Backyard grow

The weather gods of marijuana were certainly looking after me this week. So many perfect days with clear skies ranging from 23 to 29c. A minor storm late in the week followed by cold, but the sun was still shining keeping all happy. Kind weather meant really good progress, the buds are really fattening up, getting super sticky and they smell so good. Maybe too much so as I do most of my plant maintenance during my lunch breaks at work as I live close by. Going back to the office with my hands stinking of marijuana resin is something I need to avoid doing moving forward 🤣 Continued with the fert this week, maybe a little too much as I have a little burn but nothing to worry about. The Mammoth P I’m using every water, and I’m alternating the potash and seaweed with one flush per week. I guess I’ll continue with the same regime until closer to harvest. One little whoopsie daisy was made when doing a defol earlier in the week and I snapped a small branch, with nothing but a tiny bud on it. Perfect opportunity for me to test my drying setup as I got a new drying rack which I’ve place in my unused grow tent. Vaporized what I had last night in my arizer solo and definitely did the trick. Should only get better as the buds ripen. First critter was seen as well! A little caterpillar crawled up in a sugar leaf, quickly got rid of that little fucker anyhow but now I need to check more frequently. When there’s one generally there will be more. I’ve recently been reading many other Ozzy outdoor growers diaries reporting bud rot issues with their plants. I’m hoping this is just a northern states thing as I’m in Melbourne, but I’m definitely taking precautions as the weather gets colder. I have now moved my plant to a new location, where morning direct sun is possible. But at the same time it’s in a much more open space. Just hoping none of my neighbours do any maintenance on their roof gutters as it will be clear to see. Good news is i will basically get 8+ hours of direct sun per day which is good this time of year. Should help those buds finishing up anyhow. Bigger is better. Maybe another 3-4 weeks more to go now, bring it on!
