Love these mutations beautiful

Middle row, far left sprout. The leaf blades look considerably more narrow bladed than the other SW sprouts. The mom plant that displayed the most red had very narrow leaf blades. Gonna be watching that one

Alot is in this journal, but I like soil still. My own mix, I get a yard or two of some rich black dirt delivered yearly for the veggie garden and beds here, I just add perlite, coco, peat, blood and bone meal, green sand, and working on adding other amendments. but its gotta be at least 40% perlite with how heavy this soil is⌠Working on the whole training aspect, but I havenât bothered too much and with autos being my focus lately, not gonna get much practice. As you can see my photo tent looks like a jungle, minimally defoliated and not trained at allâŚ

A little update on the outside ladies. Checked on em tonight and pulled off two nugs with rot, but the rest of the ladies still looks good⌠Gonna push em for a little longer since weather seems ok for the next week with only one day of rain, and lots of warmer nice days still. Currently over 6t tall

I wish! well, maybe not, then they would be pretty obvious to passers-byâŚ
Thanks for the compliments though guys⌠I personally think the outside ladies look like shit when I look at all those well taken care of ladies some of you have. Bushes with clubs, not a yellow, torn or tattered leaf in sight, no bug issues⌠My ladies had a rough life by comparison. Slugs ravaged em in August, worst year for slugs ever⌠Wet summer kept em watered thankfully. Autos hated August, but the photos only started to bud late august so the rot stayed away then. And even now, I am shaded from 11-2 when I wasnât shaded then in June, dang sun setting lower in the sky has put some trees in the way of direct sun. 20 years ago those were fields without a tree in sight, today its young forest with openings. Will be in a different place for sure next year. like 100ft northwest of where they are now, those little changes will certainly help.
But I AM looking forward to em. Two have a lemon pledge kinda smell, and one has an unmistakable strawberry scent. Sadly no cuts, and no clue WTF the seeds are (came from pacific scam bank)âŚ

I did some in my early 20s. They grew out of the cornfield. I figured out later on it was best to plant deeper out in the cornfield. It was always a giveaway. Lol. But to be honest you got a know what youâre looking for Iâm sure you know that I donât know how many times I walked up on something and thought it was the real thing and it turned out to be something else thatâs why I like cover crops. I was like @JohnnyPotseed back in the day probably not as extreme as he was. Just some good old country boys

Around here the goal was to keep em shorter, but surround em with stuff people / animals donât wanna tangle with. Brambles / black caps / blackberries / raspberries were a great deterrent, but rarely hit 6ft tall, and in fall, as leaves drop, if your typical weed plant was still a bright green 6ft christmas tree, it REALLY was obvious. Concord grapes grow wild here as well and they can hide things nicely till mid september, but then they lose their giant leaves and everything is obvious again. Not many corn fields here, mainly dairy cowsâŚ

Well, the outside ladies got the chop today⌠Found more rot on the strawberry scented one so I decided to chop her. In bucking her down I found more rot so decided to take down the others as well, considering the rate they were gaining any weight was not gonna be faster than what the rot would take.
So, having read here about washing buds, and never having done it before, I picked up hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and lemon juice today. Set up 4 bins, H2O2 > Baking soda & Lemon Juice > rinse 1 > rinse 2. Pardon my french, but HOLY SHIT⌠I wanna remind you that these 3 plants are virtually ignored all year. ABSOLUTELY NOT A THING is sprayed on them by me, nothing for bugs, no foliar feeds, nothing but rainwater. I expected bugs and bug crap, I did NOT expect the oil sheen I got. I can only guess thats from lots of air traffic and other air pollution, despite living in the sticks. Nasty nasty nasty nasty! I will be washing from now on!!

You want really nasty? Think about whatâs in the ground water youâre feeding your plants with, unless you have them potted and lug filtered water out there on a regular basis⌠considering whatâs less than 50 miles away from you, itâs probably pretty ugly. In fact, Iâm reconsidering whether Iâd even want to grow outdoors if they let me, now that I think about it. 
Indoor growing techniques seem like a good idea if so, all of a sudden.

A lot of that is the essential oils that the plant produced. Sign of a job well done.

I was wondering if that might be the case cause I had an oil slick going on in all the bins, but no bug shit by the last bin, just the oil slick. But man the bug shit and other debris I am glad to be rid of.
My groundwater is surprisingly good. Well gets tested every 10 yrs or so, and always had REALLY good water quality (150 ft deep). I am smack dab in the middle of the Highlands, so its all reservoirs around me with thousands of acres of woods.
An interesting aside to that⌠Take a glass, fill it from my tap and leave on the counter. Do the same at my neighbors house (who has a 300ft deep well), and he will have an oil sheen on his water in 20 mins, but not me. Back when I was a kid, it was normal to change your cars oil, then spread the used oil on the street (was an old dirt road) to keep dust down. A practice they do today still with macadam (just not motor oil), they spread oil and grit to build up those old roads still⌠Anyway, my neighbor used to bust my chops that the oil slick was because we oiled the roads here in the 70s / 80s (he moved in somewhere around 2000). One night hanging out at Boys Night at his place, we had a geologist in our presence. Of course, balls were being busted but the geologist set us straight. We have about 500 more years before the oiled road gets down to effect my well at 150ft. BUT, his well is drilled BELOW a shale shelf, meaning his oil comes from the dinosaurs, NOT us oiling the road. As water would seep deeper into the ground, it passes thru the shale layer picking up oil which ends up in his tap water. My well at 150ft doesnât go beneath the shale shelf⌠Interesting stuffâŚ
