It is a 20-year no charge lease.
Essentially, I produce electricity and I consume electricity.
The panels produce electricity that I pay about 50% on the dollar to consume, and sell to the grid for 100% of the actual rate. If I consume too much, I buy from the grid at rate. I build up a credit in the summer and zero out just before spring. Then I start shutting down.

I need to look into something like this. The land I have cleared for my cabin has excellent sun coverage, would be great for solar.

If I can just keep Jeffrey Sessions out of my hair, I might be able to keep it a while.

Probably strikingly similar genes 
Do you have the occasional weird deformity/discoloration, too? Itās slightly unsettling, but the plants seem happy, so meh.
Yeah, the one I have in flower is going to be a tall girl ā I noticed some yellowing on the oldest fan leaves, so was about to go give her some extra nitrogen. Do you keep up vegging-level nitrogen for your Blueberry through the whole stretch?

No deformities, but it does have very light green leaves rather than the dark blue-green I remember from the Blueberry strain I had 15 years ago.
I donāt give it any extra (N) after about day 10 of flowering(12/12).

Day 20. This is it, donāt get scared now.
I love that sudden transition where the stretch slows and pistils start shooting out like crazyā¦ you can actually see plants growing from one day to the next.
Pretty smooth going for the moment. The Roots Organic Original is running out of steamā¦ at least for nitrogen, so I did a little topdressing with those two and gave them some delicious emulsified fish.
The Blueberry is the one most lacking in nitrogen ā probably about 10% of fan leaves have signs of nitrogen deficiency. The breeder pack says ā45-55 days,ā which sounds low, but Iām betting on an 8-week finish for her, anyway.
The large Apollo 11 in Roots Organic is starting to eat through a few of the useless leaves that havenāt seen light in 2 months, but slowly at this point.
The two in SBPGM are happy as clams that donāt have any apparent nutrient deficiencies.
Hereās the Blueberry:

Baby update, day 31 of 12/12ā¦
Things are chugging along, everyoneās still drinking an absurd amount. The Roots Organic is fresh out of nitrogen, and my topdressing+EWC did not seem to make a huge difference ā so, those two girls are on the bottle. The SBPGM girls are doing much betterā¦ some yellowing leaves, but not as widespread and slower.
While my Tangilope+Papaya+Wreckage flower run smelled like sangria, and my summer disaster run didnāt smell much at all, my tent now smells like feet, garlic, and pine-sol. The lady of the house is being very tolerant.
Pic time!
Blueberry:
Mr. @Scissor-Hanz wasnāt kidding about the long stretch ā between days 21 and 31, she went from 27.5" to 31", though this seems to be tapering off. Starting to bulk up nicely, and there are some hints of blue in the buds
ChemD x Sunshine Daydream:
Frosty and chunky, yield has the potential to be ridiculous. I am very sad that my clone didnāt make it, but Iāll try to revegā¦ and if that doesnāt work, hopefully the other beans give me a gem like this girl.
Thatās all for now ā hopefully Iāll get some time this weekend to show off the Apollo 11 tentacle monsters.

Day 41 of 12/12ā¦
Oh look, there are plants and they are doing things.
Apollo 11 No. 1 (Roots Organic soil, 5 gal):
Doingā¦ fine. Cat tail buds, sparkly, will be many hours of pain in trim jail
Kind of a floppy mess, but these things happen.
Apollo 11 No. 2 (SBPGM soil, 3 gal):
Doing better than the Roots Organic one
Iām hoping this is just due to overall plant health and not a different phenotype, as my clone of this one did not rootā¦ Looks like she could go for a while, but weāll see. Slightly less of a floppy mess than her sister, but also in a smaller pot.
ChemD x Sunshine Daydream (SBPGM soil, 8 gal):
: So long, and thanks for all the chips.
You can stop now, girl. I get it, youāre awesome. Weāre best friends forever. Except for the part where I donāt have a clone
Blueberry No. 2 (Roots Organic, 3 gal):
Yep, sheās solidly purple. Still plumping up a bit, and has actually shot out a fresh round of pistils in the past couple of days. Sheās built like a tank ā not even close to needing stakesā¦ the Apollo 11s lean on her for support.
ā¦ aside from topping, only training is pulling the 6 main branches down at the start of flowering. Skyscraper. Assuming she smokes like the Blueberry Iāve had in the past, I have a keeper here

Iām going to give it a whirl, yeah. I just got back from my Christmas travels, and was hit with a wave of her skunk powers as I opened my front door 
If reveg fails, I have some more beans for thatāunā¦ still shocked this was a freebie ā have a couple more Bodhi packs to try, and Iām pretty damn impressed so far

Day 51 of 12/12:
Itās late fall in the tent, which is to say itās cold and everything is turning pretty colors. With the recent cold snap around these parts, my night temps have dipped down to 50Āŗfā¦ not so good for overall plant metabolism, probably has an impact on yield, but at this point Iāve got enough ā I just want these puppies to ripen. Theyāre drinking less, so the ripening will begin soonā¦
Blueberry No. 2 (Roots Organic, 3 gal):
Not a huge change over the past ten days, other than color. Yield should be okay, trimming will be hell. Has a tart/sweet smell which is quite pleasant. The overall structure still shocks meā¦ branches grow straight up, almost no secondary branches. When I chop this down, I think itāll be a total of 12 branches to dry.
Apollo 11 No. 2 (SBPGM soil, 3 gal):
The two Apollo 11s are chugging alongā¦ still putting on a bit of weight, but mostly in foxtailing rather than chunking up. Long, skinny buds on an absurdly branchy plant ā the opposite of Blueberry. The pics above are from the 3-gallon girlā¦ the 5-gallon plant is hard to photograph as very little of it is upright at this point
ChemD x Sunshine Daydream (SBPGM soil, 8 gal):
Chunky, dense, sticky, delicious. I think this is the one giving off the skunky smell (A11 seems more spicy, Blueberry moreā¦ blueberry), but after staking her up yesterday, I couldnāt figure out the smell at all
Sweet, but not really fruityā¦ maybe a floral honey bubblegum? No amber yet, but think sheāll be done before 9 weeks.
The great big floppy mess of a group:
