Harvest Round [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG]
I've been out of town again for a few days, and just got back.
Before I left, I noticed that little bit of bud rot starting on the older Safari lady...
Luckily, checking the weather while I was out, it was mainly sunny and warm, no rain.
Not long after I returned, I took the opportunity to go and check the site,
and try to the harvest that older Safari girl. Was worried that the rot may have spread...
Grabbing my bag and scissors, out I went. I checked the weather report before I left, and...
forecast for rain again this afternoon. So, better go quick!
5 minutes out the door, and the rain started. Damn! Took shelter for a bit.
It eased, and I pressed on. I didn't want to cut wet plants, horrible to dry in high humidity!
But I also didn't want them wet on the plant, with the rot spreading.
When I got the site, the rain hadn't hit it much, just a touch of moisture.
The younger Safaris (and possibly autos) were doing well.
Yellowing a bit, but still many white pistils. They'd been enjoying the sunny weather!
Group 1 - Younger Safari (2 plants)
She's doing fine. Yellowing, no more stretching, slowly bulking up, nice crystals.
The bud on the far left is actually another smaller plant, heavily shadowed by the main lady.
Group 2 - Younger Safari (1 plant)
She's doing fine. Yellowing, no more stretching, slowly bulking up, nice crystals.
Slightly smaller than the first group, above.
Group 3 - Older and Younger Safari and Friend (3 plants)
There are three plants here, actually!
On the left with purple is a smaller plant, I think a younger Safari girl.
On the right may be an auto, or younger Safari.
Up top is the older Safari lady. Can see a touch of bud rot, but it hadn't spread (lucky!)
I cut down 90% of the older Safari, plus the top half of the other two, they were more mature than expected.
Group 4 - Already cut Older Safari and Friend
Another two plants. Bottom left in green on the stump is the remains of the older Safari already harvested.
Top right in yellow is a younger plant, maybe auto, not sure. Just a tiny little wispy bud.
No time for fancy bud shots, sorry. I did a rough trim on site, and into a brown paper bag.
I wanted to get clear and check security, although all went smoothly.
Here's a peek in the bag halfway home:
This may be a 1/4 oz = 7 g or so. I should really cut the stems out more, now that I see this picture...
Got home safely with my fresh bag of herbs.
Opened the door, put down my bag and...
...
the rains started to pour down, very heavily, but just for 20 minutes!
Lucky I took the chance, and cut.
The remaining girls need a few more weeks.
Weather forecast for ... cloudy, some sun, some showers for a few days, then mainly sunny and clear for a week!
All is good.
Love and hugs,
MJS
