Number of seeds sprouted: 4 (05/26)

Lights on temp/rh: 80-96/40% // DLI = 40 (+, -) 18/6 schedule
Watering/feeding frequency:
Drench to drought (almost), about every 3rd to 4th day. Using Soil Revival or Micos on alternating waterings and a little molasses once in a while. #1 fed from soil nutes its entire life, Top fed #2 once, #3 & #4 twice.
Grower comments: Busy day today on my little farm. Harvested #s 1, 2, & 3 today, exactly 14 weeks from their birthday.
#1- still had a few new pistils here and there but mostly brown and receded. Trichs were about 20 – 25% amber throughout.
#2 - I let go a little too long, but sometimes one of these ladies is forced to bend to my schedule. 
Amber trichomes everywhere, many in (what I call) a degrading appearance. This one still had some new pistils too but some of the trichs on those calyxes were already turning amber.
#3 – well, she still had a lot of new pistils with new trichs, but the older calyxes with the receded brown pistils were 30% amber and beyond. Like most of her life, she was all over the place. It was her time.
#4 is still plugging along. Buds are taking shape, a little late but hey, #3’s buds bulked up rather nicely a little late in the game so maybe things will shape up.
#4’s keeping me in the game, growmies! Until next week, happy growing. 
(Again, my apologies for the poor photo quality.)
Last shot together.
Late comers get the top bunk!

Grower Comments
The plants outside were chopped down last week and are still drying, should be ready to trim tomorrow. I found some bud rot on one of the outdoor plants and cut it out, I do expect to find more, although hoping it’s isolated to one plant. The one in the tent is a couple weeks behind, and is chugging along pretty slowly. I think most of the buds are seeded but still haven’t found any pollen sacs. Neither of the 2 photos that were in the tent with the hermed PKA has any seeds so I’m guessing the pollen sacs came along late otherwise the other 2 would’ve been knocked up too.

Bertha is still building would think she is an engineer by now lol. But chia is now taller then Bertha.
No change. Just bulking.

Lights dropped to 8". Shooting for fall heats with power drop. Lowered lights keep photons up on plants.
No testing or training still. The girls are bulking well and are loud.

This week brought the start of foxtails due to, I’m guessing, multiple stressors. I believe nanners are scheduled to appear Thursday iirc. It does smell nice though, sweet/fruity.

Watering/feeding frequency:
Drench to drought (almost), about every 3rd to 4th day. Using Soil Revival or Micos on alternating waterings and a little molasses once in a while. #4 has been top dressed three times with Gaia Green 444, 284 & worm castings.
Grower comments: #4 is still putting on some weight. I gave her a final top dress even though I don’t think the soil needed any. This one was the least affected by my hot mixed soil, or so it seemed, and the only one that didn’t get a mini-flush, which I find interesting. So, I stuck to my original feeding plan and I’m going to see how she finishes.
#s 1, 2, & 3 went into jars late last night and the cure begins. Happy growing everyone!

Grower Comments
The 2 plants outside were chopped down almost 2 weeks ago and both suffered from bud rot. I thought it was limited to just one but while trimming I noticed brown spots and white fuzzy stuff was evident in nearly all buds. I had to toss all of it unfortunately. The one in the tent is still fattening up but the buds are full of seeds, which is unfortunate since the buds are nice and full. I’ll probably chop that one down in the next week or so.

Here at the start of week 9 she is still using over a gal a day but she’s getting there, her stigma’s are turning darker. I lowered day length again to encourage finishing.

Grower comments: Sorry I’m late on the posting.
She’s still plugging away. She seems kind of stalled a bit, doesn’t look to be progressing much to the naked eye. I still haven’t looked at her trichs yet. The harvested three are jarred up and curing. Waiting to get a final weight until the trimming is done.
Happy growing, Everyone!
