Watch for it in February or March when I start new beans … I’m not set up at all for indoor growing just yet. I’m watching for a deal on a tent next and I will wait forever for the right price. 
I still need to share my story about how I just chopped that last Hash God this last Sunday that I let my friend grow for me. If you recall, it had a spider mite infestation. But this plant was a MONSTER and smelled SO danky. I had to do the chopping, washing, drying, trimming and jarring so differently from the plants I grew outside and harvested in September or October (how soon we forget, eh?). Apparently, a good wash job does get rid of the spider mites. Thank God. But I still have the heebie jeebies from the whole experience. More later, with pics!

Eww spider miters. I knew i saw them bastards. That sucks but if your fine with it then more power to ya. Mites are hard to get rid of and every grower needs to get them at least one time and learn to defeat them. A lot of the time mites win. Now i spray the plants like they have bugs in case and it keeps the bugs away.
Glad the plant was a big one. Im going to make that one an F2 soon.

I thinkin on maybe going the reg route, I put 6 in this tent and should have just done four, I spent two whole days thinning out the bottoms, and defoliating and taking down the rope hangers and zip tying the lights to the tent ceiling poles, crawling around between the pots sticking the tops through a trellis net then unhooking it from all the buds and crawling out then lowering it down then back to crawling around poking things through again and then doing it all over again till I got everything supported.
Will never not put a trellis over them first again lol.

You saw what may have been spider mites on my badly cut clone cuttings which I’ve destroyed after you pointed it out. I didn’t plan the cuttings for clones well at all. I got some cuttings from all three types you sent me (Sky God, Hash God and White Runtz x Skywalker OG) but I did it while they were flowering and just threw them into soil and forgot about them outside. Not sure how they survived. When I finally paid attention to them about a month or so later, they were still green, but only the Sky God clone had roots. Weird. I’ve not yet posted pics of the monster Hash God my friend grew in her greenhouse.
Me okay with spider mites? I’m not okay with spider mites at all and couldn’t get my friend to use anything to kill them (I gave her DE and she had some Captain Jacks, but she didn’t want to use either). It was a huge strong plant and her theory was that what doesn’t kill it makes it stronger and I gotta say, it was true for her and she is the best gardener I know. As bad as her spider mite infestation was, that plant THRIVED. I couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t until she told me she didn’t want the plant anymore that I got perturbed b/c that meant I had to deal with it if I wanted it and I did want it. It was too big and beautiful of a plant to destroy. I’ll post pics soon. The fan leaves were bigger than my hands although I admit I have tiny hands, but still. Big black fan leaves.
You’ll see when I post it’s pre and post harvest. Amazing plant. I still haven’t decided whether I can handle smoking or using it for edibles, so I’m considering using it for lotion. I bought a really cool tiny microscope that @happilyretired suggested and I love it! I was able to check to make sure the mites died and left after chopping and washing. But I still get the heebie jeebies just thinking about it LOL
I’ve learned a lot from you and so many here and except for my failed clone cuttings, I’ve been pretty successful keeping the bugs and such off the plants I grew. You are right when you talk about prevention. It’s the only way. If the infested plant was mine, it would never gotten as infested as badly as it did.
Sorry for the long note. LOL. And thanks again so much for all your help!!

Okay, here is the prodigal Hash God that came home again story …
Since my medical card only allows me to grow six plants and I had eight, I gave two to a friend on August 20, 2021. A Hash God and a White Runtz x Skywalker OG that we on this forum decided were both female. The WRxSW OG surprised us and turned out to be ALL male and had to be put down. My friend planted the Hash God inside a small greenhouse. I provided her with some DE, Captain Jack’s and Mosquito Bites for IPM. She never used them.
I found the beginnings of bud rot on my own plants on October 8, 2021 and freaked out, so I chopped them all. To this day, I regret that b/c I think they could/should have gone longer, but bud rot was my biggest fear being up here in rain land. I’ve already documented all of that in this journal.
Back to the Hash God my friend grew in her greenhouse. I noticed her spider mites either on Nov 19th. At the time, I couldn’t get her to use anything to kill them and since it was her plant, I stayed out of it. As @OlyBoy would say, not my circus, not my monkeys or something, I always get sayings wrong …
Here are some pics from the day I found the spider mites on October 15, 2021. The Hash God is so tall, it’s taller than the ceiling of the greenhouse. A foot or two taller than me. And SO danky.
Here is the Hash God on November 19th, even taller and dankier:
Here is the plant on December 16th, the day I brought the plant home. After cutting the colas and double bagging them, the bag weighed 4 lbs. I took it straight home and immediately washed every piece as well as I could with peroxide, baking soda, and lemon juice and rinse water. I didn’t do much trimming except for those monster black fan leaves and some of the other leaves. But I was so grossed out by the existence of the spider mites, I didn’t want to full trim (UGH) or spend any more time necessary with them (UGH):
The buds were huge, pic doesn’t do justice:
Washing time. Three dunks. 1st was peroxide/water; 2nd was baking soda/lemon juice/water; and 3rd was plain water. LOTS of dunking and swishing. LOTS:
Here is my new usb microscope and the trichs from this plant:
And, last, here is the finished project. 84g when VERY dry, before I did the orange rind hydration. I keep meaning to weigh again to see if the weight changes due to more moisture:
Confession time: After taking off the fan leaves, washing them thoroughly and hanging to dry, the holidays came and I left them to dry WAY too long, which was ten days in a room that got too warm a couple of times. I was SO mad at myself. Those lovely monster buds were CRUNCHY, they were so dry. Finally on 12/26/21, I did the final dry trimming and then put them in a jar with some fresh orange rinds and the rH went from 45% to 59% within a couple of hours and they went from crunchy to normal. I read that once I let it dry too long, curing was out. However, I’m still opening and burping as if I’m curing. Checking the buds, shaking the jars, etc. They feel great and smell great. And no spider mites.
That’s my Hash God story and I’m sticking to it … hope you made it this far …

Oh, a couple of more things that I noticed with this plant.
Not only was there just barely a scant bit of spider mite webbing, I mean not enough to see with visible eye and very limited by microscope, but this plant gave me some kief. My other plants did not leave kief. And I watched for kief, trust me … LOL

Hell yeah! That’s a great harvest story!
And you harvested that plant on Dec 15th that you planted this past April?

The galactic god was a nice smoke. I used the female as the trait carryover. Typically and statistically 80% of the traits are carried over to the the offspring by the mother. So i usually select the mother first and then the reversal second. But its nice to have multiple females to cross with the male. But you then have multiple strains or prodigy offsprings to test. So in essence you just got 4x the work now in testing. 4 mothers is 4 different offspring lines and 4 mothers making F1’s with totally sifferent phenotypes. You have to grow them all out to find the best of each line you just made. Mannnnnn. And its easy to chuck pollen around and make things. But then you have to test it. Is it even good after all that? Takes time testing selecting to make good strains.
