Amy Gardner Of Eden: Forest Adventures With Doc Bud’s HBB

Highya Amy, Beez, guys,

I discovered Super Silver Haze last summer. I grew it as an auto last summer outdoors. It went through some of the wet season, and didn't have any bud rot. I read on MRS website they are mold resistant. And they'll finish mid October, so I'll try them next summer (not the auto part). Plus, I still have a couple Carnival seeds left. Last year they had some botrytis, but mostly near the end. I think around 3-4 zips I picked off. Not bad out of 3.3 lbs for 3 plants outside. So, looks like we're all discovering together. Oh, Amy, I wanted to mention your growing season is very much like we had last year. A lot of wet (fog, rain, humidity) stuff. I'm at 44 degrees north latitude. Are you near that (only south instead of north)? Cheers all

Critical started showing some Botrytis

Yep - Critical is not an ideal one necessarily I know but I’ll pull this one in ok, i think :)

Last year I got some rot on a Critical Mass x Afghani which I had to do exactly that with - surgical removal. Cancer is an excellent analogy actually.

This Critical Mass is in a much breezier, sunnier, elevated spot than that one so I’m all fingers crossed. Its easy to inspect every day too so that will help (last year it was out in the bush ;)

Yuk is right - revolting stuff! Noted - i wont grow any blueberry strains outdoors ...

While I was on Dope-Seeds ordering my White Widow this past weekend, I also picked up their Northern Lights. It's going to be running alongside the WW. :cool:

That sounds great - I’d just posted that reply to beez about the NL, and then I saw this! I got some of that one from them as well :thumb: NL should do great outdoors I think. It’s my alternative to teh critical mass, for next year maybe.
 
SO hey folks - a few nice upgrades on the site lately - you may have noticed. Bookmarking and sharing options and more options under the like button (click and hold),

There has also been this development:

:party::hippy::hookah:

And many others!

:snowboating:
 
:meditate:
 
Watch! While we all go a bit silly on them for a minute.


:hookah:
 
So many emojis now! :thedoubletake:
 
Isn’t it funny it seems so many!? There’s still heaps less than what there used to be.
Remember that big page of them that used to come up? :jawdropper:


And i’m Not complaining or asking for more.. the ones we have now seem great! Just, we get used to things... dont we? :battingeyelashes:

Why not try putting a fan outside on that one plant that keeps getting droopy?
 
It gets plenty of breeze, beez (couldn’t resist the rhyme :D). And it isn’t a temperature issue, because it happens when it’s cool as well. I can’t be running a cable in and out everyday anyway ... oh! to be young and able bodied! :laughtwo:

I’ll get something rigged up to filter the sun on it, in the next few days I’m sure :Namaste:
 
Hey Amy I was wondering if you have ever come across any Australian Bastard Cannabis. I have been watching CSI: Humboldt do a seed preservation run with it and was wondering if it is prevalent over there or just a weird anomaly. Him and another guy are doing runs of it and it is very odd looking stuff. The most stealth plants I have seen. i am just wondering if the end product is anything worth growing or not. Here are some pics.

Good find Yeti! That is certainly a strange plant. The leaves look like the rounded ones from a reveg.
Almost looks like a literal bush or a giant tumbleweed.

I have heard of it Yeti, but only once or twice and to be honest that’s the first time Ive seen a picture. I always thought it was an urban myth!

Folks are cagey here - get antsy talking about it. I know only a few people who grow and out of those only one of them will have a conversation about it (my garden helper).

SO, it’s not everywhere and I have never knowingly smoked any of it. I wonder what got into the genetic line that smoothed the leaves out that way? It sure looks like a bastard plant!

Yeah grow one! You can tell me all about it :laughtwo:
 
Midweek Update: Phenomena :thedoubletake:

If I hadn’t seen the duststorm coming on Tuesday evening, I might have been a bit concerned at first glance of the leaves yesterday morning :eek:

Then, after posting the beautiful little jumping spider the day before, I realised the next day that something had been hiding from me while I took those photos... in that very same spot on the plant...

:eek: There must have been an egg-sac hiding in plain sight - the day before I photographed all over that area. I have assumed they are the jumping spider offspring, but I have seen another little spider around on that plant as well. These are right where that jumping spider was though - so it seems most likely. Thatbud in the first shot above is the same bud as this one.

Moving on, the phenomena never stop around a garden!

I want to share this for anyone following along the dropsy Candida scenario. I have plans for dealing with it - this is just for interest, and posterity.

I think I have confirmation about the light intensity question. A little after 930am yesterday, I literally watched the leaves start to dropsy right before my eyes after the sun came out from behind the thin cloud cover we’d had for most of the morning, and hit the plants full on. It’s a subtle difference in the pics, but they’re only 10minutes apart -bought to see it starting. My eyes totally bugged when I saw a leaf drop right in front of me. It was wild to watch (esp while the other plants did the opposite!).

And this a close up of the same branch - same time difference.

No doubt the shade cloth or whatever i work out will help :thumb:

ANd finally - MiG29 is sooo ready but I cant get to it for a day or so. It has almost completely stopped drinking. It should be more relaxing like this tho don’t you think :battingeyelashes:

I washed off the dust with warm water in the solo sprayer yesterday evening.

Today is Brix foliar day. Instead of doing it super early “when the birds are loudest” as Doc always says, I’m waiting until the temp/RH balance is closer to the sweet spot from a VPD point of view, for the best chance of the stomata being open. There’s going to be a limit to that because I don’t want to wait too long. ANd it could be totally flawed to be thinking of VPD outdoors :hmmmm: But I did decide that 7am with a temperature of 12ºC (weird cold summer nights right now) and a RH of 85% is probably not an optimum time to foliar. It’s now 8am, 13ºC and 91% humidity according to the real-time reader down the road from here. It’s closer to the sea tho’, so I should prolly get out of bed and take the hygrometer out to the garden... :ciao:
 
Congrats on the birth of your spider babies! May they live long, bug-eating lives :).

It must have been wild to watch the leaves droop in real time like that. Shade cloth (or greenhouse cover material) should be just what the doctor ordered.

And the dust! That's why we wash our buds :).

It was!

It was 16ºC and 65% RH - close enough :thumb:

...Then I forgot the snake oil! :eye-roll: Never mind. Next week.
