Week 14 - July 30
Last vegetation weeks. On 4 plants: 2 healthy / 2 injured.
Royal Moby and GMOxZombieK were seriously contaminated with aphids. To stop the propagation I did many washes with black soap and neem oil but may be I treated at the wrong time: morning, even soon; is too late by a hot sunny summer day. I think the 2 plants are suffering from sunburn… and they still have aphids…
I stopped soap treatments and try another recipe which seems working very good against aphids and revitalizing all plants: spraying Garlic + Laurel
-I cooked separately during 1h garlic (5 cloves) and Lauren leaves (12) in approximately 1L of water
-filtered the preparations and wait 4 days
-for 1L of water to spray: 15cl garlic mixture + 5 cl laurel BEWARE: checking Ph… last year I burned plants with garlic + chili mixture: it was catastrophic.
Brake Pad Breath and Flash Back are beautiful and healthy. Aphids aren’t interested by this 2 plants.
I did preventive treatments Neem oil and soap but not so much. Good reaction to the Garlic+Laurel.
Plants are bushy, densely ramified. Deep green color, the female sexual signs are visible.
Ready for flowering.
Watering with a little bit of nutrients 1.5L/plants each 2 or 3 days
Defoliation
Now I quit the “garden” for 7 days…traveling to Amsterdam (NL) and Prague (CZ) for holidays.
I installed automatic watering systems (Blumat) and sticky traps, locked the veranda, programmed the Ventilation and crossed fingers.
I’m not afraid about heat or dry…. More about pests and diseases….and rubbery too cause I have 6 auto flowering quasi ready.
I’m writing this in Prague, returning in my country to the west side in 2 days.
After smoking lot of joints in Amsterdam (3 days)
Amnesia haze
Tangerine dream
Kush Mints
Super Lemon Haze
Dynamite cookie
Intergalactic toad
Super Silver Haze
In Prague Weed (THC) is prohibited. But I discovered that you can buy pre roll joints (100% pure hemp-Thc-sativa, hybrid etc…) in strange gifts shops for 6€. It’s really not the best weed but it’s Strong and easygoing.
Had some great results with Ripper Seeds Zombie Kush (and KMintz this year) They handle the heat really well :)
Good luck with the grow - it's looking great :)
I just salvaged a Papaya Zoap auto a couple of hours ago that was covered in aphids - got real lucky it hasn't spread to the rest of the grow. I would spray them all with neem oil, but they all flowering and right near the end. Not sure it's a good idea at this stage?
Nice to see another outdoor grow :) Good luck with the grow - and those pesky aphids!
