Awesome, sounds like you have great genetics. Keep doing whatever you've been doing, and be patient. Should turn out great.
Thank you. I guessing im not going to worry about the grasshoppers, i see them on the plants but i dont really see alot of damage. Im not comfortable spraying insecticides on them this close to harvest. I put a couple of bird feeders out there today. Maybe the birds will eat the grasshoppers or at least scare them off?

Disaster!!! Had a week of alot of rain. Well, last night we had 3.5 inches of rain. It rained HARD almost all night. Most of my big fat buds were laying in the dirt. Most of the branches broke, some just bent. I cut em, washed em off and got them hanging. They're a week or two early. SUCKS!!! This is what they looked like a few days ago:

Yeah, i feel good about the grow. Its just a bummer. I have been tending to these plants since april, checking them every day and taking care of their every need the best as i could. Feels like i lost a friend, lol. I still got the 6 death star strain that fared well through the storm. They are only about 30 inches tall, although some of them are 4 ft wide. They dont have as large of colas (but many more than these ones had) so they didnt take much damage that i could see.

I cut the ones that were on the ground, tied up the ones i could. I think im gonna scrap the ones covered in dirt. I couldt get them clean, the dirt was stuck to the sticky stuff. I will say that the ones i left out there look awesome! Full purple color. They just look "ripe" now. The trichomes are all cloudy now with just few ambers here and there. Im glad i waited and didnt cut em all. I'll snap a pick later.

You can make a bath of hydrogen peroxide and water and wash the entire plant
it will remove the dirt and still be smokable

U sure this is your first grow lmao. Bloody brilliant bud right there
Yep, first grow ever. Next time i think i can get even bigger buds if all goes well. I had alot of popcorn buds on these. I think of i would of trimmed them off as the developed and got rid of some of the lower branches, it would have put more energy into the main colas. I think it turned out great. I did no site prep, planted late(2nd week of june), did no trimming. With the things i learned this time around and some changes for the next time, i think i can get an incredible harvest next time with 4 less plants.

Daaamn that looks sooo good, this just makes me so excited for my grow
This will prolly get me kicked off here, lol. I dont even smoke... i grew it for some family members that use it for pain and anxiety relief. Im told its pretty awesome quality but i wouldnt know. Its fun to me, like a hobby or a science experiment. Gonna try to really get some weight next time. I think less plants with more care and attention to detail will get me there.
