    Nine Pound Hammer

    Cold rain last evening followed by heavy dew. Some of the lawn had ice on it this morning. Hit her with BT a couple days ago. Sprayed her down with the last of my Dr Earth fungicide at dawn today as a preventative. One small side branch is hanging by a thread, I’ll pull it later today when...

    Thursday is looking a bit troublesome here. 1-2 inches of rain possible with strong winds, possible severe t-storms. Then a strong cold front next week with temps possibly getting down near freezing. ‘Tis the season…

    Nine Pound Hammer

    Been 2.5 weeks since most of the plant snapped off. The remaining lower level branches are filling in pretty nicely, however. Thankfully the weather dried out after the 5 days of rain. Calling for storms Thursday, but I want to hold off a couple weeks before harvest if possible.

    Thankfully, and knock on wood, no PM issues with the weed. This was a solid year for the garden. Tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, eggplant, corn, canteloupe, and string beans all yielded well. The sunflowers, however, were a disaster. I wanted to border portions of the garden with sunflowers to...

    Just went through the worst stretch of early October weather I can recall for this neck of the woods. 5 days of cold rain and winds. 5 inches of rain total with temps in the 40s and 50s for the duration. Radar seemed to show us in the clear yesterday afternoon, so I sprayed Dr. Earth...

    I’m nursing along what’s left of my plant. If I can keep her healthy and avoid any further weather damage, I should still be able to make this grow worthwhile. Sprayed with BT yesterday. Forecast is for cold rain, possibly heavy, over the weekend, and showers Monday and Tuesday…also gusty...

    Saving what I can after the wind snapped off about 80% of the plant, which of course included all the nicest buds…ughhh

    Awesome. Mine was looking so sweet too. I’ve been growing since the mid 90s, and this plant was as nice as any I can recall. Down the shitter now. Good luck finishing yours up.

    Despite all the ties, the wind took its toll. She survived 2 days of 30+ mph gusts but snapped off about a half hour ago. Fuck.

    Nine Pound Hammer

    Haven’t had any rain the past few days, but did have some breezy conditions. Sprayed BT yesterday which added some weight to the branches. Checked the garden today, and a couple big branches on the middle of the plant were partially snapping off. The twine ties kept the branches from...

    Lost a relatively large lower level branch after yesterday’s inch of rain. Calling for possible heavy rain and severe storms tonight. Just Tied a bunch of branches to the main trunk for support, and added a stake and tie for the plant itself. Trying to nurse her through tonight, then the...

    Nice pics, guys. Good luck finishing these girls off. My plant is at least 6’6”. I had to top her a bunch of times, or she’d be pushing 8’. Rainy and drizzly today, weather looks unsettled into Tuesday AM. However, extended forecast calls for mostly sunny and dry after that. Last year was...

    Had a 9 lb hammer seed left over from last year’s grow. Thankfully, and knock on wood, we haven’t had the storms like last year. We did have almost 3 inches of rain earlier in the week, but the buds were still small enough to avoid damage. The buds are filling in pretty rapidly now. Going to...

    Well, fought off the mold during the first week of drying as best I could. Days were cloudy and damp, nights foggy at times. I split up the canopy, and did some trimming each day to aid in air flow. Opened up the shed doors for an hour or 2 each day to allow I n fresh air. There was about a...

    Wish I could! Running an extension cord to the shed would have the wife and kids questioning what I’m doing! Although I could have done some if that when they were at work/school.

    Back in the day I used dry them whole, then trim. Was fortunate to never have mold issues. The past several years I’ve been trying to trim earlier, as time permits, as I have more obligations. Less time sit for hours on end trimming. I also decided to try to trim sooner after having mold...

    I know, I wish I could, but the shed is the best I can do. Not only do I grow in stealth mode from the neighbors and Johnny law, but I hide what I do from the wife and kids. Lol. 2 years ago I lost a lot of White Widow colas when I harvested and hung damp plants. I did some trimming today...
