I think I may have got my clones mixed up. This is looking more like the middle or right side plant than the left one. But if it turns into the left one I should have a nice batch of buds. Otherwise hopefully giving them more space and keeping them focused on the main buds gets them to fill in better.

I have 6 Northern lights growing in the greenhouse this year. Growing fine even though my auto watering system isn't working to well. I will take some pics later today.

I've got feminized seeds (well I have seeds that were made with the method that makes feminized seeds). Killed off the herm when I saw I had seeds. I don't know how many yet but I definitely see more than 4 so that's the original seeds paying for themselves (or cutting seed costs down to more reasonable prices). Oddly I'm not seeing any savable amount of pollen in the bag I'm drying the herm in. I guess it's all sticking to the plant. As soon as I stopped spraying it it went back to part female. Curious to see how much worth of seeds I get at $25/ea from one little bud. I bet the outrageous seed prices are making million dollar plants.

The heavy LST on the single plant has it looking like it will produce the same as 3 plants, buds are spaced better and getting filled in better. By the timing of the first ones it has 2 weeks to flush. It looks like it has at least a couple weeks more to get to 2 weeks to flush. Only the seed bud looks like it is that close.

Just like that pistils started turning. Checked and the trichomes are all cloudy. I let week 9 go a few extra days. LED, and the electricity only costs about $35/mo.

Really curious to try these seeds (cut out of the picture). But I need to grow a higher CBD variety.

Bud rot again. Of course the 2 best buds as bud rot will do. Cut the mold out of them and have them in the dehydrator. I messed around with it last time, ones I did that to didn't mold finishing in a jar. Only one that turned black and wilted later on the plant molded while curing (but it also smelled great).
I'd say these are denser than last time after cutting some of them in half. These felt pretty heavy wet weight.
Probably be either doing the week 11 feed short and flush or going right into flush.

What I learned from grow to grow. Sometimes less is more. 3 plants overcrowded, 8oz poorly trimmed. 1 plant spaced better, trimmed better, with a lot wasted to bud rot and not including the seeded bud. 8.75oz. I don't know the trim weight difference but I'm sure there's more of that too.
Better spacing does give more densely packed buds with LED QB.
Better packed buds are a huge risk of bud rot.

I have way too much weed and that's only 1 variety. I need at least 2 varieties and probably 3.
IL should allow donating/gifting at least to other patients, but I know why they didn't. States that legalized but gave no means to sell and $50 T-shirts with a free gift. Just saw some idiot saying they should allow donations and then threw in if people wanted to donate cash back. That's why we can't have nice things. Stop thinking your stoner logic will stand up in court.

I think my next budder will be powerful enough to make chocolates that don't melt at room temperature.

I am sure many here would appreciate the "gift" if you are in the Chicago Area.

Never had bud rot. Everyone seems to get it. Guess I have been lucky.

The point is the law specifically forbids it and I'd be risking my card and grow rights if I did it.
I could see saying no unlicensed sales like alcohol but I could give anyone of legal age a case of wine, homemade or bought, without worry of any laws being broken. Technically the way legalization is written if you pass a joint it's illegal. The way medical is written a patient can't even trade a variety from a dispensary they don't like to another patient who's taxed the same. Because I'm so picky about variety I know many I could've helped there too, it's just not worth the risk for people I don't really know.

Bud rot is the same mold that gets strawberries and grapes, I have both and this is a month after the strawberries were throwing the spores. I probably won't be doing another spring grow unless adding a fan to my box stops it, it made trimming much more work.

My e-nail dab rig arrived today.
Holy fuck!
These days I usually puff on my Mighty vapo or just smoke hitters.
Recently got some dispensary live budder. My old wax pen I have is dirty and shitty so I got the e-nail kit.
I'm so fucking high now though. I got the quartz banger kit for lower temps. Did a dab that got me about 3 good hits around 3:30 @560°F. Did another about 6:00, smaller dab, maybe 1.5 good hits. Island sweet skunk. Did same size dab of bio jesus @530° about 800.
I'm too high to fight at Logan Square.

