Duh. I understand. But I would take 2 off anyway.

My first 2 harvests dried way too fast bc the downstairs room i dry in is next to the room with clothes dryer. The window in the room is too close to ground level so can't put an ac there. Im hoping now that our temps here on the peninsula have dropped, the room will stay cooler. The humidity is always fine in the room- 60% so the dehumidifier is there if needed. I hang mine using hangers with clips. Im hoping when I cut this last plant I can stretch out the drying process .

Hey to YOU, fellow female grower ! I'm about to turn 69 in 2 weeks and have 6 grandkids 😆. My adult kids brag to their friends about their weed growing mom. I don't know any women who grow in my orbit. Only guys.

All I see for "the guy show" is survival videos. Nothing about weed growing. Link?

Wash it, dry it, light spray of bleach water mix and leave outside all day. The smell is gone. I repurpose big jars all the time for curing with no smell issue. So far, anyway

I wash them, dry them, sit them outside in sun all day. The caps are the thing that can hold a smell, si wash, dry, light spray with bleach/water mix, sit them outside all day. No smell. Then I put a clean paper towel in each jar before I put lid back on & store them until I need them. Empty spaghetti sauce jars are usually mason jars. I do the came with those. They come in handy when you run out of name brand mason or ball jars

3 or 4 are stunning. The first one looks like a Duggar daughter wedding dress.

Boys in blue always back boys in blue, no matter how corrupt. I feel bad for the actual honest cops who arent MAGA bc they get lumped in with the cult.

Most police & firefighters in my area are MAGA, which is why I stopped donating to them. When I stopped donating via mailers, they started calling me. I enjoy telling them I will never donate to a union or organization that endorses that orange pig.

My husband doesn't smoke, he prefers gummies and cbd oil, but after he spent so much time watching me nurture my plants from seed to harvest, he now wants to grow one himself over the winter.

Thank you! I know that you don't go by seed recommendations ( they & Google say 10 weeks flower max before thc degrades), but I trust the growers here for the right info. She's 11weeks in flower tomorrow. Funny thing is that originally I had 2 of her, but gave one to my brother in law who lives closer to Boston back in June. He harvested his 4 weeks ago. Even 40 miles away the growing conditions are completely different from where I am .

Back when there were 3. We pull the tarp over ( husband hooked tarp to side of house) during storms & hook it to the fence. This is now our go to set up for future.

Back when I had 3 in there. Ive already bought a new crop cage ( link above) for next year. Before the end of July, we were constantly squishing leaf hoppers and various other bugs by hand. Constantly. Then I got the yellow sticky traps, which were a huge help, but not enough. Thats when I found the crop cage and I can honestly say it solved my bug issue. A bug may get in when I unzip door to go in or out, but they always fly onto the sticky trap or I get them immediately. You will have to buy 6" or 8" landscape stapes to reinforce the ground perimeter poles. By doing that, our crop cage survived 2 Nor'easters and other days with gale force winds. 3 Indicas fit inside my cage perfectly- fabric pots were put in ground inside it. I don't its tall enough for a monster Sativa tho. Good luck!

The sun changed direction so we had to add lights last month. I had 3 Indicas inside this tent. Harvested 2 already. My husband hooked up a tarp to side of house & we pull it over top for rain, but now pull it over every night bc the dew here is nuts in the morning. It saves the plants from being wet overnight.

I cant wait to buy seeds from you! Finding strains that can tolerate the high summer temps & low temps/wet fall conditions here ( Cape Cod ) takes one worry off of my plate. If you have a sign up list, I'm here!

Dress 1 for me! I love a flowey ( flowy? )dress. Just beautiful

I was looking for a crock pot but dont see one. My mom was Italian and could make a feast from leftover meat that she simmered in sauce on Wednesdays 😋

Motorbreath #15 from Amsterdam Seed Company via Pacific Seed Bank. She can tolerate 95°f heat and currently mid to high 30°f- 45°f nights and days of 50- 60°f, damp, rainy Massachusetts fall weather. She survived a Nor'easter and 3 days of gale force winds last week.

Nope..Crop cage & sticky traps at end of July was a Godsend. Before that, leafhoppers & moths were all over the place. I sprayed a once a week BT as a preventative until 6 weeks ago. Nothing since then. I was so grateful for the crop cage bc one morning in August I came out to see 2 areas of yellow stuff stuck to outside of the crap cage screen. At first I thought it was pollen until I looked thry magnifying glass. It was EGGS. I made 2 big squares of masking tape. I was on inside of tent holding my piece sticky side out & daughter held her piece over mine once I had it in place. She then peeled her outside piece off, catching most of the eggs. We did it a second time & got the rest. Without the crop cage, those would have been on my 3 plants 🤢

I totally understand. Family passing notifications are the business of the family.
Here's my outdoor grow with grow lights added bc sun angle changed 6 weeks ago. The seed company says max 10 weeks flower & mine is officially on week 11 today 😬. Nights are now between 34°f & low 40's, days are 50-ish. Yours is lovely!😍
