Argh! Curse you! You shipping out of state or just a smooth talker? Eh, maybe it's better if you didn't answer that question, lol. But as long as the big truck hasn't made it to So Cal yet, I'll be in the clear. I just need these other plants to finish flushing! Chopping down another outdoor girl as we speak, just a little one, a Pink Lemonade in a 5 gal bucket. Caterpillars really ate her up though, really pulled down on her yield.
Hey everybody, my temps are getting down to 39 tonight. Everything should be okay but it makes me nervous, what the lowest temp you've got this season? I think this indoor money is going straight into a small hoop house to keep the girls warm.

Tomorrow. All Day until I'm done. Gonna make bamboo splints and try to mend the broken branches on my plants that were damaged by the heavy rains last night. It's gonna take a lotta luck but I'm gonna have these babies all staked up and the colas will be pointing at the sun by the end of the day. After that, with a few sunny days over 70 degrees, as predicted, I'll be back on track (that's the optimistic scenario). Otherwise, everything that was damaged will have to be harvested a couple weeks early and I'll be scrambling to get it all trimmed. Either way, it's going to be a crazy ass week ahead!

By the way folks, a good friend of mine who is a veteran grower, told me that if done properly broken branches that are patched together right and that have even a quarter inch of connected wood (not completely broke in two), will recover. I'm crossing my fingers.

Wind split one of my plants last week, She probably had at least a quarter inch, maybe more like a half inch still connecting. I taped her up, and she made it to harvest just fine, which was like last night. She didn't "heal" or at least she didn't "mend" but the damaged spot scabbed over and she took in water just fine. Just watch those taped spots for rot!

I've patched a few branches that I thought in no way would make it and damn if they didn't produce some of the nicest buds on the plant. Good luck, hope they all recover.
I tried to say this earlier .
Good luck in triage everyone .

How do you gauge a good harvest?
Is it the yield or potency or is it taste and smell?
Would you be just as happy with a large yield but less potent, less aromatic bud as you would with a smaller more potent sweet smelling crop.
Does it even matter to you, meaning, you're happy just getting to harvest a crop let alone worrying about the other stuff.
The reason I'm asking is that there are some of us here that are growing on a completely separate level/scale, one I can only imagine in my wildest dreams of having. I'm happy in the fact that I'm going to have something, anything to smoke at the end of this season but I sit here and I wonder how you guys actually gauge yours...

" Would you be just as happy with a large yield but less potent, less aromatic bud as you would with a smaller more potent sweet smelling crop." A lot of this will be pre decided by choice of genetics and then it's up to grower to perfect it. So to me it would be Growing the strain to the best I could to what I know it to be but most importantly just getting to the cure without problems that cost yield or smell. Any properly cured bud to the jars is a good harvest.

Being able to harvest is a win outdoors if ya ask me! But like TWS its all about the Genes and you can fuck your harvest up without drying and curing properly!

I prefer to rate my dank on potency, taste, smell, looks and density. Potency and high yielder alone does not good bud. If it taste like shit, I don't care how high it gets me, its still shit weed. Drying and Curing play a part in the rating to since they determine the quality of taste, smell, smoke-ability.

Thanks for all of your replies, I'm a happy medium guy for now. I still have a ton learning to do so I'm willing to except some minor flaws in my end result.
I've heard that it takes a bit for the thc to become psychoactive and that the curing process in some way increases not only taste but potency is this true or am I delusional?
