I'm thinking of mixing Southern Ag Thurcide BT with a dose of their Friendly Fungicide to knock out budworms and keep the botrytis under control. Anyone tried these 2 together? Are they cooperative or mutually exclusive?

Man, gimme a pair of those babies in leopard skin and I'll be redhot for Saturday night. Yeow!

I posted a tickler last year to see if there was any interest and got bupkis for responses. We can try again this year, but with the pandemic it'll have to be outside. Any ideas? Anyone? I am all about swapping seeds and clones and it seem silly that we all haven't connected to do so. Rollitup...

Yeah, I gotta join the chorus on the Botrytis situation. Mine has only gotten worse. I took down the R2 hybrid on Sunday that developed an infection earlier and ended up loosing ~20%. Then, yesterday, I was admiring the top cola on my 8' Durban and to my horror spotted a gray spot close to the...

Crap! First Botrytis of the season, and unfortunately, it infested the primary cola on my R2 hybrid. The dense, leafy buds were probably major factors. Will probably take the whole plant down if more appears. She's probably a week away from being fully ripened so not a big loss, just...

Here comes the rain, thank gawd! Hopefully it'll be sufficient to soak up some the smoke. Despite having 8 and 9 ft plants I was able to get a reasonable cover over them for the coming rains. I'm under no illusion that it will hold up under a fall storm, but it should the girls dry until...

Good to hear since it's such a healthy looking plant. I'll have to try it indoors at some point, but a few questions: Once it starts flowering -- and the single pheno I'm growing didn't start flowering until 9/1 -- how long does it go? Is it really a 9-10 week finisher once buds form? Yield...

Wow! Is this weird, or what? Don't know what it's like across the rest of the State but in the mid-Valley the east wind brought the smoke from the Cascade fires over here, so it'd been like living in Mordor for the past couple of days. Ash is hanging in the air and covering everything, and all...

Nice that you can return the lights. If you run your girls in a scrog and are considering DIY LEDs for lower electric costs, check out the bridgelux or samsung strips. With the strips you can spread out your lighting to provide even lighting across the entire canopy. If you grow xmas trees, the...

The general rule of thumb is ~50W/sq ft for optimal results during flower, so depending upon how you arrange your access aisles you're looking at around 2000 watts total. Your lights -- typical for ~$100 LED grow lights -- cleverly use 1000w in their name, giving the impression that is the...

Excessive UV can cause female plants to hermi. They need to be exposed to it gradually at an appropriate distance else fertile nanners will be popping out everywhere. Don't know about UV causing 100% male expression though.

I, for one, have no idea what you're doing or the nature of your question. Are your plants soaking in muddy water? Maybe spend some time and describe your setup and clarify what you're asking. There's a lot of helpful folks here but we need clarity. As stated above: Photos of your setup would be...

An interesting point and you probably hit on my primary problem. Living in an oak grove I have limited direct sun with the garden area only getting ~3 hrs/day and the remainder in filtered/partial shade. Seems to have a minimal impact on hybrids but different story with the Sativas. Despite the...

Now THAT is a nice setup for our environment. I'll be dreaming about putting a frame like that over my raised beds and growing into November. Good work!

It's not critical, but the general thought is to dry in the dark in order to stop photosynthesis.

Honey has significant antibiotic properties and will cause problems with your soil microbiome.

Since most of us start our summer grow indoors then move to outside in May, I'm curious how others handle their lights schedule to avoid the problem of plants starting to flower when they're transitioned to outdoors. With Indicas and hybrids it doesn't seem to be too much of an issue but the...

Probably should tie off this thread for posterity. It ended up being a successful, albeit educational, grow. The Durban Poison plant "finished" and was Pharvested at the end of May yielding 7 oz of rough trimmed bud after 9 weeks of 12/12. By that time the Malawi was taking up 70% of the screen...

I wanna give this process a try. Seems a great way to use trim or seeded bud but I've a few questions for the experienced among you: 1) How fine to chop the raw material? Doesn't chopping it up also break up a lot of trichomes. 2) Freeze the raw material first? 3) Is there a difference in using...

Spare (free) Durban Poisons up for grabs. Started 6 fem seeds in early April and finally decided which to keep, so I have 2 spares for anyone who can get safely to Corvallis to pick them up. Both are healthy and close to sexual maturity. I respect and support the Governor's measures and expect...
