DrDoob's Continuous Carousel Of Cannabis: Hempy, MarsHydro, GROWant, Rx Green

Hey Doob, the indoor grow as an entirety is not my thing, but I do grow indoor for about 100 days till I put them outdoors... That being said on the "epedimic" I was told by an old farmer that tobacco spit mixed in water repels things like flies of most sorts, mites of many sorts when mixed and soaked with fresh rosemary sprig , and many other pests... I thought he was crazy, but I tried it... Over time I have gotten my own little mix together if you want my recipe I can post it for you ... I make a very dense mix, then thin it down quite a bit to spritz plants regularly... I smoke so it doesnt bother me as far as the smell, but it can be strong for about 30 to 45 minutes after spray depending on how airtight your area is... It does work for me, doesnt necessarily kill them per say, but does keep them down to a low low population once you kinda get em under control... Unfortunately you kinda gotta give em hand jobs lol, with some peroxide and neem oil mix first to kill so it is important to get em under control as early as possible while your babies are small .... Also a monthly addition of nicotine to grow medium watering continues to combat what alot of my grow friends the "Chinese Army of pests" lmao any who good luck and Green Days My Friend... Ps I also grow rosemary with each of my plants, wouldnt work with Autos... I also sprinkle dry rosemary, the prepared kind, on top of my soil lightly, as they tend to stay around where they breed.. I this makes any sense, I am kinda in a hurry... Difficult to add monthly I have heard if you grow Hydro... Peace..
 
Yeah @MaddHacker please post your recipe. I’ve used a cigarette with hot peppers and soap quite a long time ago with great success. Right now I’m using “nuke ‘em” by z7 which I think is citric acid based and it along with twice daily vacuuming seems to be doing the trick slowly but surely.

It’s just a constant battle with these little bastards. I’ve seen a few here and there for quite a bit, but in the colder months I guess they were mostly dormant so I let them go way too long. I have a feeling my plants were suffering. Everything just seems a lot happier now that they’re no longer at epidemic levels.
 
You definately got it bud, I am done downstairs so I will get that together with pics first thing in the am ok?? Careful with Hot Pepper and the eye rub thing lol.. Also if you have access to a hardware store, dont know where you are in da world, but if you can get those cheap ass fly strips..... well just check out my journal #13 post pics ..... that way works very well for me...

I have the fly strips, they work well but not against the crazy horde I stupidly let develop. I’ve got one more plant that I haven’t sprayed that’s almost done flowering, once that’s gone I think the battle will be a lot easier.
 
Got some shots of Tent 4, there are three plants left. The two smaller are in the 1 gal pots. Which thanks to an unrelated post by @FelipeBlu I now have inspect for plastic symbols to make sure they’re not poisonous. :welldone:

I’ve been giving the 1024 nothing but AN “Flawless Finish” for a week or so, I haven’t really noticed much change. But will be interesting to see if it changes the taste.

Ok Doob, first of all just really went back through your journal last night and I gotta say you got the Green thumb for sure.... Many beautiful pics at different stages....

SO here you go... 1.) 1 can Wintergreen pouch chewing tobacco.. ( Wintergreen for pleasant smell)
2.) 1 Gallon of ph balanced water ( I have an awesome 6.6 ish ph well )
3.) 1 cup H2O2
4.) 1/4 cup Neem oil ( 3 tbsp of dry rosemary works.)

Start by putting about one and a half cups of h2o off to the side... Add all pouches to gallon container with water... Shake vigorously and let settle.... At this point add Neem, and Shake vigorously again.... Let is settle overnight ( 12 - 14 hours) Now here is where you make your own choice... For quick but lackluster results you can boil mixture for about 15 minutes, strain out pouches, and mix H2o2 in to mixture along with enough of the leftover water to fill container when cooled of course.. Make sure to use a spray bottle with extra mist capacity so as not to clump on plants.. Me I just let the mixture cure kinda like Sun tea, in that I let it steep at room or tent temp for around three days, then follow the rest of recipe prep... The peroxide helps to thin out solution and keep from sticking to leaves as much... Neem tends to dry out larvae and eggs.. without those no breeding eh... Any way I use this method on a much larger scale outdoors if needed as well... I usually mix mine as it is a dense dark mixture about 6 parts water and one part nic mix in spray bottle............ Green days and good luck...
 
Thanks for the complements. Lol I couldn’t imagine myself ever going to a store and buying “Wintergreen pouch chewing tobacco” (for their intended purpose). If things do get worse I will give it a shot though. I have a honeysuckle outside that is a magnet for insects, I might just have to get some of those pouches and give it a shot. I have lots of fresh and dried Rosemary is that better then neem oil (I have that too)?
 
Bored sitting in the hotel smoking one figure might as well do an updat from the security cameras. I am bit worried the war with the whiteflies will take a major turn for the worse without my daily vacuuming.

I take it trade shows don’t fire you up? :battingeyelashes:

Graytail fought whiteflies for years. He may know a thing or two about controlling them.
 
Wow Doob! I haven’t visited in a while and the girls grew up. :high-five: Your skills are attracting sponsors. Very cool buckaroo. :battingeyelashes:

I can’t wait to see your garden. Don’t worry too much about the whiteflies. Try finding the satisfied feeling of them gone and the garden thriving without them. Then hang onto that energy in place of the frustrated one you’re letting them cause.

It sounds crazy, but I swear it’s how I was inspired in ways to defeat the Borg. Worth a try, eh?

No, trade shows aren’t really my thing. I’m not exactly a people person. Thankfully I don’t have many actual responsibilities. I just do damage control and the occasional meeting, I don’t have to work the booth.

And WTF weed is legal but it’s not legal to smoke it anywhere. It’s all good though my room isn’t the only skunky one. :ganjamon:
 
Haha! You’re not a people person and I’m probably the quintessential people person. Lol!

I just finished dinner. Waiting for the check to come back so I can sign off and get back home. The cob intensifies everything I use from then on and my brownie hit so hard while I was out on the trail it caused me to stumble. :rofl:

There are states that passed medical laws but never made accommodations for production or distribution. Sad, but they’ll fall in time.

Smoking anything in public is restricted. We sure like to control each other, don’t we? Lol!

Time for me to head home. :ciao:
 
Hey...just a thought, but I find when I go to bigger pots than the gallon size I use now the plants get bigger but the yields don’t often offset losing space for something else.

Training has lots to do with it, but hempy isn’t like soil. Larger pots aren’t often the way to go. I’d advise start in the one gallons and let them go. Mine always get bigger than I anticipated. It can’t all be me. :battingeyelashes:
 
It's not that I'm not a people person exactly, most people do like me and stuff. I just don't like big crowds and bright lights, and having to pretend I'm not a huge stoner. I guess I'm kind of quiet and a bit shy. Of course the opposite is true after a few drinks.

Lol there is such a cloud of cigarette and cigar smoke here it's crazy, and then people just puffing huge clouds of some silly sour apple cotton candy blueberry poison smelling vape. I do have a few THC vape cartridges so I am able to get high. But I rolled 10 joints before I left and I got no where to smoke them except the parking garage corner like a crack smoker...

I've been thinking that maybe I didn't let them veg in the 1 gal pots long enough. I basically transplanted them and flipped in like 2 days. Also that 1024 x Unknown OG just seems to have tiny buds that mature in like 6 weeks cause the clone is doing the exact same, but it's awesome.
