I suspect she will start a purple fade around harvest week. She looks wonderful, Great job

There's still a few lighter brown "just turned" pistils on the lowers so she has time. Don't see ant new growth which is kind of cool. I can just watch it get done without the interference

The mix-tent got watered. Easiet thing for me is to just set a few plants out, then water the rest of the tent in place. Ended up pulling the 2 HCxGSC to get them staked before they got top-heavy
The HQ - pic in previous post - frost top to bottom.
I super-cropped the AH into a square. It worked itelf into more of a triangle. Perfect corner plant.
The PD
Going back in to mess with the clones, and repot the one in VSL here.
And I shut down the seedling tent - the bag-seeds and the volunteer are sink-or-swim. The Homecoming Queen clones have sprouts, but they are all growing vertical, right against the trunk. And not long enough to do anything with yet... Might mess with one to see if it helps.

That little hole is where I sit my old ass to work on the plants
This was stake-day. thebbq skewers in the upper right, rubber coated wire pieces in the foreground. Everything lost the lower leaves that won't get light. They will get a fat dry-feed next time, but this time they got the fox farms tea to keep the microbial stuff going. Everything but the kelp since they are in flower, but at only anfew ml per gallon. With the calmag and silica it tops out around 500ppm.
So far everything is going good with the smaller pots. Today is day three and they were all light. Couldn't have gone another day, but I think getting them to harvest in these pots won't be too bad. Since it's smaller pots I can just aerate four gallons for the 12 plants, They each get a quart plus, and are heavy - but there is little to no runoff. Once they got watered, staked, and pruned they got the blue checkmark (gnat trap) and go back in.
Staking them is definitely something I am sticking with. Takes about a minute per plant and it can either spread or tighten up the limbs as needed. I position it where the lowest node starts then tighten it on the stake. Quick bend and it's done.
I think they need to lose more fan leaves, since there's not room to spread out. The VSL clone looks like a houseplant.

Homecoming Queen is in the dark. I'll trim her up this weekend. There's more density there than I thought at first. Any leaves left on her have frost. 
The undergrowth has a sprinkling of amber, and after the Croquembouche I am not letting this go long. If I want knockdown power I have a jar of that. And clones of this I can let go longer if need be.

Just some asshole
Do those gnat traps work. I can’t hardly keep those fuckers under control.

Buy nematodes, water them in. Then top dress with mosquito dunks/bits. That should knock them down.

Tried both of those, never saw any drastic change. I have the bits and use them when I put them in their final pots, but I tried not doing it on the PD tent, just the Microbe stuff. So far, so good.
Here's what I have accepted. Growing weed where I am I'll have gnats. Luckily I have seen no other damaging critters. For the past few months I have had the gnat sticky's staing relatively clean, and they don't take flight when I start to water. They are 'managed', and it is a one product thing if the PD tent stays good. Means that I just add it to the every watering list with the calmag, silica, etc.

The play-clones are mostly flipped. One VSL, one AH and one HQ that I'll prune as they stretch, see what happens like the VSL shrub in the PD tent.
The HCxGSC (left, one of two fraternal twins) and the 4GxWLD
Both are frosty as hell out to the fan tips. The 4G cross has more stretch to the stacking.
I topped the other HQ, I have no clue how many shoots were left on below the topping - other than that it was all of them. A hoard.
The other VSL is available if anyone wants to stop by and grab it...
The bagseeds are good now. screw small (2") starter pots unless it's just for a week or so. They need food before that, and it can just be from the soil, so having a cup wth room for regular soil directly under the starter soil is my thing. Done playing with that. The 3-4" nursery cups or solo-cups with holes is the easiest to manage. The one with the white tag is the one from the other plants pot.

Homecoming Queen ended up a respectable 211g, so I should get almost 2oz out of it. Didn't think it would be that much.
Here's how far I take a plant down without grabbing the scissors or hanging it.
And when pulling a few upper fans I found this - actually growing out of the stems. I haven't had any yet with a nug in the middle of the leaf.

I spent the evening in the tents, and I'm not done yet. Stopped for second dinner and a pot of coffee, and I'll sleep in tomorrow. The PD got another dry feed, lost more leaves, getting frosty. The main leaves I took were the upper inside ones. I remembered the primary trait on the PD was YUUUUUUUUUGE fan leaf stems. I only had two in that closet, and they filled it. And the leaves were like a "feed-me" barometer.
Anyway, it's gonna be a crowded mess between the plants unless I strip all the fans so the middle of each plant will be clear to let light in on them all.
This used the first bucket of water. I had another 4 gallons bubbling for this tent. Dry feed all around except the up-potted clones.
Culled two so I have one of each VSL, HQ and AH here, and the VSL shrub in the PD tent.
Ditched the lower oscillating fan for a central updraft so I get the floorspace back - since I have all these shelves going on that might be the new thing.
I still need to make a few plant tags, LST the clones I just repotted (could wait), and repot the seedlings (can't wait).

These are all hanging out until I flip them. Keeping the white-tag "$" bean if it's a girl, then one or two of the bagseeds - not being a breeder, I want to see what I accidentally cooked up.
I got to thinking about it and if something threw a late nanner that I didn't catch and it spread the love a little I have had nothing but fire in the tents for a while - as long as it ain't a herm-fest it should rock.

The Homecoming Queen dry-sift is on hold.
I work the trim through a 220 screen without being too careful. Then I run it gently through the 120 and subsequent screens. Just using the little vibrator or tapping the sides with something. I don't scrape it or brush it against the screen or anything. When I got to the gentle part this stuff does not want to go through. It is resinous and sticky and keeps making little hash balls with the vibration.
So I am going to give it a day to make sure it is completely dry, then re-sift the whole mess. With it sticking on it's own this is hash waiting to be made. I'll have to find the sweet spot where it is less leafy than pictured, then have two different grades. The puro will get pressed and aged, the lesser stuff won't even get squished, just decarbed for edibles.

Yes, I bouoght a pack to try. Marketing genius if you ask me. Use the scamdemic to create a new product
(check the bullets)I will look into the per-cone cost vs rolling my own, but the simple fact is that i have weed I don't put in cones because a few tokes and you're good - and the 4th or 5th time you re-light it the flavor sucks. I have been using the 1.25's to make smaller cones anyway, but smaller is a pain in the ass. These are about half that size. So convenience is also a factor. Capitalism rocks.

I got the clones situated today. VSL and Angel Heart got the same spread, out to the pot edge. From there I am just snipping any excess sprouts that look skinny. All the rest can stay and I'll spread them around the outside as they get taller
The Homecoming Queen is her own animal. I pruned almost all of the fan leaves - they were just single blade, and any junk from around the stem.
This will be a Christmas Tree, and I'll let the bud weight start separating the limbs. I think it'll be better if the stems get a little woody before I mes with them much.
And the VSL shrub will get the same treatment. I topped it and trimmed half a dozen skinny limbs. Today was just about seeing what was going on with all of them. This tent still has that new car smell.
