5 day update time. Here's a few pics of the ladies from this afternoon. Things are moving along well, i feel. Still battling the pm one day at a time. Heard about some horsetail tea from an older thread on RIU that's supposed to be good for pm, easy on the plant, and good up to a week or so from harvest. The attack plan is to spray actinovate one day then horsetail tea the following on a 5 day cycle (or as often as the sun is out to ensure they get good and dry). Then, two weeks from harvest I'll stop spraying and, instead, diligently comb through each plant daily, spot treating/pulling any leaves with pm that i find.
which brings me to my next question: how long do you guys think i have left? Headband supposed to be a 9-10 week flower and they started showing the first signs of bud development around the 25th of august. If I'm not mistaken, the onset of flower is approximately 1-2 weeks before you actually see the plant stacking calyces, so that would put the onset around the 10th and the harvest date around 15th of october. But I figured i'd ask you guys for your best guesses based on how the buds are looking. whatcha think?
@TWS and MaiNia - Mick Dodge is the bomb. Although, it turns out he doesn't actually live full time in the woods. His lady "cedar" that they reference in the show takes him in for stretches during the winter. Apparently, Mick is associated with some nonprofit called the earth group, or something like that, and you can actually charter him to come put on demonstrations under his moniker "the barefoot sensei."
now for the pics
