So I missed week one of veg but not much happening. Bit better this week. One of the ES was nearly lost but I took her back inside and she recovered. I’ll give it another bit before I put her back out. The 2 lights in the cupboard is only like 40w actual draw LED’s so I want them in the sun ASAP. Lesson learned not to push too soon. Hopefully the progress should increase from here

Haven’t been having the best of weather this week. Overcast/raining al week. Day 21 today and a bit of sun finally. Bit of sun coming for the next few weeks I think so all going well should get the last few weeks of veg.

Great weather this week. But if a heat wave. The girls are loving it and have really taken off. Decided to tie the main branch down on the 2 biggest to see how they go and they seem to be doing well

Great weather this week and the girls have loved it. Looking into a bad weather week this week but hopefully things will pick up after that. One of each type is doing really well and the rest are struggling behind but coming along all the same

Not the best weather this week maybe slowing down progress but 1 of each strain is performing well enough. Won’t be great yields but the buds are getting bigger. Happy enough so far.

So I have a question. One of the plants fell there and the main stem is cracked where it is bent up. I wrapped masking tape around it. Will that save it?

Personally, I make a splint with a stick when this happens and use rubber covered wire to attach the stick/splint above and below the breakage. This works well and in 3-4 weeks, often the splint can be removed to reveal a completely healed stem. Whatever you do, do not rub soil or spray the breakage with water, you need it to air dry and crust over. Even with the tape you used, there is a risk from excess moisture (sweating) under the tape, causing perfect conditions for fungus to grow and kill everything growing above the breakage. This is also why you do not smear dirt or spray water on the break, it just increases the risk of fungal attack. There is no reason to stop your normal watering and/or feeding schedule, your plant will be fine, but I personally would remove the tape and make a splint out of a stick - a bamboo skewer works well, and remember, the break needs to air dry and crust over, just like a human wound. And just like a human wound, you don't spray that with water and keep it mushy soft, this just leads to infection. Hope this helps, Organoman.

2 of the best plants took a tumble and broke. The DKC #2 is hopefully taking it in her stride and the MK #1 had more damage but is doing her best to keep growing.looking into a couple of weeks of better weather I hope so plants should bulk up with a bit of decent sun

The DKC is going great despite the fall. Didn’t get the good weather I was hoping for but at least the rain is doing it’s best to stay away.

It looks like the top of the master kush is starting to die off but the side branches are growing well. It looks dehydrated I wonder if the break is so severe that it is not getting water? Would filial spray help

If you just recently had a snap/break in the upper cola/branch in the last couple days - I’d say it might be dying off unfortunately.. if it doesn’t perk up soon I’d be tempted to chop it off. See how it reacts to a good watering and give it a couple days I’d say.. if it starts looking progressively worse I would cut it off to save resources and concentrate growth of side branching buds.

This week has been good. Few days with rain but mostly clear and now a week of solid sun ahead of me (perfect timing) 😂🤔 I think the double kush cake is ready to start flushing. The early skunk is impressively soldiering on through life

So the double kush cakes seems like it might be ready for the flush but I’m not 100 percent sure

Looking at the photos in your diary I’d say they still need a few more weeks. The plants look good enough that I wouldn’t harvest early unless you were having bud rot/mold issues. 🌱

Bit worried about the top of the Double Kush Cake. Does this look like rot or sun burn or ok?

Unfortunately you’ve got yourself some bud rot. Usually caused by too much humidity and not enough air movement. Outdoors has been tough all around this year. It’s best to cut it off, so the rest of your crop doesn’t contract it’s spores 🌱

A bit late this week due to a busy schedule. This has been a hard week with the bit of mold on the double kush cake. I lost a couple of buds but the remainder look good. The master kush lost the top but the rest of the buds are fattening nicely. The Early skunk are doing well but the bigger one has a lot of yellow leaves. A few more weeks before the flush.

Bit better weather but it is turning now. Bad rains now so I may have to chip early. See how it goes from here. Think I’ll start flushing now anyway.
