Here's my weekly update of my deck grow.

First with my purple bag seed plant. It's the only one small enough for me to be comfortable to move into the small spot of sun that opened up today. How much longer do you think on this one, two weeks?

Branches are fattening up and had no support at all so I tied them to the roof. Hopefully the string will do the trick. They don't get wet so it just needs to support the flowers as they get heavier. I feel like a puppeteer or something! :)

every year around this time we get HELLA Spider Webs.

I like to think it's their way of telling us it's getting close to Holloween.

My neighbors putting out Scarecrows and Fake Webs with huge fake Spiders.. I'm like, How Generic.. Mine are Real!
Serves you right for taking care of your Yard more often than I

Today was a sad day as I found this evil crap on the runt that was banished to a true outdoor existence in the Washington cold and rain. I have taken the advice of everyone and torched the plant. I am just glad I had this one well separated from the rest of the grow.

And so today isn't just a bummer post:

The mold on the purps, extended stretch of 80% + humidity and more fungus showing up in the woods and blackberry patches surrounding my yard combined with our inability to inspect our plants as much as needed (too many hours for myself and my wife at our respective jobs) made me come to the decision to pull early. Everything is now hanging and smells pretty good, albeit with a much lower potency that if I had the nerve to keep it going for a few more weeks. Better to have a decent amount of somewhat immature buds than a deck full of mold.

Next year it's going to either be the legal limit of auto plants or light deprivation as I think one REALLY needs to finish by the end of September around these parts.

I put some popcorn buds in our food dehydrator so I could get an idea of quality and despite the green, green taste the stuff was pretty stony. No worries or regrets here, it's all a part of the learning process :)

Below are the buds I ended up with. Top left is quick-dried popcorn. I am waiting for the Harlequin leaves and stems to become crispy dry so I can try my hand at a load of capsules.
