Thanks mate.

It was quite late at night and I needed something to take pics against and stumbled across the image in our back room junk so looks like that will be my picture theme during harvest for this year!

Day 12 for Nanas, Casanova and Limey.

And Day 7 for blueberry.

They all had a day out in the sun today, it was warm and bright here and when I got home they all had quite a lean on towards the setting sun. Just a few more days until the older 3 get a taste of their first nutes. Then a few more days before I pick one to top at the 4th node. The others I'll start to LST around the same time I think, get them leaning over early.

Blueberry is a little on the small side for day 7 but I'm just glad its growing after the tricky start.

Just tucking them up for an extra 2hrs CFL tonight and if it's decent in the morning they'll go outside. We have thunderstorms and very heavy rain forecast in the UK so will keep an eye on the sky.

Cheers

water was way up but not much to bail, mts getting the heaviest and water table is maxed out so it doesn't take much to get a good jump

Been away for a couple of days of fun with the family, thoroughly enjoyable.

I set up a water drip system to keep our various flowers and plants moist while away. The garden peas have taken a battering in high winds

everything else has done ok, just a little windswept but the drippers kept it all happy.

Oh and this arrived in the post while I was away

Will update with some plant pics at the weekend, I'm trying them down like crazy still and starting to see pistils on the 3 older plants. I reckon another week or 2 and I'll leave them alone to grow out once flowering nicely.

cheers to the drip system!

Well I made a bit of a duh and realised it's CBD lime and NOT pineapple express that's not hit flower yet.
My plants are labelled but I get confused so easily!
I will put CBD lime slightly away from the others to remind me to feed her different until she flowers.
No more stupid moments I hope on this grow

but we love cheech and chong moments!

Well a little update on my CBD auto compassion lime that doesn't seem to be flowering.

She's still growing vigorously and drinking heavily and I've been putting her on a 12/12 in the shed/garden to see if this helps.

Let's see what happens. Possibly I was sent the wrong seed by the reseller and it's something else? Who knows.

Anyway I thought I'd drop a line to Dutch Passion so see if they had any advice and I had a lovely conversation with one of the Dutch Passion people that ended up with them saying they'd send me 3 more seeds! Wow how cool is that?! I wasn't contacting them to make a complaint or to try and get a freebie in any way, it was just to see if they had any tips so to end up getting some free seeds is awesome.

Thanks Dutch Passion, you guys rock!

Good job Swann excellent.
The mold can be a mother. I hate the mold it's so hard to fight. I think I beat it this year though I think I got it figured out how to grow in my area and beat the bugs in the mold.

I had a bout with the mold too when I just harvested my Citrus super Haze every main colon had the infancy of Bud rot inside it it was close enough to harvest at 10 to 15% Amber so I got on it right away and took it in both plants and completed my outside grow Harvest by taking all the buds off from all the stems and putting them on a screen hanging from the ceiling to dry and every bud that had Bud rot on it was remove and revoved the fungi. I had also picked up some aphids on the White Widow and a little bit on the chem berry diesel and a very wee bit of powdery mildew it was all just coming on when I finished so next year I got a better plan.
I washed the whole Harvest in 3% hydrogen peroxide to water mix and then rinsed that off in clean Clearwater and then let hang dry in front of a fan until it was dry enough to hang in the drying room the outside drying room.
I wasn't going to take all that stuff possibly into the house if there was an egg left on there or something could contaminate my inside grow.
But all looks pretty good.

this kind of bounty is heartening, way to grow!

Well here's to show how much I've taken my eye off the ball.

A nice plump bud from pineapple express that was looking lush and green just a few days ago...

I checked it this evening and the whole cola is riddled with rot....

Some more selective harvest of Nanas aka Barneys Pineapple Express.

Still battling mold spots but she's throwing out white pistils still and the buds aren't very dense so I've taken off a few to create some room for better airflow and light. Its just a case of keeping an eye and cherry picking what looks ready or what is being hit by mold.

sweet treats await! I'm in mold country too, I'm always happy with cloudy, much of the time waiting for amber is just asking for it, I hate having to harvest early

 

[trailanimal]

nice plants grobro!, I hate how fungus can cut us down. I'm working on getting us a strain that's fast and resistant. When ya think of it, most commercial strains are the spawn of generations of
indoor controlled living, and I'm pretty sure inbreeding for resistance has not been the focus

Choppidy chop chop time!

This evening I took the rest off of Stitches Love Potion aka Casanova.

After the initial 2 harvests of top buds I gave all the little nugs a chance to mature. The last few days of welcoming dry and sunny (but not hot) weather have helped turn the pistils brown so I put her out of her misery.

This is what was left to harvest.....

And now I have another brown bag of little nugs hanging outside to dry.

Now she's stripped bare I can marvel at my LST work [emoji1][emoji1]

That last picture looks like a terrifying green 20 legged spider beached on its back.

What a lovely thought to end a post on [emoji1]

Dutch Passion Autocompassion CBD Lime on day 124 (yep I said day 124!)

Barneys Pineapple Express Auto and Stitches Love Potion Auto have both been fully harvested and are in jars.

Here are their skeletons [emoji3]

And my CBD lime V2 that Dutch Passion kindly supplied when V1 wasn't flowering after 75 days. Shes stayed quite small as the weather has been waning and she looks tiny compared to monster V1. Like I said the weather is turning so I hope V1 and V2 finish ok.
