Thank you lexort. I knew that'd bring a smile to your face. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us as a flowering beauty. You're good luck for my plants. Lol!

It's a good thing I post here. Otherwise I'd inflict untold carnage on my plants.

 

[Spookies]

OK, you may have spared her Spookies. I read your post, turned around and pulled the bottle out of the cupboard. At the very least, I can get her through one more drench, eh? Wait three days and repeat the spinosad shower. Do that for three straight applications, and I should have killed everything off.

I'll let her drip there while I apply the Energy drench I'm overdue on. Writers! ...... I'm still finding balance.

Yeah, let's be honest, when was the last time you saw me kill a plant when it wasn't absolutely necessary? I have a lot of bark, but I'm toothless, and the plants know it. Lol!

The brownie's on me. Carnival makes some hard-to-resist tastiness in this brownie mix.

Cool to watch Sue so thank you instead haha!

The brownie was delicious!!!

I fell so far behind I have to muti-quote

I've never had roots grow outside my soft pots into air, in fact the roots don't usually grow into the side of the pot because the sides dry as fast as the topsoil . The only time roots have grown into the fabric was when I kept pots on a constantly wet tray of perite and let the water level reach the pot. Even packed tight, I predict the roots will end inside the pots unless you over water.

My single experiment with 2 plants in the same pot was less yield than from 1 plant. Your results may vary.

It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. I'm planning to get them pretty snug. This is a quality over quantity project. We're looking for maximum medicinal value, which apparently may come from budscicles. Interesting prospect, isn't it? Makes Ziggy look even smarter.

I have used 2% neem oil in water with a soap surfactant and the plants loved the neem. Mixed fresh every other day, I did this for about a year and no no mites or damage from mites - although mites would reappear when I stopped spraying. Neem oil in water loses it's potency after a few hours. - sorry If I am a broken record - I love the stuff


I'm not using neem oil now. My ladybugs (2) are staying in the room with just a stick coated in honey. They are getting sleepy this time of year.

I love the stick with honey trick. I may get some ladybugs in the spring and use this trick to keep a couple lingering.

I personally like the smell of neem. It strikes a deep chord in me. A little goes a long way though.

A grow journal is an excellent way to figure things out on the fly

We both did pretty well with ours, didn't we Rad?

 

[SweetSue]

I love popping seeds, so many possibilities!

(14) GrapeStomper OG x Bubba Jam
(16) Trapper Creek OG x FloScout
(14) Special OGK Haze x FloScout
(15) Cookie Killer x Blue Dream
(7) Cookie Killer x GDP
(1) UNKNOWN

Now THIS is a serious grow in the making. Where are you going to fit all of those when it's time to flower 36? Are these all regulars, or feminized?


..... I forgot, thank you so much for the LABS spray idea. Forgot that was a possibility. Excellent advice.

CBD Critical Cure (Day 46)

Ahhh...... my miracle child.

carn2:1 Emerald (Day 94)

A passing glance at the aloe.

I'm like a broken record... CBD Critical is true beauty... Plant of the Month to my eyes.

That carnical came back fast! She looks ready to grow buds now.


Thanks for the aloe picture... My aloe mom finally said goodbye after decades and at least 3 interstate moves.


This next picture reminded me of what I need to do to complete my grow areas - Hang the pretty stones

I like the smell of neem. I tasted it once and was not impressed


Every grow journal I do is an education. The first journal really boosted my confidence - which was great because the second one was a real heartbreak.

Doc Bud has stepped in with his guiding this current grow. I'm seeing positive results from higher temperatures and humidity in veg.

420 grow journals are a magical community. That in itself is great for our Endocannabinois System(s)

I'll come up with something before I fly out.

I was only gone for 1 feeding, but just left my minder some PH'd water to keep the girls going. Minor dip in plant growth, but well worth avoiding the idea of my 'minder' mixing nutes.

I personally like the smell of neem.

It's a strange unique kinda smell. I can see how it could hit various noses differently. To me, the odor doesn't fall on the 'pleasant' side of the line, but to each their own.

