Any of you have advice on size and brand and type of shade cloth? I need to do something until this heat and sun let up.




Cheers,

Anyone feel like the girls flowered a bit earlier than previous years?

Yes sir! I will be harvesting the Fireballs for sure by the end of this month.

 

[S'Manta]

Yes! Even my citrus tree is finishing up way earlier. The sativas will be very good this year

Since I'm inadvertently growing several Sativa's, why is the earlier flowering good? Is it because they will finish sooner?
Thanks in advance.

I am not normally a cruel person but I found a bud that I missed putting BT on and found this little mother trucker today.. I pulled the leaf off sprayed it with BT and I am watching it die
really, I just wanted to make sure i was mixing the BT correct and in fact it was killing the bud worms.. how can such a little worm do so much damage?

Yes and no....
Yes because I have a new strain in the garden, Marion Berry, that looks to be done in 4-5 weeks (about Oct 1st give or take).

No because couple of the strains in the garden I've grown before look further behind than last year except the Mad Purps, right on time. I remember last Sept 9th, we had thunder storms roll through here and I didn't have my Greenhouse film up yet and I thought I lost most of my O.G.'s. They all flopped over with the buds full of water. I know Sept. 9th this year is a week away, but the buds are not as far along on that O.G. as last year. The Grand Master is behind a bit to.
I started my harvest last year with the O.G. Kush's on Oct 13th, then the Grand Masters were next, the Mad Purps were next on Oct 27th, then the SR-71's were last. The trimming was done by Nov 10th.

So like I said, yes and no.

I think some strains for sure. My little og is getting big fat buds already.

@S'Manta - Sativa will do better with a long dry season so if you can get them to finish earlier you are more like;y to finish when it is hot and dry. I am old and frail after building this! It almost killed me.

@getawaymountain - Those seeds look like they were grown in perfect conditions! Can you please post those on the Sead Picture thread? There is a link in my signature.

@treemansbuds - Marion Berry is very sensitive - almost auto. It reveges easy too. One of my sativas has just started stretching!

@Joedank - Those look amazing! I have the Jesus OG that is a cross with the Hells OG. One of my favorite plants

@FLkeys1 - I don't think BT kills right away. You will start seeing worms hanging from strings looking lethargic and then you will find them everywhere during trim drying out. If you see one, then you have a hundred. Spray the whole garden. I hung my spring solar dried trees outside under the carport and they just kept dropping down on strings for a week as they abandoned the drying ship. Made the mistake of doing this inside the first time and ended up with strings and worms everywhere in the room!

Mo

Yep, it is still alive and I sprayed it around 7 this morn. but he is not moving and no longer eating. says here it can take a couple days. but it looks like the Caterpillar stops eating not to long after eating the BT

Bt has to be eaten to cause mortality. The Bt toxin dissolve in the high pH insect gut and become active. The toxins then attack the gut cells of the insect, punching holes in the lining. The Bt spores spills out of the gut and germinate in the insect causing death within a couple days.

sounds like a really bad way to die..

thanks for the info.

Also the sun deactivates BT. Spray in the evening when direct sun is gone.

At my old home I put some white shade cloth on top my patio cover and ten years later when I sold the home it was still in okay shape. I don't recall the brand but got it in rolls at home depot. I grew lots of tropical in pots under it and they did fine.

Praying for the endless summer

Forsure, I saw S-manta post a few days back she was going to spray it that evening so I just followed her lead, judging by her plants she knows what she is doing

Well, thank you, M. I have gardened for decades but I don't know the characteristics or nuances of growing pot, but....I'm learning. I am trying taking all my knowledge and transferring it to mj. While roses get thrips, bud worm, powdery mildew and other things pot gets, with pot being an annual I figure I have one shot at getting it right..and with the rose, you can prune it and do better with the same bush, next year.

Did that work dude I don't feel like I mixed mine strong enough last night this morning I still saw some fuckers moving around.

I have a ton I can share. Go to the cup in feb and buy some of their gear and they give out some tester beans as well. Ala my super sonic and tardis. Last year I got pennywise and space kandy. All were awesome.
