I was lucky enough to try some of it before I grew it, it is amazing. Very nice medicating smoke!
If it isn’t a Lady bug, it could be an Asian lady beetle. They look pretty much the same.
I can’t remember how to tell them apart…but I know the Asian lady beetles will and can bite you!
I just used a cordless drill and a drill bit, but both techniques will get the job done for sure!
Thank you very much! We have had an unusual dry year here the last 2 years. (in the summer months)
Today I harvested and bud washed the C99 x Orange Goji from @ShiskaberrySavior
It could have gone a bit longer, but I got worried and decided to harvest it now.
Better to have some, then none at all if it were to get bud rot etc.
I think it will be some decent smoke. My hands sure were sticky after dealing with it.
This was all Mother Natures doing!
All I did was add water and every now an then some liquid nutrients along the way.
The good genetics helped of course too!
Still have more hacking/trimming/bud washing to do.
I would have liked to let the plants go a bit longer, but I am happy I have started chopping, I found a small amount of bud rot on the Blockhead. We still have warm days, but the night and early mornings are chilly and can get alot of morning dew.
So far this outdoor season has been a win, I can’t complain.
It sure has been alot of work. Still more to go, but I am over half way done I believe…I hope… LOL.
The budwashing adds alot of more work too. It is definitely necessary though, not the just the amount of bugs, but the amount of smoke and ashes from the near by fires. The water I dump out is dirty as fuck.
If they got one you’d be giggling all the way home . Ya doesn’t hurt to ask or they might have a connection to someone that has bought one that rents it out.
No, I haven’t went to the local shop yet, they are closed Sundays, and today being a holiday (Thanksgiving in Canada) they are closed as well.
Luckily I only got the Swack Hammer left to chop.
I will for sure be looking into finding one in the future though! Would save so much time.
Like you said, even if I could rent one, would be a huge help! I will be asking them for sure next time I am there.
All the outdoor plants have been trimmed and stored away.
Even though I harvested a bit early, I still think this was a successful outdoor crop this year.
If I let it go any longer, I would have had problems with powdery mildew, bud rot, and also the plants would have been covered in more ashes from nearby forest fires. Bugs were getting bad, a bud wash is definitely a wonderful thing to clean all the shit out of outdoor plants. I washed the buds a few times.
I am happy with the harvest, I will be able to make lots of edibles and pain cream.
My indoor mother plants got spider mites again this year.
I threw all the mother plants away, and I even threw away the tent they were in. The zipper was screwed on it anyways.
I am down to one tent, for now, until I get a new one.
I have started a new project in the tent, but it will be a secret for now.
Here are some seeds soaking, I had some more not in this picture soaking as well. October 19th is when I started soaking them.
All seeds that germinated have been planted, although no pictures of them for this update.
got them claws out like why didn’t you give me canna-leaves!
