It is on a heavy heart i bring this news. I don't know where to start..... I've had problems with almost every bug known to man..Nothing new.. I can usually control it... it's sad news I have to post ...
My baby is probably not going to go as long as I want.
I checked her Sunday 10/1/17 ( due to caterpillar damage ) ( moths are really bad this year in So. Cal )
She has suffered .. I found a small piece mold..buried in a cola. I cut the cola. You can see it in the pics.
My worry is I have more. Every grower will tell you spider mites are the worst aka the Borg. But there not thinking of mold or bud rot. Which is got to be way worse . The mold comes from catapillar feces.. yah I know.. I'm just telling you the facts.. Now you know my worries. And they are big..
I will address this issue. It can only get worse... I am so depressed thinking about it. It is very upsetting. It is hard to tell you this. I almost feel like I failed. But I know I didn't. I'm sure not looking for any sympathy.
Please .. It won't help. I will make the decision on what to do when i have more information which will be Friday night for me. I will then decide my action.
To harvest all , part, or clean out colas by opening them up. Every grow has it's problems.. Outdoor problems are so much different.
This has to be one of the most beautiful trees I have ever grown. Just good genitcs. The pics do not do her justice. Trust me on this one.. Thanks for listening. π
Yeah, I've been busy also. The harvest went ok, I'm happy. I've dried for 7 days during the Santa Ana winds. (Dry wind pushing off shore, from the desert.)
I don't know about loss % yet . No real mold damage insect damage yes ....
Thanks for the wonderful complements. I will finish trim tomorrow and check humidity if it is all good I will weigh it.
How is yours coming ???π
@Teamdirtbag2, We have a very similar climate even when drying lool, less mold less damage so im glad it didnt get worse..
That buds looking very nicely and frosty for now, let us see what follows...
Looool your neighbours π , maybe... If he wanted samples to taste it ??? hahaha
Mine harvested bro !!! All without problems, dried for 10 days and now curing in jars, im pleased with quality and weight, she gave it all, max production for a BD outdoor is around 700g, so what can i say haha
I have a qualified opinion of this having sampled from jar #2. This is some really tasty, sweet weed that liquifies my mind and makes me feel really goooood.
The buds look like theyβre made of spun sugar. Seriously, @Teamdirtbag2 is one of the most underrated growers on this site. He has mad grow skillz.
@Sillyasswhitedude, I fully concur. I have had a medical rec since 2012 and have sampled some fine cannabis in my time. This is exceptional. If it were at a dispensary, it wouldnβt last long.
@Mr_Positivo, Hey solo that's only one plant..
Well I ment to say 1 tree.. ππ
Look at my past weeks diary.
Its a clone. Rock it Bro !!!
Thanks again π
@Teamdirtbag2, I will most certainly be back. I wouldn't miss stalking your Durbans. I think you are going to blow a few peoples heads off with those babies. Thinking, Ukranian Arms depot explosion scale good.
@Mr_Positivo, well I will send you some air fresheners..I don't think they will solve the problem. But it is a nice gesture.
Hey SOLO thanks for checking her out π
From here on out she will be getting fat I mean really FAT. Don't forget to come back and see. Thanks again Bro. ππ
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Brother I've missed you ..
Big changes have happened quickly .. you know...they are looking great ... I will try to let it run as long as possible.. AMBER brother..
I have harvested a lot , no a real lot from mom and it is a sativa really strong head high ..
I almost started vacuuming the roof at 12:30 last night.... it really works for a get shit done high... I love the durban...
@Bigpun, Don't you ... I do too..π
The problem is it's so sticky it will be all over your face the only way to get it off is rubbing alcohol ... And it's stinky...
Big she does have some nice cleavage... that is for sure .. ππ
That's a beautiful fucking tree and you should be proud as hell about it I don't know what proud as hell means but you get it allahahahahaha
Ps fuck mold
Great job Brett!!!! You deserve many awards for this plant. @growdiaries needs to start a grower of the year and award you with the first one. Congratulations again, and we all thank you for everything you teach us. True GrandMaster in my opinion.
