Outdoor update:
The Copacabana and Devil Cream are really filling in. I'm yellowing out a lot of old fans on the Copa, and she still looks like Mag deficient on those, I've been giving epsom salt with the waterings, and shrugging it off to age I guess. She doesn't look quite as photogenic as a week ago, but the buds are coming in.
I'm kind of losing track of time, she would be starting day 73 today. I had to reread the strain description, I think it said 90-110 days expected. Maybe with the tiering it will take additional time, but I'm thinking the time for pk boosting is played out and going to try using a little overdrive the last few weeks, maybe feed up to about day 85 or so and start cleaning her out after that. Have to see what she looks like then to make a decision.
The Devil Cream is really doing excellent, packing on some notable size in the last two days, and the buds are getting sticky as well. She's quite tall !
Here again, with the tiering outside, I'm not sure what her finish date is really going to be. She would be on day 53 today. Probably time to think about weaning down the nutes and try the Overdrive and keep an eye on it. Time really does fly.
The Sour Bubbly is massively healthy but still looks like she's indicated sex but still getting ready to stretch some more, not really flowering yet. She's also day 53; I think she's been outside for 3 weeks now.
Mitch at Mephisto has been super kind about the situation as we both realize that this plant is very unusual. He's offered to send over some new beans. A very class act and great service. I'll also send him a donation so he doesn't need to go out of pocket, he's been really cool and I admire his breeding work very much.
I'll have to update the indoor stuff tomorrow.
In general, I think I'm learning some things about life during this grow that I hadn't expected. I was busted growing about 15 years ago and went to jail and it has taken years for me to get my life back together, in terms of work, family, and everything. I've felt some anger recently thinking about how my security got blown leading to that arrest, and I regret a few posts I've made on the site that reflected that anger. But I feel that I'm flushing away a lot of that now and working out some other personal issues at the same time, so this grow and journal have ended up being something very good and helpful to me so I feel very lucky to be where I am now. Thanks for putting up with me here, and thank you again for your interest in the grow.
