Most eventful thing this week was getting invaded by strayan wildlife! I left the tent open with the portable air con running just outside it cause we had a few days of 35C+ weather, was the only way to keep it cool in there. Next morning there were 20 odd flies and a skink in the tent. Took me two days to get the skink out - I was dropping water on the floor for him to drink which he seemed to appreciate, but the slippery little sucker just didn't want to be caught! Got him eventually though, he made it outside safely. :) Also FYI watching skinks wee is hilarious, both the back legs come off the ground and they do a little wiggle.
The 4 Assed Monkey seemed unaffected :P Starting to get some chunk slowly!
For drying and storing i have taken a cardboard box and a metal hanger. Bend the metal hanger so you have rods and poke them through the card board creating racks to hang your branches from. Then just fold the boxes up and write kitchen on them. Know one will know 😉
@TeflonDonFarms, Cheers mate! Yeah I'm glad she took so long in veg, I'm terrible at LST but she gave me heaps of time to do a semi-decent job. I'm actually harvesting it atm, just been a little slow updating the diary. I'll pop in the week 13 later tonight and hopefully have a dried and weighed harvest post in a week. :D
Just picked up some PK booster and your right it did the trick! Gotta say those colas are mesmerizing to look at. So frosty. She’s coming together nicely!!
@Tazard, I run a $800 dehumidifier full time next to the tent, it helps a lot! But can't compete with 90% humidity, keeps it around 65% on those days which is better but not ideal :(
@biggreens420, 😂 The owner at the local hydro said the same thing! It's probably just cause statistically more growers are guys, so you have a wider range of 'giving a fuck' levels out there. But I'm happy to pretend it's cause we're just cooler 😉
@biggreens420, Cheers matey! Lol yeps I'm one of them crazy females 😂 My boyfriend tries hard but he's much better at cooking than growing, so he makes dinner and I take care of the babies.
Looking nice and frosty brother on some pics can see a slight nutes burn coming on the tips u might wanna start laying off the nutes this far into flower gotta say she is looking beasty though nice work💪
@biggreens420, Good call :D They burned a while ago but on your advice I took another look and it is progressing so I'ma back off and start leaning towards the flush. Cheers mate!
@ChefGreenThumbGardenofWeedin, Cheers! I'm curious to see when I take her down if the buds are super dense or she's just falling down from heat stress :P
You could look into freeze drying them. Or if you had to a water cure. But a water cure will strip ALL the smell and taste (great for stealth smoking).
@Tazard, Yeah I had a look at watercuring! But she smells so good can't bring myself to do it. I think we can time it so I chop right after this Sat's open house, get them drying in a cardboard box, hopefully have them all jarred in the week and away before the next Saturday.... it'll be tight but I think we got this
@biggreens420, Cheers mate! Now I just need her to start getting her stretch on, seems a little delayed. Probs cause it's so damn humid lately they aren't drinking much.
