Late Breaking Journal

[Phytoplankton]

So I popped these in Mid may and vegged them a couple weeks in my tent, then they went outside, so no seedling pictures. Natural light, in a a 7x7 greenhouse. After dealing with bud rot, heat stress, smoke taint (from all the fires), a well supplying brine instead of water,and minor issues with the borg over the past few years, this year I took the roof off the greenhouse, keeps it much cooler and much dryer, seems to keep the pests down, and this year the water is decent. Almost forgot, these are photo Mimosa's, though it's tough to see at this point, they are getting a little purple hue to them.

So here's a pic a couple weeks after tranplanting them into fresh FFOF soil. BTW anyone in the North SF bay area, I've got a great place to get FFOF, 3 CU Ft. bags (twice normal size) $20!!! PM me.

Aug 14

And again Aug 25, preflower started

Now in flower, Sept. 3

Buds are really forming now Sept. 8

And another Sept 8

Looking good you've had it rough for a while. Were the fires close? hopefully this grow will be a stress free one. Keep posting updates!

Were the fires close?

Oh yeah, fires were all around me, never in any danger, only because where I live I'm literally surrounded by water on three sides. But I got to watch them, and some days the sun was just a red ball through the smoke. It happened 4 years in a row, everything I grew smelled like a campfire. Every morning I'd wake up and find stuff like this on my porch:

This year, the smoke isn't too bad, very high up, the fires are a couple hundred miles away, but instead I have mountain property in the path of the Dixie Fire (almost 1 million acres burning). Been under an evacuation warning for three weeks!

I can’t even imagine being that close to that stuff Phyto! We were in CO a few weeks ago and couldn’t even see the mountains from Denver. Awful. Sorry you hit so many snags, but maybe you used them all up on the last grow - here’s to wishful growin!

 

[Phytoplankton]

My indoor grows have gone well, but I really prefer outdoor grows, bigger plants, more yield and less work, basically fertilized and water a couple times a week. There's something about growing in natural sunlight I like, the downside of course, is only one chance per season.

 

[enchanted65]

One day in my perfect world I will grow outdoors. Glad you are safe and well!

Just and update from 9/13:

Another update 9/28: All the pistils are brown, most trichromes are cloudy with about 10% amber. Incredible smell! Still think it has a little swelling to do. I'm really liking this strain (Mimosa) advertized as a "early finisher" and it looks to be true. So far, knock on wood, no bud rot or critter issues.

9/30, some close-up bud pics, sorry for the so-so pics, new lense and the wind was blowing. I'm thinking just a few days.

Beautiful

Found a couple very small patchs of bud rot, so they came out, always nice to have em hanging:

Now just a waiting game for drying/curing. I did trim up a couple branches, and ended up getting 3.75 oz., but it's still at 80% humidity, so I'm figuring about 2.5-3.0 oz once dry to 60% rh.

Bummer about the Bud rot woohoo on a good harvest

The rot was minimal, less than a couple grams. The plants were ready anyway.

 

[Phytoplankton]

So I trimmed it all up and it’s in jars. Final weight for two plants was about 24 oz. I figure another 15-20% weight loss during curing, so about 20 oz. Put this journal in the books! Next up a tent grow.

Last update on the fires. The Dixie fire which was about a million acres, was stopped about 300-400 yards from my mountain property, had it jumped the two lane hi-way I’d of lost three houses!

Hope all is well in your world.

How did this grow turn out?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

If you need any help with posting photos, please read our Photo Gallery Tutorial.

I am moving this to Abandoned Journals until we get updates.

So sorry I didn’t officially close it out. The final yield was great, the quality was excellent. This was the last outdoor grow for a while.
