HEY TC. ...

hope you did away with that nasty spider. i foung one od'ed today on one of my stanky bagseed girl belly up. . teach 'em to mess with my bud...

looks fantastic over there tc. keep up the good work. we've come a long ways over the past 2 years, agree?...

that POG ; Irish likes...:hubba: ...

 

[tcbud]

oh yes Irish, I agree....
two years ago, and even last year, I was freaking when the month of September came around, and I began loosing leaves like crazy. Not upset at all this year.....kinda a job trying to keep them off the girls once they dry up..but hey, what else have I got to do? I did not care for the rain, but then, it was just a little bit and moved right thru. They dried out, and I dont think the rain will have hurt them. We look forward to more heat wave type weather later this week, hope that holds for another month...lol.

tcbud likes the Pot of Gold too.....she looks forward to smoking all green bud......The POG is what I am smoking now from last winter, makes me smile and sleep well. Hope these plants do too.
Thanks for stopin' in.

Very nice TC ! Thats a nasty lookin spidey you have there ..makes for cheap security gaurd ! LOL ! Peace and great journal !

 

[tcbud]

Those spiders are my friends, for sure. They dont make me jump near like the monster grasshoppa's. I got one showcased below, he I got and he is now lizard food. .

Join me taken a walk around the garden this evening....

I also want to mention, that the girls have spidermites. The worst is the Afgoo plant 1. And......Dang, I hate to say this, but LST Flo I believe has thrips...small black bugs. I been spraying the plant for the thrips every few days till the last week. I dont know if they are dead, but they aint moving. I have given up on the spidermite situation, letting the cold take care of them hopefully. The girls are just too far along to be spraying them anymore, imo.

1-2 Afgoo, they shore dont look that purple in real life.
3-6 NorthernLights, getting a bit of the purple from the cooler nights. She sure changed in the last week.
7 Flo from seed.
8-9 Flo LST, this the the plant had Thrips (black bugs, silver on leaves) It is also purpling up way more on the leaves than the other plants (due to cold?).
10 GDP p1
11 Plant Enemy #2, Lizard food now.

Thanks for looking in guys and gals.

very nice purple buds tc.....gorgeous

The girls are looking sooooo great! TC, are you giving any N nutes? I am losing leaves just like that even with some N. Maybe I should use only the bloom version. I just thought I was dropping fans too early. I love the purple buds on Afgoo. Hey, I got to try mango tonight. I like it. I know it's 2 weeks early, but it is still nice. That's a good sign for what's left. I can't wait to cure some to see about that fruitiness. You aren't alone with outdoor problems. Now I have powdery mold on a couple. grrrr TTFN

Benny, the Afgoo are getting NO nitrogen. I have them on Dr. Hornbys Big Bud, I think by Advanced Nutients. The other girls are getting the ChaChing now, Open Sesame is done and the POG will be starting the Big Bud next feeding (because of the NO nitrogen and they are the next to finish). From my last two years experience, the loss of fan leaves is right on track here. Losing them like CRAZY! I think MJ is just really sensitive to the hours of light change, combined with the cooler temps at night here.

My Green bud (NorthernLights) is actually getting some purple tints on the tips of the bud leaves. The POG is dropping the fewest leaves and has been in flower longest after the Afgoo. Last year, I remember, the Mango here was just a bunch of Kolas by this time, all fan leaves gone. It was colder last year too. From what I am seeing on the weather, We got at least one more week of Steller Weather! Tripple digits most of next week! Weather man says next week we will be 15 degrees above normal. Pinch me I'm dreaming...Keep it up Mr. Weatherman!

I checked trichs on the Afgoo last evening. Gonna take Plant #4, I think, this weekend. The buds themselves look a lot more filled out. I also out of curiosity took some samples from the POG. I was amazed at all the cloudy trichs! On the 24th, it is 8 weeks! So then I went over to the NL, took a sample. More good lookin' cloudy trichs....gonna ignore that, they are not close to eight weeks, they are three weeks out, at the very least. With the Flo and BB very short season girls, I am hoping to start looking at them about the end of the month.

Was gonna add a couple pics but, Post Reply is sending me to "Page Cannot be Found" land. Found some last year pics for you all, for comparison. Gonna post, will try the pics later.

Grow's looking great!

 

[420benny]

Thanks TC! I am feeding them all tomorrow. It might be time to lay off the Grow nutes and hit them with just the HPK. There was a nice aroma this morning when I walked in the big area. White Widow is coming around. Saw some nice frosty trichs with a little dew glistening on them as well. I so look forward to visiting the girls every morning, just to see what's new.

Lucky dog!The purps look killer

1. Last year, Mango pic 1, Mid september.
2. Last year, GDP, Mid October, was wheeling her in and out with the hand truck.

We had an early September frost, looking at my log from last year, I was taking plants by now.

I was out driving today to town. Many trees are changing colors here already. I do notice the BB, that is farthest from the dirt bank, is loosing more leaves and faster than the one closest to the bank.:confused2: Maybe radiated heat at night? Bank is south face.

That above GDP, was the best smoke last year. If I can get some bud that is near as good, I am gonna be a happy camper!

Time to BIU.

oh..yesterday when out taking the pics....I snipped a bud from the Afgoo p3 and a very small bud from the POG. I just cant help myself.

All small p = plant, I order my plants by number from the gate, going into the cage. I dont know why I am putting this down......the bong hit maybe?

 

[zipflip]

oh for wow on the purple for sure :hubba: i want purple bud now lol.
they look outstanding TC :aok: well done girl.

 

[tcbud]

It is sneaky fake purple Zip, it is the kind that is from the cold. My other GDP that year was as green as green can be, just harvested earlier.

 

[chris1974]

tc, these pic's are making me anxious to see what mine will look like in a few weeks Beautiful girls :hubba:

 

[painterdude]

hi TC....the girls are absolutely smashing....nice pics too....I'm gonna post my spider in the bonger's thread...check out it's web, musta held the camera still to catch that one....

 

[pcduck]

Looking real nice tc :aok:

don't ya just love this time of year, when the buds are getting ripe and smell so nice and sweet, especially early in the morning when ya can smell them before seeing them.

 

[tcbud]

Took the top half of plant #4 this morning. I am only trimming larger leaves from the stalk/buds. As you can see in pic #3 I have left quite a bit of leaf on the kola. I will be taking that off when I do the last trim for bud shake hash. I am seeing almost 100% cloudy trichs. There is massive signs of revedging, so I am going to let the others go until next weekend.

1. Over All Shot of the Afgoo.
2. Main Bud Before trim.
3 Main bud after trim.....I think that is the main bud....seems the stalk is kinda small, I dont know.

Yes Duck, I sure do like this time of year. For more than one reason too.

 

[pcduck]

You do a fine job trimming tc. Wanna help with mine?

Nice bud and the color and trics are looking sweet.

 

[tcbud]

Well now Duck....in a word.....No Thank You. Trimming is the only downside I can see to growing outdoor. You dont hear me complaining about small plants this time of year! Also, if the weather holds, I can take these girls staggared and not get hit at once with all of them like I was last seaosn......come to think of it.....there is no downside to growing at all.
