I think you'll dig the SB.. I got some as freebies from Herbie's and shes one of my fastest growers for sure.
Yeah? She was the first to germinate haha. i have 9 Bahia Blackhead's, 1 SB, 2 Hawaiin Skunk's, and 1 Brains Damage in Soil already. I I think I am gonna. Throw the Strawberry Blue in the ground, and try my hand at cloning her. Seems like a good strain to have hangin around.

She definitely surprised me. The HSH looks alright too.. aside from being a lil stretchy. How many you got going total these days?

@curiousflower Should start flowering around August. Sometimes sooner, like mid-late july. You are gonna have alot of pot if your plant is already 3 feet tall.

@wvblazin I only Have 2 HSH, 1 SB, 9 Bahia Blackheads, 1 Brains Damage, 7 Seahash, 8 Seawarp, 7 Stumble weed, and 22 mixed(Super Silver Haze and Random Indica-dom) bagseeds. Gonna flower out all the bagseeds in a couple weeks. I still have 10 seeds I'm hoping germinate. I am hoping for a male and a female HSH so I can have some HSH seeds stocked up for later. About the internode spacing........I have found that using seaweed extract keeps the internode spacing a bit tighter on stretchier strains.

The SB was the first to germ for me. with a thick fuzzy taproot. I have also received some ghetto freebies from herbies before though.

I'm going to have to try that.. Where they are they're getting atleast 8 hours of direct sunlight per day and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't figure that problem out. I thought I was doing a lot of different strains this year. I had to color code them with zip ties to keep them straight.

I just put some white tape on the pots and label them with sharpie. In 2012 I transplanted all different strains at the same time and lost track lol. I won't make that mistake again. The seaweed extract also makes for a strong, healthy root system. I hear it helps plants fight off pests as well. It also helps with plants stress. I won't grow without it.

Aside from Amazon and Ebay, my options here are limited ATM. I don't even have a local nursery around anymore.. I have to rely on the big box stores nowadays. I've thought about opening my own but its kind of hard to compete with lifetime warranties on plants.
I couldn't use tape bc all of my ladies are in the ground hidden away.. I have a feeling that I'm going to lose track too because I've noticed that the sun is already starting to bleach the color away on the tags that I used. I guess if this shit was easy everyone would be doing it.

First off, the light dep. Almost got them all in 3 gallon pots. Almost ready for flowering. I have been using maxsea and guano teas. They seem to like it. I had thrips for a day. Killed those with some spinosad spray and a guano tea spray. Also put a praying mantis in there and he has been going to town on any flies trying to land in his territory haha. Pretty kool.photo (6).JPG
The veg greenhouse is doing alright other than root aphids I started spraying with neem oil again today. I sprayed the entire screenhouse(including its surroundings) down with the neem today. I am also going to be spraying the bottom of the pots with a strong neem solution on a daily basis. I bought some bayer imid for fruits and vegetables. I will apply that tomorrow morning. Hopefully they won't be too much of a problem for me.

Here's some Tom's in my garden bed.

Some more pepper plants, a couple Sun Sugar Tom's, a cantaloupe(top left), and a Crookneck squash.

Everything is fine other than the root aphids and a few earwigs I believe are eating my Tom plant leaves. Hopefully some neem oil deters them a bit. I am also going to put a product called Tanglefoot at the base of the plants. The earwigs wont be able to cross it. Just don't touch it with your fingers lol. I bet you will be trying to get it off for the next 2 days.

It seems to be the year of the earwig, sob's are everywhere this year.

I need to bury some beer cans around the plants. It works to catch quite a few earwigs. Most of them are in my compost piles. I'm sure if I didn't have my compost piles they would be all over my plants. Sevin dust works great on earwigs. But I can't stand that shit anymore. Smell like straight up poison. Can't be good for your lungs at all. Probably causes cancer. I'm trying to be more organic this year now that my son likes to garden with me. I guess I need to go get some Modelo until my spinosad gets here lol.

Ear wigs will damage plants? I been wondering why I been seeing them every once in a while hanging around on my plants.
