How much longer do you figure on Rio3? I mean, that Carnival at 114 days is one fine and statuesque beauty just straining to get in there and show off. Geez, what a beautiful plant. They're all beautiful, even with the danged whiteflies.
Freddy's best is living up to its reputation. Those were some beautiful close-up shots Graytail.
I'll have to stroll through again tomorrow. For some reason my iPad won't get me on the Internet and I'm using the phone. The eyes are complaining. Tomorrow then.
Rio3 is gonna be awhile - due in early May.
Wow Graytail!!! Those are some beautiful, chunky, frosty, sticky, lovely, amazing plants you have their sir!!! wow! That freddies best looks so shiny too! and that Taskenti!!! wow!
Thank ya, sir! They ain' much to look at but all the right stuff is there. Recently, I ran across another article about stress and trichome production and it made me wonder if the insect pressure isn't helping. I'm getting small yields this round but they're surprising me with their punch.
You saw that crazy shine off Freddy's too? They look like they're made of waxed leather!
Sorry to hear about the Spino not working. That stuff cured 3 Thrip infestations for me like nothing. It kills those hell beasts that won't be named, so you would think it would kill some measley flies. I understand it overexcites the nervous system of certain insect species, so it really comes down to their little fly brains. They don't seem to be more than a nuisance, the plants look stellar as always!
Heheh, well it didn't qualify as "eradication" but we haven't gone through many lifecycles yet, and I started easy with the spray, not soaking them down thoroughly. This last treatment was more thorough so I'll wait for a reaction from that, and I still haven't drenched. There's a jug of concentrate coming and when it gets here I'm gonna wave it around in the bloom room while explaining exactly what's gonna happen to any freeloaders who don't mosey along soon. We'll see how much they like to party with spinosad all over everything. Hmph!
Everything is trucking right along, looks great in there! I can say I am now part of the Dr. Grinspoon club I tried my tester and damn is that a nice strain, It kinda feels like a workout when it's over, what a ride though! This beast will live in my garden for a long time. Now I want to pheno hunt. I have a panama going in veg so I'm glad to hear it is comparable. It is going to be tough to top the Dr. though.
DrG has Panama Red in it so you get that sensory/sensual high mixed in with the Mex/Thai. Fun stuff!
Every single plant you grow is a stunner. I always enjoy your update posts. Though I am a little bummed that the spinosad isn't killing those lil suckers. I do know it's supposed to affect the larvae more than the adults. Is it possible it's just the delay of still seeing the adults that were already alive?
Thank you for being someone who sees past the horde of insects! There's actually some good looking stuff under all that. Yeah, I'm hoping for reduced reproductivity. I'm expecting it actually. Sheesh, if not, I'll have to gas 'em and stink up the house with filtered freshly burned sulfur fumes. I'm getting real tired of 'em. I grow nicer stuff than this. Bah.
And I thought my last carnival was frosty
I also recognize that clones often look better and get more resign.
And I saw some trips some weeks ago and gave them spinosad very heavy no trips but that 10 little fly I got and kill every day are still there.
Last time I got rid with some sand on top but I don't like the mess.
I'm not so sure clones are better, at least not in my experience. I think they often turn out better because we already have a sense of how they're going to grow and what they need. And also keep in mind that we often choose the best cut from a group.
This insect issue highlights three things:
1. HB plants can survive severe insect pressure.
2. Kill off insects quickly and surely, or they can fairly easily adapt to your methods.
3. It would be a lot easier in a sealed environment.
How's Gray today.... just cruising thru brotha. Have a great afternoon Gray, cheers.
Day off, hangin' out, wakin' n' bakin' ...
Did you get a blast of that cold, or was it only the poor souls south of you? Sheesh, that was a nasty one! It came through here kinda mild.
I'm trying to decide whether to trim up Grin1 or take a nap ...
Of course, I'll be firing up the pipe first, so ... ... *shrug* (how come there's no shrug emoji?)
An old guy on his day off should be entitled to go do any of those things, right? Wouldn't an age card be cool? Past 55 you can grow and smoke as much as you like? I mean seriously, how much trouble is an old guy gonna cause? Let us go home and get quietly stoned.
Can't believe its another awesome Update Monday..well..today its not, but yesterday was..
Great job, as per usual..
The weeks go by too fast! I have to trim up several ounces over the next couple weeks, too! I like to smoke it more than I like to trim it.
