I need to get out back with the jewelers loupe again and check on the autos. Specifically Candy Dawg. She’s past her date listed. Damn it’s hot out there today… I don’t wanna go out there, but I want my bud. lol Actually I was out there this morning giving the big girls water. The first time all season that I saw a slight leaf droop telling me they want water in the planters. I have yet to figure out why they have hardly wanted water since I planted them. These are the new planters too. We did get rain this winter, guess the empty beds just collected water since nothing was in them at the time. My guess is though that the tap roots are a lot then @Tinytuttle thinks they are. I mean there are 4 monster plants in one planter and 2 in the other and they may have gotten water once every 2 weeks all season and they weren’t even asking for it.

Just a few more feet until you hit the electrical wires
Luckily Dad is a retired electrician and said those 2 wires aren’t hot and yes I’ve worried that the cherry berry white may actually touch one. The scary one is far enough away. lol

Botafumeiros and Holy punch are budding now.
Waiting on DBHP and Strawberry Diesels.
Charlottes Angel CBD topped it again, hoping to bush it out some more before she buds.
Took Jezzy out back to pee and was surrounded by a cloud of sour cherry/berry smell. Took me a minute and identified the source. Guess who? The Cherry Berry White. I’ve never grown either of these strains on their own let alone crossed, but it is easy to see where they got the names.
So here I am like a little kid who can’t stop going outside to look at the plants. Buds are just starting to stack and I’m looking around like it’s my birthday. When I say they are starting to stack, I’m talking feet and feet of bud on these long branches, like BAM! Jungle Spice although the shortest out there just has these mega spears that are so dense already and the buds are still just beginning. Most exciting thing ever! It makes me want to do a dance… Please Universe, let it be an uneventful grow and allow me to harvest this blessing!
Pretty incredible what happens outside huh! The big MH in the SKY has it going on…so does the fresh air and wind. I see DIFFERENT expressions in my plants from inside to outside, like 2 completely different strains.
Look at you with your perpetual harvest!!!
I think we can award her a new karate belt or whatever
Looking damn good there in your garden @meesh I’m glad your killing it there! But on the flip side ya have to be getting a little nervous with all that potential bud coming in the next months!
I’m really glad it’s working out. Dad still had to hit the dispensary a few times this year. Next year shouldn’t be a problem…
Yeah, I’m sure it will get worse as the smell gets stronger too. lol Still have a few more months to go. Anything could happen. The thought of bugs or Mother Nature scare me less than humans though…
Just had a Bambi moment… “Mother, why is everyone running?”
Mother: “Man is in the forest.”
Charlotte’s Angel is budding. The Good Shit looks like some good shit, It’s super frosty and screams dank. Not pink yet, but it’s still early. Still can’t stop looking at all that bud and it’s still small which is very large already. Already know that I don’t have anywhere to store it all. A lot of it’s going to Dad’s house, plus how the hell do you burp like 4447 mason jars a day? Start on one end and start closing them up as soon as you get finished at the other? Oof. Okay, then 1/3 to my man’s house, 1/3 to Dad’s… lol
Still can’t stop staring at the budding plants though. I am just stoked that I kept them alive this long. The amount of bud that’s already forming is overwhelming and I’m still waiting on the DBHP and Strawberry Diesels to start. I’m really eagle-eyeing the autos too. A few are coming down really soon. Every one that’s budding right now is different too. Can’t wait to sample them all.
the sounds of mason jars a popping… must be near christmas…
That’s when you upgrade to the plastic storage bin aka “tote”
i.e. 30 gallon vs. a quart jar…
You are way beyond madonna jars girl.
For larger amounts, get some big plastic totes to cure in. Burp the tote. I’m sure you will see a ton of them available at home de pot in the coming months. Another option is turkey bags. They are food grade and air tight, should be able to fit pound in there. For long term storage I would vacuum seal them, if you have one.

Fed all autos except seedlings Megacrop 2
@Pedro_Bann I think you are right about the big girls. I think the harvest will be staggered, at least some of the plants. My guess is Jungle Spice and Good Shit will be first. Followed by Cherry Berry White, OG skunk, Kushage, botafumeiros and Holy Punch…Strawberry Diesels and DBHP haven’t even started to bud yet.
Thinking they will all be at least a week or two apart. I expect the diesels and DBHP will be a good month later at least.
The 2 strawberry diesels are finally throwing pistils. They’ve grown quite a bit in height. Still spindly though with small stalk and branches. DBHP is throwing out some more pistils and female flowers finally too.
Checked trichomes on 5 close autos… FM 3 is the closest oddly enough. It’s entirely cloudy, no ambers. Gonna give it a few more days max. If it even slightly starts to dry up I’m pulling it, amber trichomes be damned. Got a real good look at The Candy Dawg that was supposed to finish Day 56 today. It’s 10 days past and still looks like it could go as long as another week.
