Very nice! How long before they take the corn? I guess only a few days, huh? Glad the Pound Cake is as far along as she is, gonna be a bountiful harvest. :thumright:

Thank you.
They won't be long. They have a good start on a ginormous field 3 mi. down the road but not much activity yesterday nor today. All the silage comes by the hut in open trucks and each leaves a little along the road and the yard. I may pot them and finish them in the garage under HPS. Maybe.

The corn harvest arrives. Tomorrow is expected to be beautiful.
I plan to harvest the London, pot the all gas and leave the Rascal's OG x Lemon Diesel, for now.

nah. I cut them all. Left a couple lower branches of All Gas and Raskal's.

Yeah, potting those big plants would've involved a lot of root-pruning, would've shocked the crap outta them. If they're immature you can still cook with them. Such is outdoor in the Brave Little State ;)

yut, I've potted them before, they don't love it but they can ripen up a little more. For plants like these, hash-making is the easiest process. I'll see how the trimming goes, maybe some will get into jars. The rest bagged into the freezer for bubble.

Well, this is how they look on the bush. At only 4-5 weeks of flowering I hope they have some kick. The violet plant will be trimmed to smoke as flowers, the others will be rough trimmed, bagged and frozen for hash.

Thank you, Dr. Bush. :salut:
Wet trimmed and froze the Raskal's OG x Lemon Diesel. The green bud also sport plenty of tricomes but they still young. I'm sure some good will come of my effort. :bong2:

 

[Shovelhandle]

Left a couple of branches of All Gas and Raskal's in the garden.

The coming nicer weather should help those last buds along.

Are you looking at a potential frost for tonight? Supposed to drop into the thirties here....

Nothing like that. Low tonight expected to be 44º and warmer every night and dry for the next two weeks. So if the thieves stay away there may be some decent results out there.

The All Gas (no lumps) and the Rascal OG etc. are trimmed and frozen for hash.

Beautiful day for trimming on the deck. Sunny and 70º. I got a sunburn right through my black jeans.
Good start on trimming the London Pound Cake x Wedding Tree. About half done after a couple of hours. Started with the bottom and working up. It has been warm during the day and the plants were drying quickly in the garage. Fiskars were having a tough time, loading up constantly and difficult to clean the blades off. Had three pairs in rotation and still was cleaning half the time.
Buds looked great, sparkled like a bowl of diamonds. I took a couple of photos early on when I took five. They suck. :) I got the light behind the buds.
I'll finish up tomorrow. Meanwhile I hit scissor hash and it rocked my world for a minute! I took it and rolled it into by ball of bubblehash. :licklips:

Nothing like scissor and finger hash to get you high!!!

 

[Shovelhandle]

almost fair compensation for a sticky chore, cleaning clippers.

Someone told me recently that olive oil is not as good a solvent as coconut oil, for cleaning the hands. I've been using olive oil for years, will have to buy a tub of coconut oil as it's much cheaper than using the organic extra virgin olio....

 

[Shovelhandle]

Trimming done for now. Here's a little dish of London etc. bud. I wear gloves working with the plant and clean up with 91% alcohol.

Broke the remaining nine branches to lay low and should stay well out of site. They will orient back facing the sun tomorrow. They are icky, sticky and finishing nicely. No bugs, eggs, weed seeds etc. Clean. Hoping for the best. Wet weekend but only a few branches to shake.

Best wishes for your second harvest!

Merci. :ty:
I am hoping for something very good to bring to the growers rendezvous in a few weeks. Other wise it's purple bud. :damnhippie:
