Week 4. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!

8/10

Definitely leaning toward evening chill strain, just as its intended. All I've had so far is the small BABY buds and sugar leaves that fell off while transferring buds into jars for cure. The buds didnt fill out near as much as I'd hoped. And, they might have had I let it grow. But I had about 20 % amber 40% milky, so I took them lol. A really REALLY good strain from fastbuds for beginners. I learned so much from just this one, and it always bounced back. Mistake after mistake. I did lose about 4 grams (guestimate) to mold but I say that it's very strong against disease, bc it went through about 10 days straight of not just rain, thunderstorms. One day was 60 mph gusts. I had it sheltered for that one though. Here's to hoping it gets stronger when it cures and I pluck that phat bud!!

Now, I do not have a scale. So my weight is completely and educated guess. And tbh, I have no idea how much is really there. The buds weren't very big or dense. Really light and airy. Your guess is as good as mine.

Starting to wonder if autoflowering was actually any faster than regular genetics. 🤷‍♂️

Just wondering (bc I stunted this one early in flowering, noob) if it might be ready to harvest. I dont have a micro so I cant see the tris that well. Buds aren't that big but I did stunt an autoflower and I've heard it diminishes yields. I think its ready. Do yall?

Not even close. They look like they have weeks to go. Keep in mind that growing outdoors takes longer than indoors, mainly due less light hours.

We are on day 3 of 7 of heavy rains in my area. They are on and off but last 4 hours or so, so it's a good soaking. I was wondering how concerned should I be with mold? I go out and shake it off as much as I can.

Hi @HardPulls29! I would worry... Maybe it's early for mold/mildew to infect your buds, but you need to solve this asap before the buds start to densify. Have you ever considered building a flexible tomato-roof? I built myself a tomato roof with free material found in the street, it allows me to protect my outdoor plants (real tomatoes 😝) when it's raining for a while but I can also remove it by a simple movement (hinges). The roof is transparent so I can even let it for a while it won't affect the photosynthesis so much. During late flowering stage, mold can happen very quickly, 2-3 hours in high relative humidity will suffice for some strains to get affected, and tomatoes do resist better than cannabis 😜. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing!

Mold isn’t going to ruin your buds at this moment.. but you need to make sure your roots don’t rot because they are in to wet soil. If your roots are soaked for a long time your buds aren’t going to fatten up because the plant will be stunned (stress). A little shelter does wonders for our little plants. Budrot is something to worry about in 2-3 weeks.

At this stage of flower you should be ok However if conditions remain damp then bud rot is inevitable and it will start from inside the buds A well trained eye can pick it out in the earlier stages otherwise one day your normal looking buds could become mush overnight 😰 Thats not a nice outcome for your hard work

Tops of pistils/buds covered in red orange hairs literally overnight. But we're getting a ton of rain for days now. Should have gotten some dry amendments

I had to (sadly) remove what I'm gonna guess might have been 4-7 grams bc ok mold. But the last was cut out around 4-5 days ago. And I havent had any more, so that's good I guess. Shes taking her time in the sunlight. Anybody got a timeline from experience for me on finish? Another 3 weeks or more maybe? Just a guess, I just like to have a timeline handy so I can cut and flush in a timely manner. Since the medium is kinda small I'm only planning on a 10 day flush.

@HardPulls29, check my 2nd and 3d diary, I would use regular LED bulbs, you will get much better results than with CFL

@@Athos, I agree on the cfls. But due to unforeseen circumstances I didnt have a choice 🤷‍♂️. Will be upgrading to LED or maybe even florescent soon.

Rain and flowering don’t match up.. can You build a little shelter? It could prevent toprot. Still got some time to fatten op those buds! Good luck buddy 👍

@HardPulls29, I’m a second year rookie lol.

HardPulls29commented6 years ago
@CoastGrower, thanks man. I'm gonna shelter it today, seeing as how we have 4 more days of rain. I'm hoping they fatten up a good bit. It's my first successful grow and I sang sure want to minimize any 'rookie' mistakes. I appreciate the comment. Keep growing, is a motto I've completely moved to.

It's like fliping a coin. I had bud rot in my last outdoor grow due to rain, although the temps we're low and humidity really high. I would put the plant inside while it rains

@@Athos, I've been thinking very hard about it, but wasnt sure HOW much to worry. But I'm going to shelter it today. I've got another grow in the room. But once again, thanks for the great advice!
