New Grower Mara's continuous grow

[Mara Cachafa]

It's the last Friday of the year, time for a weekly update of this houseful of Jean-O's genetics:

I was gonna harvest the 2 older girls during the snowstorm, but figgered "why rush?"
What the Fuck is 113, fading hard:

VooDoo #2 is 105, ready any time:

The teenagers are 67 days old: WTF #2, PBOG #1 and PBOG #2. The PBOG's are different phenos, #2 is turning purple, #1 is compact and has a strong diesel scent:

VooDoo #1 has been in the jars for a week, so not cured all the way yet, but already getting rave reviews.
That's all for this year. I'm gonna start 3 more on January 5 for Jean-O's Thunderdome grow-off. Thanks to all o' y'all Live Stoners for all the support and camaraderie. Happy New Year, health, wealth, and abundant harvests!

Nice plants MC and looks like it's going to be a plentiful harvest.
I am excited to check out Jean-Os stuff next run.

A Happy New Year, and many more.

Weekly report for first Friday of January. No panorama since there are only 4 plants left. I calibrated my pH tester and realized it was off by 0.3 or 0.4. So I've been feeding at 6.2 to 6.4 instead of the intended 5.9 to 6.0. That might explain why this round is smaller, and had more yellowing. Here's the deets:
VooDoo S1 #2 is 112. Trichs are mostly cloudy, and I don't think she can do much more. I hope to chop her after lunch:

The señoritas are putting out mad pheromones at 74 (Poison Bear OG #1 and #2, WTF #2). My exhaust vents 4' above the roof (35' above ground) to avoid having to use a filter, but when the wind is calm the scent wraps around the outside of the house. I could smell the heady aroma on the front porch when I came in earlier:

What the Fuck F1 #1 got chopped last Friday (see final pic in last weeks report). The branches hung for 1 day open and 3 days in a bag. I tried a different drying method. I hung the branches in a trash bag with my new Inkbird humidity controller inside to turn a fan on/off to keep RH in the bag between 60-63% RH. When RH in the bag got down to 58%, and the fan wasn't coming on any more, I bucked and jarred it. RH in the jars still shot up to 70% with the lids on, so I had to leave the jars open in front of a fan for hours at a time, with the Inkbird RH sensor in one jar, and Govee wifi hygrometers in the others. Now the jars are holding at 63% RH with the lids on. Final weight is a new record for me at 13.3 oz (378g):

I'm soaking 3 seeds for Jean-O's Thunderdome (WTF x2, VooDoo x1) and also a Mango Smile for a 2nd attempt at pollen:

That's the news this week. I'm off to grab a sammich and chop me some VooDoo! Thanks to all you Live Stoners!

Thanks for the rep, advice, and encouragement @mdabber!

 

[Mara Cachafa]

Thanks, @Badfinger! I appreciate your support, especially your sense of humor.

Happy Friday report:
A week ago I chopped the colas off of Jean-O's VooDoo #2, and increased the light on the remaining lowers to see if they'll fatten up:

WTF #2 and Poison Bear OG #1 and #2 are 81, could harvest any time, but let's see if they'll fatten up more:

The 4 seedlings I planted on Sunday are not doing well. Maybe I should not have re-used the coco a 3rd time. Waiting to count survivors before I soak some more.
That's all for this week. I'm vaping VooDoo and WTF, enjoying their up-beat sativa goodness. Thanks for all the Live Stoner support!

Looks great. Side note - I use my coco many times before I retire outside. I just flush it out for a week or so and then throw it into a large bin/tote with the rest and reuse as needed. Eventually I think to myself to start again and use that coco for potted pepper plants or whatever, outside. YMMV.

Weekly update, 3rd Friday of 2023.
After ripening for 11 more days after chopping the colas, I chopped the remaining lower level of @Jean-O's VooDoo S1 #2 last Friday and jarred them last night. I'm thunderstruck! The tops gave 301 g., The lowers were jarred yesterday, another 231 g. for a total of 532 g. (18 oz!). By far my biggest harvest yet. VooDoo is a superb smoke and cerebral high. In the photo, the first 2 gallons are what's left of the top buds, the 2 jars on the right are the lower buds:

The next three are 88 days old: WTF #2, Poison Bear OG #1 and #2. PBOG #1 will hang today, the others as soon as drying space is available:

I started 4 seeds on 1/5 that all germinated and lifted helmets. I guess those fruit-flies I've been seeing were my first plague of fungus gnats. Three of the 4 sprouts got munched, and the remaining one looks like she won't make it either. I sprayed the soil with spinosad while I wait for mosquito bits to arrive. WTF #3 is barely alive on day 10, so I guess I'll have to drop out of Jean-O's Thunderdome grow-off. I'll keep feeding her in case she's able to survive:

After these next 3 girls get chopped I'll do a major clean/disinfect before I start another run. I've been shopping for seeds, like amnesia haze, mexican airlines, malverde... but Jean-O's genetics have been so good to me it would hard to go anywhere else! I'm about to order Jean-O's Hell Hound and The Duke. I'd certainly like to do Jean-O's VooDoo, WTF, and Poison Bear OG again (and again and again).

That's all for this week. Thanks to all you Live Stoners for getting me this far.
