Bud's buds buds Galore...
The buds are everywhere. Every plant is showing good bud sign. Some plants are a little less then I would expect such as the OG fire the bub structures on this is unfamiliar to me and so I think the buds are looking okay. but again I've never grown this plant so I don't know for sure.
The Dragon Blood HP is looking awesome the triple threat Silver Haze another one just beautiful pact little buds everywhere. Two of the unknowns have beautiful buds on them the samango the Chem Berry diesel Mango hp and the sage n sour the blueberry cookies and the Hawaii Maui waui are all. Looking great.

It's very hard for me to pull the plants out so you can see them individually as they've all grown pretty much together now and look like one giant green glob of plants and buds. All similar greens but yet slightly different each with little bit different Leaf structures and Bud structures.

Growtogrow,

Are you using light deprivation on all those budded plants? My photoplant (5) are just showing sex this week. Planted in raised bed outdoors. 93 degrees yesterday. Using well water after using up 50 gallons of rainfall collected last week. I made cages for my photo plants like in some of your pictures from a heavy garden fencing I found in my pole barn.

Top dressed my raised bed with a couple pounds of fresh Canadian goose droppings from the feathered rats that invaded my yard yesterday. Neighbor keeps trying to get me to take some fresh water seaweed from him that he rakes out of his shoreline. But the lake association sprays weed killer into the lake so I didn't take it even though they haven't sprayed this year yet.

My plants that get the longest direct sun grew five inches since yesterday. I just topped them last week. I think the five photo plants may completely outgrow my small fenced in grow area.

Hey there Doug how the hell you doing brother? Yeah 93° is kind of warm huh? Yeah I know.

Yeah Use light deprivation all summer long.

I will always get 2 crops out of these Michigan summers.
I could grow 3. but I don't like to grow out into regular harvest season because there's just too many Rippers and I live in the city. Even though I'm pretty well protected with cameras and I got an electric fence now and I got some alarms out there and shit.
I just don't want to go through the hassle of growing all the way out in the September and October knowing there somebody's watching my crop that I can't see or make-out.
And they may end up making compost or I mite be making compost. Ugh...

So I started light depth on this crop on the 28th of May...so I'm 3 weeks in the flower on this crop with the exception of maybe the blueberry cookies somango, unknown and the mango hp. Those plants were all showing pre bud 2 weeks before I started tarping.

Pics of the May 28th

So I black it out every night at 7 until the sun goes completely down or just dark enough that I can un tarp ASAP as not to Trap too much moisture inside the grow cage.
On days where there's heavy moisture I'll run the fan or fans. If needed to keep the moisture at Bay. This way I can grow 2 crops before the middle of August.
When your plants will just start flowering and you start seeing bud sign.
Around your area I would figure probably around the 6th of August you should start seeing your first signs of buds.
I'll already be just about done with both crops and the first crop I'll probably be enjoying some of it and the second crop will be just about all trimmed and all but harvested...

Boy if I had some fresh freaking bird poop like you got. I would probably make some nice tea with it. And I would also take some of that bird poop and I would put it in my next year's compost pile and start composting it in for my next year's grow... this is prime time to compost in this kind of weather in makes the best and the quickest compost. Composting all summer long will give you a great grow next year...food for thought my friend...

These are the second crop girls. I'm not sure how many I can get in there though now I'm going to try and get four of them in there until I harvest a couple of plants.
I just don't have the room these plants have overgrown my estimations. I think I can get three of them in there comfortably. But I don't know yet I have a friend of mine coming by this evening after Dark and we're going to bring two of my plants from the basement to the outside that I have in my inside grow in veg. They've grown a lot BIGGER than I thought...I asked who made these LoL.
The 315 CMH lights just grow a plant faster than hell. It's a better light than my old HIDs ever were and much cheaper to run. And cheeper than the start up cost of LEDs. Of the same quality.

So the first plant is a sage and sour the second plant is a OG fire
And the last plant the smallest one is a blueberry from seedsman. It's not growing too fast so it may go in later on it's not going in this weekend.

These two big girls grew way bigger than I thought they were going to grow.. holyshit

The one on the left Chem berry D.
On the right Og fire

Chem berry D

Og fire

it's going to be fun getting them up out of the basement.

I hate Canadian Geese but they do provide plenty of free fertilizer. Someone has apparently been shooting them with a .22 and some neighbors asked if it was me. Wasn't me, but I have heard the shots going off a few houses away on the island I live on. Had a dead one in my yard the other day, all that was left was a thigh bone and feathers that wasn't there the day before. Bald Eagle sitting in a tree on my property likely got it, a fisherman told me the eagle was sitting in the top of the tree eating something.

