I only had to spray BT once so far this year too, I've never noticed how many bats we have around here but we have a lot! And boy do they help! You and my buddy out in Folsom were the first to clue me off that they were the ones giving me worm grace. Great trimming weather, I'm in between plants at the moment. I keep looking at my watch, and looking at this plant, and looking at my watch... and looking at this plant.... any second now.... hahaha.

Hey there Treeman. I'm back, and calmed down. I just freaked when I saw my girls. I thought the PK was done too, by the color of the buds. But when I look under the scope, I am only seeing a little amber, mostly white. I was going to start trimming tomorrow. Should I wait though, for more amber?

Hey Fumble-
I say take it now, (damn I hate dis-agreeing with Wheezer, dude's knows his shit!) I just herd the weatherman say rains expected here tomorrow night, I think no need to wait any longer, I feel the risk out weighs the reward at this point. When the fan leaves turn yellow all the way up the plant, she's ripe! She'll turn a bit more amber when drying, and I like to harvest when the tri-combs are 20%-30% amber, hell to be honest I don't even look at the tri-combs any more, I just look at the plant as a whole.
Good luck, glad all is not lost!

P.S. What week of flowering is that PK in....11th, 12th???

Thanks TMB and Wheezer. I am going to start chopping and trimming today. I do have covers for the rain, so that wont be a problem. I can't wait til it is dried and cured. Hella excited. Maybe I will leave some of the bottom stuff go a little longer for that couchlock high.
I just looked at my calendar and she is at 12 weeks TMB. Assuming I got the beginning date right. lol. Next year I will be a calendar marking mofo.

I think that's a great idea, most now some later!
I'm on the harvest a bit early because I found 3 BIG FAT KOLAS that had rot in them. Last year I learned my lesson, I waited, even though they were covered, I still got TONS of bud rot just because of the moisture in the air/ground, just on the gigantic fattest kolas So 50% -60% of the fattest Kolas were taken the last couple days/today, the rest will be slowly harvested, try'n to let them "ripen up" and turn purple before I take them. By Friday most of the Mad Purps will be harvested, just leaving the unripened buds to ripen up. The buds left to ripen up will be sweeter and that couch lock effect!

What's the rain projection down your way? Were only talking an inch or less here so not much chance of mold if there's no rotted buds left on plant. Probabley more damage from weight of the water resting on buds and breaking branches?

Rain expected Monday night, then another storm late Tuesday, most of Wednesday, chance on Thursday.
Everything's covered, I think it's more the strain vs. the weather...The Mad Purps when the HUGE buds are near ripe, they tend to want to start molding with just moist air/ground. I seen it happening already this year, just being safer then sorry!

Agree, Have those 2 new strains that I'm unsure of but will let then go. About 2 weeks or so on the Kush's the rest are 1 week to 10 days and their out of there. The White Queen I'll have to keep a close eye on cause she's prone to mold but worth the chance cause of her THC content, around 25%. Gotta love the Medi all done and in jars already..lol

Hello all-
Almost a month since my last update, busy month.
October and April are my two busiest months at work, add on top of that the harvest, my son's football schedule (made all-stars, but lost their playoff game last night), hardly a dull moment. The next two weeks his football and basketball schedule over-lap each other, going to be crazy!
Harvest report....
The 4 Mad Purps produced 7.5 lbs. I'm guessing plant #1 was 12-14 oz, plant #2 was 3+lbs, a true monster for that strain, plant #3 10-12 oz, and plant #4 (cousin it) 2.5+lbs. Very tough strain to grow outdoors because I only have clones of this strain, and when introduced to the garden in June from a 15-9 indoor light schedule they want to start flowering, even with artificial lighting to keep then on a 15-9 schedule. This is why the large difference in production numbers.
The SR-71's are HUGE right now. If the Mad Purps produced 7.5lbs, I'm guessing that the SR-71's will be over 10lbs for the 4 plants total, 12-14 lbs wouldn't surprise me either. 2 are for sure 3+ponderers, so much weight right now on those plants. Looks like next Monday (Nov 7th) the harvest starts for them. I need to get them down and done before Thanksgiving.
Rambling on, medicated on the Mad Purps...

Hell yeah, glad Cousin It was a heavy one. SR-71 sounds insane. Looks like the gophers didn't trip you up to bad at all. If you walked away with 20lbs from this grow, I think you'd be sitting pretty for the rest of the year.

Just the 1 plant the gophers got. I agree, between 18-20 total is my guess, I'll be very happy with those numbers, knock on wood, still a lot of work in front of me, not to the finish line yet, but I can see it.

You going to the BBQ?

You know how time consuming that sports stuff can be, and the all-star practices are an hour+ away, 4 days next week, then the game is 2 hours away.
The SR-71 has a fruity smell to it, not over-powering like the Mad Purps has. I can see the buds are all milky white, ready for harvest next week.

I know this may be a stupid question, but the plants that wanted to flower were the lower yielders, right? Are some strains more resistant to swapping from veg to flower mode? What kind of things (if any) make a plant less resistant to early flowering? Thanks guys, happy Halloween! This will prob be a major factor in next year cuz I won't be starting from seed!
