That plant with the bananas caused mayhem on the lower branches of some of my plants. What’s the consensus on stress herms pollinating non herms? Are the seeds any good or are they trash?

In my opinion, like begets like. Chances are the resulting seeds will also show intersex when stressed. It may not be a problem for a personal grow, but I wouldn’t trade or sell them.

That’s the question we all have to ask ourselves at some point.
Initially, my position was ‘trash’, but an encounter with Rodelization and then reading Soma’s book made me consider some narrow exceptions.
I wouldn’t breed them, I probably wouldn’t grow them again (unless totally amazing).
Even ‘trash’ seeds have some uses like testing long term storage/ germination, different growing mediums etc.

Excellent. Was more of a curiosity perhaps for future projects. I don’t think I have any desire to grow this strain again.
@Gpaw good points. I was gonna say I might just toss them in a ditch somewhere and let them do their thing but what a dick move that would be if they managed to fuck some ones whole season up.

Come on Tuesday. Came home from dinner right after the lights came on and found one of these big bitches folded over and laying on the floor. I sprung into action and tied her right back up. No laying down on the job!

I’ve taken stock of my system for moving forward. 18 plant sites in a 4x7 is wayyyy too many, even on a 5 week veg. So moving forward I am going to break it in half to the one 4x7 area with 9 buckets and then a separate 4x8 with the other 9 buckets. I’m gonna need to get another 4 lights.
I’m really really liking these GLS 300s. My only complaint about them is the juice dial doesn’t have 25 50 or 75% marked on them. Makes lighting tricky because the dials are all off by about 15-20° from light to light.

Last two plants are coming down in t-minus 30 minutes.

Sike. It’s late y’all. I pulled that monster fast purple out of the dry tent and I fucked up bad. She’s way over dry. My wife and I have been trimming her down to size for the past few hours and started to jar it up. The hydrometers weren’t budging off 47%. Something must have went mad wrong at some point last week with the humidity in the dry tent.
But either way, I bagged up over 8 ounces from this one plant. The first plant gave up about 3.5.
This doesn’t feel right. The only thing that feels right is how harsh this shit smokes right now lol.

You can try raising the RH in the jars but I haven’t a lot of success with that.
(some improvement but not what it should have been)
If it is a crappy smoke there’s always extracting.

I can’t believe I let this one get away from me like that. What kind of extraction are we talking about? I have 0 experience with any of that.

I use 95% ethanol and a Magic Butter machine… brute force basically 
You could use Isopropyl. You could do a quick wash instead as well. The tincture thread has lots of variations…

Put a fresh cannabis leaf in the jar, it will raise the humidity a bit. You may have to do this a couple of times.

I’ll give that a try. I got a gallon bag full. Maybe a couple leaves?

A couple of leaves can’t hurt.

They will rehydrate the bud, but won’t bring back the terpines.

That’s cool. I don’t think this particular strain has any terps anyway. What do you think @PTJ420 ?

Thanks @Tejas . The bag is already back up to 53-54% and holding pretty steady. Gonna drop in a few more leaves and see how it goes.
Last plants have been hanging for a few days now and I finally got around to cleaning and reorganizing my room.
When I tried to take the pot out that was housing my biggest Copa I almost blew my ass out.

It’s lacking for sure. I’m not unhappy with what’s there but the line definitely needs work in that aspect, which Copa says they’re working on.