I've got some autoflowering plants from Afterthought Autos going in smaller pots outside also. Just seedling from regular seeds that I want to pollinate if I get a male plant. Just growing for seeds this year so I don't have to bother buying anymore. Same with the photo plants this year, just growing for seeds.

I haven't even used my tents or grow lights for more than two weeks this year inside. Just used them to start my seedlings and grew my photo plants until I could put them in the ground.

What do you use for alarms?

Last year my outdoor grow smelled so strong late at night when no wind was blowing of the lake I could smell it over at my house. Surprised no one ripped me off. I have a motion activated spotlight out in my pole barn I should install to spook rippers off. I have some video capable game cameras with bear resistant boxes I should install to keep an eye on snoopy people who may try to enter my property to look over the board fence.

If anyone really needed some weed they wouldn't have to rip me off, they could just ask. I don't know how long the weed I have jarred up from last September will last before losing potency. Have 62% humidity packs in the jars and I've smoked weed that was two plus years old stored in jars before and still got high from it. I probably have well over a pound from my growing last year of various strains. No way I will use that all up myself. If someone around me really needed some I'd give them a couple oz's.

yeah those damn geese get all over everything don't they.

When I store my cannabis...
I dry it to the crack of the snap of the branch. Then from there I either go to curing process paper bag, jar ,sundry whatever I'm going to do.

Or stick the fresh weed in my FoodSaver bag and vacuum seal it l... Then stick it in the freezer. Then When you're ready to need some weed. You go down in your freezer and you grab out a bag of your favorite vacuum bag weed. And let it sit for about 30 minutes to let it thaw out. ( as you dont want to handle it a lot before thawing) Then open your bag up and cure as you would normally...however that may be bag it jar it and burp it sundry it.
What ever..
The weed is always fresh just like you just harvested it.

And it's like fresh weed every single time I do it. I never have to worry about losing potency. I never have to worry about dried out weed. Everything is always as if I just harvested it. And I suppose you could store it that way for years. I'd never made it over a year that way so far. But the key is...is to vacuum bag it and freeze it.. ASAP after you can snap a branch. And you don't have to vacuum bag to crush it ...you can vacuum bag it and stopp it just before the crushing starts.

That's how I've been doing for 4 year. And everybody's always satisfied nobody ever complains about dry nasty cornflake weed that's not potent. And then I used the 62% bovado packs to keep it fresh in the jar for however long I need up to 2 years. I've never had to go that long but just saying.

So I have a infrared photo eye. That make a curtain beam that goes around the top inside of my fence.
Then I have a very powerful electric live stock fence.... 6.9 Joule every second animal fence that can produce up to 10 joules as it's a 120 miles weed killer fence

Plants looking awesome GTG, i remember your awesome basment set up grow bro, its so professional looking with the glass door , funny many places have basements in the US, not really here, would have been nice. I am thinking of light dep soon, just picking the hours to use. I had a leak last night in the cubbiehouse and only noticed when i got up, should be okay , not at all showing flowering or bud set up, just their sex (single pistels)

Thanks Smokey...

What kind of light leak???

Hey GTG ,
Close now to thinking of light dept and bloom, thinking of 12/12 or 14/10 maybe, the light leak was near the kitchen window i could see inside though a gap, i missed it only saw it in the morning when i got up. They should be okay,probably more concern during bloom time

O ok.. I like running 13 on and 11 off. I get the most BANG for my buck.

So when I'm in veg and daylight hours are running around 12 total daylight hours...so that means Twilight in the morning and Twilight dusk in the evening which don't really count so much...that's right where I pump up with the light. I'll run 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening to extend my day so I get a full 17 or 18 hours out of the day of light.
But when I'm in flower here in Michigan in the summertime like I am now. I don't tarp in the morning time. But only tarp in the evening because there's a garage on the west side of my grow and it starts a shadow the grow cage around 5:30 in the afternoon.. right now this time of year... so at 7 the whole grow cage is mostly shadowed...So I close it up every night at 7.

And you know what my tarps got a few holes in it...there's a little light leak here in there.... But that a minut amount of light and has never bothered the first crop. And those holes have been in that tarp for probably probably 3 years. Granted those cannabis plants are pretty sensitive light.
But they're not that sensitive ....
I have a street light that's not 20 yards from my grow.. And has never bothers it....

The only thing ever bothers my damn plants.
Is the dumbass up the street that grows and doesn't know his freaking plants a male or female..... or maybe he might have had a auto or something that through a pollen Sac....
I don't know. But my whole second crop last year got a few seeds in it here and there.... But the first crop never got nothing it was beautiful...well I can't say that.. the Dragon Blood gave me one seed. And that seed just happened to be a female plant that's growing right now........... Yeehaw !!!
