I rarely get on RIU. Just saw this old message. Bummer about the hermie. I'm pretty good at spotting the bananas after this summer. The heat was brutal and it makes them want to hermie more. Wasn't too bad, but the bud was harder than normal and the taste was a little off. I ditched my Critical+. It had hermie tedancies. I've got some new OG KUSH and Pineapple chunk started. I've got a yr of knowledge under my belt now and I'm feeling much more confident.

Adding some more nutes to my program. GH Diamond Nectar(Veg) and GH Dry Kool Bloom (Bloom). That will complete everything I need for the GH Expert feeding schedule. have you been to ther website? It has an awesome feeding calculator! Critical+ and Flying Dutchman Original Skunk #1 are getting big. You can see the Big Bud influence in the Critical+. Having to stake and tie the branches. I might add a Silica additive to strengthen the branches. I left the bottom half of that big sensi skunk to ripen a little more. Nirvana Auto Bubblicious weighed in at 38g dry. I thought it would smell and taste stronger. Can't wait to see your harvest pics and compare methods that work for us.

I've been watching the Skunk Trichomes closely. Probably cutting it tomorrow. Bubba Kush and Bubble Gum are almost dry. I'll keep you posted.

Check out the pics in my journal from my first grow. Not bad for a cheap home made system. Curious to here your feedback.

yeah its been going, my 2nd grow hermied but salavaged some, and got the 3rd underway, with 4 different strains, other then that its been not bad.

I had that mosaic virus last summer. It spreads treat all plants. I sprayed my plants 4 spidermites the formula I made had tobacco juice in it . I didn't know tobacco juice causing took a lot of flushes&Spraying to get rid of it. I used food grade hydrogen peroxide 35% in sprayer and soapy water. You can get it on line and sometimes at health food stores. IT MUST BE food grade 35% hydrogen peroxide. The drug store hydrogen peroxide has lots of heavy metals in it. Yea, it's not good for us either but it keeps it from exploding in the stores. I've never had any explode and have had it around for over 10 years. I also use it to improve my lungs. You can go to "Garden of Eden" website and check it out if you can't find it near you. BUT check up online on it's uses and the PRECAUTIONS about having and using it. It worked for me and even got a second crop on the same plants. This stuff it a natural product.
