I am worried by the leaf drop my plants are suffering. I believe it's a deficiency. Maybe Potassium, Magnesium or Manganese - I have been studying the diagnosis threads - but I'm not sure which one. I am feeding a tea which ought to supply all needs but it doesn't seem to help. Perhaps it's made...

Richard, Thanks for all the detailed info on Spinosade and Neem Oil. I am familier with Neem but have never used it. I did not realize it's bug specific and won't harm the soil. That makes it pretty benign. I trust it doesn't affect the plant adversely. No bad tastes or smells. The fact both...

I have never really had a problem with worms or catapillars. I grow outdoors and normally only lose a handfull of bud out of pounds. I think between birds and toads they are held in check. If you have a small grow I'd hand pick and use one of those bacteria treatments. The threads in the plant...

"...They leave a silvery looking blemish on the leaf and there are usually little black turds of theirs right beside the damage. ..." Exactly what I see. Check the pic. Just concerned that Spinosade may damage flowers. Are you it's safe at this stage? Also have a problem with killing beneficials...

Over all, I think the plants are doing OK. Say B+. Scared that if I start fiddling with nutes I could make things worse. Plus given the slow nature of breakdown it maybe too late to fix organically. Refuse to use chemicals.

Hi, thanks for replying. Pretty sure it's thrips. They are tiny and hard to see but damage shows on the leaves. I had a Leaf Hopper attack earlier in the season. They were doing some damage but I hand picked them off and slowly got the better of them. I have seen Grasshoppers destroy a grove of...

ha ha, you done good. hope it smokes like a beast. bugs not an issue at this point. would take ordinance to dent that moo.

Little Misty doesn't indulge. Wouldn't let her near when they were sprouts, but once they start to resin she don't want to know. She's been with us two grows now. She was cracked by a pick-up truck as a fawn. Compound fractures to her left hind leg. We scraped her up and nursed her. Now she...

Thanks, mate. I will need jars or turkey bags, and plenty of 'em! Fingers crossed. Last year I did a similar grow. Check the results. This year I'm in a better spot and I hope to improve....

E="fandango, post: 11820123, member: 403687"]Needs 50;50 still...and calmag here. those hills look like Amador. Whats 50/50? Cal mag must be a calcium magnesium supplement. Can I find an organic alternative? Do you think the thrips can do substantial damage? Thanks so much for getting back to...

Hi, Thanks for replying. I've heard good things about spinozade. Great stuff. Apparently of was discovered in an abandoned Haitian rum distillery by a botanist on holiday. One thing I heard was that it's not good to use during flowering. Can't remember where I read that and not certain it's...

Started a new garden this year. 100% organic. Feeding via mulch, compost tea and fish emulsion. 3 weeks into bud and things are looking good for the most part except for a recent infestation of thrips. Lower leaves are suffering most. Tops seem vigorous. I'm not sure how to proceed. The plants...

Local wild fires rain ashes. Third big one this season. Scary.

Journal update. Three weeks into bud. Showing damage from thrips and a little difficient too, otherwise kicking on.

Bringing my garden to all you herb doctors for a mid-life check up. They were born in late April and planted early June. Maybe three weeks into bud. Some Bag Seed and some clones from a good source. Gardening 100% organic. No insecticides. Feeding via mulch and compost teas. Plus fish emulsion...

Thanks for replying. I think you are right about being a hermaphrodite. First one I have come across. The plant is from bag seed. Some sort of purple. 8 seeds. 6 female. 1 male. 1 Hermy. Not bad.

My plants are starting to show their sex. All female, thankfully, except for one that I am having a hard time determining. Looks mostly female but are those male flowers down below? Appreciate another's opinion. Thanks.

Thank you so much. Will be posting new pics in grow journal later today. Check it out. Organic in Napa.

Curious if you they are all doing equally well under your feeding routine? Have you found that different strains have different needs?

That's some good looking vegetation. What strain are they?
