So I cut up the DDA branches into bugs and got a resourceful 26g almost dry. They're in a jar now with the lid open since it's still like 58% humidity in the air and with the lid closed after a couple hours was 69%

I'm cool with that for a practically hands off grow of this plant.

Took off the the stalk and branch pistils and ovaries and had a couple bowls full which hit pretty good. Since I've been without for some weeks now this was a welcome feeling. A little dazed and confused but also relieves the pain in my knee by giving an overall draping of warmth enveloping me like a cloud snuggie. Music has become a background soundtrack to my current activities on my phone.

Sounds like a winner to me!

That plus my recent standard combination of a strong Maduro and a beer or 3 has me living large on the deck listening to music and frogs in the trees. making the most of this fantastic weather before the cold sets in again. Good times.

The jar isn't helping drying much as the current RH is 63%. Gonna need to get the bovedas out to start inhaling some of that moisture. I'm roling it around every few hours but keeping the lid open for now. Was smelling too grassy this morning after being closed all night. Want some nice smelling bud again...
They weren't trimmed at all barely except for fan leaves that I was able to pull off with little effort. I guess that may contribute to their aroma...

Bovedas are for long term stability and not RH control. Definitely don't rely on them to get your flowers into the "safe" zone. The flowers will rot in a closed jar at 75%, Bovedas or not.

If the RH in the room is 63% dump the buds on a newspaper and leave them out all day.

And after a week of every other day or third day spraying essential oils on my plants I have started to get control of the mites and I think the AL is starting to look better. One or two more applications I think (I've diluted it even more by 1/3 the last round) and then I'll put some rosemary and clove oils into their water to infiltrate the soil a little too.

And CP continues to stretch. These have only been in flower for a little over 2 weeks (AL started early due to being attacked more I think).

 

[Schnookie]

Update 16 days in flower... still stretching some but slowing. hope these two stack thick. I realized I was a few days late in feeding the geo flower notes so they got about a 1/3 cup each which was probably like 2oz. Mixed into the top inches and waterEd deep this time. I'm hoping I've got the mites under control but I'll give another treatment tomorrow just to be safe and I added a small amount into their water so it will be repellant.

 

[Schnookie]

A day after new feeding from GeoFlora Flower with some cal/mag/sil water added since I use filtered water, they've jumped a little more in height even. I can probably bring the light up a little and will likely have to as there's not a whole lot more space above CP before she starts getting burned.

And AL might be overfed given the curling, but she got a still slightly smaller feed dose also due to being only 20" while CP is now up to 25." Buds are starting to thicken up and get a little frosty. A little Sweet Candy dose might be in the works soon.

Did you see my Boveda post above? I'd hate for the buds to be rotting!

Yep. I didn't have any bovedas handy anyway so I've been leaving jar open most of the day and will be putting them into a mesh tray to dry more overnight. It's raining here so humidity isn't coming down.

 

[InTheShed]

Put a fan nearby!

 

[Schnookie]

Well it's in the 30's % RH outside now in my locale so my interior has dropped to about 58% which is perfecto!

I've got a nice little hygrometer/thermometer sensor that I've deployed in a few locations. It's been cold a few nights but I think the girls like it...

Time to swap them left right and rotate again...

We're at 3 weeks in flower now...
Cherry Pie

Amensia Lemon

Cherry Pie looks like it might need more potassium?

Cherry Pie looks like it might need more potassium?

What indication are you coming to that conclusion? Color of the leaves?

 

[InTheShed]

Yes, the yellowing of the edges in flower can be a symptom:

 

[Schnookie]

These two seem to be getting ready to finish out now, surprised as it's only been what, less than 5 weeks in flower? Maybe it's the cold nights and the mites? Time to bring out the bud thickening nutes....

I'm gonna have to get the loupe out soon for Amnesia Lemon. She's been a funky one for the last month anyway...and probably started blooming a few days before Cherry Pie. I pulled off maybe a dozen dead-or-almost fan leaves but there's still a few hangers-on on AL.

AL buds looking pretty good...nothing thiCC like I was hoping but there should be still a couple weeks left.

And...nanners

CP definitely has more time than AL left...

Hi everyone. My son lost his battle yesterday with his bipolar and took his life. He moved back in with me a month ago in my new house to try and get a fresh start in a new place, but he felt isolated and...I don't know. I really miss him

Shnookie my heart has yet another crack in it for you and your family! I'm sorry he couldn't find peace. I pray for peace for you all in the days coming.
