These girls were grown from clones acquired from a local dispensary. One of the girls was considerably older to start out and was slightly rootbound in the original sealed container. The girls grew pretty much as expected, although they were attacked by spider mites on a couple of occasions, which probably hindered their overall growth. Didn't have any problems with mildew in this batch, just some bugs which died horribly.

Happy (American) Thanksgiving everybody! We're working on changing the management around here to get rid of the buffoon in charge. It's probably gonna be a rocky next few weeks when the indictments start flowing out... so fasten your seat belts and wish us some luck if you live outside the USA. ====================================== November 22 > It really turned out to be a coincidence harvesting my last plants for the year on Thanksgiving. I could wait until early afternoon and temperatures to warm up into the low 60s to cut the girls down and wash them as they were just waiting in the dark after an extended final dark cycle. Turned out to be a perfect task to slip in between other cooking chores. Yakking with my siblings on the phone while chopping up and washing the plant and catching up with the family. All done after a couple hours. It will probably take 2 to 3 days to dry and then I can trim them for curing (and update the diary with a dry weight). ====================================== November 27 >> All done for the year. Because I had nothing else growing in the shed and I could turn off the grow lights (albeit LED), and I could keep the temperature in the shed under 70 degrees F and dry this batch of herb slower than others. All the trimming was done on the 4th and 5th day after harvest/wash. Initial dry level of the buds appears to be about 55% so we'll be using Boveda packs as usual for curing for a couple months... though I'm sure to be nipping into this batch by Xmas. Weights come in as 53.5 grams of buds, 33 grams of trim, and 0.8 grams of kief. This was for two plants. In retrospect I clearly could have used 5 gallon containers here instead of 3 gallon. My fear of plants growing too tall inside my tent is probably based on growing sativa's. In this case I had another 12" I could have raised my lights.

@dalemac,yes sir this has happened to me so many times in my 20plus years i find it's easy to just keep growing from seed and clean deep regularly. I currently have a white fly out break going to use rubbing alcohol and baking soda spray

@Grtiger82, After further review, this looks like the beginning of a mite attack. I was gone for a few days on vacation and didn't have time for a close inspection until now. They'll be dead soon. Thanks.

@11Hick11, haha... I wanted an indica that I could finish before thanksgiving so I didn't think I had time for seeds. Next summers crop will be more seed based. Way better. One more week of veg for mine.
