Back in town after 5 days and things have greened up nicely.
The front set are 3 weeks older and the survivors of the July clone slaughter. LOL
I'll get the rooted ones in soil pots tomorrow.

They don't always make the jump from rockwool to soil. All the more reason to take many and discard as needed.
Started a diet of Potassium Sulfate.
Flower on my lovelies.
I've had such good results from the Ammonium Sulfate I'm using in veg that I picked up a pound of Potassium Sulfate that I just used a round of so a new addition to the grow. I use high PH city hose water and even adding sulfur dust between plants wasn't enough to prevent the PH push years of all that 8.5 water I dump on eventually caused. The Ammonium Sulfate acidified and pulled the soil back into a much more reasonable range and my plants all greened up almost overnight.
Figured that out last summer grow so this set I thought some Potassium with the same acidifying help might kick the buds up a notch as well. I get a good harvest but there is always room for improvement, and I've been lax and letting things ride to long.
Sounds good! People have been talking about how sulfer has helped terpene production, and I'm sure its due to nutrient availability. Phosphate is important for bloom, do you have enough in the soil from amendments at planting? Make sure to give them some phosphorous to promote flower production. Probably just need a maintenance rate if you applied at planting, although I do monthly applications with P.

I've had great results using potassium bicarbonate as part of my weekly IPM during flower to help control PM. It's another great source of potassium.
I use that start to finish once a week as the Powdery Mildew is a given here.
2 rooted clones of the 2nd group exited the cloner. I still don't have a Jack cut and this is the first Chunk.

Jack Wreck
I have more seeds and planted some Jack, Blue Dream, Banana-Nichole, Haze, and Pandomo since the clones / cuttings are looking so crappy this run. Regular seed but the off season is the perfect time to grow out, clone all and discard the males as they show.

I'm more worried about your floatie boat than your emerald jungle.
At the Cabin again as it is far more at risk than the grow or the boat. Neighboring boat owner is going to stay on his boat for the peak of the storm, so we have an eye on that. Woman across the street waters the yard and grow when we are gone (our huge yard gives her great Dane room to run) so we have eyes there as well (and the back yard camera).
We've filled and laid about 50 sandbags on the road in the places water has breached the berm before and battened down as best we can. Started to rain about 4am, an hour ago.
One branch down a bit seems to be all the damage except the wind unplugged the bug zapper so it is empty, and things are surely infested with caterpillar larva. Son of a.... I'll need to spray BT today for sure.
The plants that went out with no light assistance are well ahead of the rest of the pack and will finish a month before them.
A 220-micron Trichome Breakfast.
I found this lighter in the ocean years ago and it refuses to die.
Trimmed some internal small scruff and pull a mess of dead leaves.
Clones such as survived and the first round of seedlings.
Sprayed high PH water for the powdery mildew this morning and this evening they got a round of BT for the Caterpillars.
Southern California the Caterpillars are relentless, and I have to stay on top of my game every week as missing even one treatment means damage and some dead and sun-dried buds will show before harvest.
I start spraying at the first hint of flower (mid Aug) and spray weekly right up to week of harvest.
Every dead spot is a caterpillar chewed through stem and the dead; dried bud will usually tug free with low effort. Digging in the wound you can usually find the little bastard at work on the next bud in line.
Hashmaster 5000. 160 or 220 micron mesh and 10 pounds of dry ice will burn through 5 gallons of buds in a couple of hours.
