Few things you can do to encourage "fininishing" or "ripening"

Spectrum has its affects too.

Off the top of my mind.

Just how it happens in nature, fall comes, winters approaching, gotta signal to you're plants indoors, that they don't have much time left either.

Earth tilts further away from the sun, the Spectrum changes coming in through the atmosphere, it gets colder.

Same thing with how we "signal" them into flowering, changing to 12-12.

i was wondering how the coach do with keeping the job, i personally have no issues with him. i don't think he did anything dumb so i'd say give him a chance!! the players really like him i know that. the GM is just so new there they can't really justify a firing.

they need major changes to a few areas and they might have to bring in some old guys to mix it up with all the young guys. i just hope they pick the right people.

there is not as many rebuild teams this year so hopefully they get some of the changes they really need!!

back in the mid season there was chatter about tom brady becoming part owner of the raiders and it had enough friction that all the owners voted on it. i haven't heard or looked for anything more on it since the vote. the team has changed so much since Al Davis was there. i would like to see a culture change come down from the top. i'm not saying Mark can't do it, i just feel he needs a change. hell mark davis is getting pretty old himself anymore.

i think the news on the raiders will be kinda quiet for a little while. till the draft anyway.. it would be so awesome to see them in contention once again!

it won't be much longer.....

Yep, spoke too soon and AP is out but they're keeping the GM and you're right, Brady is part of the next coach search.
Looking over the list of free agents and the draft...there's tons of potential in there. Tons!!!
I think you grab the LT from Texas or the edge rusher from PSU in round 1. Get line help there and forget the top QBs and WRs. There's guys just as good without name hype in later rounds.
Rounds 2-5 has players with value and potential starters...like the RB we just played out of ASU and a good QB too but I'd still go FA for a starting QB. Winston is the fit IMO there. 2 years starting then the rookie from this class takes over.
It's all there for the taking if they get the right football heads running it and they're all in alignment.
This makes me wanna watch Moneyball and Draft Day all over again!!

yep, i agree sir!! in fact i did all five of those things in the same order you listed, only i snuck in the spectrum change around your step 3.

quality seems off the charts this round!! i don't always get to lower my temps this cold and adding a dehuey late got me in the mid 20% rh range at the end!!!

i'll follow up with a final dry trim if needed, most of whats left should just break off with a little crunching...





nothing left to do now except wait it out!!!

Nice man!

I think that low RH towards the end helps stress them, and the sugar leaves will develop more trichomes. Along with everything else perhaps.

i'll be getting a couple VGs going soon too.. i printed a smaller one for myself, i've never used one those new one sided styles yet. i just need to pick a good genetic for the scrog. i need to decide soon though, it might end up being something i've grown before.

sorry man i missed this one somehow... i agree though, it's a little tougher with the living soil but i did go water only for almost two weeks before the chop.

bagged it all up last night for a quick cure... gonna give some to my neighbor tomorrow to get his feedback!!

.

ahhhhh yeah!!! load er up baby!!!!!!!!

you'll have fun experimenting with seed placement, both height and orientation. you can raise em up a little if you're looking for more tap root room next time. direct sow rules apply with 1/4-1/2" below.

can't wait to see what ya get in a day or two!!!

I am pleased to announce the 2025 NASCAR Fan Rewards is open for business!
I lost the 52 points I had left from last season but opened with 188 for being subbed up to the newsletter and got another 13 for paying attention in 3rd grade math class with the first trivia question.
I'm at 201 as of this morning and on my way to 15,000 for that COTA garage experience




BTW....Texas is sending 18 prospects to the NFL this year. 10 of which I'm pretty sure could help the Raiders in 2025
Also, word on the street is Texas is a player for a pair of WR transferring from PSU. We aint rebuilding. We're reloading!!!
