Also got to the PH and HR patches on a dry run. The tall GV2 in the PH patch is a male. I killed it and used the pollen on the GV3 there.

T-Pig is 45 - 1 = 44

The plant in the HR patch that had a partially broken stalk had died. Also found two GV1 males. I killed them both, but only used the pollen from one of them. And the GV1 that I thought was a male last week is a hermie. I didn't kill it since it is far away from anything else.

T-Pig is 44 - 3 = 41

Got down to FP patch. There were no worms.

The BST2 #3 had several buds that had to be cut out because of bud rot. I think I killed all the worms on her last week, but it must have been from the worm shit.

The BST1 had a spot of PM. I cut the bud out and gave it a light misting with the citrus, nut and fruit orchard spray. I will be picking up some lemon juice this afternoon.

BST #2 looking good with no issues, knock on wood.

The male and female CPDA in one hole in the ALe patch, just now starting to bloom, the first week of September. I know they were late starts, but damn they are going to be late finishing.

This morning I went by the GB patch. One of the plants was showing balls. I didn't dig down to see if it was the GV1 or the GV2, but it was the southern most one in the trench {the tall one}. {I'll look back when I have more time, and decide if I'm keeping it or not}

Yesterday I got to the GN patch with food and water. The BST1 had split where I had topped it. Just one small hurricane. . . . Anyway I didn't have any tape, so I propped it up with a branch. All seemed good until it fell again, really breaking this time. So now I have a little early bud.

I went back to FP patch this morning. There was a couple more buds that had bud rot on the BST2 {FP#3}.

But over all, she was looking alright.

BST1 didn't show any PM, but I went ahead with a light misting of lemon juice/water. All three plants are getting sticky, but this one is the most sticky.

I went through my pollen collection this morning and decided to hit the BP with some CP1 {#2BP}. I put a little in a paper bag and took it with me in the truck. But on the way I got to thinking about the 88 that was just showing male earlier in the week. It was a young plant, so not too big, but I like the looks of it. I decided to wait on the CP1 pollen and see if there were open sacks on the 88. So I left it in the truck, but took my duct tape to fix the split on the 88. Got back there, and it was too late to fix the split.. I hap propped it up the other day, but it had wilted to the point of dying. Also looks to me that it might be a hermie and not a male after all. I wish I had brought the other pollen now.

It's kind of close to another 88, but I will wait a few more days before deciding what to do. Very few 88's this year, and I hate to kill it. But on the other hand, I already have one 88 hermie in the GV patch.

This is the 88 that I thought was male. What do you guys think? As you can see, very few pollen sacks. And what about it just starting to flower in September? I never used to think it was late until I saw all the early strains on here.

This is the first time I have had to deal with very much bud rot. I clipped a couple of extra buds above and below the bad ones on the BST2 {#2FP}, just to be on the safe side. Almost dry, so I sat it on my food scale this morning. 7 grams counting seeds. Some of which appear to be mature. I'm going to try a couple of them Sunday, a good above ground day. If they pop, I'll put them out as a winter crop. It looks like I'm going to make plenty of seeds off her.

The tip of this bud felt funny, so I culled it too {after I got the seeds out of it}. It's the bit above the lighter and bowl. Smoke was kind of Neemy tasting, but very stony. {please excuse the trim job. Did it with thumb and fingers when they came out of paper bag} Not quite dry enough, so they went back in paper bag, in shoe box, in bedroom. That is where I dry small amounts like this.

It looks all male to me, no sneaky pistils but you'll know better than anyone.
I love your thread by the way your showing what can be achieved in the wild if your determined, how many girls total do you think you have left at this point?

I'll know for sure in a few days. Maybe the hurricane breaking it in half slowed it down, but I expected to see shoots coming up by now. Or maybe I was just there a day or two ago, and it just seems longer.

My T-Pig would put me with 30 something girls. Only about 10-15 of them are what you would call good lookers. A lot of the older stuff in the Darwin Dope patches are fading now. I just couldn't get enough food and water to them when they needed it. And I've messed around and killed my biggest plant, the Deer Ate CP1 {and possibly one more CP1} from too big a jolt of food. She was getting twice the food and water of the BP patch, and I just got a little too greedy with her. Now she is 11 feet and still growing, but she is dying at the same time. I did damage to the root zone, so I have been told. It doesn't look good. That hurts worse than the deer ate or hurricane broke stuff, because it was all my fault.

I had time limitations this morning. {AC went out. Repairman was coming, not sure when} So I did a swift run to the SOL patch and gave the BP a light dusting with CP1 {#2BP}. It was several hours before the thunderstorm, so maybe it had time to take.

Also food and water. Forgot the Epsom salts and brown sugar though.
