I plan on grabbing the NLxBB for my next room im starting in a month or so. Would love to see how those do hempy style
Well I have it right here in a 3.5 gal bucket. It's not a very tall plant and I'm hoping the buds will explode soon, by far one of the best smelling plants I have grown.

Now for some good news. I finally found another FEMALE!!! I saw 2 white stringlike hairs....Now I know what they look like when I see them, and a few more suspected females. one of my nice plants is a female...so all is not lost, and I have plenty of replacements. I have 2 more suspected males I'll watch for now, but at least I saw white hairs...on at least 1 plant :)

Hooray! Congrats! bet that's a relief for you. ... unless you plan on doing breeding then you can isolate the fems and throw out the males.

Are these plants in Flowering?

Note the longer it takes for a plant to sex the more likely it will be a female. At least that has been my experience with bag seed.

wow nice and healthy! have u harvested this strain b4? If so, what was the yield looking like? also would like a smoke report if you have one
This plant is in my current grow and is the first time I have grown this cross strain. So, sorry but no smoke report yet.

I would try Neem oil in the substrate to provide systemic defence. I would try Mighty Wash as a foliar for external defence. And NPS in the air to wage a chemical war offensive on them.

I almost wish I had them now .... almost.
You want em - you can have em lol

Mighty wash is good to use up till harvest. Dont know how bad of a mite problem you have but ive had great results with it. Spinosad too tho not sure how long before harvest you cant spray. We also previously mentioned the use of DE. Mix it with water and apply generously. As the water evaps you will have a layer of DE on your plant which dries up the exoskeleton of the bugs it contacts. All great choices imo... good luck!
Not a bad infestation - I will try the mighty wash though, sounds good for bloom plants

Yes they are...just started last week and I have already removed 5 males from about 20 plants...2 more suspected, and several slow sexers, so maybe they are girls...I have Roadrunner in autoflower right now and she is in with the other girls, so I took all the suspected males away too...I would not want to ruin her. I have several female seeds and I hope to have a mother soon. I know roadrunner cannot be as it's an auto, but maybe some of the Cheese seeds I have sprouted will be as they are feminized.

That was a stupid thing for me to say. I know, they're no joke.

In fact, at this stage I would be devastated. The amount of work put in. Its like building a tower of cards, only to have it all collapse at the top.

Really hope you smash em' with the Mighty Wash.

It may sound silly but I wasnt able to deal with my own mite problems until I bought a sprayer that had a nozzle that spun 360 degrees. Its 100% necessary to get up under the leaves when you spray. Prior to that I would put them in the shower and lay them over as far as I could while trying to spray them, it just doesnt work as well. Mighty wash is very expensive when you consider the amount you need to put on the plant, it needs to be fully soaked, top and bottom. I would spray mighty wash one day, then pepper spray the next, alternate for about 6 days straight. It may sound overkill, but Ive been there! You can spray right up to harvest too.

Pics from yesterday. :leaf: :joint: :leaf:

thinking of topping soon, or starting LST...probably go with uncle ben's topping method across the board because I've got a business trip coming up that will have me away from the gals for a little bit, and if I top three days before I leave on that, I will have enough time to see them through the highest stress, maybe give 'em a foliar AACT, and after that with the OC+ and automatic watering they should recover while I'm gone and be putting out 4 colas, about 10-14 days before 12/12...OC+ is the bee's knees btw, I'm hoping to get the flavor boost I need from tea and molasses--
well, that's all for now, cheers mates,
be easy,

Hi WoH

I've recently decided to bump up the numbers in my SOG. I've got a little work to do but i'm aiming for 160x2L and I want them in my garden in 2 weeks.

Anyways, I've been busy cloning. Despite all sharing the same genes, the moms I had were of different size and shape. The larger cuttings I took for the aero's and the smaller cuttings are being propagated traditionally.






Variable Heated progator - cuttings in CoCo coir



Beer Fermentation tubs w/lids are PERFECT for cloning. (and measuring nutes) They are transparent and you can stack them high. The lids keep it all humid and each bucket takes about 20 clones. I place the clones in these cardboard planting things (pic below) that I fill with CoCo. .. stacked like this a single horizontal 4ft T5 could root 100 clones (with 5buckets) in a 1.5sq/ft footprint.

Thx for sharing Moebius looks damn easy.. Hows do you do it? I mean, how long do you have them in the buckets? No lights? The T5´s you are using is that just a normal spectrum?
Can clones with thick stem and branching have a harder time making it? Haha just took my first 2 clones so im all ears :) Thx again
