Our Ongoing Grows

Well, I have faith I can save that one Pup. I took her from the indoors when they started flowering. She's about done revegging. I'll have Miss J take 2-3 more leaf before I do it's next spray. Isn't many places for these to hide on her. I didn't dunk her,, but you can bet I rubbed and flooded that plant, 3 times when I spray. I will nurse her back to health.
And I can't honestly say I have a pack of dogs so I added acouple more;;;
2 or these
one of them. All fem seed..
I been starting them under this Mars LED I got from our sponsors in a contest. I like this one better than the one I'm using in flower. It's the
I do like it... I will get alot of use outta this one I bee thinking. Normaly I'd be getting my 300 watt CFL for this tent. But this light keeps the starts shorter and tighter that my 600 for now. Great little nursery light. I got it in a mother tent, 32"X16"X5' lights it perfect even for all stages of growth thru flower. I woodn't bat an eye at growing two smaller plants in there completely... Well I'm outta here Keepem Green
 
I got a question??? Anyone whos making small batches of BHO,,,What is the best thing to collect the oil on.. Something to make it easier to retrieve? I been using a 9X9 glass pan. I guess I could tilt the pan to a corner? Oh well..
I grabbed afew pics really fast,,
Here's the Big Dog. She is recovering and the new growth in normal.. I might have slowed her flowering down alittle spraying the shit out of her.
I found very few mites on her. She's been in the last two sprayings. And she just got a good spray of neem I also sprayed the Purple Urkle too.
This here is the plant that was the worst.. I can see white hairs coming thru.. Knock On Wood.
some of the others.. Oh that damn Blue Berry is bearly flowering.. She might take shorter days to turn on.
Rest are labeled;;






Well thats all folks

Gorgeous plants, Brother! :bravo:

I don't make BHO, I do the RSO, but from everything I've seen/read, some pyrex dish is the way to go since it can take the extreme fluctuations from cold to hot. That being said, I would think you could use some sort of silicon baking dish from a temperature perspective, but don't know how the butane would react with the silicon and the best thing about the glass/pyrex, is that it's not going to leach crap into your meds.
 
I wonder if a bowl wood work better? It wood concentrate the oil in the center instead of across the whole bottom making it stay in a smaller area? ?
 
It would probably work, I just use wide razor blades to scrape up the concentrate. Really hasn't been a problem for me.

And, I wold assume it's much easier to scrape the flat surface than the bottom of a convex bowl! ;)
 
True about the curve. I never gathered the finished product. I wonder if you use a small bowl,,, and you steadily F with it?? I don't know. I'm kind of bested.. I got Miss J.. Yea she can be a bull in a china shop,, and breaks every glass pipe she gets ahold of,,, but,, she likes to keep busy,, and she catches on pretty damn fast. So I was just blasting that shit and left,,, but I see she has to work abit to gather it. I guess I should get off my lazy ass and see how it works,,, better when wet? or dry?

Well I blasted everything in the house and out back with a dose of that trifecta. I don't expect miracles,,, but if it knocks back the population of these, fuckers, that's a good thing. And will be a nice change up spray for the regiment.

I think the best thing to do is pinch off any small center buds that are bad,, as soon as they go bad, don't hope they are going to get better...,, cept the tip buds. But taking these popcorns quick,, it won't piss ya off as bad when you finish? And every bug you remove is one less you have to find and treat. And less area to spray.. Lolly Pop the shit out of themmmmm

I dealt with a batch of these hemp mites, 4-5 years back and never knew what hit me. I thought it was a PH thing or even fertilizer burn. I ended up only harvesting the tips and threw the rest in the shit can.

I will say this,,,, all the youngins are going to get sprayed every 3-4 days for a LONG ass time. I'm waiting on a spreader for the DE. I'm thinking of dusting the top of the soil,, mix in abit and redust. Then dust the entire seedling with a cloud of DE. Leave that one there afew days? If that don't kill everything on these small starts,,, I give up............ I'll kill everything I got and start seed........... If it comes to that,, it's ALWAYS better to get rid of everything rather than try to save this or that,, only to start all over again with them suckers and not know it.. It's so easy to miss one or two.. Then 8 weeks later,, WTF not again........ Wood be wise to do this Lazy. Stay on top of the babies,, they are the saveable ones.............

