Week 21 - Sept 27 2020
Welcome growers
We had a very exciting week, there is lots of big bud everywhere and we actually cut down our first harvest of the year. I have been pulling yellow leaves all week, trying to stay on top of things. The harvest of Kali Mist took place Wednesday Sept 23rd 2020, it took 3 of us approximately 4 hours to get her all trimmed up. Then I spent another hour hanging it and trimming off the smaller buds. I have smoked a bit of bud that I pre trimmed from her a week ago, it was obviously not full cured but it was very promising. We ended up with 4lbs 13 oz that we expect will dry down to hopefully 1 - 1.5 lbs. I have ended the feeding cycle for the GDP and the Sky walker as those are the next 2 to come down in roughly 1 - 2 weeks. Everyone else is getting the usual Big Bud, Bud Candy, and an addition of some Overdrive. As for growth this week, there is nothing to report, in fact some plants are actually measuring up shorter than last week as there heavy buds are weighting them down. I am also happy to report that the Dr. has finally decided to flower, and seems to be producing bud at a crazy pace. Lastly my GDP has a small powder mildew issue going on still, I have been giving it a 99% alcohol and water treatment which I believe is helping. I am going to stick with it for the next few weeks until harvest and if it’s not cleared up then I am afaraid I will have to preform a bud wash during harvest.

My plans this week are to continue to remove the yellowing leaves and even doing a bit of pre trimming on the next 2 that are coming down. I will continue to treat and monitor for powder mildew, and of course I will continue the curing process for the Kali Mist.
On a sad note the “Farmhand” is temporarily out of action, she dislocated a rib during one of her workouts this week so she has been getting some much needed rest. Hopefully you will all get to see her back in the garden soon!
@@Rocknrolla420, well I sure hope so, temps are dropping here in Ontario, I’m doing my best to keep the frost off of her. Think she will either come down this week or next.
Glad I stumbled across this grow. What a great project and well documented. This is one of the most fun diaries I’ve read. Can’t wait to see how things continue. Best of luck on the rest of this grow and thank you to your farmhand for adding that extra splash of color to an already colorful diary 😀
@Crpehdm,
With the vent in it, it looks pretty decsent for a selfmade greenhouse.
Im planning to break downs they old, low and tight greenhouse and build 1 with a wooden frame. The ventilator inspired me!! Ill take that idea with me.
Does take in or out? I geuss in.
Good growing and have fun
🍀🍀🍀🙌
@Organic_LarF, Thank you, it’s taken me a bit longer than I wanted, but I’m going the extra mile to make sure it’s done properly so that it will last, with minimal maintenance.
@bingothatsawinner, No not just yet, I figure I have another 2 - 3 weeks of veg left. Not sure if my hand pruners are going to be able to get through the stocks at harvest time! Might have to saw them down!!!
@Crpehdm, oh that’s awesome! Should definitely talk more then, I’m less than a 10 minutes drive to notl! Would love to get some expertise and meet you and your farmhand l😜
