I use to (as in now I'm not) use 1 gallons to flower in for first runs. It probably wouldn't be a problem if I didn't veg as long as I have. I know that when they are root bound, and seeing the root ball afterwards they definitely are, slows down the end of flowering. They seem to keep flowering while parts of the plant finish. On second runs, I'd use three gallon pots which I now use for anything in flower. This has avoided drawn out flowering, re flowering and root bound plants.

I vegged in dinky little pots, 1.5l margarine containers actually, and only let em veg in the 5 gallons for a week before the flip. I doubt I will get more then 2 oz.s off each.

Next time I'm going to go from party cup to 5 gallon at a week or so. I haven't been vegging long enough. My yields could be a lot better.

Once I get this Blue Tara finished and I am sure I like her, Im going to reveg., or find out which clone is which ;), I will be throwing the screen in there and training her proper. I have pretty high expectations for the smoke lol. I'm so tempted to take a sample but seeing how these little nugs are chunking up faster by the day I really don't want to touch em lol.

My Grape Stompers are starting to frost up too. They are looking pretty nice for only being a couple weeks in, the difference in speed is insanely apparent lol. The stompers I doubt will take more then 8 weeks the way they are packing on the mass. Was going to pull them out and grab some photo's but the morning got away from me.

Been hearing great things about SNS. Threw some in the amazon basket JUST IN CASE.

Thinking about some caps bennies as well. Anyone? My former partner RAVED about it root-wise. Also upon researching today I found several people claiming it WIPED out root aphids and other pests.

I'll be honest. The last YEAR I have been complacent about my bug prevention. stupid of me.

I dealt with many infestations during my first year indoors, spending many sleepless nights panicking and analyzing foliage under a microscope. I do not have a one time use miracle elixir, but I've spent a lot of time researching organic remedies, and have developed a preventative approach that has worked for quite some time now.

I learned the only way to prevent an infestation was to disrupt breeding cycles. This can be done using the harshest of chemicals, organic remedies, herbal oils, or plain water..

Long story short, I use a dual purpose foliar spray on my plants several times a week. This accomplishes a foliar feeding the plants love, and it's an effective preventative of spider mites and other leaf occupying bastards. Most days its a simple silica and H2O solution, but I'll also spray compost tea when available, epsom salt H2O mix for my pain the ass sativas, and pretty much anything beneficial to the foliage I'm feeling at the moment. I make sure to completely cover the plants from top to bottom, obviously making sure to get the underside of leaves entirely. I'll do this until about a month into flower(until the buds start to fatten up and the risk of mold comes into play).

The harshest chemical I've used was a habanero, garlic, cinnamon spray for a bad spider mite infestation. I will note that all of my girls were rid of mites in under a week after application every otherish day for 2 weeks, the hardest part of this method was ignoring all of the "chop everything and start over, your fucked" posts :roll:. Following that battle, I implemented the aforementioned preventative spray/foliar feedings and have been good ever since, my girls have also responded beautifully from these feedings.

I won't elaborate, but for soil applications I use the same habanero(or cayenne)/garlic/cinnamon with some Dr. Bronners Peppermint.

I've never done sift, always bubble. Do you find it to be as good, less work? Gotta keep the green out!

I'm probably the wrong guy to ask TY. I'm not a real hash connoisseur. I use a 90 micron bubble bag, dry ice, and agitate for 90 seconds. Always ends up being nice with no visible plant matter. I typically just give the hash to my patients.

I used to make ice water hash, but to process the same amount of bud as I just did it would take me all day. This took about 15 minutes.

I love my patients, but fuck wasting a whole day on this. Both methods are just stripping trichomes from plant matter using ice..... I don't see how the quality would vary much

It certainly is a labor of love making Bubble Hash! I spent probably three hours making the last batch. Went through 4 gallons of zip locks from the freezer.

After I was sent some lovely dry shifted hash, I definitely wouldn't of been able to tell if asked. No green and grade A+ quality.

Ohh boy, looks like you're in for a treat! That BT is looking real nice.... anxious to see what you think of the smoke. Very nice Mr H!

Thanks for the kind words, it's all the genetics and bodhi's hard work :) really couldn't ask for more from the first strains and plants I have run from him.

I can't wait to smoke some either, I got like 3 weekish left I really want to sample lol. If she's as good as she looks the whole cab will be filled with clones of her. Might grab a pinky finger tip sized sample tonight when the light comes on, I'm hesitant because nice potent buds picked too early can send me into anxious wreck mode :) experienced this once or twice before lol. The little nuggies are so dense I wanna see how they turn out dry too gonna be like chopping up pebbles. The TER i'd say is equally dense maybe a little less but the buds are bigger on it. This reflectix has sure made a difference in my grow, everything was super fluffy before I started using it.

