Thanks waterproof! That plant was Deathstar. casper808 gave it to me awhile back. Just FYI, he just won 1st place in 2 out of 3 categories at the AHI and got 2nd place in the 3rd category. Good for him! He's a real decent guy.Looking good, Rik. What strain is that?
I havent flowered anything out in a while since i've been dealing with the Root Aphids but I think I finally got rid of them. They make russet mites seem like a piece of cake to deal with. Still no idea how I got them as I havent brought in any clones for a couple of years.
I'm taking a trip to Vietnam next month, I want to try and bring back some seeds if I can source any.
I did notice the root aphids shortly after putting plants in coco but I’m not sure if I already had them and the coco just made it easier to see. What did you do to deal with them?Thanks waterproof!

Oddly enough I got root aphids too and also have no idea where they came from. I did take in a few clones, but I don't think that's where they came from. Did you get yours after putting some plants in coco? I don't think they came in my coco, but they could be attracted to the moisture or something. One of my neighbors who's probably a 250-300 yards away is growing a decent amount of plants. Maybe they came from his place? I'll have to ask him. I figured they're probably just around like everything else.
Did you go to Thailand last year? Did you source any seeds there? I'd guess it should be pretty easy to source seeds there. There was a guy on here who lived in VN and made it sound pretty easy to find weed there and it also sounded like plenty seeds came free with the flowers, ha ha! That should be a cool trip regardless. I'd be down to check out S.E.A. someday. Maybe after all the kids move out.

I found botanigard to not be very effective after several rootball soaks. I did one soak with azera which is a azadirachtin/pyrethrin mix and it really knocked them back.
We did go to Thailand last year but weed use was non-existent and the laws are kinda scary. It sounds really easy to find in Vietnam. You should definitely go to SE Asia sometime. Tickets are super cheap for some reason, under $700 round trip from Hilo, and you can live like a king off very little money once you are there.
I didnt realize that about expat life expectancy but read a little about this morning. Sounds like it is mostly a result of a self-destructive lifestyle, which fortunately is not really my style and I dont plan on becoming an expat anytime soon. I'm mostly into the culture, food, and scenery and the fact it is cheaper than flying to most places in america.I'm aware of the ability to live on a little over there too. I had a buddy who was in Thailand that got into a motorcycle accident over there and he had to have surgery and spent something like 8-10 days in the hospital and guess how much it cost hime? I guessed $1200 at first. He said I was waaay off. So I said $800. Nope. $180 for everything. That's unbelievable really, but my buddy isn't a liar. Wild stuff.
Actually some places in SEA have really low life expectancy rates for expats because they can just party too hard with drugs, sex and booze for too long on a little money. I think I read the average life expectancy for expats (or sexpats as some refer to them) in Cambodia was either 42 or 52. Whatever it was it was really low. I don't party so cheap booze and drugs aren't alluring, but the sites and people would be great I'm sure.
Ha Long Bay and Hue would be a couple cool places to visit if you get the chance. I'll just live vicariously through you for now, ha ha!
Thanks for the kind words on the plants!I'm liking the 5 gallon pots bro! Some really nice and green looking plants for sure!
Casper is good people! I got to hang out with him this past AHI and had some good laughs That ChemChee lol he entered was damn fine. Straight Fire! I still have a nug of it he gave me i'm saving for a little while lol. Archive's Duct Tape.
Farthest east i have been is Japan, and it is about as expensive there as it is here lol. Still some killer food there tho!
Smoke Some Weed Cheehhuuu!
Good on Thailand for legalizing medical cannabis. The walls are crumbling all over the world.I didnt realize that about expat life expectancy but read a little about this morning.

I heard that Thailand recently legalized medical cannabis, which is a big deal for Asia. I was too scared of prison to even consider looking for it there, the place is trippy enough while sober that its almost like being on drugs.
Definitely. Only equitorial sativa's would get that big without lights here. I usually veg them about 7' tall before I flip themRikdabrick, you using lights to get your plants that big?
Congrats on the size and health of that plant in a 5 gallon, black bucket. You've either got great farming skills, or an awesome climate, or both..anyway, that's freakin' beautiful man.Hey guys! I hope all is well with you all! I've just been plugging away at it like normal. Just little stuff like this:
