This looks like fire! you grew her out perfectly! Was she also grown in Monterey weather? I'm from there and wish I could move back. I miss the coast.

Last Tropicana Poison down, think this one turned out the best of all I've grown of this strain over the last few years. Probably not the most resinous but definitely the biggest flowers and hard as a rock. Pretty mild smell compared to the other one I harvested a few days ago, barely any citrus but really sweet with some mild skunk. Looking forward to sampling this one
That's a wrap for the season, week or two drying then the long grind trimming. Nice work everyone there were some good looking plants in the thread this year.

Weather is still somewhat cooperating. Going to try to go another week. Cherry gar Se ya from ethos genetics.

Wow, you guys are going deep into the fall. We haven't had anything close to a frost yet here in midcoast Maine but I harvested everything due to all the rain and moisture. Was able to let everything finish but botrytis definitely reduced the harvest on a few of the plants. Plant disease specialist at our university cooperative extension told me last summer that botrytis was wreaking havoc all over the state because of all the rain.
The Northern Lights, Pine Tar Kush, and Gold Warp all turned out nice--I've sampled all three. And for the first time I managed to harvest some seeds: Pine Tar Kush, Northern Lights, and a cross between the two. Excited to grow some of those next year (@thumper60 I owe you some seeds for the Gold Warp you sent me last spring, DM me and we'll arrange a shipment).
Good work everybody in what was a year of challenging weather for a lot of us.

What kind of aroma did you get from the Pine Tar Kush?

Hmmm...not sure how to describe it. It's heavy...I wouldn't say it smells "piney" but it still has to cure, just went into mason jars last week. But extremely fragrant with a sort of exotic spicy smell and nice smooth smoke too with full effects. Smells somewhat like the Tomahawk I grew a couple years back (Stardawg X Gorilla Glue#4).
I have grown 4 different Pine Tar Kush plants and they were all different, in appearance as well as aroma. The first one was incredibly piney and sticky, easy to see how it got its name! The high was surprisingly cerebral, definitely not couch lock .

Interesting. This one definitely got colorful in the final weeks, lots of purple. Very sticky but wouldn't call it "piney" smelling. Then again I just recovered from my first bout with covid (managed to steer clear for 3 years but with a kid in school it was just a matter of time I guess) so my sense of smell is kind of muted.
Same as you on the non-couch-lock effect. That may have to do partly with harvest timing. Wish it finished earlier like the Northern Lights did. Will be curious to see how the cross between the two turns out.
That first, really piney PTK finished in mid Sept. for me, but outdoor stuff here finishes earlier down here. Most stuff seems to start flowering in late July for me. What kind of cross did you do, which was the male?

I forget, what latitude are you at? Be nice if mine were flowering late July, it's usually well into August. The Northern Lights got rolling right around August 1 and finished by third week September which was terrific.
I brushed a little Pine Tar Kush pollen on one of the Northern Lights branches and did the same with some Northern Lights pollen on a Pine Tar branch. For some reason the seeds off the Northern Lights are all kind of pale-looking, whereas the ones off the Pine Tar are darker. Wonder if the Northern Lights aren't quite fully developed. The flowers were definitely ready but maybe the seeds needed another week or two. Or maybe that's just genetics? We'll find out!
I'm at 36 degrees. My PTK seeds from a seed increase are also very pale, also concerned about their viability. I didn't know as much about growing and seed making back then, and I haven't tried to sprout any of them.

Would love to try pine tar kush an the Northern light get me some beans I will back cross them this winter If a fine a real keeper i will reveg an clone it.
Do you think ill get a pound from this?..... just kidding, had these extra clones so on approx. 9-1 planted them here under lights set at 18 hrs. On approx. 9-15 switched to approx. 12 hrs, these pics are from today. I hate throwing the extra clones away, don't expect much from this.

Minimal yield loss due to mold. I have the trichogramma homies to thank for that. Only mold I did find was due to ripe seeds and the tule fog creeping’ in. Pulled ‘em just in the knick of time. 
First tote is filthy.

Things dont stop here just because the ground if frozen. We grow year round here heres my first run of the winter 1400 watts of leds over a 4x10 table 18 plants not to shabby for 19 days 12-12. All reg seeds that I breed for a few yrs candy train x Geleto started 40 to get 18 good females. these get cut 9 weeks an table is filled same day with 5-6 week old seedling straight to flower. I have back crossed these plants so many times they look like clones in flower.

The fun never stops, huh?
Weighed the harvest and ended up with a pound and a half of Northern Lights, about 6 oz. of Pine Tar Kush, and just an ounce of the Gold Warp (threw most away due to rot). Not a huge haul but far more than I need so plenty to share and give away.
Thinking I may give up the fabric pots at this point--lot of extra work compared to plants in the ground and moving them into the shed during fall rain/fog wasn't as effective as I'd hoped...when the air gets humid, it doesn't really matter if they're under cover or not in terms of botrytis. Next year everything goes in the ground.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Don't forget to enjoy a nice fattie to commemorate the harvest.