I don't think my soil mix has enough *umph* for this TER though. Seems to be yellowing a bit and dropping some leaves near the bottom. I want to get a tea in her.

I love the spikey crown like bud structure on the blue tara , like in the picture of love triangle on the tude. I'm getting the same type spikey-crown like buds. Lovely to look at.

Really I want to look at this root ball, I can't even get my finger in the top of the soil without pushing hard as fuck the roots are so dense. I have a feeling this suckers full as hell.

Room full o' Bodhi. The Mothers Milk is my keeper, and she's hidden away in the back right corner, but she looks done at 8 weeks! But I'm still gonna let her go to 9.

This is 8 weeks from the flip to 12/12...Solos Stash is the giant on the left there. Nice yielder, extremely frosty.

You've got to really want to see this, to see this: sorry for the pic quality.

But these are 3 clones; Chuckys Bride is the wide one on the left. The other 2 are 2 different [ as day is night ] Solos Stash clones. Hard to see, but the middle is a short fatty, and the one on the right is almost as leggy and branchy as the CB, all at 3 weeks.

What's your keeper like, I'm looking to grab a couple more packs. They say our dollar is gonna dive up here so I'm stocking up while I can lol.

Looking at the Appalachia crosses now, figure I already got a couple with the snow lotus.

@D619 I think we may be trippin. Had a friend who's garden is the picture of cleanliness and health. Dude has an awesome schedule for prevention.

He looked at a healthy leaf of his under the scope and said he saw the same shit..... Then freaked out a bit! LOL. Not sure if many of us have examined under a leaf with a scope before.

I then checked my testers at a completely different location. Same thing.

SO....It's either part of the plant or you, my homie and myself all have tons and tons of eggs WITH NO PARENTS.

What started all of this was y'alls talk of broadmites. I then saw a fungus gnat looking thing in one of my sticky traps. I had just talked with a buddy who had root aphids and warned me it wasn't a fungus gnat but a "flyer" root aphid. (over the phone he didn't see it)

WELL that caused me to FREAK for the last few days. I had a feeling of impending doom and have been actually having bug nightmares (a giant spidermite was sucking my face off last night :o)

Upon insane amounts of research I have realized they are NOT RA's. Much tinier with a very thin butt and NO "exhaust pipe" things. Some dumb gnat that likes promix.

So I have 0 leaf issues, cannot find ONE mite ANYWHERE in the entire garden and have caught about 3 of these gnat things on the traps. This was a HUGE lesson in being proactive again about pests. Have some SNS 203 and 209 on the way....Already have the azamax, monterrey garden and stylet oil. Back to be part of the routine.....

I moved to a location with high altitude and cold temps. There simply are not the amount of bugs I was used too. It made me complacent. NO MORE!:fire::fire::fire:

But so I don't give myself an aneurysm I've decided not to freak out until I actually see SOMETHING indicative of a problem.

If you are planning on cloning, top early on, total totem pole type girls. A little finangling and they branch out most impressively but you really have to convince them to do it, just doesn't come naturally to them lol...

Thanks for the heads-up. What do you think about a little LST with her. Do you think that would force branching with her?

  1. What microscope magnification are you using?
  2. The eggs are easier to see than the bugs at 30 x
  3. The bugs can be seen at 30 x, you must look closely
  4. The damage is little holes in the leaves affected, it starts off as tiny yellow marks, sometimes red as they suck out the chlorophyll and poison the leaves.
  5. Damage progresses and at a certain point they well simply kill the plant before it finished flowering.

1. 100x
2. I see what looks like spidermite eggs.
3. Here's a pic, and I can't see any damage as of yet. Might minutely be deprive of nitrogen but that's it.
Have never seen an actual mite, ever. But I've also scoped plants I know were infested because of the webbing I saw and scoped it but no spider mites. Maybe they were treated with avid , killed the mites but not the eggs. Don't know.

Either way, treatment and prevention is on board. So if I do have any mites of any kind they will be eradicated.

I've tossed some good cuts just because I freaked out..

But nowhere near what Brek went through emotionally.. Lol. But then again I'm not fully set up, so it's easy for me to start over. Got more seeds than I can pop for a few years and we all know there's going to always be.. Man I need to buy this new cross and such. My pockets aren't that deep.

Can't wait till I start popping some golden triangle, dragon fruit SSDD just for starters.. :)

I think the little ones are asking for an enzyme kick of fresh juice from a coconut .. Yes I will have some as well . Cheers!.
