Tead's Indoor-ish, Winter, Hempy, OGK, SOG

The dog luvs anyone willing to toss the round bouncy thing (we dare not utter the word).... but friendly folks get licks too!

Here are some BDs a few days ahead of yours.....

Tead thinks he has a leg up on ya..... these were planted days apart.... yes?
The larger one is really pushing the limits of my tiny veg tent. She's gonna have to move into bloom sometime this week or early next.
 
A quick tale of failure....
Had a seed from a DDA probably juiced by a UD. Put together a double height tube to grow her in. Put in WAY too much Osmo. She grew... but looked horrible all along. She got nuked a bit by the cold snap. I kept her going simply because she wasn't really consuming resources in my world.
Today, she's puttin on her buds. Not great, but Tead looks forward to the small sample she's putting up.

I didn't notice. Thanks. Tead really appreciates pointers to subjects of interest.
The unit next door has been absorbing my energy. Repairs turned into much more work. Paint from head to toe. Even crazy things like removing the corrosion caused by acidic food on a copper kitchen backsplash. The damage was enormous... much more than previously observed and reported.
The garden rumbles along as normal. AC has been running for weeks now. There's an ongoing mite war happening, but I seem to be keeping their numbers down at least.
 
Man once you get them suckers it's hard to rid yourself of them. But you have to be able to spray everything at once and through the rotation. If you got a population going it's going to bite ya in the ass someday. But is no reason you couldn't be 100% mite free with 3-4 through sprayings. I use the azmax for a kill. Spray and even rub it into the tops, wait 2 days, spray again completely. Wait 3 more days and should be the end of them. Azmax is alittle different than neem. It's made from the same thing but different. It doesn't leave a THICK ASS OIL coating like neem does. But I like neem because it will repel them for afew days anyways. I like to use that as a final spray before flowering if mites have been around. But if everything is good,, I like that 'Green Cleaner' targets mites and pm. That leaves no residue, and cleases the leafs every so soft. Opens the stogma's. I just put acouple in the flower room and I tried this stuff they gave me from that contest. 86Mite&mold. Does it work???????? I don't know. Smells of peppermint oil. But is no mites or PM in my room as of now........ Or if it's not outta hand you could get destrory mites that fee on spider mites,, till they are gone then they leave. Alittle costy. I F'ed up the first time I got some. Thought I'd sprinkle tem on the leaf and ended up with sawdust in all my buds....... Well some. But they did come live and they eat like 5-6 mites a day apiece. And they breed just as fast. So small populations of mites it works.. I watch one of the suckers suck the life outta two spotted mite... That was fun................ But if you have alot of them,,, it's wasted monies. GL over there

You problay picking them up on the lawn outside. Animals are back to. They go rolling around pickin them suckers upand dropping them in you gardens. They poor suckers just wanna get stoned. Hell if so I'll give them all the green leaf tey can suck dry.

To be brutally honest, it's kind of an interesting battle.
I've been watching things happen as I apply various things.
At this exact moment, the adults have been nuked, but a round of eggs still keep popping.
Like I said, it's just kinda fun to watch and nerd out about. I think I must be somehow mentally damaged.
One of these days, Tead will get serious and drag his lazy ass out there with some determination rather than playing with such a dangerous herd.
 
I read somewhere a while back about mixing water and 70% isopropyl alcohol 50/50 to get a 35% alcohol mixture and spraying with that. It's supposed to dry out the bugs and not damage the plant or leave harmful residue.

Luckily I've never had to fight the critters so YMMV, just something I had filed in the grey folds for reference. ;)
 
If your going to spray with something,,, make sure you follow the routine or you can be making resistance in the mites. If you don't kill the egg hatch,,, and you just thinned the herd is all.. I've had them suckers MORE than once. Lost crops. Pulled plants that were flower to be able to spray everything. spray wait 2 days spray again wait 3 days spray again.. And that 'should do it.

The Green Cleaner has alittle alcohol in it. I like it for PM but it works on mites too.

GL my friend. Keepem Green
 
It's been a while.... let's do a roundup in the sun.

First, I'll get your attention with 2 different Ox ladies racing in identical worlds.... one in 6L PVC tube, and one in a 10 Qt red bucket. One can observe older spider mite damage as well as some rust spots from when I ran out of calmag.

Fine attention grabbers eh?

Here's a shot of the Ox ladies from the bloom room. 2 deep in bloom, one just starting.

Clones that didn't make it into the veg room for space reasons sometimes find their way into the snow garden.

The snow saves me from some of the slugs... but sometimes they can show up after a good rain.

I dig how when you’re out of room you just toss them into the “snow”. I wish my yard allowed that, well it kind of does, I wish I was bold enough to do it. I hate killing perfectly good clones (so much so that I don’t do it and everything else suffers).

Man, you sure do rock the osmo, everytime I come here I look over (because I’m so lazy it’s literally sitting on my nightstand) at my 2 lbs of Osmo and tell it “soon”.

:passitleft: Thanks Doob. He does rock the Osmo. I didn't have that luck, but I didn't try long enough. Those RX nutrients came in and I never looked back.

Looks like you got two different chemovars from the bag seeds Tead. They're coming along nicely. We have no earthly way of determining what they are. Lol!

The Ox girls look hearty. How much longer? I tried to let my Dinachem go longer to get more amber trichomes, but I just couldn't do it. I got a few, though. :battingeyelashes:
 
The smaller 6L PVC tube Ox went down yesterday. The larger one was a few weeks behind because of increased veg time, but she's really starting to shape up beautifully.
The harvested Ox is destined for some fermentation testing.

DrDoob touches on timing issues really. If you give the machine too much gas, the carb fouls and the plants grow worse. Getting the flow of clones and seeds on the input side just right is key. Growing and jettisoning extra clones is a great way to keep the gas tank filled to the top.
In my little garden, the correct SoG configuration seems to be about 12 plants in veg and 9 in bloom. If you get it just right, the whole machine just flows smoothly with plants moving from one position to the next as their natural timing plays out in step with the moves.
When it works right, it's a thing of beauty as a whole. Grow issues can kink up the flow pretty good, but if one deals with them quickly and effectively, one can avoid a major scheduling faux-pas.
 
You know, BB got me thinking the other day with his shelf of DDAs in 3-gallon pots. He pulls about 20 zips out of that shelf laden with purple goodness.

I think it’s time to rethink my techniques and try something radical. I’m about done with soil, I think, which leaves me with a big mess of kit supplies.

Hmmmm.....I have a neighbor about my daughter’s age running a grow of her own right around the corner. She might be interested in playing with the kit.

When I come back from San Diego I’ll be starting again. I’m looking at all these seeds Rifleman gifted me and thinking about a continuous wave of autos.

My problem is keeping them small enough. Lol! I really like the looks of your PVC pipe pots. I may grab a section this week and give it a try. What size are you using again? It’s 6”, correct?
 
It just occured to me to try a plant in a coco hempy with Doc's kit. What do you think Tead? Worth a try, at least. I'll have to ask some questions, get some guidance, but not from Doc just yet. I exasperate him enough already. Lol!
 
@SweetSue I have 3 DDA, and 2 SSDC in 2qt hempys, and a Mephisto Sour Crack in a larger one. Depending on yield I might retire my buckets, this is too easy so far. :laugh: Oh yeah, they are all under one 60w COB. :hmmmm: Eight COBs x 6 plants each, 48 plants x (y)oz each = ? Yep, I could have my own snow field one day. :rofl:
