Considering the heat wave this week i have managed to keep a decent VPD, been a bit of a battle but one i think i won. They only got water this week as the medium has a decent amount of nutrition in it while I dealt with the hot temps. This is why I should have stuck to my grow plan and been having a break at this point in the season.
#6 still the smallest out the lot so lifted the pot again, she should still be fine. I think she should produce at least 4 decent colas, some haven't quite made it high enough.
Back soon.
Take it easy.
@GMSgrows, yours are doing great. When I 1st topped the grow I rooted out the tops and gave them away to someone and they have been in there back garden for ages and doing really well. I missed the boat by not doing an outdoor grow this year.
with you on the rising temps . hoping to get mine done and dried without the help of scorching heat and hot air flowing over the drying plants. race against time now. good luck and looking good.
@Hashy,that dry , nasty , resin/thc killing heat is the worse ending. been there a few times to watch them shrivel to odourless popcorn lookalikes...fingers crossed properly now. so close to finish
@Ganjagrandaddy, just had a slight reprieve from the heat but its coming back now. By the time my harvest comes around its going be the quickest drying time ever. Next summer I'm going be strong and have a break.
@Hashy,that is a sad loss to mould. i use milk/water mix in sprayer if the buds are very dense , it kills mould on contact and stops it forming. worth a look into.
@Ganjagrandaddy, near harvest now and found some bud rot on this one. Would be biggest density cola. Chopped way more of the cola off then I needed to but I didn't want it to spread.
@Patricia_Zamnesia, considering how quickly the conditions bounced from decent to hot they all seem to have done a lot better then I thought they would.
@XII_XII_MrGreen, got about an oz left from last grow so it's been fair easy not to dip into it. But yeah if I didn't have any left that would be a different story.
@XII_XII_MrGreen, harvest is done mate and the cure is in progress. So far i have been able to resist the temptation to try some, maybe I'll have a sample soon as its been 2 weeks curing.
