These are the most pungent buds in the outdoor grow this year, They have this super wild, super strong twangy tart/sweet fruit odor. Its most pleasant. I get it on my arms and sniff it all day. Its really nice. Historicly, this is a very strong resin plant, and will cook your noodle in seconds. I can hardly wait to roll a fatty in some rice papers of this plant

I expect it will begin to purple quickly as the weather cools. It does not taste anything like a regular purple though.

more like goat-o-bomb the place doc!

i think the big sweetestcindy will be ready to flower out in a few weeks time,need to do some more topping,going to be a bitch dragging that thing into the flower room...got the 2 glues in 10 gallon pots to size up to go into 45's,just about time to get a tent fired up since i can only run 3 of these mongo plants in flower at once,i can use a tent for some seed runs,think i might pop some straw d this weekend...

on to more important bike related matters...getting a new pair of mountain bike shoes this week and getting some help adjusting the cleat to accommodate my weird ankle on one side and bad knee on the other...also trying out some aero bars to see if they will be comfy and offer and good rest position without rocking too far forward and crushing the boys...

 

[Jbomber79]

what did you do to your ankle Unc? I displaced my calcaneus a few years back.. biking was the only therapy I had but it gets swollen from time to time.

 

[unclefishstick]

fractured it and did some tendon and ligament damage taking a bouldering fall,it has a limited range of motion and my foot tends to turn heel inward when i pedal which forces my knee out of alignment which causes some calf tightness on that side as well as some chafing issues because my leg isnt staying in line while i pedal.im getting a stiffer soled shoe which should help since that heel tends to drop a bit when i pedal which is leading to the calf pain and the cleat on the shoe can be adjusted to compensate for the ankle drift to some degree so hopefully all together i can get that a bit more dialed in...
as i suspected,many of the initial pains have gone away as i train past them and gain the endurance and body toughness to sit in the saddle all day without it being an agony fest..

i can ride for about 3 hours or so at a time now and still recover after the ride,really i only need to be able to ride for 4-6 hours at a shot and be able to cover 50-60 miles in that time without it being just crushing,but that really starting to push it calorie wise,after that much i need to eat to continue,and eat a lot...

Bummer

 

[unclefishstick]

by this weekend i should be able to order my sleeping bag and hopefully i have fuel cartridges for the stove coming tomorrow,the only other thing i need really is some water bladders to carry a couple gallons of water and i should be set...
i got the moisture meter out tonight and i could for sure time things so i could leave over night and not come home to a wilted garden,in another week or two for sure since it will be cool during the day as well and the weather will be prime for camping since it will be cool enough at night to have a campfire and it be nice rather than why did we light a fire when its 90 out?
should even be enjoyable since i took the time to get in shape and learn to haul the trailer before i started trying to go on trips...now if i could only slow myself down....easier to do hauling...

Is it weird that after 11 weeks none of my plants have any amber?

co2?

 

[unclefishstick]

at least a little weird i would think...frankly i never really check all that closely aside from a macro shot here and there to check,the camera can tell much better than i can...

 

[Treetroit City]

I find it weird for sure. No amber at all, a lot of clear, I think it will test around 20 so it makes me wonder about the whole "wait for amber" dialog.

From what I understand THC-A dries and turns in to THC. THC-A seems to be there for early on. What does the amber bring?

Just talkin shit. So who knows?

 

[unclefishstick]

amber glands are just degraded glands in my opinion,if you want some amber just cure yourself i say...different market reality going on here but in general i dont really take anything to very much amber,just make the buzz sleepier is all i can tell...

Thank You!

That's how I feel, you know when a plant is good to go, don't need to see any colors to tell you when.

When they're good to go they're good to go.

Sometimes that means no degraded resin.

2nd time in a week i stayed up all night reading about these damn root aphids. To say im losing sleep over it would be an understatement. and the more i read, the more hopeless i feel. All these other guys, have these massive arsenals of super expensive stuff to kill the RA's. If i could, i would just finish this run, take clones, toss everything, and start over. But i cant afford to take the loss of a cycle. I need the medicine, and i cant exactly go to a dispensary. And the stuff i can get is way overpriced, and not close to what i produce. (not cause im a great grower, just because the buyers market just sucks here). So i guess the fight is on. Hopefully, i dont have them bad. I checked my sticky traps thouroghly, and all i see is fungus gnats, not one aphid. Sneaky bastards. Im glad that i at least caught them early. If it wasnt for this forum, id prolly have been screwed for the next couple years. Anyways, wish me luck fellas! im goin in.
