Jandre2k3s - Strain Info Only Orange Crush - Veg Cycle For Cloning

[jandre2k3]

So.... the GG#4 that I have in quarantine is INFESTED!! Couldn't catch the little fucker on microscope capture, because its capture is too slow, but it's there. Not, bad, just a couple. Wait, what am I saying A COUPLE of them is BAD!! They BREED!! So, I mixed up a batch o' poison and sprayed the quarantine area, and then, just because I'm paranoid about them, I sprayed the my other boxes as well. So, what you see on the rocks? That's poison... yup, top to bottom spray. Can't be too careful.

Guess what....



Yeah....

Glad I have a back-up.

You still got the 90w gen1? Except 1 panel, which seems like a switch issue, I haven't had problems with gen1or2. I think the smallest panels were the way to go with these...

 

[jandre2k3]

I've had 2/3 of the Gen1 90w crap out.

Veg starts tonight!!

 

[jandre2k3]

Gonna keep spraying neem and pyrethrins on a weekly basis to keep the parasite load down, if not nonexistent.

You live in a mite hotspot?

 

[jandre2k3]

We have had very mild winters of late (not below 40f/4.5c) so it doesn't kill off the bugs that would usually die off in winter. Though it is warm enough not to kill the bugs, it is still cold to the bugs. So they seek out warmer temps, thus moving inside and ravaging any susceptible plants there. This is what I've been dealing with all throughout the cooler months here, since September. In the Hotter months (105f/40.5c) the mites move to cooler places, and I have to fight those off.

This river valley is a bad place to be if you don't like bugs. On top of those that kill plants indoors, we have a plague of flies every year, and Mosquito Hawks (crane fly) are bad this year, too. Then we get the creepy crawlies, wolf, widow, daddy long leg, and funnel web spiders. We also get black, red, and fire ants (no jumping jacks thankfully). Centipedes and millipedes abound, and we get the odd mantis. This year we will ALSO be having a cicada hatching, that should be lovely. Add that to all the REGULAR leaf-eaters like leaf hoppers, locust, and other caterpillars, and we're going to have some problems growing inside and out as feeding pressure increases throughout the spring.

Yeah, we have lots of those around!!

OH!! I forgot to mention all the slugs and snails that live around here from fall to late spring! Fuckin' annoying.

I don't waste beer on traps. Plus, the dog will drink the beer.

I use Sluggo: The active ingredient in Sluggo is Iron Phosphate, a mineral that naturally occurs in soil. Unconsumed bait will degrade and become part of the soil. OMRI Certified Organic.

Growing REALLY tight and slowly... Starting to lose my patience!! But oh well, it's still alive, so it can't be all bad.

Okay, first, there was germination, then sproutation, now, WE HAVE VEGETATION!! Seems to be doing pretty well, from the looks it. I might be moving this to the other side, after a while. Depends on if the Blackberry takes off, or not.

Looking really healthy man...did you fix your lights? Looking at, purple og#18, yes or no?

 

[jandre2k3]

Lights switched for a backup fixture. Purple OG#18 is a really good choice if you want a photo purple. Purple Urkle is a good one, too.
