THE HOMESTRETCH

We are in the homestretch now. Here is a check list of things to do and to keep in mind.

  1. I’m trying to use less water this year and still have healthy plants. Just about 1/2 gal in the morning and again a 1/2 gallon of water in mid afternoon, and another 1/2 gal in the early evening. Our weather has been pretty much perfect… sunny and warm and so far no storms.
  2. Inspect your girls for bugs, spiders and bud-rot. Look close for any breakage so that you can fix it or it will get worse. Duct tape works as does a scrap of T-shirt and string.
  3. Clip off all the big leaves… dead leaves, yellow or faded leaves.
  4. All my girls are over-grown, falling out, looking scraggly. Heavy flower buds make for heavy branches. On every branch are many, many pistillate calyxes that grow into the flower bud. Coming out of these bag-like calyxes are two long string like appendages, the pistils. These are male-pollen catchers. Inside the bag-like pistillate calyx is the ovary. Glandular trichomes grow all over the calyx as well as on the pistils. The get-high THC is made by the marijuana plant to attract and hold on to any male pollen that is in the breeze. As these pistillate calyxes plump and swell and get larger, the branches fill out with these flower buds. By late September many of the pistils are worn out and will soon turn color. Tans, reds, pinks, oranges, ambers. As these clear to creamy pistils die off and turn color, these buds begin to look very pretty. When most (90%) are dry and crinkly then it is time to remove that bud (or group of buds from that branch) and trim it, bag it and tag it.
  5. They devote much time now for the family and friends are also part online prescription viagra of the rehabilitation process. Final Remarks! Purchasing anti-impotence medication online offers convenience in more levitra prices ways than one. Researchers said discount bulk viagra that more studies are required to determine the exact cause of the psychological problems causing ED. But as the blood supply is insufficient men fail to attain an orgasm, in this case it tab sildenafil http://icks.org/n/data/ijks/1482461222_add_file_3.pdf can be prevented.

  6. If your pairs of hairs (pistils) are still creamy white then that bud is still trying to get pregnant and is still making THC trichomes.
  7. When you get to harvest time, clip selectively and keep the leaf- trim and dry it in a separate paper bag. Keep this shake to make KIEF later.
  8. Scissors, paper bags, labels. glass jars? Get ready to put on YOUR favorite music and get to clipping. If you find any seeds, put ‘em away with a label as to the date and type of pot. Next season starts in early March.
  9. You have another 3 to 5 weeks to calmly, selectively clip and trim your girls. The buds or the branches that are not ready yet… leave ‘em on the plant to continue to grow and mature Four to 5 days makes a big difference in the amount of frost (trichomes) the plants can grow.
