Did one foliar spray this week, with the same goodies I've been using so far, pressed sea weed, beauveria bassiana, humic acid, fish mix and neem oil. I've been distributing branches through the net to optimise sun exposure and cutting away a lot of the lower stuff and smaller stuff inside the plant, that is not going to make it to a good position in the sun.

White hairs are popping up here and there, so it's likely this will count as the last week of vegetation.
The trickiest part of growing in this area is avoiding the buds being eaten by caterpillars. Hopefully by next week I will have covered the whole bed with an anti insect net to try to prevent butterflies and moths deposit their eggs inside the young buds.
growth report in veg
- O n M, grows fast and bushy. I have a very thin leaved pheno. It's probably the biggest plant out of these four when it comes to leaf surface area.
- SJC, very nice structured plant, even (medium) leaf size, grows how I like it to grow without any training, it just fills up any spot where there's light available.
- GDD, Stalky plant that want's to grow up rather than branch out. Not very many side branches, thick stems, HUGE leaves. Beautiful and sturdy plants, but less bud sites.
- SSSSC, The tallest one out of these four, grows up a lot but also branches out well. Medium and big leaves.
Sieht super aus ich finde conoisseur genetics macht super genetic hatte noch nie solche Pflanzen die so schnell wachsen selbst die Mr. Nice Samen gehen nicht so ab viel Glรผck
Looks like you'll have some solid colas. Best of luck with the finish!
Btw- I've had good luck with using natural biotoxins to mitigate the issues with caterpillars. The moths will still lay the eggs but the larvae won't be able to eat the vegetation and quickly die before ravaging your plant.
@909grower, Mpoving forward, if you plant some species that those particular caterpillars/ moths target, nerby your crop, then those "dummy" plant5s will take the hit and not your ganja. I've found cruciferouse vegetables are much more desireable for these moths in my climate.
@909grower, I typically use a Thuricide concentrate. Was inroduced to me by my father-in-law, who's a former Agriculture professor, as an organic alterative to pest sprays for my vegetables. It's not toxic to humans and easily washes off. I wouldn't spray the flowers but most definitely good for the leaves. The thuricide prevents the larvae from being able to digest whatever they consume, and they eventually die of starvation soon after emerging from their eggs.
Nice job, plants look great. I have to mine in pots, would love to use a trellis. I still managed to do ok. Yes different strains show bud at different times. I think mine are starting the stretch. Well good luck
