Today I gave my plants a tune up. Lower growth was snipped for various reasons, not the least of which was thrip damage.
I can get rid of them for a while, but they always come back...
Only one plant showed sex and it's a female! It also happens to be my best Texas Butter in the bunch. The only down-side is that the stem rub smells mostly chem and I was hoping for banana.
None of the bodega bubblegum showed sex, and the bugs seemed to like them more than the Texas Butter. They are also quite a bit shorter.

Texas butter on top & Swayze on the bottom
Not a hint of Banana as far as smell, but I'm not tripping, I just wanted to see how they grow & smoke,not to let some cure,then see how it taste.
When I did banana puff,that was all banana smell & taste,but also lots of bananas on some of the plants,not with these Texas butter.

Holy fuuuuuck!
Thrips are awful, I listened to a podcast recently that was talking about biological pest control for cannabis, and the scientist said some cultivars definitely are more susceptible to bugs, they mentioned thrips specifically during that talk. I think the Cannabis community should start focusing more on breeding for those sort of traits. Pest resistance, WPM resistance, etc. I know there has been some work done in that direction, but it feels under-emphasized by US breeders, to me.Today I gave my plants a tune up.

Ok so just a germ report
Soaked friday @ 6pm
By tuesday 8 am almost all have heads about an inch outa the ground
On a shit note one of my purple badlands decapped itself so i set the head in rockwool to see if i can save it
probably a goner.
But at least that was the pack that had 12 in it
Purple badlands had the most heads up (all)
Minus the decap.
Cnc had 0 heads but they should be up tonight or tomorrow.
The blizzard bush and evergreen are about half heads , the other half will be out tonight or tomorrow.
So far im very pleased

An old guy told me once , it doesn’t make sense to keep making a mistake just because you spent a long time making it...
Fucker don’t quit , I’ll give him that .
I got some,but my nuggets look like his weekly clean up.
Gotta give him a bit of credit,he 's persistent.

The sooner I can get them to high brix, the better.
Bugs lose interest in plants once they get that healthy gloss.

This will happen when genetic sequencing and what not become more advanced in the industry. Too regulated still currently. Right now all we can do is use time and environment tested strains for this. I use a lot of KC brains and some other Dutch, South American, and South African genes to fix these issues currently.
Other than natural pests Montereys Insecticide with Spinosad destroys thrips. Got them bad twice throughout my growing career and never saw them again after 2 applications of the stuff sprayed from sprayer below canopy into pots and surrounding them. Old icmag forum member helped me out with that was amazed how effective it was. Malathion works fantastic on everything for most part but never used it on thrips don't see why it wouldn't since it kills pretty much everything... I use natural pests from insectary's now though (rinconvintova). Will never use chems again been years since I have.

I use Captain Jacks spinosad and it kills the shit out of thrips.

Ahh you probably have recurrent infestations because of location or growing outside? I am pretty positive mine were just from a batch miracle grow organic soil and I was indoors so once they were dead they were dead for me.

My grow area is in the garage & isn't sealed.
Insects don't really freak me out.
Getting spider mites late in flower is probably the worst case scenario.
Been there, done that...
