First rains came to Northern California this afternoon and pretty much wiped me out. Broken branches and the buds have another month to go. Heartbroken. I guess I can chalk it up to experience and try again next year. The lesson learned: Give your plants support! Put cages and trellises around them. When they stretch and have heavy bud on them, they will break if it rains. I'm screwed. Maybe next year. I'm pissed!

I can't believe with all the talk and info here you didn't do this. Don't you quit now. Pot plants heal well. Get out there and tape and tie those bitches back together and support them. They look bad after the rain but in a day you can' hardly tell. Fix em up and carry on.

Hey guys, noob question for y'all.

Generally speaking, when do you first notice the buds start to swell? To clarify, I mean how far into the flowering cycle.

My sativa Dom lady and all my late starts are way behind where a lot of you are at, so I'm kinda curious as to when the buds will start looking more like buds.

Thanks for the help.

Be patient. The Satty Doms take a long to fill in and a longer time to finish. They will look better at 6-8 weeks in, on a 12 week flower strain and really get busy in the last few weeks. Hate em ! LOL. I have more than I wish in my garden right now and are pissing me off. It will be the end of November at least.

Jabba Stash is dank, definitely recommend it to whoever picks bodhi seeds up, so sweet smelling.

Jabba man !

the ground gives a lot more room for nutes to disperse.

This was my conclusion weeks ago b/c I have been using a 5-3-3 all summer for both contained and in the ground. When yellowing occurred on the in-grounds during veg, I started doubling up on feeding.

To all: Thanks for the kind rep/words...and I'm not done yet harvesting...not even close!

Happy day!

Yeah, I already showed this poster how to hurricane proof plants in this very thread...get back out there and finish FOT!.

Or even learn for that matter...if this plant made it I'm sure FOT's will:

I grew 4- 5lb plants in #45 gallon smart pots.

They are drying right as we speak. I harvested my early girl 2 weeks ago and she yeiled 4.5 pounds dry and she was much smaller than some of the ones I'm taking down right now.

Next year im going for #200 gallon smartpots and shooting for 10-15 pound plants

Damn. Look like corn flakes

 

[BlackTuna]

It drizzled a bit this morning. Still, I poured in 130 gallons at about 1350 ppm. As dry as it's been they can use it.

Damn Thai won't be done til November. If I'm lucky. Time to get the bamboo out and tie em for some support, Oct they are
going to fatten up.

Bud shots are from the Kush's. They're bout ready.

pics? we need good and bad pics...

I'll try and get some pics before the end of the day. Whew! This sucks. To top it all off, the power went off last night so I couldn't really do much to see the total damage until this morning. I had been carefully supporting the plants with stakes and ties but the colas were getting pretty far along and they soaked up the rain like a sponge. If I had the knowledge earlier in the season, I would have started these plants with nice sized cages around them. I didn't realize how important the support was until the plants got to be too big to support them. For security purposes, trying to keep them in a hidden part of the yard, they were very close together and it wasn't easy getting around and working on them, much less doing major work to support them. By the looks of it, about 1/3 of the plants snapped about half way down the main trunk and several have broken branches. Most of the shorter ones are still standing and look OK.

Question: Since I will be cutting the broken branches off and hanging the colas to dry (as soon as the rain stops), this means I'll be harvesting 2 weeks to a month too early. They are Sativas (green crack), and had a ways to go. They had a lot of clear with some milky trichomes. Will the bud be any good if I take them in so soon? Or will the quality be poor? I'm going to try and salvage as much as I can, of course, and I'll surely be much better prepared next year.

Hope you guys all have better luck with your grows and thanks so much for advice. With the rippers, white flies, bud worms, powdery mildew/mold, wind, rain and cold, the outside world has no idea how much risk and work is involved in growing this superb product!
