Dude, you got a nice setup now. Stay indoors. Dial in your temp and humidity controls and you are golden. Good weed is what - $200 an ounce? You’ll cover your expenses in no time. Stick with it and listen to the experts here. Not me, everyone else lol!

Thank you kindly and yeah man it’s stupid expensive here I’ve been going black market last couple grabs for $100 an oz today was the first time I went to a dispensary for myself in months (I’ll go for my mom normally if she needs topical cream).
Lmao hey I welcome all opinions and views in my tent just don’t be like my kid and lay in it only rule lmao
Legalization really drove down the prices on the black market here in Ontario...
I've heard of 50$ ounces - and good stuff too apparently.
I haven't had to buy anything since I've been growing but even then was 100$ or so...
The dispensary stuff is still a little pricey... like 5-15 / g depending on what you're after I think.
It's just funny really because the provincial gov taxes the stuff at like 1$ / g from what I've heard.
Plus all the bs they put retailers through with packaging, testing and distribution...
So of course the black market is still thriving and margins suck for the ppl trying to sell legally - hence the prices...

Here in California I bought an eighth 3 years ago for $50. Really good OG. The stuff I grow may not look as good but it hits the spot. Hoping this year I can improve the quality during dry / cure. Seems to always be something tho . . . sigh.

I'm a little irked about the bugs, and anxious there are more lurking. Typically after work I will hang out on the patio and smoke a doobie to relax. Today I decided instead to go on a bike ride - just a quick 10 mile ride around town.
As I'm leaving my house an ice cream truck is driving slowly down my street. I have not seen an ice cream truck in my neighborhood in years. Dammit. I can't win today. Any other day I would have been slightly buzzed, heard the jingle, and run out front to grab a tasty treat. Fudgesicle maybe. Or Orange 50/50 bar. Man I sure hope he comes by tomorrow.

See what happens when you exercise, I wouldn't risk it again.
Your garden looks wonderful.
Hope you are doing well my friend.
Stay safe

Quick update - not seeing any more caterpillar damage! Yay!
Knock wood.
Here are the ladies this afternoon before I sprayed safer on all:
This time I also sprayed the nets - just in case any stragglers were hiding.
Sunny looking OK - you can barely see the middle of her top cola where I picked off several nugs that were damaged.
Before I sprayed I defoliated Tara.
Before
After
Cindy got her bush trimmed a few days ago and boy did she stretch since.
Looks like the tops grew 2-3 inches in 3 days.
I'll spray all tomorrow afternoon with bt again.
Thanks for taking a look, and helping me avoid doing any more dumb shit.

Hey I'm seeing pistils on the two JH girls again. They seem to be stretching as well. Very dense down below tho. Not sure what to do about that. I may thin it out to avoid bud rot. I got some last year on the LA Pop Rocks I grew - looked a lot like the two JH. Very short and bushy. Dense thick colas down low with lots of single leaves.
What do you think?
I'm always in favor of making sure the plant has good airflow through it! Dense plants are primed for mold, rot, and places for bugs to hide from the sprays.

Agreed.
I have to say the JH girls are not fazed by much. Very robust.
I found one bug on Julie today - looked like a cross between a brown grasshopper and Bruce Lee. Dude gave me attitude so I smooshed him. Not sure if he was hiding under the net or showed up when I took the net off to spray.

Dude.
I'm seeing clawing lower leaves on 2 of my plants so I looked up nitrogen toxicity - bingo! Looks just like that. Lori has dark green leaves and lowers are curling inward. She has a few leaves yellowing then dropping off.
Time to back off the nitrogen I guess!

Still not sure what was causing the clawing on lower leaves so I did not water yesterday. Pots seemed heavy still after several days of lots of hose water. Today they all look really good. I fed nutes to all - but no calmag and lite on big bloom. 2 gallons spread around 7 plants. They should all be light again tomorrow. Lori still has a few claw leaves so she got fed less than the others. Trying to see if she was getting too much water or what.
Not seeing any evidence of bugs other than residual leaf mite damage. The Safer spray seems to be keeping them in check. No signs of caterpillars or further bud damage.
Last year I introduced ladybugs In September. I may do that again this year and limit spraying anything the last 2-3 weeks before harvest. The nets help keep the ladybugs around.
It’s been nice here lately - 92F and 45%RH. Should be same next few days.
Hope you are having a great day!

In flower they don't need much.
What are you feeding and how often? , apologies if you already stated.
They look fantastic though

I’m feeding fox farms trio plus open sesame. For a few weeks I gave just a little more often than their schedule recommended. I’m now seeing brown tips and lower leaves clawing so I’m backing off the nitrogen to see if that resolves it. Next week I’ll stop adding open sesame and start adding beastie bloomz, per FF feeding schedule.
For my particular setup the nets are working well I think. If my plants were much taller or bushier that would be a problem. Right now they get 7 hours direct sun in the morning, then are in shade around 2pm. This works well when temps get over 95F.
If I end up with 5-6 oz per plant I’ll be ecstatic! It’s kinda looking like more but we’ll see.
