Hey man! Thanks for dropping in to the Aussie Thread! We can only learn from the experts like you, particularly with a med background.

Yeah, I looked into Marronebio.com...product Grandevo WDG aka Chromobacterium Subtsugae. Regretfully it doesn't seem to be available in Oz. Our cousins across the ditch (NZ) seem to be embracing the product via Nu-Farm. Sadly the Kiwis seem to be a bit more open minded in embracing "Bio" initiatives.

If you don't mind, pretty sure it was Tyler that suggested a product based on Bifenazate? Any thoughts?

Much respect!
Good morning, I'd handle Floramite the same way as Avid and clone out three generations.

Thanks mate! Sorta caught the sarcasm in your post on that thread (Tyler knows how to deal with mites!!), No disrespect to Tyler, but I had to be sure! They market Floramite over here as Macromite, for $393 a litre! But there is no info on it other than fact sheets that aren't relevant.

Much respect and many thanks

Hey @Snowman78 @Capman420 !

Off to Morphettville tomorrow (not in person) for a couple of G1's.

Favourite Steinem looks hard to beat in the Oaks, but I liked the run of Sirileo ($19) last start. Hear there is a push for Americain Angel ($16), reckon D.Lane went over there for a reason.

Certainly isn't the beer!

Anything else you blokes want to add to the tri?

Best for the day is meant to be MR R9, No 8 Vowmaster. Good luck, and gamble like there's no tomorrow!
G'day mate, I'll do some form this morning. Been trying to get out of Melbourne and back up to the bush. I'll put some $$$ in betting account. I usually do my best work behind the barriers backing them on how they are looking and their behaviour. Served me well over the years. Haven't had a bet for about a month so it should be interesting.
McEvoy family on their own patch are always hard to beat... Must have same chemist as Hayes..... Oh wait he was stable foreman years ago hahaha. I'll post what I like on form after I get the paper.

Love Sisstar, front runner though. Reckon it might be a day for swoopers. Big Northerly yeah? Hard 1st 400.

Reckon 126/126/126,15,16. Good luck man!

Oaks fellah?
I imow the pattern usually is against her bit she has been in some pointy end gr1. Brooklyn hustle I'll be backing to break through and American angel, increase in distance suits in the oaks

About to chop a couple of Green Crack clones from the greenhouse:

L-R: A (hopefully) pregnant female, the Mother of all, since she's now done her job. Two of her children that are coming down.

9 of the Mother's children with a teensie-weensie bit longer to go inside:

18 more ready to take their place, but I won't veg. these ones for as long (lesson learned....) & SCROG them.

The Curry Leaf plant also needs harvesting:

Hey Snowman! I'll stick with 126/126/126,15,16 for the tri in the Classic. Agree on Brooklyn Hustle for the win.

In the Oaks its box Tri 9/13/17, there is a definite push for Americain Angel! Capman liked 1 & 6.

Don't forget MR R9, No 8 Vowmaster, meant to be the bet of the day. Good Luck!

Will get back to you on Strainly too, still trying to figure out what I'm doing..cheers

If you're having issues with mites or other bugs, give this stuff a go from Dr Greenthumbs! Fully organic and you can use it right up to harvest! Used to be called Bug Boss King Hit.

Thanks heaps Easty! Looked into the Bug Boss King Hit....seems to be oil based "kills and smell deters" reference probably means either Lavender/Rosemary oil. " kills mould/pm" is definitely Clove oil. Funny how they don't state ingredients, hey!

Personally I don't like adding anything when I only have a few weeks to go in flower, so got into the nodes & unders with a Cotten swab & isopropyl. Reckon I'll have a bit of snap'crackle'n'pop when it comes to smoko! Just one plant though, no biggie! Serves me right for putting em ou in the yard for a bit of sun!

C2G also posted a bud wash alternative to H2O2 docbudsbrix.com/bud-washing which substitutes lemon & baking soda for H2O2, ever tried it? Good luck mate!

How much do you charge for a weekend GFE in Melbourne? I'll even provide breakfast in bed......'might spill the whipped cream, 'though......;)
Had to google that! You're weird mate! Stick to the llamas, yeah?

The horse I referenced there Sisstar ran last FYI. I had the winner, but only picked it for 3rd. My best in that race ran 5th. Hits'n'misses! Speaking of which......

Yep, I'm weird, but I prefer the term "loveably eccentric".;)

So, your front runner came last? Good luck with your future betting endeavours! Maybe you should re-think things.....

That's good info man, thanks hey! I haven't used it yet so will have a squiz. I used Vitality + early this round on thrips and it worked well, not sure if it's oil based but supposed to be safe.

I haven't tried the other one man, I'll have to have a look at it too, cheers :)

Nah mate, that was @Capman420 tip, I didn't think it could win. To Capmans credit he got pretty close in the Oaks with 2nd and about 5th Ecumenical. You seem to suck on ponies too!

It's my story & I'm sticking to it.

But yeah, you're right - things are slightly sideways right now.

Can someone direct me to the nearest Llama-farm?
I hear Llamas are a bit fussy? Yeah?

Maybe you should look @ something a bit more relevant..........Local Porcini, perhaps? A Barrow like you might have chance!

Good luck!

Brooklyn hustle got out way too late, same for Americain angel. Considering how wide it went to run on top 6 was not a bad effort. Did my cash, ah well that's punting.

I find it somewhat incongruous that you had to Google "GFE", but were able to use the term "Pegging" in a heartbeat in PM's.

It's also incongruous that you seem to have a VAST theoretical knowledge, but for some inexplicable reason, no photo's of your grows at all. That would be the norm here......can't navigate the forum??? Pft!

No photo's of your grows? Here, let me do it for you:

Or.....maybe it wasn't actually your grow in the first place......or maybe someone you just dumped them-on?

You chose the wrong route/root & have found the Nemesis that I warned you against - you WERE warned!

Adieu
