My intro and bona fides...

Yesterday my friend (head gardener for recreational grow here in Washington) stopped by. I was showing him my cellar that the ladies and I noticed this pure white 'something' on some of the buds of Blue Orca. We both agreed that it wasn't PM but it's been over 8 weeks and I'm not taking any chances that it might be bad. So I harvested BO yesterday at day 57.

It's been cloudy and raining the last couple of days here in the PNW. My Goblin Queen seedling that I pollinated has been having some PM issues. So rather than let the PM get anymore developed I took her down today. The seeds are mature so keeping her out in the weather made no sense to me.

Harvest time in the cellar...

Harvest time in the cellar...

It's been 60 days since the flip and these ladies are ready to be taken. I've had a good run this time but Halo is showing the beginnings of PM. I can't see it with my eyes but the camera always shows it. I'm going to clean up the room and work on finishing my new flower area.

If you look close you can see some PM beginning to form. It's just starting so rather than let it go any further I chopped her last night and she is hanging in my drying area.

Harvest time

Harvest time

My last 3 ladies went for 68 days before I finally decided to take them. They were bud bowing and look liked they were on their final days.

If I didn't have them tied up they would all be reaching for the floor instead of the lights. I love me some heavy buds though.

Here is Goblin Girl sister still showing some growth but she's the only one.

I got my Halo trimmed and here is the main cola.

So that is it for this run. I'll put up some pictures of the next line up. I have to clean the room first.

My next run...

My next run...

After I cleaned up my flower area I took 6 teenagers and put them into 5 gallon pots and began LST'ing them. They aren't ready to flip so I'm running them in veg mode for the next 3-4 weeks. Here is what I have.

You may be able to read the labels but in case you can't here is what I'm running.

The rainy days of the PNW have taken another of my outdoor girls, a Goblin Queen. I found some bud rot/mold on one of her buds. I've seen this before where the bud turns black and dies off. It is a little early but rather than let all the buds rot I chopped her down.

I have 7 plants I'm hoping can go 11 more days. The Cascadian Frost is looking real good and seems to be a great outdoor plant. My Mazar-I-Shariff x Guerrero is starting to turn colors. If I get some sun I'll take a picture of them. My outdoor girls are about 6' tall but nothing like those NoCal growers.

I'm already making plans for next summer and will be using light dep to get them into flower mode around mid-July. That should get them finished here in the PNW. I'm learning as I go. I haven't really grown outside in a very long time.

Ourdoor run coming to a close...

Ourdoor run coming to a close...

I just need about 9 more days of decent weather for my outdoor ladies. My Cascadian Frost is looking fine and not showing any PM or bud rot. So I hope she goes on like that for the next week or so.

This Neon Purps was put outside about a month later then the other ladies when I discovered the Original Diesel wasn't a lady. She isn't as tall as the rest of the ladies

These next 3 are my seed mothers.

Looking forward to seeing the neon purp again. Fun stuff, beaut's of plants there Pak.

Thanks HatchBrew for the compliment. This is my last run with Neon Purps though. It is a pretty plant to grow but the quality is just below what I want for my cellar. Don't get me wrong, the quality is above average but I've got some top shelf girls in my stable and I just don't have room for her.

I gave 2 clones to my dispensary grow friend because he likes it for the dispensary. It does have great bag appeal.

Hoping you get a good stretch of weather to the finish Pakalolo!

The weather report is saying that we'll have nice days until Friday when the rain moves back in. So I'm planning on taking the ladies down this coming Thursday.

We had such a nice weekend I thought I'd get some last bud shots. These ladies are all (but the Neon Purps) taller than 6' so it's hard to get pictures. A couple of these aren't as clear as I would like.

This weekend I finally crawled under the house and laid in 2 of the 3 wires for my 120V circuits I'm adding to the cellar. I just need my nephew to come over and do the panel work and I'll do the under the house work.

I've got my two new 4x4' flower areas just about done. I need the electricity for the fans and to put the doors on. I took a picture but the 1000W MH caused the room on the left to look dark.

Here is what the dark room looks like.
