It is time for a weekly update on day 99 of this grow. It has been 39 days since flipping to flower schedule as the photo period plants are just starting to fill in. They are not bulking up just yet.

I am getting ahead of myself, though. Let’s start with the “Bongsai” plant that I chopped last Monday (six days ago). ADA-2 has been hanging with a fairly constant rH of 60%. It currently weighs 85 grams. It has lost about 65% of its chop weight (I dry by weight). When it gets to about 25 or 30% of its chop weight it get a final trim and then into the curing phase (after a test vape :grin:).

ADA-1 is nearing chop day:


The buds on this auto flower are very dense and aromatic (like ADA-2):

The grow room is dominated by the photo period plants:

ILGM Cherry Pie:


For comparison, here is the Cherry Pie seven days ago:

And a comparison shot from last week’s update:

The Super Silver Haze SSH-1:


SSH-2:

Finally, let’s compare the SSH-1 bud from this morning:


To last week:

As you can see, we have quite a long time before the photo period plants will be ready for chop. It will be fun to watch another grow fatten up.

Have a great week tending to your gardens and to your loved ones. For some, that may be redundant. :grin:
Thanks to all who drop by for a look. :grin: :man_mage:

Both of our last names start with “W” and we call ourselves the “Dancing W’s” even though neither of us dance at all. :grin:

Nice! Those comparison photos really show the weight gain.
Those current Cherry Pie shots are magazine worthy!
Thanks for the update @merlin44

Very kind words @CC_Mo, thank you so much.
I am really looking forward to trying the Cherry Pie as my first CP grow was a total loss to mold (during the dry). :grimacing: :face_vomiting:

Hopefully those problems are behind you. That’s too much time & effort to be lost to “M”.
I’m thinking positive for you over here!

Plus, I only have enough stash to get through three or four more grows. If I don’t get something in the next year or so I will run out. :rofl: :man_mage: :thinking: (I am quite certain to succeed this time :grin:)

Lol, and I’d bet the recipients of your excess don’t want you to run out either.
That’s very generous of you to turn them on to some primo well grown weed.

That made me laugh…I checked with them a couple of weeks ago. I asked “How are you guys doing for stash, it has been over six months since I gave you guys anything?”. All they did was laugh their butts off and say they have tons of weed.

I may need to find more folks that don’t want dispensary dope any more. :rofl: Not so much…need to maintain low profile. :grin:

I’m sure they do, but I hope they know how good they’ve got it.
Small batch, carefully grown, craft weed. Free of charge. Now that’s a deal!
Not many folks have friends like that I tell ya. Good on you.

Thank you @Myfriendis410

I am itching to get a started with the 2023 grow operation. I am going with an all outdoors start this trip around the :sunny: sun. I have been eyeing 3/26-3/27 if Mother Nature cooperates.

Good morning everyone! It is Monday and NOT time for an update.
Blackjack the Cat (pictured below) thought that it was important to post something to celebrate the 100th day of this grow. I did not want to hurt his feelings so here it is.

And here are his cannabis plants at 100 days old:


There is really nothing to describe or talk about as I just posted an update yesterday. Jack is happy now. :smile_cat:
