Canadian Growers Group & Friends

I don't take off many, just enough to keep the plant open. Got these guys coming in out of the cold.

To collect lady bugs, I will pick a dry area that has lots of leaves on the ground in spring or fall.
Put a few tomatoes cages upside down in the area, walk around in the leaves, then check to see how many crawled up the wires
I'll cut the top off a pop bottle & stick it in what's left, to make a trap & just flick the little buggers off the wire, into the trap
Then it's off to release them into my grow area. lots crash & burn in the lights, but some survive even find babies sometimes in the spring

I have seen Lady Bugs for sale at various seed houses (garden) and used with some success and have wondered if it is possible to use them in a indoor grow.....they would work on various cannabis pests.

Got that right Oddy, I just got home from a long trip and I expected all my plants would be dead and shriveled, but I was surprised to see them all alive even if some didn't grow much. Still they are covered in lots opaque, white trichomes so I imagine they'll be potent enough for me. One is so sticky little lace wing flies are stuck to it just like those old long fly sticky traps. Before I left on my trip I harvested the hermie after meticulously picking off male flowers for a month. Delta's right it probably not worth doing, however I tried a small bud in the volcano last night and it was a really good, clear, energetic up high. This was a volunteer plant that came up by my compost pile last April. I belive its genetics are Zamaldelica x (Zamadelica X (Durban Poison x Big Freeze). If so it's a nice fast mostly sativa plant with colas bigger than pure sativa. I have three more growing in my garden. The big one should be more even potent than the hermie. So today I'm chopping them and looking forward to their great high.

This year I grew a cross I made last year, (Zamaldelica x Purple Satellite) and although the two plants grew into females the watering was sporadic and they didn't get very big. I suspect given proper conditions the plants would have been much taller and bushier. Nevertheless, I can't complain about the high. I microwaved a small bud to give a preview of its potential and I was quite amazed by its strength and clarity. It was like looking through a TV screen into another world. There was at the same time what felt like distance, a space between me and the screen, I could see clearly and focus on what I was looking at, but I still found my mind wandering down its own little rabitt holes and I'd have to concentrate to get back on track; It was a tad psychedelic. And it certainly was clear and somewhat warmer than Zamaldelica or Golden Tiger. I think the addition of Zamaldelica (Reunion Island X Golden Tiger (Malawi x Thai) and the Oaxacan Gold genes really kicked up the psychoactivity ratio, and the Nepalese contributed a little warmth you don't usually find in Zamaldelica and Golden Tiger. So all in all a very good cross and visually the purple colour is a nice addition too. I couldn't help myself so I pollinated a small branch with my Golden Tiger x Sinai pollen. Maybe I'll grow one of those seeds out next year.
