    Mango Smile, day 1

    Day 89 - chop planned for Saturday. looking frosty, and dense as hell; gonna be a bountiful harvest… I’m taking Sep - Dec off from growing, don’t want to run anything over the holidays and just don’t have the time to do that. I’ll have to adjust the schedule a bit next year to get in a last...

    Mango Smile, day 1

    I will post up some pics tomorrow of the 2 Mango Smile plants in the tub; they are deep into the fade and chunky as hell. In the meantime, here is a collage I made of an eagle snatching a fish. 10 frames a second, 16 shots. I had to adjust brightness on the margins but they stitched together...

    Mango Smile, day 1

    Day 79 and going strong. I’m not losing a ton of leaves to yellowing, and the buds are swelling and stacked. I’m gonna let these go to around day 90 and maybe beyond, I have the time so why not? I had them under just the suspended LED for a couple of days to give them a breather, they get the...

    Mango Smile, day 1

    here is the grow enclosure, all buttoned up. There are Mylar covered foam core panels reflecting light back into the enclosure above and below the T5 light hanging at the front of the enclosure, and a Mylar covered panel reflecting light back into the enclosure below the T5 light. Not too many...

    Mango Smile, day 1

    The inside ones are still sprinting toward the finish line. They’ve been on Nectar for the Gods Roman regimen for their entire life (with adjuncts along the way), and are really filling in and packing on trichromes. the lighting schedule is spread out during the lighting period in intensity...

    Mango Smile, day 1

    Sure thing, it’ll be about a month or so…but it’s in the calendar. I’m anxious to see how these turned out too!

    Finishing the 2022 outdoor season in SW Virginia - gonna be a challenge

    These were taken in the golden hour today, after they were in full sun from 0840 to1800 today. My patio runs due East-west along its long axis, so once the sun clears the back side of the house, they are in full sun all day and the sun passes directly overhead. they are on the NFTG Roman...

    Mango Smile, day 1

    I just cleaned it up - the two glass globes were sticky as hell and it runs clean as hell now…I still can’t take in a full hit but all ya have to do is turn the globes horizontal and it stops pushing the smoke out. I cleaned out my bong too - and not sure when I’ll use that again TBH. The...

    Finishing the 2022 outdoor season in SW Virginia - gonna be a challenge

    The 3Bears OG I just grew at the GF house have a claimed harvest period of 60 - 70 days from sprout. I took mine down at day 65 and they were not huge by any means, but had well developed bud sites and were coated in trichomes. This was my second harvest from her place this summer; what I miss...

    Mango Smile, day 1

    I took the pic before the yellow sticky traps were placed…here they are now. Another benefit of the milk crates…I ran out of large binder clips; will get more and cover all the exposed sides

    Mango Smile, day 1

    I’m from VT and remember seeing huge webbing in oak trees in the fall from caterpillars - so big and thick you could not see thru them. Couple years there was a big problem with them killing off fully mature trees, so some locales sprayed pretty heavily in Aug/Sep/Oct. I hate putting anything...

    Finishing the 2022 outdoor season in SW Virginia - gonna be a challenge

    i was referring to auto flowering plants and they can go from seed to harvest in as little as 60 days- that’s what I grow since i can squeeze 2 harvests in one outdoor growing season, and don’t have to obsess over light leaks. My patio has some solar lighting I don’t want to sacrifice, and I...

    Mango Smile, day 1

    Yeah, in some respects it was a tough call since the outdoor plants obviously had a ways to go to fill in and grow larger flowers/colas, but I was gonna lose them to all kinda problems at this time of year around here…gotta know when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. On top of that, Ruby told...

    Mango Smile, day 1

    And, here are the two Mango Smiles still chugging along indoors. If you put these next to the two I grew outdoors, it’d be easy to assume they were different plants. Outdoors were tall, lanky and had significant internodal spacing. The indoor ones are not as tall, and there is very little...

    Finishing the 2022 outdoor season in SW Virginia - gonna be a challenge

    These are a MB15 and a OG Kush photoperiod clones a great buddy gave me, they’ve been growing outdoors for a couple of months. I have them in 5 gallon square cloth bags in milk crates (go figure, i think I have around 15 milk crates now - gotta love ‘em). they are encased in square tomato...

    Mango Smile, day 1

    I took down the 2 outdoor Mango Smiles a couple days ago - I’d been spraying with BTI in early flowering, and that held the caterpillars at bay for a while but I was finding more of them every day, so I pulled them at day 63, well short of the advertised 70 -90 day harvest period. I probably...

    Mephisto 3 Bears OG outdoors at my wonderful GF house

    The harvest went quickly with the GF and a grow buddy and his wife; it was a social occasion as much as a trimming session which was cool. I/we were very, very generous in tossing stuff into the larf bucket, so buds went in there that coulda been trimmed down, but they woulda been tiny, so we...

    Mephisto 3 Bears OG outdoors at my wonderful GF house

    Yeah the Cannatrol has been running for quite a while; it really does a great job… I trimmed them heavily today in the sun to prepare for,the chop tomorrow. Right now they are in the dog/laundry room, which is the coolest room in the house (around 65 degrees) with a fan blowing directly down...
