@Ferenc, they recommended what would work for my poor man set up in wetbug infested tropical condition. Vegging is going very well. I reserve my judgement until I see how the strains behave in flowering. Although I am very optimistic about @OriginalSensible Seeds. Their Bruce Banner Fast version is indomitable against mold and bugs with super potent buds. Indeed very sensible.

you should try spinosad for thrips (or spide mites but i think that's thrips you got there) @Med_in_Tropic could be sprayed up to two weeks before harvest

@HerbalEdu, life cycle is shorter with higher temp. Decay rate is also faster. My interval is 1 week. I don’t want to give “sublethal dose”. It would inly speed up hatching rate and build bugs immunity. So i do it fully or not at all. This time i plan 3 doses. The aged plant does not need it. Leaves hardened already. After spray spinetoram, plant smell lessen. No bugs = no immnunity response. I need to spray aspirin to stimulate terpene actions. @GYOweed thanks man, it is a good trick to increase potency..

@Med_in_Tropic, never heard of abamectin, but it's already really efficient without. i sprayed my plants with 15 day interval and it totally eradicated infestation in all of my tent with first apllication and i haven't seen remaining living insect or new hatch when i sprayed the second time. spinoteram is a derivative of spinosad on the dow's exalt notice it say you can use it up to 3 day before harvest and it's certified for the food industries https://www.certiseurope.fr/fileadmin/FR/Telechargements/Fiches_etiquettes/Exalt_-_Fiche_Etiquette.pdf my spinosad notice have details for many vegetable, it's like trees (apple, pear etc.) 2 weeks before harvest, most underground plant like garlic, onion, potatoes etc. 15 days to 7 days before harvest and finally thing like strawberry, tomatoes and a few other 1-3 days before harvest i think you can safely use it 1-2 weeks before harvest with cannabis (prolly even shorter) edit: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17899400/ about abamectin it seem it help with some very resilient spider mites species

@Med_in_Tropic, yes immune boosters will drown them in sap. Of course wind and sun will help since you cant control humidity. Id hookup a solar fan and blow away those little bugs or get lady bugs and hover flies they pickem off the plants its cool watching them in summer here

I see you give yogurt... is it for bacteria?

Med_in_Tropiccommented4 years ago

Yes @sativaman, i meant dripping resin. In my climate it is wet and sticky in stead of hard as rock. I calculate N content in yogurt. And it is better if you adjust ratio to 1 part yogurt to 20 part water. N is roughly 1/3rd x protein content. I gave too much yogurt and it made leaves curl. For me i don’t care since it was the last feeding. If you want to do it earlier, 50 ml yogurt to 1 liter water would be better.

Thanks @Med_in_Tropic. I have been learning about LAB (and other KNF stuff since deficiencies while growing A5 Haze) but did not thought about yogurt!! By too wet to soon are you talking about resin and oil? Might be good for my 25% humidity tent!

Med_in_Tropiccommented4 years ago

@sativaman, i always give yogurt ti last feeding. Yogurt bacteria make buds more potent. Key word to search is “LAB increase terpene” But i gave only one or two times otherwise buds get too wet too soon in hot climate.

@sativaman, she likes it hot. 😀😀😀😃 In theory, I can grow year round but buds will be to small wheat it get too hot. Buds rot when it’s too wet. This is actually the coolest and driest it would ever get around here. Probably my best harvest from in the next couple of months.

How I'm not following you??? what a galactic idiot I am... I thought I was following,sorry man. This GDB, Original Sensible Seeds offered me some promotion seeds months ago,this was one of them but clip pack came empty :D

@HighRoller909, cheers mate 😀😀😀😀😀 I am flattered. GDB performance remain to be seen. I am worrying about the Grand daddy purple genetic. GDP has notorious tendency to hermaphrodite. If these are okay, then OSS truly did a very good job.

Oh yes @sativaman, much more buds Tha I can handle 😀😀😀😀😀. I don’t smoke that much. (Yet I have high tolerance) And I even have plants that are not in my diaries. Off season buds goes to edible. Keep growing brother.

Geez its pumping along mate. Mine are never that size at 2 weeks.,, good prep for the outdoor conditions

@Shooey, only the strong survive my set up 😀😀😀😀. Put seedling in fertilized soil full of microbe kills a few plants. But the survivors are usually more vigorous. Some Time there is no survivor at all. First grow, I don’t care for number of plants. And I only use the strongest specimen. Then if things work out, I clone. It takes more time and space. At the moment, I am keeping three strains. Think that is my limit. To stay, a new strain will kick out one old strain.

@Med_in_Tropic, this sounds like the panama,just other way around,it was a sativa.effects to come slow,hit you very deep and last until next night.I blended panama with auto girl scout cookies which was shit but the combination was very heavy.I think I chopped the panama 2 weeks early and it was very hot towards the end,lost some potency.but it was still very good that everyone liked it. Those seeds from Original Sensible was trials.They offered to send me some free ones to grow.I'm not complaining at all.Other 3 packs have seeds so I may give them a go.I'm just sticking with ACE nowadays as I find their strains amazing,truly amazing.At week 11 of flowering actually,I see huge colas and great aromas when I enter the room. :)

@HighRoller909, effect was slow to come. I guess that this is typical of pure Indica. I lit one up in an evening and it didn't quite hit me. So, i lit up another one. Then i got high enough. But not only the effect last all night, it extended to better part of the next day. Had a very nice day 😀😀😀😀 I ended up blending Zamaldelica and Granddy Black together in my smoke. Make it more balance. About getting empty packages, I hear you. Some thing wrong with the people organization. I had missing shipment before. Not quite the same but it still sucks. And there are other seeds companies with similarly modified GDP strains.

any difference beside taste when smoking decarb flower?

Med_in_Tropiccommented4 years ago

@sativaman, de-carbed is much stronger. I think smoking alone doesn’t get full THC conversion. Smoking de-carbed get nearly 100% conversion. These are not de-carbed. They are crispy and yellow for two reasons. I hung them outside the under heavily shaded cinnamon tree. Still, the light kills green color. I think it speed up curing. Smell still sweet and strong to me. Second, i cooked the dried buds in microwave for a couple of minutes. I want to kill mold spores. After airing out the stem buds are over dried and heat burnt on the edges. Still smeloing sweet and fruity. And they do still improve after a couple of weeks in the jar. Good eyes!

HerbalEducommentedweek 154 years ago

i really hope it help keep thing under control, you should see the result pretty fast, thrips white dot on leaf should stop spreading right after first time spraying

@HerbalEdu, again thanks for your recommendation. Spinetoram seemed to be working on cannabis. It knocked mealy bugs out but on my hibiscus. It doesn’t quite eradicated mealt buga yet. So, two rounds per instruction.
