Very nice girls, i have some mango sapphire, killer kush, tropicana poision, and a few mango sapphire crosses i did last year, testing some phenos now, they are all doing great and all at least a couple weeks into flowering outdoors besides the tropicana poision f1 fast she looks like shes is just starting now i hope so anyways. Im using 30 gallon and 100 gallon fabric pots, i have a bunch of autos i bred myself also. Also doing a couple indoor runs at the moment and got a small green house full, so full time part time job for sure. I know the work that goes into it, great Job.

With Home Depot raised bed, ok

It's just a few pieces of 2x12 with those raised bed planter wall blocks on the corners. The soil in the bed is replenished with kitchen scrap compost every spring. I start supplementing salt nutes after a couple months of veg, whenever they look like they need something. It's like 10yrs old now. I think I need to double the length for next year. That little strip in the back yard gets really good full sun exposure.

Everything is in full flower and looking pretty healthy. I've got plenty of beans on all plants from the chucking I did early on. I'm excited to see what comes from those.

The VK is really starting to plump up. It still amazes me how early that one started to flower, it is 4 weeks ahead of the MLK4's in the same bed. I think the VK colas are going to be really big.

I found a dead budworm on a leaf of the VK, so I started inspecting buds more closely. I found one other dead budworm inside one of the colas. At least that confirms that the BT treatments are working, but I'm very concerned about potential for mold from the tiny budworms making it into the colas, leaving poop, and dying there. There are a shit-ton of moths flying around, so I'm sure there are tons of eggs on the plants. If you know what's up about that please comment.

I guess one good thing that came out of it was my fingers got ridiculously sticky when I was searching through the cola where I found evidence of budworm, like super resinous, and the aroma is an awesome lemony grape scent. I hadn't handled the buds that invasively up to this point.

They look great!

One thing I'm doing for BT on flowering plants is mixing my BT with Southern Ag Garden Friendly Fungicide.

The GFF is a bacteria as well, and the two combined are helping knock out the caterpillars and protecting the buds from rot. I haven't seen any mold since I started spraying. I know you don't want to spray anything on your buds but I see GFF as the "protection" from any moisture / caterpillar poo that makes it way into the buds. It also gives me peace of mind knowing that the BT spray is not facilitating mold: there's now a protective layer that comes with the BT.

It's great. The bactieria is Bacillus amloliquefaciens.

Check out the patent description for the strain: https://patents.google.com/patent/CN104560837B/en

"Bacillus amyloliquefaciens of the present invention can be applied to the prevention and treatment of...plant diseases such as powdery mildew, gray mold, brown spot, fruit rot reaches 85% 90%"

I don't think many growers have caught on to it as a spot treatment and prevention of botrytis. Marrone offers a super expensive version but its the same species in GFF: https://marronebio.com/products/stargus/

VK continues to bulk up. It's getting heavy enough that the branches want to lean over. I thought the trellis net would give enough support to keep it upright, but with yesterday's rain, all the plants wanted to lean in the same direction, pulling the entire canopy about 12" to 18" to one side. I had to climb into the jungle and used a few long garden poles to get everything back in its place.

I cleaned out some more of the scraggly stuff underneath and inside.

MLK4 look like they're going to have some beautiful tops. WB1x has some nice little tops forming too. I'm surprised it is filling oit as well as it is since it was a late start and not optimal exposure to direct sunlight.

20 days since last update, and they are really filling out. Fortunately, the weather has been favorable. It has not rained here at all since flower started, and the temps/humidity have been good. We get a lot of variability in the weather here. This season has been very good.

SKxL is getting close...maybe 1-2 weeks to chop. MLK4 is a few weeks behind that.

Upon inspection, I found one spot on an MLK4 cola that looked like budworm damage. I did a little surgery to remove the damaged area. Thanks to dry conditions, no mold issues have popped up.

The past few days of weather have been shitty, but looks like I'm in the clear for the next two weeks. The whole canopy pulled over about 20" to one side and all the colas were laying down on top of each other. I had to rig everything back in place and used a leaf blower to blow off the excess moisture. Everything looks good. I hope I don't get too much rot damage.

I took down the VK today. It had a lot of fat colas on it. I gave it a wash with h2o2 before hanging.

The MLK4 and WB1x have at least 1 or 2 weeks to go.
