Tom’s Sierra Foothills entertainment

Unusually high RH today.
Usually when it’s 110 or higher, the humidity is more like 14%.

I think that’s a VPD that’s close to my age. This plant amazes me it grows no matter what.

The two ladies here in the foothills in the tent are in week seven and putting on weight rapidly.

They still have three weeks to go. They smell great, sweet with a little tartness.

Had a brief but intense rain squall blow through this morning, only about 10 or so minutes of wind and rain, but broke one lower branch off to the outer layer of tissue.
I wired everything back and provided some upper branch support to reduce future failure issues, but it was a pretty thorough break.

Hope it forms a big knuckle and big beefy buds.

Foothills budporn, the tent is mid week 7.

One Apples and Bananas, the other is Golden Kiwi x Water melon punch.

I can no longer tell them by location. They are so interwoven. Two buds side by side can be from different plants.

Outside we’re just discovering trichomes. I believe it’s going to be a sugary girl but gotta wait and see.

One thing I noticed, having spent most of her life and all but 3 days of flowe with highs over 100, and often approaching 110, pistils are amazingly short. They seem to be red early too, I hope I don’t have a rogue neighbor pollinating the air.
I don’t see or feel any seeds but I’ll need to keep watching.
I’m wondering if a really hot area changes the plants growing structure? It’s nothing like it’s clone in the controlled environment.

When I post from my phone, about half the time that happens, I don’t know if its the phone or the toner holding it!

Nice man, looks real good. I get sad when i see plants like this outside because i wish i could grown plants like that outside here but theyd be nothing but mold factories by now.

I am really blessed by the weather GODs, at least for weed and most of the time. As long as the plant has enough water pumping through it in the heat of the day, it’s awesome.

Looking good Tom

Chop day in the foothills.
Both plants were 9 weeks and 3 days.

The Golden kiwi was ready with a capital RED. The Apples and bananas was right at the beginning of its window.

It was a sticky and smelly event. Now the long 10 days followed by an even longer couple weeks.

Berry Citrus. Lady smoked the scissor hash and said it tasted like limes.

Chop day came today, one day short of 9 weeks. I wanted it to go past 10, but I had to balance loss to caterpillars with weight gain.

I ended up tossing some big branches that had brown patches, if I touched them, the bug detritus would drop out. Probably efficient insect frass, but all I saw was buds going to the trash.

I did a branch wash in h202/h20 and a follow up in h20 before the hang.

I’ll guess it was about 1/3 of the plant in the trash, about 1.5 lbs wet weight. Th rest is hanging and will be examined with a fine tooth comb to check for additional bugs and mold.

The smell of the preserved buds is really nice, sweet with a spicy touch to it. It will be interesting to compare to the indoor plant.

Yesterday we were supposed to (and did) receive a little rainfall (less than .1”), then we were supposed to be drying and warming.

Last night, we got pounded by rain. More than an inch in about 3 hours. I had chopped my outside plant yesterday and had most of it hanging outside under our arbor (fortunately) with a fan blowing on it.

Well, that rain didn’t help the drying process but at least in plant was covered.

It’s since been moved into the shed with two dehuys running (I hope I can pull out enough moisture to avoid mold), stay tuned, same Bat time, same Bat channel! . Sorry, I’m old!

As long as you have air moving around it you should be ok.
