Nepali Pink and Straw. Cheesecake

7-9, 10 weeks plus 4 days. I've been busy with pounds of peaches...lol. The SC lower buds are about done, I'll cut them tomorrow. I also need to get the loupe out and check the NP a little closer, it is supposed to finish out 1-2 weeks after the SC.

The Strawberry Cheesecake top buds are all dry, 5.3 Oz. I still have the lower buds drying, I think I'll make my prediction of 6 oz. The Napali Pink on the other hand, 7 oz at least? I'll get a better idea once it is trimmed and hanging. The plate the buds are in is 12 X 11"

The lower buds ended up being 1 oz, so the total on the Strawberry Cheesecake is 6.3 oz. Filled 3 quart jars. Edit: it smokes really smooth.

7-15 Nepali Pink is hanging to dry, except for some lower branches I'm letting mature a little more. Once they are cut I'll clean up in my room and get the clones put in to start vegging. Nuggs are pretty fluffy on it.

Clones are still vegging outside. Got 2 new 4100 K CMH bulbs in, waiting for them to stabilize a bit so I can to upsize the pots and get the clones in to flower. Going with 7 gal pots. Last of the NP is going to be jarred today and all of it weighed up. Smoked some last night, smokes really smooth and has a nice flavor even though the nuggs are a bit fluffy.

7-27, Moved all the clones indoors to flower out and into a controlled environment prior to the upcoming heat. Clones are about 14 weeks old.

Napali Pink weight 6.1 oz, 173 gm.

Don't buy iGrowtech bulbs, ended up returning them, they didn't last 2 days before they wouldn't light again. Luckily I still had my old bulbs and just swapped them in.

When I was weighing the NP I somehow missed a jar of buds, the actual weight was 7.4 oz for the one plant.

8-4. Buds are starting to show. Two on left are Strawberry C, 4 on right are Napali P.

beautiful....

Thanks, wonder if I can get the same weight off 6 plants this time...lol.

Getting fragrant in the grow room now, I'll take some pics tomorrow.

8-12, Straw Chz is stretching a bunch (two on the left). Had to raise the light twice in the last week and a half. Temps are running 73-79. 2 weeks on 12/12.

8/17 Found some whiteflys today when I was watering. I'll treat them with Neem tomorrow. Going to install a screen on my return vent, that might keep them out. My pepper plant outside was covered so I am not surprised. pH has dropped on my Muni. water supply, so I reduced the acid I am using to lower pH. Having to start staking up the plants due to buds gaining weight, only had to do 2 so far, but I'll have to do the rest soon.

8/22 Plants are maturing well, the SC hasn't started to change color yet. Had to stake them all up when I sprayed them due to the extra water weight and the wind outside. I hung a yellow sticky trap to see if there were any whiteflys left. It caught 2 in the last 10 days so I think they are under control but I'll check when I water again. I'll get some more pics soon, been lazy recently.

8/25 4 weeks tomorrow on 12's, I'm guessing another 6. Getting crowded under my two fixtures. Didn't see any live whiteflys as far as I can tell, had some dead ones fall off when I watered today. Everything seems to be going well.

I have a bad infestation of aphids. I always have a problem with them on my zucchini plants so I should have expected it. Sprayed with spinosad once, and I think I'll have to do it again because I still found some live adults. I might have to do some defoliation to ensure I get all the leaves sprayed. I guess growing outdoors is not a good idea here, unless I do some prophylactic spraying. Hoping for the best.

Your garden looks good mate, hopefully you kill those aphids off easily (I’m sure you will)