Oh! Got a new top for my Mighty vapo. I got too fucked up and lazy about cleaning mine so I got a new top.

@truthbedamned
You pretty good about taking apart mighty mouthpiece and cleaning it and screens and such? How often? I just got lazy.

I clean about once a month. Gets to damned hard to draw. Take all that shit apart and scrub it with Qtips in alcohol

 

[Myk]

Use that spare. Soak it when it's dirty so you always have a clean one.

With Arizer E-Q I bought a spare of everything and many screens cheap on Amazon (and bong adapters). Screen starts getting plugged I throw it in the reclaim jar and throw a new one on. If the hose is getting funky and I need it now I have a clean hose ready.

This is why I am beginning to not like growing outdoors. Sure the yeild is 10 times what is grown in a tent but at least I dont have to deal with these:

Totally infested one plant and had to take it down a month early. Can you say edibles? Now I have to go out in the dark and inspect the plants to make sure they have not infested the others.

I think BT could be used late and kills pretty fast.
I don't know what color they're attracted to but I would assume white moths are attracted to white and yellow moths attracted to yellow. Make cheap sticky traps with junk and paint (and stuff called Tangletrap). Keep them from getting bad next season.

Make weed wine, distill it and put a worm in each bottle.

I made 5oz of oil with 4.6oz of trim and 1oz of hemp, I had to poke the leaves down to get them covered in my Mighty Fast Infuser. My chocolates set up now.
I'm letting a lot of the popcorn stay on this 2:1. I'm thinking I'll just grind up everything small and make some high CBD edibles. No hassle having to trim popcorn but also not waste good buds to for edibles.

 

[Myk]

What I have going now is a sativa leaning 2:1, Lovelace from AlphaKronik. It started out with huge Indica type leaves and is ending looking like Sativa leaves.
I flared about a week after starting seeds so they got no training. Flowered at 8" and 6", both female, picked the 8" because of a much better root system. I have room for 4x8", 400% stretch should be enough. It isn't so now I'm pulling branches down and in and around, sort of LST, sort of super cropping.
Starting to get stinky and buds are looking bigger than I expected from a heavy CBD variety. It might do pretty good in my box with some proper manifold training and flowering while the branches are still being tied out in a flat X. Like above but with fatter taller colas.

 

[Myk]

Bigger buds and a lot more trichomes than I expected from the breeder's picture and internet description. Still has 4 weeks or more to go. Not sure about foxtailing with 4 weeks to go but I found a grow site about sativas saying they tend to foxtail. Hoping they fill out with the later feed schedule.

With the flare that kept me from training this one young and a Dr that hasn't been doing much to help I've been getting some tolerance to edibles since.

Apparently Boomers can learn new tricks.

I was at a friend's house and she has a stoner 21 year old son taking college courses from home and he and I have discussed weed in the past so he was comfortable in sharing with me that he was enjoying some killer wax. That's an area previously far outside my weed radar and experience so I asked him to describe the entire wax and dabbing thing to me. So he goes to his room and returns with what I thought was a small bong, so he corrected me and showed me how a "dab rig" operates.

As a backstory, this kid is a trust-fund baby and has vast financial resources. He proceeded to tell me the rig - excluding the bowl - cost about $1,500 which blew my mind. He then told me the bowl was quartz and he paid $2,000 for it, so the combined rig cost him $3,500. He then took a dental pick and scooped out a nugget of the wax while he heated the bowl with a butane torch, dropped the nugget and took the rip.

He then offered one to me, I don't have the highest tolerance limit so I literally asked him to hit me with a tiny dose which was smaller than a teardrop.

That's all it took, fantastic buzz which lasted about 2 hours. These kids today have really taken shit to another level.

It's a long way away from breaking a hole in a pop bottle with a rock or ball bearing, and sticking the end of a cig in with a chunk of hash on the heater. But the kits are a swizz.
