SweetSue's Perpetual 3.0 - The Hempy/HB Hybrid Grow

The thrips might not be pretty, but they're not going to set anyone back enough to swoop in and fight them off.

Shame they appear to cost more than their weight in gold:
Minute Pirate Bug, Orius (1000ct) | Planet Natural
Thrips Predator (50,000ct) – Free Shipping | Planet Natural
Buy Ladybugs Online - Free 2-Day Shipping | Planet Natural
Green Lacewing Eggs for Sale | Planet Natural

I'm curious: Are you planning to mail yourself a dozen assorted clones while you are in Californiatown?
 
I'd think that it would be approximately 24,756,838,279,002 times easier to mail the things home than to find an orifice that the TSA molesters won't probe. The day those c*nts became a reality was the day that the terrorists achieved one of their three stated goals (destroying our way of life). Such things make me miss ol' Ronnie, lol. He wasn't really my kind of people. But half the world thought he was just a bit nutter. When the French - being French - refused to allow our bombers permission to fly over their airspace and then one of them accidentally bombed the French embassy in Libya, lmfao, it probably helped. . . .

Clones almost invariably come with mites. I only accept them from gardens I know to be clean, so purchasing some is out of the question.

The thrips can have their limited day in my garden. As each plant comes down the area gets scrubbed clean and the plants themselves become food or very cold buds.

Hmmm... I could ferment some....not enough time. Drat! Lol! There'll be many more opportunities to ferment cannabis. :battingeyelashes:

Are you saying she will be getting on the plane with a nice bouquet of flowers?

There's a pretty picture. Had me thinking of these luscious flowers grown under my first Timber light, the Vero 240 I won in the first MOTY contest. :battingeyelashes:


As a result of that contest win Dan and I became acquainted. You have no idea how excited I am to get to meet him in person. I really hope I get to meet the crew that puts together my lights. It’d be nice to thank them in person.

Every time I fly it makes me smile to think how one deranged man out of an entire planet of travelers failed at taking down a plane by setting his explosive shoes ablaze, and as a result of this dismal failure we all must strip down before being allowed access to the gates. :rofl:

Ok... it makes me laugh outright. :rofl:

That's why you hose them off really well upon acceptance. Or, if you're paranoid (like someone I know ;) ), you hose them off with the kitchen sink sprayer or shower set on psycho, shake the excess water off, completely drench them and their little rootballs with Safer's, stand there for a couple minutes, then hose them off with the water blast again. I guess I'm pretty much a screw-up at... whatever I do these days, but I don't think I've brought mites in on a cutting since, IDK, the early '90s. I've killed a few with heavy-handed anti-pest methods, but that's why you ask for three of each, lol. Although I hear out west there people actually charge(!) for rooted cuttings of their cannabis plants, the mercenary <BLEEPS>.

I only accept them from gardens I know to be clean, so purchasing some is out of the question.

You probably don't want to hear about hemp russet mites, then. Tiny little sh!ts make "regular" spider mites look like giants, so they're pretty hard to detect. I've read that they can "overwinter" on freakin' seeds. I gather they were pretty fierce in CA a couple years ago, and have sense spread to at least as far east as Montana. But with all the seed-sharing and domestic dispensaries/seedbanks/etc. now, I wouldn't be surprised if they were in at least some cannabis grows in all 50 states (or at least the contiguous 48). It would explain quite a few of those "pH good, nutrients good, no visible pests - but plants BAD" threads I've seen in the past couple

The thrips can have their limited day in my garden.

I probably disturbed 10,000 of those whilst mowing today. I'm really starting to hate "organics," :rolleyes: . Wish my little quarter-acre was covered to a depth of three or four feet in pea gravel.

You mean he's a real guy and not some compilation of rotating Chinese forum reps, lol? Cool, that's worth a couple of bonus points right there, that is.

You forgetting about the ones that succeeded?

The deranged man that caused the... mess was little Bush, methinks. (Never trust a "reformed" c0ke-head. Especially when he gets to be President and his very FIRST act as President... is to order himself a brand spanking new, unblemished TX driver's license, complete with new number (which no one else has managed to accomplish, to date) so that there is no longer a record attached.)

I was just telling someone the other day that I'm not much for garden-variety conspiracy theories. But I'd been reading for several years that some folks were looking for a way to create an... agency much like the one that controls the tea ess ay, when that particular September day came to pass. Later reports that his nibs had received concrete information that those attacks were being planned, had been scheduled... and were in progress, well, I wasn't the least bit surprised. If I'm looking for a reason to go buy an item off Taco Bell's dollar menu, I might conveniently forget that I still have half a handful of sporks left. I guess if you happen to be the ruler of a large, industrialized nation, well... My local Taco Bell usually has 50 or more sporks in the bin, so grabbing a few when I spend my dollar is no big thing. If you've got final responsibility for 300 million people, well, maybe 3,000 (not counting the very many deaths that have occurred on both sides since that date, of course) of them are, you know, like a few sporks?

