ZigZagZane's 09 SoCal outdoor medical grow w/PICS

[nraged]

THis is what I use http://www.amazon.com/Green-Light-Organic-Control-Spinosad/dp/B000BO8XZO/ref=dp_cp_ob_hi_title_1. It replaces BT caterpillar killer and is organic also. You can get it at OCFS.

I just read a article that says spinosad does work great for controlling population another alternative is BTK in dust form wich can be foilar sprayed on plants. More organic alternatives being Neem and Just Insecticidal soaps

Im glad to get all these responses about this topic, thank you all! But I think im just gonna keep using neem during veg...and then during flowering im gonna get a shitload of praying mantis's...also ...like I said, I have faith in these lizards I see grown ones and tiny baby ones, so they must be thriving ...they just love my property for some reason....

I use the praying mantis and they do keep the population down. Last week we found 3 caterpillars in our garden and was forced to spray the Safer Caterpillar Killer, now I've lost the mantis population and still have caterpillars? Uggh! Almost forgot, how goes the Durban plant did it sex yet?

Yeah I have seen no caterpillars yet, just grasshoppers...but thats coo i'll definitely get some praying mantises, and the durban, Im pretty sure its a female, not 100% though, I think im seeing pistils but they are tiny....

 

[Dr. Greenhorn]

that durbans gonna be a beast!

 

[Boulderheads]

Hell yeah Zig, what the doc said, that durban is going to be beasty. Best of luck with your pest problems. So far so good for me as pests go. Just started seeing my pistils last week, so I guess now is the time to keep a watchful eye out. Keep up the awesome work bro, it will def pay off in oct.

Congrats on the pistils bro...and I hope you continue to get lucky w/pests...I know im lucky, nature seems to be takin care of the bugs right now...these lizards are going to work! like 4 scurry away whenever I go to water my girls...its awesome

 

[Zig Zag Zane]

Got the last durban poison transplanted today...it's in the spot that used to have a 1 ft tall purple widow that flowered early, went hermi, and got root rot ...so that got yanked lol anyways here's some just more unnecessary pics a took today

[Papi Chingon]

i love this thread!! watching these ladies grow is simply AWESOME!

 

[Papi Chingon]

Use a magnifying glass. My last sativa to show gender the pistals were so small. In the begining the Hijak was small too. If the calyx has a stem its a boy.

Yeah but like I said these durbans are odd, even Fdd said so...they do have a lil stem at the nodes, but no sacs, just more tiny fan leaves...anyways i'll continue to look, but im really leaning towards female for the big durban..I think I saw super small pistils like you said....

Sure bro Ill put a pic up exclusively of the Hollands hope...its the one thats smashed in between the other big two...its kinda grown around the other two...it isnt very wide...but its got all these tall tops

 

[Zig Zag Zane]

Really liked this strain, it coulda performed even better though if I hadnt spaced the girls so close together...its the one in the middle.....
heres before and after

 

[fdd2blk]

nice bushes.

 

[Dr. Greenhorn]

here buddy, maybe this can help you out. I had a hard time telling sex with this one,,if yours look anything like this, your good to go

 

[Zig Zag Zane]

I appreciate your help Greenhorn, but my durbans just dont look like normal pre-sexes...Ive seen plenty of males, so I know what males look like when the sacs are just beginning to form, and it doesnt look like it on my durbans, but , also there are no pistils that I can be sure of, it is very weird... but dont worry fellas, flowering is coming soon, and they will be forced to definitively show sex

 

[Dr. Greenhorn]

man, you even got me frustated with em like thier my own!! heheheh sorry bro.. females baby!! hahahaha

 

[Dr. Greenhorn]

you should cut a clone for your next grow
