:lot-o-toke::reading420magazine:
 
hey joe just stopped by to take a look at those extremely healthy plants of yours they look great im happy to have another great journal to read and learn from and thanks for all the input on my thread the different technique it will be put to good use and i will be keeping every one updated
 
Hey thanks A1. So last night before the lights went out I found a lone ladybug in my garden hmm.
 
lady bugs are actually really good to have around they eat spider mites and other bad insects and i dont believe they will eat your plants
i have read of people actually buying them and releasing them in a bug infested grow room to help the problems also its most likely way better than using spray pesticides right???
 
Of course. I dont use anything harmful on my lovelies. I use neem oil or make my own out of household items. I have recipes in my blog. I dont usually encounter bugs much anymore.
 
i see the ladybug as good luck if it were any other type of bug you would have been pissed
i also bought neem oil when i bought my 1st bottles of nutes just in case and i used in one time as a preventative but the shit stinks like something else and i wont be using it again unless i see pest problems
 
If you use soap water it dries the bugs out from the inside and they die. I do like ladybugs but indoors that could pose a problem to have those little guys flying around everywhere

Am glad spring is here, if I see a Ladybug, she goes straight into the tent. I have 4 or 5 in there right & they are just loving it. Haven't had any pest issues, but at least it is warmer in the tent than outside for them right now.
 
Thanks!. You took the time to read it all? Did you learn anything?
 
Joe, your thread is one of my new favorites. It's easy on the read, not too much hoopla, & very informative. You may have not realized that by my few post but if there's nothing to add, why add? This thread packs a lot of knowledge in each punch. Just keep doing what your doing. For those of us that do follow you we appreciate the no frills (nearly every post is grow related) slow paced atmosphere here.

:nicethread:
 
Alright thank you I appreciate it. I just came from your journal left you a post. I may up the knowledge on here even further but I dont want to overwhelm anyone . Thank you for your kind words. I may start posting in the forums as well instead of in my journal and others journals. I try not to pad my post count and try to make things as clear as possible for everyone involved. Thanks again

What many folks are seeing right now are actually a non native invader. They are not lady bugs as we know them but imported Asian lady beetles. They still are beneficial but in alot of areas they are quickly becoming a nusiance. they swarm in the spring and fall because they actually hibernate over the winter. They are attracted to light colored siding in my experience especially cream or yellow. They over winter in rocks or crevices in your home's siding. If you find them in the winter even in below zero temps they are clumped together and alive. They were imported in response to pests in fruit and nut orchards but are now an example of an organic control method run amok in some areas. They exude a very strong sour odor from their legs and if you grab one you can smell it often for quite awhile on your fingers. We have been fighting them since the 90's in the southern midwest. I have seen thousands of them crawl in through small cracks and crevices into homes. If they are on your siding you can was=h them off with a hose and hope that they re-swarm somewhere else. Inside your home the vaccum is your best bet. You will notice that they are various shades of orange with a differnet arrangement of sopts than our normal redder american lady bug. Just thought I'd pass it on
 
Thanks for sharing :) Glad to see you online.
 
4/20 is 17 days away and I have no ganja,mahoot,daga,dagon,bud,kind,reefer and so I decided I am going to harvest a tiny bit to be ready by 4/20 so what I would like to know from you all is should I harvest 1 whole smaller plant or a few nugs from a smaller plant or harvest a larger plant? When do you feel I should harvest it so it will be dry for 4/20. I have a idea of when I would like to but I value all of your opinions and so I figured I would throw the question to you. Also coming soon I am going to start adding pictures of the tricomes in addition to the regular photos. So let me know what you think and I will be back to check it out. Thanks
 
Honestly Joe if it were me (and it often has been me), my route has always been to let the plant go as long as possible to pull "samples" and quick dry them in an appropriate way. In other words, I think if you wait lets say 15 days, then take some lower buds and dry them for two days for 420. I think this gives a better high, than picking unripe buds and hoping to cure them out into something better. That has always been my approach unless I am harvesting the whole plant and doing a proper cure. But when I want to get high for a specific event or day and I have nothing ready I always do it this way. In 15 days you will see some significant tric develpment vs pulling them now.

Some may disagree but I love to pull me an early sample here and there!
Take care!
Bob ;)
 
Glad you noticed. You are the only one. I got my one after this planned for when I do a screen name change. Yes I wasnt in no way going to pick them within the next week. But more like wait the 2 weeks as you suggested. That would put them at week 7 at that time.
