An OG grower in Mendocino who's been at it since the Stone Age said his are really late to show and small too--been unusually cool and damp apparently. I guess that's the answer. Still seems odd to be at 10+ weeks and nothing showing.

Heads up @thumper60, looks like heavy T-storms headed your way now: Hot and sticky here in Knox County, those storms are supposed to get here later this afternoon. Is anyone else having trouble sexing their plants? I started mine first week of April and many are STILL not showing. Very late!

That's interesting--I had a bunch go into flower back in May, about half a dozen of the Cherry Wines, never seen that before. They're still flowering away, I figured as we approached the solstice they'd stop and revert to veg. But I have zero experience with flowering outside of the normal...

Glad to see all's well with you. How's the pup doing? Just curious, is the downscaling a result of current market conditions in California? Is this a permanent shift for you? I've heard of so many growers out there calling it quits that past couple years.

Sorry man, that's a heartbreaker. I was out at 6am watering and mulching some recent transplants this morning, I was dripping sweat in minutes and that's before the sun was even hitting the field. Ugh. Tomorrow is going to be hell.

Yes! Keeps the root zone cool on those scorching hot days and retains moisture. Also makes a great habitat for soil life--just peek under the mulch after it's been down a while and you'll see what I mean.

Will they continue to flower in the lengthening days though? I don't really do light depo here....

Looking good @thumper60 as always. Seeing some potentially violent thunderstorms on the radar just now (4:30p Friday) and NWS in Gray warning about high wind potential tonight: Say, speaking of flowering in June, 4 of my Cherry Wine hemp plants started flowering last week. They were under...

Looking good. Still seems so odd to see plants flowering away as we head into the longest days of the year. Just the genetics, I guess. So I had a couple little wrinkles but all part of the game, right? First, one of the "Northern Kush" seedlings (Northern Lights #5 x Pine Tree Kush) succumbed...

Arghh, that sucks. But like folks are saying, the plant may come roaring back tougher than ever. We had a groundhog living under the back porch this spring. I tried a Havahart trap and after a few false starts managed to trap him and relocate the bugger. Something to consider anyway. The .22...

They are going to flower right through the summer solstice? That's wild. Those are photoperiod plants, right, not autoflowers? Batten down the hatches @thumper60 we got a nor'easter header our way later today. NWS actually mentioned snow in the mountains. This morning it was low forties here in...

Thanks for confirming. Just carry on and next time harden off more gently?

Is there a doctor in the house? Some leaves on some of the hemp seedlings are partially turning white, not sure exactly what's going on. Don't think I've seen this before. Guesses: "Sunburn" from moving them outside into full sun too quickly without hardening off sufficiently (I would...

Mid-May here in coastal Maine and the seedlings have finally made the transition from their indoor safe-space to the great wild outdoors. So far so good--they're loving the sun, and this morning they all got a nice drink of compost tea. Going to try more teas this year, been using alfalfa meal...

First seeds went in about 10 days ago, doing the usual Cherry Wine hemp along with some Pine Tar Kush, Northern Lights #5, and a cross between them I call "Northern Kush" (was the best flower from last year's harvest, super terpy). Done with fabric pots after playing with them for a few years...

"Put the damn phone down fool and scratch my belly. . ."

Is that just beyond the Swedish line? Sorry, couldn't resist. Nice looking plants. Never been to Africa but it's high on my list of places to go--pretty sure I'd be smitten. You get much heat there in the summer? I wonder if over the years your genetics have adapted to your soil/climate. I'm...

Warmed up here into the forties and drizzling. I went ahead and chopped that last PTK stem at dawn...think those flowers are starting to overripen at this point. Will see if those have a more narcotic effect with the greater CBN. It's a wrap for 2024. Great year overall. Thanks everyone for...

Interesting...I have a greenie PTK from the seeds I made last year, will have to compare effects. So the color is triggered not by temp. but by length of nights? (or in your case lights off time). Or just age of the plant and stage of growth? Would love to know the mechanism behind it. Have...

Some outfit in British Columbia, Island Life Seeds. Saw on their IG last month that they're going out of biz, so better hurry if you want any! I made a bunch of seeds here last year and again this year if you fall short DM me.
