@Rap_a_cap, Yeah we're doing OK. Still too much smoke in the air. That sucks. I figure if Im gonna suck in that much smoke I may as well consume a few pre-rolls from my local dispensary along the way (I've been a vaporizer for a couple years now).😁 I did have one casualty from the most recent heat wave - my bigger Wonder Pie was pushed over the edge and I flushed her as soon as I looked at the trichomes - too much amber in there already and a couple bud tops got spoiled in the heat. I will harvest her tomorrow morning. All the other girls are still OK - but I think that heat aged everybody an extra week or two. 😎

@dalemac, always very cool to see other peoples grow styles. Due to local climate I do my summer grows the opposite of yours, start them out doors and move them into the tent to flower. During summer months here it tends to stay around the 95-105 degree range, but the humidity is insane. Dew points stay in the 60's to 70's so at night humidity is hovering around the 90 to 100% mark. A perfect recipe for bud rot. Gotta love your results man, nice work!

@mambremambre, At this point I'm ready to abandon the idea of topping autoflowers and stick with LST or nothing. Too much risk; you have to get in there by week 3 and I'm rather disappointed with the way my attempted FIM came out on my Cosmic Queen. My Strawberry Nuggets seemed to come out OK after topping because I got her clean but it was probably later than I should have. Those are the only two autoflowers I've ever attempted to top... and now I've had a chance to see a few varieties go the cycle. Generally - I top my plants twice (photoperiod types). That's all that's necessary to create monster's on my patio. 😬

@dalemac, California love with Mr. Sun and all west coast Eazy, Snoop and G perico styles, love this vibe so much, there are so many happy people and plants :) Thanks for the answer! Yeah the Sun provides the biggest amount of energy, i’m trying to grow some tomatoes on balcony, but we had only 2-3 sunny days in May and very wet and rainy wether. Thats why my ganja plants always stay indoor I haven’t tried topping yet, got LST with 3 plants, the result is very good after 1 week of training, but the leaves. They become huge and massive on the top, as i see top leaves got so much light that smaller coles grow slower, maybe i will try some topping on this week

@dalemac, Hey guys. I did the 3-step bud wash and it turned the buds a mustard color. I had to chop a Blue Dream auto back in August because it had white flies, and thrips, but I saw a Jorge video on the process, but he didn’t use the lemon juice. Maybe I used too much lemon juice.

@dalemac, thanks man! Love your diaries!

@Dabwizard, Hey now. That would probably have been the final week of my Durban Poison grow, which has a link to a you tube video... but it looks like the account associated with that link went kaput. However you can just do a search on "bud washing" and pull up a handful of videos that should cover the same ground. For me it's a 3 stage process. First is Hydrogen Peroxide and water, 2nd is lemon juice and baking soda and water, 3rd is just a water rinse. I haven't bothered washing things I grow indoors, but I've seen what can fall from the sky outdoors over a period of months and I'm a believer.