That last time I dealt with them 4-5 years ago, I was doing a flip,, from seed,, so after harvest,, it was all new plants........... And didn't see any till last year. I lost 2 outdoor plants.
 
I like the advice Wood but I hear Neem will work on plants in veg to kill these ffers. I just don't know how to use it. Do I just get whatever is on the shelf at the garden store and use as directed? I like the DE Idea for soil too.

I Just hate to start from scatch like I did last year when I had that bad soil, remember? UG.... I hope I don't find a golden UD or Zamaldelica and have to lose all the clones to hemp mites. Especially the BD.

Cheers,
 
Any cold pressed neem works. I'm pretty sure its the cold pressed that will stay liquid even in chilly weather. Alot of the neem will turn solid and you need to warm the bottle. That Dr Bonners soap,,, is a great spreader/sticker giving better coverage. Always add 5 or 10 drops to the mix. Unless your using a culture of bacteria in the spray. Soaps and oil residue can kill them off... And it helps keep the oil suspended in the water better. Always shake often with whatever you use. BTW that soap is a castile soap and might work great as a wash by its self. Plants like a wash with a soap. You can see the softness in the leaves if you wash with it opens the pores, or stomates, followed up by a rise 20 minutes later... You got a happy plant. The soap will suffocate or disrupt the skin on the mites. Soap em up good and that rise will wash off alot of the eggs and mites. I use safers soap alot like that. It great if you got the space to do it. Yea neem will kill them in veg. Flower too,,IF you can soak it into the water-repellent buds. And you don't mind smoking oils. I've used neem on flowers before,, just really early like 2 weeks in. But I'd use an oz to a gallon for starter to see how plants take it. If ok,, and should be,,,up it just about 1/4 oz and spray the fuck out the rest. You don't want to overdo neem to much. It is an oil, and doesn't dissipate very fast,,, and repeated coats can turn your leaves brittle and clog all the Stomates. Plants need three things, food light and CO2. clog the stomates and your cutting it air off. Neem is a gardeners friend for sure. For spider mites I use azamax, which is made from neem.

All this talk and here I got problems. I don't see a bug one on the plants in my nursery,, which btw I had to switch over to the HID light,, I got too many plant in that tent. So they moving on up. I have a mess of clones that I was going to give away,, but I kind of don't want to now. I know I can kill the bugs on the cuts,,, but what about the damn soil. And I don't want these things going out of here..... Least till I grow out one and see that it's ok.

Speaking of the dirt...

Hell ya, I'm going to dust the suckers with the DE. I ordered a sprayer or should I say a '''''''duster''''''.. I plan on hitting the soil really good,, turn it into the top 1/2" and coat it again. Then dust the cuts like it's sevin dust on roses.......


Have used that word 'duster''since way back.. Dummy Dust,,, tried that acouple times and always kicked myself in the ass 10 minutes after saying why did you do that you stupid MFer............ Living in a step van parked in the Bay Street parking lot on Santa Monica Beach, I spent afew summers there .. Not in the van,, cops towed it off after about 4 months. It was a cool van,, little cook stove, toliet and put a water bed in it..... Went in the front door of Santa Monica High School... Seen lines 10 miles long everywhere,, said fuck it,, went to the beach, next day same lines so did the same thing, even went the third day and still lines,, I had planned on telling my teachers I was in line to see a consular is why I was a no-show but I didn't bother with the school on the fourth one,, went straight to the beach. And straight to the beach from then on out........ I did get my GED,,, I was in the first class at the Sacramento County Jail to get them. They even had me tutoring dudes for the test. I did go alittle to a continuation school,,, pick up that weeks work and leave type classes. Test once a week.. Well, thats more typing than I've done in this whole journal.. I'm outta here..............
