Hippie mine are covered. And I am keeping them covered when it rains, it also keeps the dew off them .Its been a heavy dew the last few days. I'll try to keep them dry as I can.
I use clear plastic so I can leave it on if needed. It pulls over the hoops easy. I have a plan for my forced flower ones next summer. grow them under hoops and cover with black plastic. easy on and off. I'm getting to old to move 4 to 6 plants every night.
welcome MGB
 
MiGrowB,
Welcome to MP and welcome to Curmudgeonland, now that you found us. From Flint, until I retired. We`re all old farts, but still think young and enjoy your thoughts and visits.
 
OFC,
Don`t know if these qualify as bud porn or not, but it`s all I got. The beans took the dirt dive on August 1st and by the 6th, 11 of 12 had sprouted. All have been topped. Tallest is 22 inches.

nice setup, i got a baby sour diesel but fear planting anything at the moment. i'm bombing and spraying. i had to crop early to get rid of mites. once i get that taken care of, it will be on again. i wasn't supposed to have been indoor with the last batch, but was losing everything to bud rot i had to bring them in. i wasn't seeing anything then one day i noticed freckles on my leaves then i knew what it was. i was well into flower so i cut my loses.
 
Morning all! Feel like I was shot at and missed-- **** at and hit !-- need my pipe !-- Bill I haven't tried the water oil extraction yet I simmer/fry my weed in the oil on top of the stove -- 5 minutes I'm done ! I used to powder my weed in a coffee grinder and use weed and oil in the caps -- it was a pain in the *** to get it into the caps -- I got lazy and filter it thru a screen and only use the oil to fill the caps-- suck it up in a syringe and fill the caps and done -- keep them in the fridge - Yoop- I'm jealous your grow stuff looks all neet and stuff -- with pumps, lights and bubbler tubing -- times 6 --I got a mess of electrical cords, and air lines that I alone can make sense of ! Long as it all works -- I'm good !!
 
Late again to wake and bake, but here I am, ready, willing and able.....ah, cut the crap and find my vape, so I can drink my coffee.
Thanks all for taking a look at my kids. Soon to be flipped to 12/12, so we can find the bad guys.
Thinking about trying to keep a male and pollinating a bud or two. Afraid I might pollinate the whole crop though.
 
Hey Yooper, curious.. why is there 25-50 seedlings in one pot? hah :)
 
giggy I have made the rule at my house . once a plant goes outside. It does not come back in. once outdoors its contaminated. I sprayed the young plants with mitywash every week during veg. then ladybugs starting the first of Aug. them mites are still going to come but they are just food for the ladybugs . got 18000 delivered for 70 dollars. Put some out every day . Just put the rest out a couple of days ago. they are staying on the outdoors ones, so there is still "food" for them. daddy longlegs are great. pick everyone up you see and put them on your plant. when one take up residency you have a friend.
 
then they make babies. the larva eat lots more mites. For 3 years I have been looking for egg sacks .Have not found any yet. but I do see the little larva. little black long speck. moving lol
 
Knew somebody would ask about them little ones. Companion planting, they`re Marigolds. They help with bugs and odor control. Suggested the Marigolds on another site and several months later one of the mods said it was the best suggestion ever as it solved his Aphid problem. Bought one small pot of them years ago and save the seed heads. Get thousands of seeds every year. Cant beat freebies. Peace.
 
Think I might just live ! Someone correct me if I'm wrong I learn by experimenting !-- THC melts at 235 degrees and vaporizes at 325 -- We were always taught not to get the weed above 212 -- some of U still make Cannacap oil in a crockpot floating a jar with weed and oil in the water bath for hours !-- it works -- THC would rather bind with oil than evaporate -- the smoke point of the oil I use is 350 -- I heat the mixture on the stove until I get close to the smoke point ! Stirring constantly ! I have used fan leaves in caps as well -- dried in the oven at 200 until dry -- fry that **** up --- cool recover the oil and use it on another batch of leaves -- getting as much THC as needed in the oil !
 
Bozzo, putting spiders in my pot pen would keep the mites AND me out! I freakin' HATE spiders! I've handled snakes that could kill you in half an hour with one bite and big ones that could choke you out even quicker, but those eight legged critters give me the willies.

Yoop, are those the beans you got at the Cup?

Morning to the rest of the Old Farts! Gonna try and get out and take some pics of the outside gals today, but I doubt I'll get anything more than the first gal. They've filled up the pen to the max. Might grab a ladder and take an "aerial" view. Need to take the loupe out and see if it's harvest time. I should start covering 'em up at night like Bozzo does because the morning dew is really heavy the last few weeks. No signs of bud rot though, but I'd hate to lose it this late in the game.
 
While I'm on a roll -- Decarbing weed -- if U are going to lesser weed in caps or extracts -- get the most out of it -- TO Decarb weed put it in a mason jar (dry weed !) and bake the jar at 235 for 30 min. This is what they mean by "Activated THC" -- It even improve the quality of weed that U smoke although I don't understand why ! Let the jar cool to room temp. before opening ! Now do your extraction or make oil !--

Vale' Vale'....3 of 4 germinated. (10 freebies)

I'm anxious to see how they turn out. I think they got second place at the Cup.

Giggy, I don't think that's the flavor of bug Bozzzo's talking about. Spider or not, if I saw them in my pot pen at a distance, I'd back off quickly and call in snake and nape, maybe even a daisycutter. If one magically appeared on me, I'd run squealing like a six year old girl if I hadn't keeled over with a heart attack!
 
Got 3 A.K. seed sticking out the ground !-- Dear M.P. -- Something has been brought to my attention that needs to be addressed !-- Could U explain to us who is paying the bills since there are no advertisers ? Also -- Who is Nurse Larry ? One final question --- What country host this site ? Nothing but Love for M.P. --
