I go to the store in pittsfield to buy seeds there is always different strains and breeders. they have heavy hitters like Mephisto and Humboldt seed co along with a ton of small breeders in mass , they have bumped ethos to the second shelf(was on top for a while) but im still satisfied my entire pack is 6 different flavors they all Germed ,I just wish I vegged longer for some of my current grow I was going pheno hunting without taking any clones before flower and now that cotton candy will be gone forever (next time I'm trying for clones before flower ) this is the only reason I'll keep a strain for its eye popping autumn colors to me that is what I go for the beauty of cannabis
Some of the colors I’ve seen this year have blown me away. Not on mine but yours and others on here.

good to know the store is expanding the stock, I’ll have to stop in before next seasons outdoors.

honestly I didn't expect any of those colors they were a true treat. I expected maybe some purple il take some pictures of my sour diesel it went really purple too but with the calmag deficiency in flower she isn't super pretty. the cold snap still effected me as an indoor grower as I pull the outside air inside without any affect to the temp this is certainly helpful to cool my 1200 w setup but come winter I will have to really close my intake alot and burp the cold air inside . I do love to see all your colors you guys put out its like fireworks each pheno is so unique.

Hey guys, do you think I should wait another week to harvest? I’ve been dealing with caterpillars and some bud rot here and there but nothing to be alarmed about. I was hoping to stack on more weight but at what point do they stop stacking? How much of an increase can I get if I waited it out? I’d do it if it was worth it, it’s my first outdoor grow and I hear the last weeks are the most critical.

I’ve used my microscope and took a few pics from one of the top buds that snapped off one plant last week. Lots of Amber trichromes on the leafs but not as much on the buds per se. keep in mind this pic was taken last Thursday.

One more question... if I were to stagger my harvest, would it be better to harvest the plants with the purple/pale green and yellow leaves first and let the one with the more green and yellow leaves ripen?
My friend, I would say that you are in the harvest window. Directly. Great job, Id whack em, but thats me.
Especially, if you are seeing bud rot. If you see some, theres a lot more you dont see. Trust me, I took that advice and as soon as I started cutting I realized how bad it was. Lot of stalk rot which spreads quickly...

I have 4k cameras outside and in our greenhouse. It is all recorded on an NVR which holds two weeks of video. There is no monthly charge and I can always see what's going on from my phone. We have motion covering everything too but that is another system.
Oh nice... I need some ideas, so I can cut these cost.. I also think if I cancel, my cameras are useless.. Which fucking sucks!

OK, so we are on High Alert, Level Orange here! I was able to move a few plants under cover, and chopped a few. I noticed a little more bud rot and after throwing out some Grade A smoke that was now Grade Z, I decided to get to work.
First, I cut one of the plants that was furthest along. Then I cut one of the big cola plants because I saw some rot, wasnt until I had turned it upside down and was trimming I saw more. Then I got to the problem plant #2, which has PM Ive been treating with Cider vinegar, it had come back and was all over the plant, sooooo, for the first time in my life, instead of chucking her out, I carefully cut the branches, filled up a cooler, and added about a cup and a half of h202, one guy here said one cup wasnt enough per 5 gallons. I carefully soaked, plunged, submerged and then rinsed off the branches, then hung them in a seperate area from my other buds, just in case, with a fan on them.
Never tried this before, some say it works, some say it doesnt, Im hoping for the best.
I have 3 monsters still out there, but Im ready to go and chop them in the middle of a storm if need be. Sitting here having a coctail and a smoke break wondering if I should just say Eff it, knuckle under and whack dem bitches.
(Checking radar)
Sigh. Heading out to chop the best of the last. Looks like some Biblical shit headed my way.

I will give Ring a try.. I would like to not have useless shit.. And these cameras and window/door sensors were not cheap.. Sucks that I cannot use them after leaving.
Well if your tied into a contract, maybe just use the Ring for your cannabis patch? That way, you can keep an eye on the girls, and record w audio/visual/alarm whatever you want. Sounds like your invested in your security system. Would be wasteful to throw it away, but thats by design, Im sure.

I just have a monthly subscription and can cancel anytime. I have had it for over a year

Get the Ring. Its the shit, hooks right up to your wifi and goes right to your phone, no monthly fees. Youll love it
I would avoid anything connected to cell signal or internet. Really sucks about the weather. I need to feed and water mine. Dry as a bone after a day of decent temps, steady breeze and the 25 MPH gusts today.

I second the "Any photos". Easier.