0 of 6 cannasseurs mentioned a difference in flavor

Wow Rad... scientific testing.... very nice. You just let me know when you need a lab rat. I've never tested the idea since the smell is so strong I just assumed.....
0 of 6.... science speaks louder than assumptions.

They are all regular seeds, I don't own any feminized seed. I imagine plenty of males and unwanted females, I'm pretty picky. I only kept 3 of 25 Cookie Killer plants to flower, after culling males and weaker plants. I kept 8 of 17 Cookie Killer x Blue Dream, but they haven't been sexed. In any case, what I keep of these along with the clones of currently flowering strains are designated for the 12x15 6k watt room. I have a few other places available as well.

12x15........ Oh......... What a glorious thought. Was that the new addition you were hoping to build? I could love a room like that, just bursting with flowering beauties. A whole ROOM dedicated to flowering. At some point in my future I'll have more space available. I've been considering the switch to regular seeds. I have the space to run them until sexing, if I do a little planning, and I have some nice regular seeds in my collection waiting for me to get there. I may hold off until I relocate to do that. While I'm still here, I'll focus on getting myself consistent with the kit, and figuring out how to get humidity and temps under control.

Good morning everyone.

Rolled my butt out of bed this morning right into long underwear and layers for a jaunt along the river in the bitter cold. Good God, it's good to be alive.

Who woke up this morning and proclaimed an exuberant intention to engage the universe in play? Show of hands now. This is powerful medicine my friends. Try to hear this message and make it a part of your morning routine. Your soul will awaken and dance with joy to be so boldly recognized and accommodated, and your ECS will kick start into action for the day ahead.

Join me in remembering we're here to play. Now get out there and share.

So I caught this insect on my plants, I already mentioned it on Spookies thread but those insects are pretty scary... Maybe you can't see it but at the end of his body he has a blueish tail... Now that's a stinger. Those freaky bastards can sting and when he does he kind of folds out his stinger in smaller hairs. So does anyone know what it is? They are not really big but easy to spot when they are on the plant. I only found 2 of them. Any advice would be thankful!

Rad's the one who typically runs the bugs down for us, so he may spot this one. An insect with that stinging capacity won't likely be a threat to the plants, IMHO, so I'm not sure you even need to be concerned with that. With cannabis you're most concerned with insects that'll compromise root growth or chlorophyll production. This one, whatever it is, doesn't look like it'd do either, but it sounds like an insect I want to keep from stinging me.

 

[SweetSue]

Haha well that's why I'm afraid... My girlfriend is on her period so a bulletproof vest is always neccesary but now she got Cannachocolate

I missed this the other day. Tell her for me that cannabis can level out those hormonal swings better than almost anything else. We don't consider often enough the value of a regular regimine of capsules made with a balanced ratio, or even one with a higher ratio of CBD. Our collective systems have been knocked out of whack by the policies of the corporations that direct food production on a planetary scale. This means it's highly unlikely our systems can create the cannabinoids needed to keep us healthy and strong, because we haven't loaded the cells with the proper raw ingredients.

Given the importance of CBD, which I'm beginning to understand is the real star player in the cannabis roster, it's kinda vital that we take steps to increase the availability of cannabinoids for our systems to come back into balance. If I knew what I know know, back when I was menstrating, I'd have worked up a regimine that eliminated the emotional war-zone that week becomes, instead of accepting that this is the way it always is, so just deal with it.

A healthy ECS doesn't allow those mood swings to take hold. Everyone reacts, but an individual with a healthy ECS laughs at the reaction and keeps going.

Well if it was an insect that is a harm for the plant then you guys probably already knew about it I guess anyway the thing that I don't want to be stung by something that has a blue stinger... Becausr bright colors usually means something bad

Coffee and milk is very bad combination. It helps with intestine cancer and I know that because of all the research in my state as we have the highest rate of that cancer. Nasty stuff. Destroys your liver and kidneys because it's hard for the body to properly process it, not to mention the adrenaline overdrive. Something to think about.


Nice bushy girls Sue! The organics can really shine.

Well you get pratically cancer from everything so I don't really feel different about coffee with milk. As long as it tastes good!
