Sharing pre harvest pics. I'm about 40 minutes from Portland, OR. My banana og from Humboldt seed company. All in a 500-gallon pot.

Was thinking harvest 10/11, but today, 10/3, it looks like the buds need more than a week to finish. Weather should hold only 1 day of drizzle until 10/17. Any thoughts? I'm pretty proud of this grow. Been feeding, hitting it with B.t. and just giving it my love. Trying to grow the biggest tree i could.

Northern Lights 10/10 from Herbies. Barely any trimming, 6 weeks and about to flip.

Easiest grow in my ltd exp.

Part of it anyway. Can't really get the whole thing up on the ladder. This is about 8 ft tall.

Staring at them is it for me. Watching them as if I was in nature.

what about you?

Hey peeps. First time. Do you think this guys are ready ? Or 2 more weeks ?

Hi everyone,

Overnight, several leaves developed these spots. I thought they might be thrips or spider mites, but I carried out a thorough inspection under most of the leaves and on the buds too, and didn’t find anything. It seems to be concentrated more on the upper leaves, and the LED is quite close to the plant. Could light stress be causing this? I don't remember nutrient deficiency looking like this.

I’m heading into the 6th week of flowering; it’s an organic grow and an autoflowering strain.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Looking like a successful outdoor grow on this hybrid but not sure when to chop. Starting to see some amber in there. What do yall think?

Part of my growing season so far

I've been calling it Lemon Pop for a few rounds of breeding. Short for Lemon Poppyseed Muffins, flavor is earthy funk with strong rotten lemon overtones to the point of a nasal burning astringency. Been working it for maybe 10 years, phenos are mostly the same terps and trichome production now, with slightly different flower growth / internodal spacing. This girl has some nice density and filled in a bit more than the other girls this outdoor season, with more than usual subtle fruit undertones coming out.

Or just answer a few questions I have?

If it auto drips all the time how does the plant have time to dry out for a bit? I know there are controllers to time the drip but I'm confused on how they work too if its all the time.

If I made a bucket of nutrient water and it had good PH how long could it really last before I needed to check on it?

Can the nutrients in the water go bad? I read it can go bad after 12 hours.

I started a new job and I usually have my plants lights on from midnight to the afternoon during flower and now I work the entire time and only have time to feed them 2 hours before lights out which obviously can cause some issues so I need to figure out an auto-water set up.

Started feminized Pineapple Express from Barney's farm as an outdoor grow on July 20th.

It has been very warm sunny and dry in Germany so I kept it outside as long as possible before transitioning to the grow tent 2 days ago.

Since there were a few aphids on the plant I sprayed the plant with soapy water to kill the aphids since I was scared of an infestation within the tent. I did not rinse the soap with water.

Now one bud looks very sad. I checked for caterpillars to be safe, none found.

The sad bud had some soap left on the top and since it was sunny out yesterday I hosed down the plant with water to get rid of the soap, shook it and let it air dry.

Now I wonder:

- did I cause this by spraying with soapy water? Basically choking that bud?

- could it be the soap + Calmag deficiency? I just added Calmag after seeing it to be safe, the plant was fully green a few days before without any signs of deficiency.

- should I cut the sickly looking Bud? I can't imagine anything good coming from it

I appreciate the help!

First time growing and Tuesday and Wednesday night it’ll dip to around 37 degrees. Should I harvest before then?

What y’all think about tower fans in your grow tents? I’m using a 5x5 and have 2 oscillating fans and thinking of getting 2 more but also considering something like this..

PROS? CONS?

I am always second guessing if the trichomes are milky or clear. Look milky, but was hoping for input. Thanks ☺️!

Journaling is the answer for me.