That reminds me, I haven't had Mas Burritos Poisente for at least a month. Next time I get some work, I'm splurging on a bean burrito. None of that dollar crap this time!
 
And don't forget the underwear bomber, too. I really feel bad for that fella, right? Apparently, it was a dud - no explosion, just, ahem ... a lot of sputtering and fizzing. Gulp.

I always wondered if anyone somewhere far from here laughed about it. :hmmmm:

Good morning everyone :Love:

Hash Hound got some unexpected news from his doctor the other day that included dreaded spots on necessary organs, so he’s going in for testing for a more complete diagnosis. He’s asked for our prayers of support.

I reminded him that we know a thing or two about using cannabis as more than something to smoke and that we’d all be with him in spirit. Let’s hold him close in our hearts for the next week. He has a White Widow to harvest in a couple weeks, so there’s incentive to keep moving forward as well as a willingness to go where the cosmos directs without fear and trepidation.

I’ll keep you all updated as I hear.

See....this is what we do so well in our virtual neighborhood, we hold each other close in our hearts and minds, and in doing so we strengthen each other with the combined loving energy.

We’re all terminal creatures looking for a soft exit. I’m going to assume this is but a hiccup in Hash Hound’s life that will guide him to a deeper understanding of the true healing power we all possess, held back only by our limited thought. Prayers are his request. He’s going silent on the site until he feels he’s on firmer emotional footing and on a healing path.

He can go silent here but I have his number, and you can be sure I’ll be keeping in closer touch. :battingeyelashes:
 
Hash Hound has had a rough patch here recently. My best wishes for him. I'll certainly add him to my prayer list.

As a result of that contest win Dan and I became acquainted. You have no idea how excited I am to get to meet him in person. I really hope I get to meet the crew that puts together my lights. It’d be nice to thank them in person.
Say hello for me too. I was shocked to see how well my light was packaged and when I called about the daisy chain thing, they immediately mailed a patch cord to me. Great service. :bongrip:

I'll be sure to do that Jim. He'll be picking me up early on the 17th so we can get some time in before the meet and greet. I'm so excited to meet another group of members I can barely contain it.

I think I'll join you with a couple hoots. My fast isn't over until 11, so my brownie dose is on hold until then. Lol! :bongrip:
 
I don’t know about getting on the plane, but I guarantee she will have a nice bouquet of flowers very shortly after getting off the plane in San Diego. :D

:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

Do you have any idea how delicious it feels to know I'm not going to be without for the entire trip and yet I don't have to sneak any past security or pluck down too much money for something you grow better Doob? When I get to Phoenix Chris Scorpio has cobs waiting for me to test. :yahoo::yahoo:

This is every bit as wonderful as my Jamaican trip. I'm still in disbelief that I missed Graytail by a year. Drat! That's ok, I'll be in his neck of the woods someday too. :battingeyelashes:

I can't wait to see your garden Doob. This'll be the first time I've visited someone else's garden. Members alway come to my place. Lol!
 
Lol, I’m excited too. I’ve never shown my garden to anyone who knows what they are doing. I feel kind of like Santa is coming over to checkout my tree and bake some cookies. ;)

One of the reasons I hate traveling is lack of access to herbs. I also do know that feeling of not having to worry, one of the reasons I love traveling. o_O That’s why I’m so happy to be able to repay the universe or whatever. :D
 
HH, IDK if my "positive energy" accounts above nil in the universe, but I'm directing it towards you just the same.

Sue, please tell Dan that his main web page's white text on a partially white (whitish?) vertical board fence background makes that bit all but impossible to read, at least for the visually... challenged. All my other comments got forgotten when I decided that he must be assembling the products in a Very Special Place - and, therefore, must have to charge people for freight from Enceladus (or another of Saturn's moons :rolleyes: ) , and I should probably keep them to myself so as not to p!ss off a sponsor, lol. But definitely let him know that the top part of his opening page is a [/FAIL] in terms of contrast/readability. But I'm obviously not a member of his target audience; those who consistently make $100,000/year (or even a quarter of that) probably have employees to read things to them ;) .

Have you given your daughter a homework assignment for while you are away? Like... "Here's a list of strains on hand. Go read about all of them and pick one," lol? Might be interesting to find out whether or not something out of your Great List catches her eye (and, if so, what it would be).

