Nuggs Update-
Talked to Nuggs just a bit ago to see if he still needs me to come up to help him out on his greenhouse film. He told me no, that he was still fighting his Thrips issues, but now he thinks it's either broad mites or Russett mites (not sure if that's the correct name)? He wants to thank TWS for pointing him in that direction. He said TWS went from farmer to Master gardener in his eyes. Lets hope he can win this battle.

Nice to hear the compliment , still not an OG though . lol Man I have had just about every bug you can in some sort of fashion. Never Broad mites though. They make reqular mites seem like a cake walk.

I hope that's not what he has. Thrips are pretty easy to cure and the signs of them show leaf trails and they are a white long bug, tiny of course...

Russet or Broad mites effect only new growth and bud sites. The are nearly microscopic and tend to stay in new shoots and at the junction of branch to stem . They will show under developing flowers, dead pistils and curled new leaf growth.

They are new pest problem going around. IC mag has a great thread on them.

Im sorry to say that they are quite devastating and need a heavy mitacide to cure.

That's a cool leaf Never seen that before. Your SSH looks great. Smell ? I have a couple packs of F-5's SSH I would like to get to. I grew it once before from clone. Loved the smell and flower but was a finicky feeder and conasuer type yield.

Russest mites hit the ranch I was living on last year bad. Pretty much everyone on Rancho got effected in some way. We got lucky but my buddies used some type of sulfur to get rid of them.

Smell is sweet and.....hazy lol. Hard to explain because it is so unique. Yield was low. And terrible bag appeal. Definitely a strain to be grown by somebody who appreciates a classic sativa dominant strain. I would like to grow critical ssh one day. I had a pheno that had dense frosty sticky buds. Looked like a poster bud for cssh. After all these sativas I want to run some kushes again. And maybe some gdp's again.
