And thank you for the seeds sir.

I need to find a better way to send you some. One damaged is annoying but half…that’s a piss off. So far you’re the only one but I’m sure it’ll happen again if I don’t improve my methods.

Wonder if I can get little containers at the dollar store?

Washer I had to rig up a few years ago when the controller board mucked up. They no longer made replacement parts.

Now a few weeks/months back the dryer belt broke and again, no one had the part.

So screw Samsung. Phones, TVs, and now home appliances. Won’t be buying from them again.

I have Viking or GE in the garage. Top loader but still worked fine. Loaned it to family for a while but they say they returned it working. I hope so. I’ll be trying them next.



Son was home in time to carry out the door with me. The rest I did myself. Anger power

Just a few lights out pics. Feeding in a few minutes when lights come on.


Considering everything is still in one gallon pots I’m happy it’s doing so well.

I feed every two/three days. 1.5L each, then 1L each the next. So far so good. Still using Botanicare Kind Trio.

I can use the top as the catch tray. But I’ll need some way to crank it without a belt.

Purple Diesel that was stuck outside rather than tossing.

We just keep covering at night.

Our old dryer was cleaned a few times then put in place for testing. Seems good. Washer we’ll do tomorrow. It’s already out of the garage.

Still hasn’t rained enough to test the roof/chimney patch.

Need to get everything ready for the meeting with the city as well.

Always fun when important things stack up demanding your time equally.

The Purple Diesel outside is still going. Cute little thing.

20241111: Day 42F W6

SL - Fading better than before but still faster than I liked. I thought it was a P issue but G$ though more calcium. Think he’s right.

JB - Doing well but tip burn.

HB - Also doing well but I need to trim. Bit of burn on her too.

Rather than a normal feed I gave them all 1/4gal 0-50-30 FFBB & 8ml ProCal which has calcium.

Knee jerk reaction but after G$ assessment maybe I get lucky. He also warned too much CalMag/ProCal can cause lockout. 5ml is what it recommends.

Lowered light to 30000 LUX which matches the Photontek at 50%.

Dealing with multiple strains is definitely tricky when trying to feed them all the same. Plus my charts only go to W9 and that’s flush. So I wing it. Week 9 is rarely when most strains I’ve tried are ready.

Usually takes two or three grows of each strain before I know how to get it to finish better. Guess that’s the bonus of clones.

A top grower said here one time, " if you're not burning your tips you're not trying hard enough.. looking good. Still some outside stuff in November....in Canada...gotta love it.....

I could have had a crop outside this year, our fall was spectacular. with little rain, no fog, warm right through the 1st week of November but that's a one off out of 30 years here I can maybe remember 1 other like this fall. Its just not worth the aggravation.

Thanks PC. Too many distractions but tip burn I can live with. Got to watch the calcium in the future.

We’ve had warm weather up to January off/on for years now. I didn’t grow then but road my motorcycle to work as often as I could until snow stays.

Don’t remember snow in October since I was a kid. Since then even November has become more of a rainy cold month than snowy.

I can live with that.

The little PD outside gets a few more days.

Closed the tent late so took a few pics first.





Love the glow.

20241112: Day 43F W7

Nothing special today. Just fed and trimmed some fan leaves. Spun the JB around for better light, only one without a yo-yo.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Gave them a trim, HB will need more but I want to see how things got a day or two. Give her a rest too. I have high hopes for her but she’s got to be ready.

SL is doing amazing, for me anyway, this time. Turning the light down to 30,000 LUX has helped I think. That’s the same as 50% on the Photontek. We’ll see about that later. Changing the feed I don’t expect to see results for a few days. So far only the tops of HB & JB have burn. Just 6-8 inches down is just tip burn. SL was least bothered this time. Still the only one fading but at a much slower rate than last time. I’m basically letting her grow out and spread like a tomato plant. Every bend taking it further out.

On one side HB & SL are doing fine sharing space. Same with JB on the right side.

Getting there. Happy with the frost this time round. Just hope I don’t have to move her, not turning down the light any further unless they all have an issue.

Outdoor, son scoped it for me. Needs a little more time and sun.

My handy pickup tool when in flower. In veg it’s Willow.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Feeding is tomorrow. Wanted to do a bit more on the HB. Tents temp and humidity has been a bit better.

Leave them alone for a few days. See how HB does now that she’s shaped a bit and turned 45*. The rest are done.

20241116: Day 47 W7

Lights on



Other than the tip burn things seem fine for now. Haven’t used a riser/elevator on this grow so a little worried salts might become an issue. I took the usual saucers and risers away to steal back a few inches of hight…

Might have to hit a dollar store and see what they have.

Purple Diesel outdoor since August 25th.

Trimmed


Checked for issues


Washed & hung


I was hoping for an ounce…not even close

But she smells dank. Even diesel coming through. She might give me a few good joints to remember her by.

Outdoor is drying


Still haven’t had a real rain since I patched the worn caulk around the chimney on the roof. Now we’re supposed to get five days of it.