Then again, this might have already occurred, IDK.

She and I were talking chemovars yesterday, as a matter of fact. :battingeyelashes: We were laughing that there just isn’t enough room to grow enough cannabis to keep both of us happy.

The seed bank is like a :420: community property. We have the chemovars we want for ourselves. She’ll grow Candy Cane for brownies, Chem Dawg for sleep meds, and Jamaican for vaping. I’ll grow Carnival for brownies, Carnival for smoking and cobbing, Dark Devil for cobbing and smoking and the CBD Critical Cure we both use.

Then we decide on extras, like White Widow for the BIL, Zamaldelica and other ACE sativas for cobbing, an occasional Thin Mint GSC for the brownies , Columbian Gold for......well for me. :battingeyelashes:

I’ll be sure to mention the graphic readability concerns to Dan. Having never received a package from the company you have no idea the care they put into making sure your purchase reaches you in the condition they intended. Their shipping cost is worth it, IMHO.

Oh... yeah... right. I must have had something heavy fall on the ol' noggin during my most recent nap or something. I forgot who I was conversing with, LOL. You've got the cannabis extension of the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens there in your apartment.

I haven't a clue about the shipping cost, and was just being snarky about the rather extreme prices. Probably perfectly acceptable for people who look at things like this as just a business expense, and who can just charge someone $80 to $120 per quarter-ounce for their merchandise. For those who grow out of some ever-shrinking hope that they'll find something that'll work for medicine for themselves and other people, and who do not SELL, not so much. Well, no, not snarky - I self-censored myself quite a bit when typing my comments in. I'm just about completely turned off LED grow lighting - which sucks, because I've got one hanging over my head right now (so to speak). Maybe that's why I've been having so much trouble in getting any seedlings to actually break ground recently (something that used to happen if I so much as tossed a seed out the window and forgot about it). Black clouds of doom and all that, you know. Got one LED that is (or was) actually considered a powerhouse, but it nearly gives me a hernia when I have to hang the thing (and trying to remove it one-handed when it had plants under it left me useless for the rest of the day - and it's another one of those "better sell your Ferrari for the down payment"-class products. Got another one that appears to be just about, almost, sort of, on a good day, if that day happens to involve a freak windstorm removing half your roof so that sunlight can get in there... adequate for the square footage that the rep repeatedly assured me it would be fine for. Err... for vegetative-growth use :rolleyes: . But it's a blurple that could benefit from some relatively low color temperature CFLs(!) to fix its spectrum, IMHO - so why not just use the little curly bulbs in the first place? And its fans are anemic.

I had hopes when I saw that the 8BK seed had extended a root tip so quickly (55 hours or thereabouts? Quicker than when a week goes by and I don't see anything, at least), but it must have used all its energy on opening the seed case, then expired. If I could find my old cannabis seed emory board, I'd be scuffing the blazes out of every seed I drop these days, in hopes that something would change. First I thought, "Well, it's too cold here, with 55°F being a rare event - and maybe my oven's pilot light is actually too warm." But, recently, it has been in the low-mid 80s in here, so IDFK. But you don't need to "hear" me whining about my issues. I'm just having a bad day. About ruined myself, physically, yesterday and between that & ol' uncle Arthur visiting (damp/rainy today), well... I'd probably turn down sex with a hot, mute, Mona Lisa with a Machine Gun right now. Let alone something with such a low effort:reward ratio as making my way down to the kitchen and trying to fix something(???) to eat.

My laptop ought to have some kind of safety interlock mechanism for days like this. IDK... Maybe boot up with some kind of idyllic landscape picture, with sunshine, fluffy clouds - and refuse to proceed if I take one look at it and put my fist (when I can even make one reliably) through the screen. But then my post count would probably be somewhere around twelve, IDFK.
 
HARVEST: Candy Cane 4 (Day 128, flip + 66)

She looked so different from the previous Candy Canes that I had a moment of doubt just yesterday, but the apartment is now filled with the undeniable smells of the daughter's favorite chemovar. The pretty pictures tell the story. :battingeyelashes:















She's an easy grow, and always comes in covered to capacity with essential oil compartments. The daughter tells me this is her Kush. :rofl: I estimate approximately 1.5 ounces, enough to make her five pans of brownies, that'll last 10 weeks. It'll be another month before get the next seed started, so it's good we have Black D.O.G. coming up behind to take the heat off.

A ten week supply says we either need to grow them to bigger yields or put one into flower every month. I'd like to see us get up to a three ounce consistency. More fine-tuning is ahead.

It is such a challenge to stay ahead of demand. :battingeyelashes: :green_heart:
