deal with the cats and hope for the best..

It hasn't rained here in 2 weeks and been 100 degrees about every day, and the septoria seems to have quicken its spread! Just have to focus on the plants that do well and write off the remainder..

No, it is not bud rot, in the usual sense.

Found this big ass dude near my grow. Supposedly common, I’ve never seen one before!

Hornworm looking for a tomato. The hummingbird moth that they develop into is a true freak of nature. Looks like a winged shrimp that acts like a hummingbird with moth wings
