There are 3 what I would call Standard AF's in the pot with her...
But..
she is standing head and shoulder above the rest.
The Leaf has me...AND..the bud sites of course

Singed them last night..leaf and top bud on one of the standards.....looks like I'll have to take some decisions.





hisser...do you have a PH meter...something just clicked in my head...
in the UK we used to call them Vinegar flies..and I'm wondering what your PH RUN OFF is..
wondering if you are putting high acid out...attracting them

I'm not seeing any damage yet & they're probably in love with your girls

I've had them before..never noted any damage...just not nice...
Damn those girls are just Too hypnotic...
Talking about that....

Lovely m8...they are Green & Lush.....

Nice and thank you guys i really do appreciate it

With out you there would be no views or replies
Just glad that it has gone where it has
Im glad to see its trucking along who knows where it may lead

Like BH said a few pages back. Its a good place to come and get info
you see people post seedlings and then come back with sexy looking plants
Ive seen the water technique being used by several growers now
as well as i am starting to see more tiered systems.

This is what its all about providing the info for them to get proper care.
And getting nice results in the end.

Keep up the good work guys and Karma sent to all

Is that one from TH's forum...I recognise it.
The DC doms on the last run started to do the tric/twist/leaf edge..
But I took them down because of the salts damage...

grats on the new record to FullD

A nice layer of perlite on the top of the soil should put the halt to them
also you can use small pea gravel to put an end to them too.

One way i attack them is i cut a slit in a paper plate and flip it upside down
place the stem in the slit itll it gets centered and press towards the soil.
It has worked for me a few times to irradicate the problem
i too see them from time to time using teas.

Also i use a natural defense in the box, aphid assassins
or aka Spiders. If i see a spider ill toss them in the box
they hurt nothing and take care of pests, in the spring ill through in some lady bugs

The dog cat watching...
I think they just do it to torment her...

heres mine after the chop lads im quite impressed looks like a bit

No, i had that one in my links of research after i started hearing you talk about DC back when i first started my thread over at the other site. I had to figure out what all the buzz was about this Deep Chunk. Then i saw that and a few others and i had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Such a beautiful "freak" if you will. And i hate to hear that you had to throw the others out but....i have my fingers AND toes crossed that you see it again. Cause i would love to see it

Sounds like a Plan Man......
It will be Interesting to watch.

BTW..don't fear the 8's...
hit her with a Strong defined male of either 7 or 9 for 2 generations and it will probably Click her over.

budolski..can I come sleep in your cupboard.....

First time I harvested..I was told to stick everything in ladies tights/panty hose..
so I packed it all up and stuck it on the radiators...
come 4pm when the heating kicked in..
I Swear..the smell must have lifted the roof about 10 ft..
If I'd opened the door..you would have smelled it down your place....
it seemed to permeate everything.
Had to meet the postman at the bottom of the road for a week.

Good Luck m8..dying to hear what you think when you Test her....

small tip...Fill the Fridge....she looks like she will have horiffic munchies.

man, I think I got some fungus gnats, small black ones, some of them are getting naughty too. do yellow sticky traps really work? I also read a chunk of raw potatoes attract larvae. I'm keeping humidity low and the soil dry up. the horrors of organics

Click to expand...

I had a horrible fungus gnat problem with my last outing. They are little bastards to get rid of. I started trying to cover the top of my soil with a layer of sand. It worked well enough but it was washing into the soil to easily. I now use a fine pea gravel to cover the surface of the soil. It definitely helps keep them in check. When they were bad I was cutting flystrips into 1' pieces and putting them in the pot

Wow, Take a break for a minute or two and this thread will leave you behind

BTW..I left the camera outdoor yesterday..-1C...Flattened the battery completely..
so my date is out 'til I re-set.

I'll catch up with my mails Shortly.

Getting wrong for sitting yapping here all day....heigh-ho....

BTW teflondummy...for my air.
I buffer 50 ltrs in a half sized bin..and bubble for a couple of hours to make sure it is well mixed.
Then I scoop a watering can in the morning..pop the bubbles in while I take the dog out..
(1-2 hours..)
and water from there.

