Outdoor Pineapple Muffin Auto 20223

11 full weeks.
More fucking bud rot, it's been almost 3 weeks of 90% + humidity. It's only hit 2 plants and is reoccurring in just 1 (which is more than I want).
Took off most of the top of one plant.

Neighbour saw me "removing" the affected areas and came over to express his concern, turns out he likes how the girls smell. It is nice but I don't get pineapple.

Quite a variation in size, shape and colour amongst them.

12 weeks and FUCK!!!
It's been a month of high humidity and rain.
Friday & Saturday were brutal, we got a Summers worth of rain in less than a day, a shitload of flooding, damage and worse.
So I can't complain, basement is dry & I have electricity

At lease a pound of what would have been "final product"

Too much rot, still too humid & more rain in a few days




Into the chest freezer to be "fresh frozen" for when I make hash.


Now for "Plan-B"

Sorry for your loss @Hugo Phurst .

Plan "B" - Leave empty pot's out for the Cannabis Fairies....


Look what they left me (unknown everything)

Everything is still at flood level, but the humidity has broken (for now anyway), so It's been 5 nice outside growing days.
The new girls were really dense, no space for air circulation or light pentation.
A good pruning seemed in order.

Much better now, new growth is nice & green, doesn't seem to be any new purple stems

They're throwing hairs out all over the place & look more than ready to start flower, but that's not for weeks.

Got a bunch more rain that we didn't need, brought the girls into the garage when the storm started to get bad, bit of a mistake, since they were saturated with water they drained all over the garage now it smells like wet compost in there. Oh well better than PM.

The girls are happy & doing fine in the driveway, plenty of new growth.

So far so good.
Trying to be pro-active with insect & pm preventive measures.
All three have small buds & continue to grow, but the smallest doesn't seem to be throwing out root like the others.

Girls are pretty happy.
I kinda fucked-up a bit, sprayed the girls with a "preventative" & must have sprayed too much.

One plant has almost nothing wrong, just a few brown tips and edges on the leaves & hairs browned too.
Second plant was a bit worse with more of the same damage.
Smallest girl was hit hardest, lots of black leaves to remove & some damaged bud.
I don't think there'll be a problem, I just won't use baking soda/oil/soap again.
Next time I'll try milk & water.

My camera's SD card died so no picks of the girls.........instead the last pic I got

Heavy rain again, started before noon yesterday and ended sometime after midnight, lakes & rivers are full again, flood plains are flooded.

Well the big girls seem to be recovering well, I've been spreading them out to increase light penetration and air circulation.
The small one is pretty bad, I almost threw her away but I gave her a hard pruning instead & will see in a few days.

Phone pics, so not the best.

Just found a spot of bud rot on the smallest/most affected plant, cut off the entire branch and moved her about 10m away from the other two.

On the up-side, the two big girls smell fucking amazing, puts me in mind of a sweet kush

Was cool and dry for a while, back to +90% humidity.
Been finding bud rot and I'm being very aggressive about cutting it out. Found some yesterday, none today.
Here's this years (so far) contribution for making bud rot hash. (4L container for reference)



The girls seem as recovered from the spray as they're going to get, the small one is fucked


One is producing purple/black buds (can't be good)






Third girls seems good(ish), putting on a little weight.
Not quite a bushy as she looks, there's another plant behind her.

No rot yesterday, plenty today, cut off several tops and a couple of side buds.....poop

Well the plant that recovered best & had the densest buds doesn't have any main tops anymore and the smallest is toast.
The third has smaller dark buds, hard to see any rot, but it seems the least affected.
Overcast & wet, Lee gets here tomorrow.

A few kg of fresh frozen to make bubble hash

About 30 bags of ice and a few hundred L of water later




Now, to dry it.
