It'd be cool to visit the B.I. too. I haven't been there for 3.5 years. That's when we moved back to Maui from Mountain View. There's a lot of cool things about the B.I. and a lot of rad people, but I probably won't make there anytime soon. I'm stuck on Maui for the foreseeable future. Fortunately, it's not a bad place to be stuck :)

Been "stuck" here for 7 1/2 years now. Not so bad.

Anyone ever try Critical Mass outdoors? I'm dry side of the island and I acquired a couple seedlings. Or does anyone have growing recommendations for a similar dense bud strain?

Thanks for the heads up on the spinosad. I don't know what BT is tho. They will both be on the list my next trip to the garden store.
As far as the whole neem smoking deal, I've never could tell any difference probably cause there wasn't any on there. Right now I use neem and sesame seed oil for white fly but u know it doesn't kill them....they're right back in 2-3 days like they were before I sprayed. When I say it doesn't kill them, I mean it only mechanically gums up their mouth parts and it probably doesn't actually or it might. But I stopped making BHO because of it. I only spray on the leaves or at least try to and what minuscule trace amounts land on the buds I never can tell. But I don't like the thought of mixing neem & sesame seed oil in with the sticky.
I knew I saw that word somewhere then bam it hit me.

It's given in tablet form to my dogs ever month.

How is it applied? I don't think a foliage spray is going to touch borers that are inside a stalk or stem. Water it in possibly? If it's safe enough to give my dog....dunno. The tablets smell like some skeet of bug spray or something...they don't like the taste either, I have to stick it on the end of my finger and ouch it down their throats.
While I'm pondering that I'll throw up a pic of a couple new arrivals...
The one on the left is one of those Afghan reg freebies from Herbies and the other two is a cross I made from my two favorites now, the mother was an Ace Malawi and the dad was a Serious Kali Mist.

All 3 are at 3-1/2 weeks...I have no clue as to the bonsai in training in the middle. It's stopped getting taller at 10 days. I think it's just a retard.
Anyways thanks again to all that chimed in on my borer problem. Btw, I think I was the cause of the whole thing now. PHing my water started getting to be a hassle. My tap water will range anywhere from 7.3-8.4 and I was getting lockout. I started using rainwater cause the pH is so close to where it should be from volcanic rain....I found a couple of this tiny beetles floating on top of one of the pails I use to catch water..go figure

you might want to check nearby non-cannabis plants for the whitefly as well and try to cut back any vegetation that they are also attracted to. They seem to like palm fronds and guava trees in my yard.

Vacuum cleaners work well to suck up any whitefly. BacillusThuringiensis aka BT is only effective for fungus gnats and caterpillars, very cheap though and sold as "mosquito dunks" or bits. Spinosad is a bacteria and works pretty well for white fly and is great for thrips but make sure you dont apply in direct sunlight as it decreases the effectiveness.

I read that whitefly can be attracted to plants with phosphorous and mag deficiencies and are also attracted to the color yellow. If you were having PH lockout problems, that could also be contributing to your problems.

P.S. make sure you are using 100% Cold-Pressed Neem like Dyna-gro brand or ahimsa organics. The "clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil" products are not very good and dont contain the complete assortment of beneficial compounds found in the cold pressed products.

I haven't grown it, but I'd guess it would mold because of the humidity. You could try one or two and see how they do. Who'd you get it from? Mr. Nice? Dinafem? CBD Crew? Let us know how it goes if you grow a couple :)

Really nice looking stuff Mo. Have you got to smoke the Mystery Blue yet? How is it? And I don't know what Ace of Spades smells like, would you be kind enough to elaborate? :)

Hard to explain. Vinyl and cherries. It is predominant in several TGA strains.

I'm sure it smells great though it's tough to imagine a vinyl cherry smell for me. Nice shot of the Crimbo too. How long do you think she's got to go? Looks like she's still got awhile; plenty of vigor still.
