I had a few termites munching through stems and completely killing plants but not at the spots iv used this year , and about 3 catapillars but pretty clear for bugs.
the biggest problem iv had is mold from all the rain at flower time , but I think the plants running out of nutrients made the mold alot worse as smaller plants didnt suffer much mold ,
Thats why I v picked the most mold proof strains I know of .
Yeah budrot sucks, my Panama took a serious amount of rain to start to get mold over 10 days of pouring rain and no sun.
Malawi is even more budrot resistant, lost about 10% to mold but I think the water crystals didn't help the situation. I'd say the Old Timer's Haze will be near impossible to get mold.

Yeah taskenti is something special man, you'll love it. They look pretty good and vigorous so far, gonna dig a patch for some of them this weekend.
Awesome, the cotton candy is definitely worth it - I'm gonna put a couple cotton candy singles out so it'll be good to see what pheno you get. I think I might have the sweet musky one(mother is growing inside atm) which is my favourite pheno so far, old school chunky sativa buds.
The weather's been algood this last week, seeds are taking off now and the sun is burning! almost 1200 watt per m2 today!, getting 18-21 day temps at the moment. UV getting to around 6 or 7. Apparently Blenheim was 27 today! must be a some kind of record for October.

Yeah probably just use that one.

Here's some Malawi bud shots cured, sorry bout bad photos cause my camera was dead.

Sweet theyl be fem then right? Yea im keen on the cotton candy it germinated pretty wildly lol Maybe you got more of the power plant side of the cross? Its lavender x power plant right?
Same down here brother my plant is loving the weather and just pumping out the hairs now. Awesome info with the 1200 watt and UV stuff how do you work that out? Is 6 or 7 UV high or low?
Yea I saw that on met service that's crazy! been getting 20's most of the week we could be in for a stunner summer. Those Malawi buds look great does it smoke smooth and trippy now that its cured?

Im gonna throw a couple of pics up of my seedlings on the other thread if you wanna check them out.I think I have two different Panama phenos one seems very very sativa and one seems quite sativa but with slightly fatter leaves. Also its quite interestng compare the Panama DC next to the Panama. The Panama DC has some fat leaves compared to the straight Panama so hopefully a deep chunck pheno either way I don't mind :-) Also both of the Panamas first set of true leaves are weird they're supposed to be a single blade leaves but one of the Panama Has 3 blades for its first leaves and the other has two leaves? Weird lol I wonder if the next set will be the normal 3 or whether itl be 5. Loving the look of the fat ancient taskenti leaves.Im using that black magic seed raising mix this year which is doing a good job so far.

Not too sure but probably, makes sense to all be female since there was no actual male.
Yeah they germinated really fast, like putting a non germinated seed in soil only took 2-3 days to pop up. Haven't grown Power Plant or Lavender but I'm asssuming I have a PP pheno, well it is a more sweet sativa pheno rather than the danker sour lemon more indicaish pheno. Sweet bro :bigjoint:get some early christmas smoke. Oh I just found a local weather station in my area on the internet and it has all the weather stats you could possibly want or need, got to 1300+ watts yesterday(record is 1652). yeah 7 is starting to get high, I think in summer it's usually round 10 but not sure. Masterton has been getting hot alright, weather has gone a overcast/sun for the last couple days but the uv is still giving good growth. Not so much trippy but strong and smooth, I think the regular malawi isn't as good as the Fem because they used the Killer Malawi mother reversed and the regular had other Malawi males. Probably grow some fems next year in a glasshouse to fully mature it.

Same i chucked a couple up too, might just stay on that thread now. Your plants look good and healthy, that's what I'm using too lol! good shit.

must be a cheap car you can get complete 600w kits for $195 from easygrow cheap as
I know that but i had $1500 and didn't want to go under for obvious reasons. The easygrow light was the one i was talking about but i couldn't get both.

I just kept my eye out for old warehouse light but ended up finding a mint condition 400w remote ballast with shade for $50 so that was perfect. Got a pretty tidy 95 nissan sunny for $1500 with 170,000k, waited a while so i could find one that was taken care of.

I'm pretty regular on that site. You need to keep on eye on the persons feedback though because there are lots of bad sellers. I only have a feedback rating of 20 and i've already ran into a couple. Don't expect warranty from chinese sellers either because they'll probably just ignore you after you post feedback.

I get my 400w hps bulbs from there for $20. Bought a new 6" blower fan from there once for $120 and ended up selling it on trademe for $200 used.

I saw a guy who ordered something from supercheap and it came from aliexpress. Wonder how much they made off that sucker.

Wow that's quick! 2 - 3 days good stuff haha Yeah should be interesting to see what Cotton candy pheno I get. Yeah keen for some early smoke shes looking great now Ill get some pics up soon :)
Christmas cones here I come. Awesome I wish we had a local weather station like that down here. Yea my plants loving the warmth it makes a huge difference.
Aw well the Malawi sounds like a nice smoke itl kick ass in a grren house if you get one, im keen as to see you do that you could grow anything amazingly, especially with gunano teas aswell.
Oh good shit are there any nutes in the seed raising mix do you know? Catch you on the other thread :mrgreen:
 
Hey ive had been told that i can get Two harvest for outdoor grow by haven sum in small pots around 20 litres, then root bounding the plant, making all the energy go into the plant stressing it out makeng it flour earlier. Has anyone else heard about or done this I dont know if ill be trying it out this year got about 20 seedlings out at the moment just ground soil planning on 40-60 more but dont know if ill be able to manage putting them out anyone got any tips or ideas?

What strains mate?
Kushberry, sage and sour, bella donna, snowbud, og #18, early skunk, critical. I'll put some photos up when there are more flowers.

Decent salad there. Went to 12/12 a week and a half ago but they only have about 1 weeks progress because i grow in
coco and i procrastinate when it comes to manual feeding. Can't wait to switch to dwc. Already got a $50 air pump as well as a water chiller, now i just need some buckets.
