This year's grow...and a first time bud wash

After 4 days in trim jail, finally done. Two plants, both Blue Dream.

This was my first year trying a bud wash. Both plants had some bud rot (always on the biggest bestest buds, of course). Not from caterpillars, but from a very foggy summer here in Northern California. The bud wash definitely adds time to the process, but I used the hydrogen peroxide version, which is supposed to kill mold. I tossed the sections of bud rot, because my kids smoke it and I don't want to take chances. But I did like the idea of doubling down and killing any latent mold spores that I may have missed.

Took me 4 days to trim, wash and hang out here in my workshop/art studio. It's unheated and not insulated, but the weather is expected to be perfect high 60's over the next several days. It's my 4th year growing, and I'm hoping it's the best.

We honestly don't even smoke it. Used to, but kinda prefer my wine now. But I'm a long time vegetable gardener, and am really having fun with the challenge. It's definitely the hardest thing I grow!

Potato peel powder as an amendment?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone tried using potato peels as a fertilizer? They’re supposedly better than banana peels so I’m thinking I’ll just make it into a powder and mix in my soil or maybe make a homemade top dress with it.

You’re not suppose to use green potato peels or ones with a bunch of sprouts because apparently the solanine can be toxic.
