Look at that happy family.

The buds on the Supafreak in the back of the tent are a little light bleached. I wasn't all that happy with the way they grew relative to the Freakshow plants, but this makes up for it. The buds look bigger and denser than anything the Freakshow plants grew. I spent 30 minutes trying to defoliate the thing and finally gave up. Those marigold leaves interlock together making it difficult to get to the places than need to be trimmed.
And the Chainsaw Massacre after some rigorous defoliation. It almost looks like a pot plant again, but I'm sure it will be overgrown again next week.
My wife made it through knee replacement surgery yesterday, though I'm not sure I will survive. She's already climbed the stairs, sat at her computer too long, fallen in the shower, gotten her sutures wet, and consumed alcohol. The walker they gave her is sitting the corner forgotten. At least I know I'm not prone to heart attacks.
1 and 1/2 more weeks LOL
I bet she is of Irish descent.
British and American Indian (I forget the tribe). Probably some Irish blood in there someplace. We're both basically indeterminate mutts.

You're wife sounds like she's like mine. She's an active lady that just can't be bothered sitting down and taking it easy, even when it would be in her best interest. Hug her and watch her like a hawk.
I found some seeds growing in the main tent on pretty much all the plants. Probably 20-30 per plant. It could be a hermie, though I haven't spotted one. It could also be some reversed GDPA pollen I used on the Pink Mango Auto, or most likely some regular Supafreak pollen, since I was less than careful collecting it in the same room as the tents are sitting. I guess those seeds will end up in an unknown bin.
I also dusted the small Supafreak clone in that tent today. I remembered to keep it out and will put a bucket over it tonight to wait for the pollen to do its job. Tomorrow evening I'll spray it down with water and put it back in the flower tent. All this is probably good practice for the pheno hunt with the mimosa seeds.
The BSHW plants look 50/50 male to female. Two of the four are definitely males, and the other two indeterminate. I would like to grow one female without pollinating it, but I don't have room in the other flower tent. Maybe I'll get lucky and pull the males out of the tent just in time, collect their pollen in another room, then pollinate just one of the females. More likely I'll end up pollinating everything in the other tent considering my track record so far.

I found room in the shop to squeeze in one more 2X2 tent, though I'll need a ladder to zip it up. $200 later the tent and all the accessories are on the way. Going to start reversing one of the CSM clones now before they get too big for the tent. I found good homes for five other clones I made for no reason other than to play with the cloner.
The insanity I started is "almost" under control finally. This is the last time I grow anything in the summer other than maybe an auto or two : )

Sure it is crash. I’ll believe that when I see it
Me too : )
Here are the BSHW plants in the smaller tent. Anyone have an opinion on the not sure one? I think it's female, but can't tell for certain. It is the one that got topped by (I think) my dog while I was in Germany. About a foot off the top had to be removed.
Yep
Sounds like me after surgery. God speed recovery!!!
The MH 24x24x55 tent showed up today. Took about 20 minutes to assemble and get everything mounted. I didn't read the instructions, of course. My only complaints were the annoying flap over the zipper in the front, and like every tent maker they gave no thought to venting without letting light in.
My portable mig welder is now trapped behind the tent. Probably a good thing considering my welding skills.
I kept changing my mind about what to use it for first, and finally settled on putting one of the male BSHW plants in it so I could "safely" collect pollen. The other male is enjoying its last hours in the tent before the light comes on.

I got tired of using stakes to hold up bud heavy branches and joined the dark side. The ABC plant and Supafreak were not happy about the net, but I pushed it down over them anyway. The THCB in the middle had pretty much every branch laying sideways or leaning on a neighbor, so it is much happier now. No idea how I'm going to water the ones in the back, or even know that they need water. Forget defoliating : )

First world problems… Are we a first world anymore?
No, but I'm too old to learn Mandarin.