BTW..FullD..my aerated pot germs have just shown their heads..so they are on soil bubbling.
Fingers Crossed.

Well i must say that they look fantastic. Im sure that she is smiling down on this one. She loved to chew leaves and im sure that she would devour those. makes me smile my friend.

Seems one of them knows what the deal is, hiding her stuff like that.

how's thing going with the nursing...
and have you got your time for you trip...

Click to expand...

the nursing is going there only seems to be one that is responsive the others dont have much drive. I also think i know what happened to her. I was talking to caretaker as not only care for the plants but the rest of my chores while gone such as my animals and other gardens/plants.

He told me on my last trip that she was in heat, only issue was that there was a new yellow lab at caretakers due to a recent family move in, well needless to say there may have been a chance he got to her in a frenzy one day. IF so it would explain 2 things the size of the pups and the fact that they were to big for to carry/ deliver. Needless to say caretaker feels awful, but it old him not to blame him self, things happen for a reason and dogs in heat are hard to control anywy. It just sucks that this was the entire outcome of the whole thing.

Not sure when the trip is yet i cant decide if i want to wait till the harvest or not. I know i have someone to take care of them but i kinda want to watch these. if they color up i want to watch the progression, cause ill be ticked if i miss something like that lol
Plus i have to line it up with LadyD's vacation time. I am able to work from anywhere

BTW..I left the camera outdoor yesterday..-1C...Flattened the battery

careful my friend that can be hard on them. If i left mine out at that it would be toast period, its crazy the more you spend the more fragile they are seems like it should be the other way.

BTW..FullD..my aerated pot germs have just shown their heads..so they are on soil bubbling.

Finger and Toes crossed again my friend. I have not yet put it to use so this will be interesting. You are testing my theory before i can Love it.

However now that you have, i have three transplants tonight that may just get the treatment. Found 5 more air pumps at a yard sell that need some use.

Thanks alot man! Im really stoked to get it going. Im heading to the store today for my ph up and down, then i should be getting started. I was wondering if i should start germination in a smaller cup then transfer it to my 7 quart or just start it in the 7 quart pot? Ive germinated a ton of bagseeds for practice using the paper towel and bag method (the only way ive tried as well).

It is best to start them where they will finish. That being said sometimes transplant is necessary. Treat it like brain surgery if you do need to do it, clean hands and area, and a light touch. I still use the paper towel method, but I have just started them in soil

Thanks allot man. I really couldn't have done it without you guys.
Those bushmasters you have going over there are very impressive. Viva la vinegar!

I woke up this morning with this incredibly sweet green smell emitting from outside my cab. Looks like I need to get on this odor control situation.

just found a 6 on a (have a guess) male, unlike the 8 this has the split down the middle and all the way down the stem, almost 2 3's but more like a 7 with the middle sliced in two!

Cut and Keep post....

QUICK GUIDE to growing GOOD AF's.

Mossys K.I.S.S.....

(Keep. It. Simple. Stupid...)

2 days Before you germ..
put seed in a gentle heat for 2 days to make sure they are dry..

Get potting compost US..universal compost..Europe.
Minimum pot Depth 12 inches..
(or see FullD's guide on "how to grow Fat Bitches in small pots"...)

The day before you germ..
Loosely fill pot with compost..do Not firm down.
Tap the bottom of the pot on something solid a couple of times and the compo will find a level.
Water it and place somewhere warm.

Germ day.
Put the seed in the pot and lightly cover with about 1/4 inch compo.
Lightly water the fresh layer of compo.

Leave somewhere Dark and Warm.
They don't need light until they break through.

Day 10-14
they are going to need a dilute feed...just to help them sex.
1 teaspoon..5 ml sugar diluted in 1 pint of water will do it.
If you want to get technical...50% strength canna VEG fert..or 50% tomato veg food fert.

Do not over fertilise.

After Sex..
2 days after they sex they will be hungry..
give them 50% dilute canna Flower fert..or 50% tomato fruit fert.

Only feed them Once a week.
Makes around 5 or 6 feeds in their lives.

1 week Before expected harvest time...
change to Plain water for every watering.
