How much longer do you think Hobbit?Hobbit wrote:Oioi tell him to check em again when the smoke wears off lol.Aqua wrote: ↑Thu Oct 11, 2018 10:12 pmChecked this morning. 48 hours of dark. Buds have nearly doubled in size. Hubby said they're popcorn atm so giving it another 24 hours. Getting him to do a rest smoke as well.
If it needs another week or 2 that's ok. Was basically part of late winter grow anyway.

That's the one I keep looking at to see when the bugger will be ready. Showing 75% milky but kinda like popcorn buds. Not hard buds. Do they fatten as they dry?
Yeah im talking about after the wet season mate, very dense buds in winter with very low rh can get grot if subjected to rain. TBH to be breeding mate you need hundreds of plants and to be able to grow them out. Youd also need to keep your males totally secluded and need a fair few of those as well. Serious breeding aint for the home gardener.ShitsNgiggles wrote: ↑Fri Oct 12, 2018 11:11 amYeah strains developed for indoor or greenhouse cultivation are more prone to bud rot. Hobbit makes a good point. However with a bit of breeding, environmental conditioning any modern strain can be made tough af. I wouldn't breed stuff out here that can't handle the conditions. High humidity, a lot of rain, moisture and dry hot summers with cyclones.
Problem is seeds from companies like any Dutch or American, their genetics are not subjected to three cyclones outdoors over summer. If you still get healthy fat buds after this, especially as the last one hit 4 weeks before harvest... well it's bullet proof.
Hobbit I really want to try to get that hardiness into modern strains. I do use local sativa as base stock. Shit is really tough. A couple local.hybrids as well from the 70s and 80s. We lost two pure strains since the 90s. I moved away moved back and in the 20 years things had gone to shit. Atm I'm.using Ghanaian, swazi (collected j burg 7 years ago) a few Afghan, a Indian kush region, a Nepalese, Shri Lankan , and Tanzanian. I had some China yunnan by ave seed but dud batch. Not like the last pack. :-/
Pity China Yiunnan is one of my favorites.
Id say with the weather forecast for the week not much is going to change other than running the risk of grot having her in the rain, Id be tempted to rip her. I dont like a couch lock smoke anyways. One other thing Aqua in regards to worm farm. The runoff or worm wee as it is commonly called is not what we are after and its not wee. If you are getting runofff from your farm most likely its too wet in there. I never get runoff. The runnoff will contain nutrients, but its microbes we are really after here. that runoff will contain microbes but likely not the kind we are after. Using that is a good way to breed pathogens. The microbes we desire are always aerobic not anerobic, with the exception of Lactobacillus, which performs well under both anerobic and aerobic conditions.
I only understood a bit of that sorry.Hobbit wrote:Id say with the weather forecast for the week not much is going to change other than running the risk of grot having her in the rain, Id be tempted to rip her.
