Went out this arvo to give the girls a spot of B&D & noticed the colour-change.

For anyone who's grown IB, is this normal?

BTW, she smells like a late (whirlpool) kettle hop-charge on an IPA brew-day = GLORIOUS!!!
I’m so glad you put it outside man that’s awesome. I new this cut was gold have any other plants got it or just the one?

Yeah can also comment that neem has had no real impact on taste if your careful, although I've been very hesitant to use it after the stretch.

I try to only switch over when bug free these days, so you can go into flower and not have to worry about these issues. Easier said than done though I know.
Think ill mix it up for the first few weeks then lay right off sprayin for pests apart from the odd spray to keep the cats an stuff away.. Ive kept a good system going most veg to keep em pest free but the little fkrs still drp by frm time to time. The rsn askin about the neem is im still seein the odd signs of brd mites an possible thrip damage, dont think ill wipe out all the mites but id like to keep the numbers dwn to fk all.. They spread quick, noticed on cpl plants then before long had spread out over 6 plants before i got it undercontrol.
Like the idea of takin plants into flowrin bug free wuld make life allot easier for ya. Spose if im not directly blastin buds with neem it shouldn have much affect on quality

Nah, this is nothing. As DustyDuke pointed-out, I coulda-shoulda-woulda got her in the ground before the outdoor season really started, but "stuff" got in the way & I was waaay behind.

There's always next year.....Hmmmm.......'sounds like my sex life.....:(
Man theres always a way round it first thing ya gotta do is stop puttin it off till next year an youll see ya sex life pik up.
Ill stop talkin crap, In the the ground or not they still lookin good,i reckon the bud looks mad.
Theres some awesome lookin plants out there

This is the only one that's (so far) displayed any colour in the flowers, but it's the only one I kept indoors on 12/12, then recently put her outside. She's way ahead of the the others that have all been in the ground (or pots) & are just starting to produce flowers now.

Awesome seems like everywhere ive read apart from the aussie thread people are banging on about how it affects taste.. Ill take the good advice here an go with it as ive always been pointed in the right direction wen needed...
I think what most are banging on about a products that actually have neem its oil form. Azamax or eco neem use the active ingredient from the neem seed, Azadirachtin A & B, but doesn’t actually contain neem “oil” as such.

Makes sense. Was reading up about the active ingredients in neem oil today didn think to actualy look into what was in eco neem though. But dont reckon i woulda put them together so thanks for ya help venus . Wanna stay on top of things but didn wanna end up with rank tastin bud.

in leds yes. In fluro 6400k bulbs are the go. If you want more elongation throw an a 3500k bulb in as well but you’ll still mostly want 6400k. I used to run a 4 bulb fixture and ran 1 3500k
Might have been 6400 I was talking bout ant remember next time I'm out in me shed I'll look

I have been standing next to a lot of I.bs in the past 3 Summers ( last year one yielded 7 pound ) but have never seen the pink hairs

I.B is hands down the single most constant heavy yielder I've seen over the years that st to throw nice taste and high into the end product
Running joke with the guru i know growing it is if you can't get 2lb off it outside it's laughable
That's how consistent it is...we thought that it was a hype the advertising
But when u stand in a field of 17 of them nothing under 2 lb and some 7 your perception changes

Gotta agree with that.. That mavrik, would you use that durin the first cpl weeks of flowerin?
beernutz recommended Maverick to me Close to 2 weeks ago. Just started to get tiny caterpillars. I sprayed plants down twice with it and haven’t seen one since. It good stuff.
If I stuck to neem then I’d still be out their tryna keep them at bay I reckon :roll:

Yea same here hydro he recommeneded it to me when i was battling earwigs, there was hundreds of the little fkrs tried everythin i coukd get me hands on it was until i started using mavrik i was able to ckesr them out.. Still see the odd one every now an then but they are also predatory aswell so they get a 50 50 chance if i feel like squashin them or lettin them be.. Mavrik for the win though an its heaps cheaper then neem..

Awesome jimy!
I found buying eco-neem (same active ingredient as neem oil) in a concentrate and mixing it yourself is the cheapest way to go!

beernutz also recommended dipel as a safer alternative during flowering for caterpillars. Not sure if it will work on earwigs??

I'd still rotate a couple for ipm purposes ...maverick and neem in veg for me bit guys use green cleaner as it can be used thru flower as well If ur having trouble after week 2
Sometimes if the plants are big enough in flower I'm like Fuck the carerpillers they can't get thru 1/4 of my plant lol
