The weather has finally started leveling out, For the last 3 months it has stormed up to 3 times a day.
It has been flash flood rains and I've been really worried about mold and root rot but with ever vigilance and a keen eye I believe that it'll be kept in check...
The strains that I'm growing this year seem to be happy with the climate and grow medium that I'm using.
The strains that I'm growing are straight IBL Afghani Kush and Pakistan Valley Kush and I'm always stabilizing a cross of my own, I love the F1 vigour too so I always keep pollen in the fridge to have F1's for heavy production.
This morning I was woken up by the sound of a low flying chopper, This time of year the choppers are like flies but thank god for low budgets! LOL
Times have started to change, People are finally realizing that Marijuana isn't devil weed and the people are out spoken and even in my state(Kentucky)the idea has started to change. We've even gotten an industrial hemp law passed...
Anyway the Pakistan Valley Kush x Haze#1 F1 is doing exactly what I wanted them too. They are Haze through and through and the PVKush has shortened down the flowering time, The smell is reminiscent too PVKush and the buds are a little more solid and harder but that's what I wanted from the cross...
Keep it Green RIU!!!!

Heh bro. Just a shout from Ga. I do a lot of organic produce in addition to my guerilla gardening. I don't know if you found anything to deal with the worms that 100%, but I use a product called Thuricide (or commonly called BT). It's organic and what I use on my produce so I have something to take to market and keep on my table. I've seen a few choppers down here too, but no close calls this year. BTW, I bought my farm from a deceased Nam vet's family. He was a serious grower. Put his name and a date on every beech tree in this end of the county. God rest his soul. Take good care and bring in them sheaves fella. GJs

Thanks for dropping me a comment @mmR GreenJeans...
I didn't really find anything that takes care of the worms that wouldn't be harmful to my plants and nobody likes smoking chemical soaked buds. I'll have to find some Thuricide for next years crop, The only thing that I found to keep tabs on the worms is just a piece of thin wire and tweezers. When I find a hole in the stalk or in a branch I figure out which way the worm went, Up or down and there is usually a second hole not to far from the entrance hole. I take the wire and feed it through the first hole working my way toward the second hole and almost every time the worm will pop out of the second hole. Then I just use my tweezers and grab hold of little bastards heads and pull it out, Sometimes I just use my fingers and pinch it's head off. Sometimes there is only one hole and no second hole, So I figure out which way the worm went and just start feeding the wire through the hole slowly and when the wire has gone as far as it can I just lightly ram it back a forth impaling the worm. The worm will be stuck inside of the plant but it doesn't hurt anything, The holes heel up and the plants are saved for another day.
The choppers don't fly nearly as often as they did 4-5 years ago. What they do now to conserve fuel and to make sure that any patch they seize is worth while is they'll fly about 2 months into the season and they find patches and mark them with GPS so later in the year they come back to those GPS coordinates and seize the plants.
Keep it green RIU!!!!

Thanks man, I love western Ky...
I do have a few that arn't in full flower yet, The more Sativa dominant strains I have are just in the spiderbud stage but they're almost ready to start pilling on weight.
The Pakistan Valley Kush x Haze#1 F1 cross that I'm working has showed an early flowering phenotype by Haze standards, It has the Haze frame and bud structure haze but the Kush has beefed the buds up quite a bit and shortened down the flowering period quite a bit...
Just keep patient and they'll be flowering before you know it... Thanks for stopping in man...
It's going good here, Could use a lot less rain and humidity has been very high...

Wow.. the choppers have flown all day here. I had my balls up in my stomach when they flew over my patch witch is within viewing distance from my house. Scary feeling!! Good luck to all my fellow KY growers.
I have yet to notice a single chopper in my area. I hear they are in the next few counties over. There is one particular county in my area that has a reputation and I know a guy that has a ranch I guess you would call it. He is always bitching because the choppers fly so low and bug the piss out of his cattle. My strains (the ones I know of) are all sativa dom hybrids, and your flowers are much further along than mine. Im probably 100 miles south of ya, and maybe a little to the east so Im not sure if that has much to do with it or not. Good luck to ya!

It's not a good feeling is it?
Those bastards get giddy like little school bitches when they find someones patch. A couple years ago a chopper landed in a piece of bottom land next to a garden and they seized one just ONE plant from the middle of the garden... If that's what they have to resort too, They're trying to show their worth to the county but that's why they are flying on borrowed and gifted fuel.
I hope very soon that the US government will make the exception for Industrial Hemp and let us start farming Hemp...
It's gonna suck having to watch out for the wall of pollen coming from the hemp fields but thats just pro and cons...

Yes sir, I agree but I'm strongly against socialism and that would be what the populous would adopt.
There's already way too many bleeding heart nonsence puking liberals in America. I consider myself a moderate Republican but I'm 420 friendly and I am for Social Security and health care BUT NOT OBAMA CARE!!!

Yeah ur going to at least need some bamboo stakes for the last month of flower when they really pack on the weight.
but over there you might even pull a tad early cause rain and stuff idk I'm not really from over there though so can't say much.
