Faking it til I make it

I am worried about them. I've made a couple threads about em. I'm not sure what to do. BT from what I can see is the best choice. Spray in veg and a couple weeks of flower? Is that the general rule? Taste will just be shittier?

Looking good! FYI, BT is a bacteria strain that dines on bud worms and gnats (not exactly,but renders them dead). No taste issues to bud in my experience.

I just applied a neem and dish soap Foliar. Would that defend against worms?

That might work but not a product I care to use in late flower due to smell. Good luck!

Definitely about a pound...

I read somewhere in the New England thread that flowers should start showing up anywhere from tomorrow to the 13th. I'm cool with all this vegetation and pistils.. push some fuckin flowers out!

Also the twigs I put in solo cups at the start of this thread are starting to amount to something

Just have the urge to share this view from z observatory approximately 8 feet above the ground. Some plants are filling out faster and fuller than others.. I'm sure they'll finish at different times. I think I want to make one last topsoil feeding.. or maybe two? I'm not sure when I should stop feeding.

Anyways Check out my video...

Myself like many good growers i know feed right until last 2 weeks.

Nice. Watch out for rippers in the night, your whole neighborhood is probably eyeing them. Tracking chips and webcams are useful. Finish strong!

I know man I never expected them to get this big. Can't wait til it's over. I think 2 of them will be ready in maybe 3 weeks

The first hard rain and wind storm hit pretty hard and had a couple keel over.

I have an odd set up. They're in 5 gallon smart pots but the roots have grown through the pots into the soil. When they fell over, the pot fell over too ripping the roots growing through the pots.

What can I expect? They look healthy as of now

Bump..... do people still to do that?

Have you had any ill effects from the roots pulling up?

I have. My white widdow's leaves have gone droopy and now starting to discolor. With the loupe I can see some ambers here and there, but mostly milky and clear from what I can make out. Given the leaves are becoming discolored and a few browning, should i harvest? I still have 4 more to look forward to.

Here's a pic of her condition. Thinking its chop chop for her. Can I get inter-observer agreement?

You would know better than me. I've had to chop so much early due to rot, I might not know what ripe looks like anymore.

So I ended up chopping the white widow due to her haggard appearance. I wish I teacup a bit more before hand; afterwards read that it's better to not cut the leaves before drying so no moisture leaks out causing rapid drying and harsh smoking run on sentence much?

Nonetheless I cut the leaves off for this one but I don't think I will be for the other 6.

Now, I think I can safely ask without fear of judgement; how much do you think I'll yield?

Overall I'm very happy with the results from This grow. I learned a lot and produced a lot as well. A lot was rubbish due to rot. I learned I need a shelter in times of heavy rain for sure. The strains I thought were on pace to produce the most, actually produced the least. I used the product terpenez at the end with every watering. I'm not sure if it made a difference. All organic nutes. They were able to grow to over 6 feet because the roots grew through the 5 gallon smart pots into the soil below. I started chopping oct1 bc a storm knocked over white widow and broke the roots. And every week I would dry with a dehumidifier until Sunday and cut andother batch to dry until next Sunday. Until the buds were crispy and stems bent pretty easily but didnt snap in two. Then, to cure, I put the nugs in a jar with boda 62. Here is a nug of "the church", which produced the most and seems to have the best quality (tbd haven't tried super lemon haze yet). Also family pic... until next year...
