First time growing, went a little overboard with defoliation. Never expected my girls to do this

What pests can you not see with your eyes? Op why don't you post this pm picture over again with a new picture of the same area i can't find the picture and tbh these guys aren't going to tell you that if they don't think it... Your grow room IS unacceptably dirty if it isn't pm yet you will have problems eventually that stem from uncleanliness. Lucky you easy Fix, just clean up lol

Right on thanks for the info. I guess there are still a couple of 10 packs on Attitude but the 5 packs and single seeds are sold out. I'm pretty sure the Elite Genetics Lemon Thai is worked from the Motarebel strain since I think they were doing projects together at the time and Elite was selling some Motarebel beans. I have thought about buying that one before because it is one of the only things out there with that same lemon thai in it. I just never usually go for feminized seeds since I like to breed. I do miss that strain though...

If you do decide to get them. Get them from the source. Attitude has fucked Pete over and they are possibly old or mislabeled beans.

The other trippy weed is original Herejuana and I saw on a mota thread he has released new crosses. A c99 one in fact. Reg beans from one of the best breeders I know of.

My last Herejuana x Jack33 was unreal trippy. But not exactly light. I grow for very high potency.

Luckily the only mites I've encountered were spider mites and i didn't have a problem seeing those without aid personally.. I've heard bad things about russets though lol

This is my first grow, I chose to go with La confidential and Blue dream. Basically cause i wanted begginer friendly strains that would tolorate anthing stupid i would most likely do being my first go at it.
Though im no kid, and i am well obsessive compulsive when it comes to learning about things long before i try it. This is no different, i spent the better part of a year and a half reading and asking other growers who have grown these strains. So im fairly confident about the choices up to now as being able to grow these babies to get the absolute most out of them.
The day i posted in the newbie forum pics of my babies with their very bushy canopy, i got alot of they look great, people asking how much planned to get out of them. Then i posted pics minutes after i heavily defoliated them, all i left were the flat tops of the newly formed bud sights! And wow did i get crap for that, so i wanted to see if i posyed to a different forum before and after pics them last nights pics and see what you all had to say about it. So anyway herr they are, starting with just before defoliating and ending with the latest pics.View attachment 3853266 View attachment 3853271 View attachment 3853289View attachment 3853266 View attachment 3853271 View attachment 3853289 View attachment 3853295 View attachment 3853296 View attachment 3853312 View attachment 3853318 View attachment 3853319 View attachment 3853266 View attachment 3853271 View attachment 3853289 View attachment 3853295 View attachment 3853296im not sure why they ended up this way, the order i mean. but im sure you can tell which are recen and which are not. What do you all think about this. ai have 7 more weeks since these strains take 9-10 weeks.

Can I ask where people are getting this info about fan leaves at different levels of the plant doing certain things? Legit question looking for legit citations, not stoner talk.

What do you mean exactly?! Like when people say the small leaves do one thing and large do another?

"Good explanation about the fan leaves. But they become storage as the plant matures. They are the main collectors before that."

And about fan leaves not acting as 'solar panels'.

a leaf is either a source or a sink.

Sugar sinks that store carbohydrates can become sugar sources for plants when the plants need sugar. Starch, a complex carbohydrate, is insoluble in water, so it acts as a carbohydrate storage molecule. Whenever a plant needs sugar, like at night or in the winter when photosynthesis doesn’t occur as well, the plant can break down its starches into simple sugars, which allows a tissue that would normally be a sugar sink to become a sugar source.

I see you mention the Powdery Mildew in your link....what have you been using to combat this?

This is what I have used for PM...cheap but effective

Ingredients:
  • 1 gallon of water
  • 1 tablespoon of baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon of dish washing liquid
Mix the ingredients together and add them to a spray bottle

Don't forget the milk, it seems to help my Zuchini :).
Edit: my bad I guess the PM is gone or never was :( should have read more.

Turns out we were all wrong. Ludicrous levels of frost coming on early is all. OP's first grow, but his "Google" is strong, gonna wring out every last trich these plants can offer, "about a lb" per plant also. Sub'd so hard and fast that I hurt my wrist, grew hair on my palms, and went blind.


OP in 15 years;

OP: "Son, today I'm going to teach you to ride a bike."
OP's son: "Wow! Really?! That's great Pa, but I don't have a bike?"
OP: *condiscending chuckle* "That's funny, son. We don't need one of those, we have Google."


*Kid never rode a bike in his life, "Gold" in every BMX, Freestyle, and half pipe event. Also, broke every record in the X-Games, first try. Even more impressive, kid couldn't swim, but somehow managed Gold, Silver, and bronze in every Olympic event, including relay, which he completed on his own (includes climbing out of the pool each completed lap for a proper start to the next). All thanks to Google.*

The killa kush came gifted from Motarebel in 2005 and I crossed my lemon Thai male from Dutch flowers to it in 2006..should be somebody that still holds these although if not stored properly they wouldn't be good as the strain is over 10/ years old. Glad u enjoyed them Though


OTE="RMNPurps, post: 13217256, member: 950911"]How does that one smoke? I have been looking for another nice lemon thai for a few years now. I used to grow Elite Genetics Lemon Thai x Killer Kush for a couple of years and although I let it go I wish I had kept it for headstash because it was such an energetic uplifting buzz. It was better than a cup of coffee or an energy drink. I would be totally hyperactive and it was great for hiking or snowboarding or just getting some work done. It grew a bunch of small conical absolutely rock hard nugs that would turn kind of purple at the end and it tasted just like a lemonhead candy. I really liked the super energetic buzz and I would like to find another one like it. Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]

That would be a good one to try..I Gave Mota my lemon Thai for his breeding projects..I'm glad he still has something with it in it at least cuz I sure don't



UOTE="MichiganMedGrower, post: 13217633, member: 939371"]It is a bit more complex with medical properties but still very uplifting. Ch9 seeds has stopped producing new fem seeds for another project as far as I know but this Motorebel hybrid was still in stock.

It is Ch9Toxic Blue 33 x Lemon Thai and it has original ECSD in the toxic blue side.

The descriptions have Mota's original description of the strains used.[/QUOTE]

If you do come across any of those keep me in mind. I'd love to get my hands on some. I'm a big fan of that Thai buzz.
