The insect she eloquently call "honeydew" is what really gets you. The caterpillars especially because they eat a ton a crap a ton and mold. Then later it molds and destroys your plants and buds. The rain and cold of late September and October make it worse and also helps other molds to start growing. I am really trying to prevent that this year. I have been checking most plants daily and have been spraying with bacterial Regalia biofungicide regularly.
I've been spraying for catapilers every week even tho I don't see any. Seems like we have the same weather issues

Spinosad from what I remember, is for caterpillars. I don't use insecticide, and haven't had any serious infestations. Its normal to have a few bites. The plants can tolerate a few bites missing, its part of life. There are predator insects like lady bugs you can use.
A few bites or even worse I wouldn't care about, but they are decimating my plants at this point, so I've gotta act, something I should have done sooner.

I have another "plant of the day". This is a picture of 3 Lemonade Ceda. I never heard of it and can't find any info on it. I bought some stuff online from Strain Lee and I was a repeat customer so they gave me some free clones. This was one of them. He said he was given this cut but someone who had good stuff and the guy really talked highly of Lemonade Ceda. He never grew it out but thinks it will be a good one. If anybody has any info let me know.
There is one in front in a pot and 2 in back in a 15 gallon grow bag.

Some of them you just have to inspect once a week. I found a 2 inch long caterpillar stick worm hanging off the plants that was chomping big sections of leaves.

Looks like a great product, I used Bonide Revitalize to try to control root disease. Its best used as a preventative. I never hear of Regalia. Looks like a great product! Wonder how long the systemic active resistance (SAR) lasts when its triggered

Today the Max was 103 F.

Right now the birds are all standing around the garage, waiting to be let inside.

But it's about 99 in there, at quarter of 6. I don't like to expose them to anything higher than 95.

Interesting how the heat affects my appetite. Normally I use massive quantities of Mayonnaise on vegetables. But today it's just asparagus with a little salt.

The plants are developing some decent branches, after I cut the growing tip a few weeks ago.

I was thinking of doing it again.

Hopefully I can get 3/4 pound from 4 females.
Damn man I feel that. It’s been between 104-108 all week here and 12-15 percent rh lol. The heat does the same thing to me, i always loose a few summer pounds from not eating as much.

PHOTO DUMP

Growing purple satellite in the background from our own Vermontman and some GG4 in the foreground.

The PS is a great guerrilla strain. Thick stems, open structure and some are n full flower at 52 degrees north on 7/27, sweet.
Some of the PS are over 8ft tall with 2.5 inch diameter main stem.

Dude this GG4 is not made for guerrilla growing. Viney and thin stems. Lots of lolly popping and tying up in thier future. Tight branchy structure not ideal for guerrilla growing.

I have grown her indoors a few times and its good bud but not sure what to expect for a harvest time here at 52 degrees north.

Has anyone grown GG4 successfully in a guerrilla grow or even outdoors? How did it do? When did it finish? I don't have high expectations to be honest.

They are 4.5 ft tall and 5 ft in diameter. The pic with the machete doesn't do the diameter justice.

I have grown gg#4 2 times. Once indoors this past winter and outdoors last summer. It was so awesome outdoors that I decided to grow it over the winter and have a bunch of clones for this season. Outdoors it was my most pest free, mold free and trouble free plant. It had decently sturdy stems and they only had a slight bend from weight and they were nice but not overly fat buds. The Purple Punch I put out last year was also excellent outdoor plant.

I like that the PS is flowering already and is 8 feet tall. Is that how it normally is? It looks like it reveled on you because I see some single leaves. In my experience that can make them taller, bud sooner but not yield as much. Is PS advertised as an early strain? I might try to find some for next season. Have you smoked it before?

First time growing or smoking PS for me. From what I have been told, right here in the Ace threads, you can expect to harvest around 2-3rd week in Sept. The breeder Vermontman hangs out in Ace forums on the PS thread.

I love that you commented on the single leaves. I have not figured it out yet and have been given different opinions. Some mentioned a reveg and that certainly could be. The thing that puzzles me is this didn't happen until over a month after I transplanted outdoors. I had visited the plot two other times with no signs of single leafing or curled leaves. Then the third visit a little over a month after transplant I see this. While I was sexing these indoors after 6 weeks in veg I did flip to 12/12 for 4 days but back to 20/4 light schedule until I transplanted.

Bummed to hear it will effect yield but glad it has began to flower and throw out five fingered leaves.

Thanks for the info on GG4. I want to start by saying I cant be 100% positive I have the Josey clone only cut. I was told it was but I have no proof. Mine seem to be thin branches and viney, which I heard was a trait of GG4. I'm glad its mold resistant.

What date did it finish for you?

Pipeline you have reached the final frontier where no pipeline plant has gone before. Still July and already your tallest plants ever. You have a potential personal best. Have you ever had an in the wild OPOP?


Not sure. I don't think so, but some of those sativas were huge and prodeuced a lot, several quart jars! I used to dry in the barn, and could easily separate plants, but now drying under tarps outside, it has been getting mixed up. I may try and keep them separated this year some how. Helps make better selections. And that way you don't have to hunt for your favorite bud.

Got a personal best garden this year! Had to post it up for you guys to see. Didn't even dig as deep as I usually do. Just spread the composted poultry manure, turned the soil over with a pointy spade and chopped it up. Thats what it said to do on the bag. Working the soil too deep isn't always necessary and you lose some of the nutrients. Nitrogen is leached downward with rainfall.

Got another half inch so so of rain I think so the guano is well watered in now! Plants will be stretching another foot this week. :smoke:

Hamstring they could have been taken down on Oct 1 but I let them go until Oct 14 and they didn't get bigger or more amber. They were still mostly cloudy.

Lots of vegetable gardeners have gone away from the rototiller pipeline. They work the soil shallow or do no till now and raised beds. I still use the rototiller. I like adding stuff to the soil and working it in. I have started no till and raised beds now too. I eventually want all raised beds. Like 3 feet raised beds so limited bending.

How does your tarp dry work pipeline?

Got to till to kill the weeds, but I think less is more with digging because it disturbs the soil and promotes aerobic degredation and soil loss due to volatization of organic compounds. Dad rototilled with the new 6 ft tractor tiller this year! :smoke:

Rope between 5 trees with tarps hung over and tied down. Hang the branches on the rope under the tarp. hang at 4 ft height. Use hunting camo tarps that are 6 ft x 5 ft. Its actually a hunting blind. They were easy to find, at menards I think.

Ok the plant of the day is my little L.A. Pure Kush. I wasn't even going to put one outside this year because it always ends in horrific molding because the plant is so dense and leafy. Lots of branches and fat, thick sticky buds is a bad combo. But this year I am using a biofungicide and this plant is a perfect test. If it makes it this will be the first outdoor L.A. Pure Kush I ever harvested. I used to have another pure kush that was short, dense and sticky but it didn't mold. This one is just mold susceptible. If it makes it I will have to give Regalia biofungicide all the credit. This plant is about 2 feet tall. It had 5 tops but I cut some out because they were all jammed together.

Got a neighbor who is upset because his plants hermie.

He does ZILCH to protect the roots from the heat.

So the question is -
If a Plant Hermies because of Heat stress, will the seeds be Hermies, or Regular ?

It was a Regular female when it started, then exhibited a normal response to heat, trying to Survive.

Maybe if the Female plant produces Heat stress pollen, it doesn't have the Male genetics to be a Regular plant ?

this auto spot is now sexed with all males removed. there's a bangi haze fem [bigger one], and a small white widow fem. both freebies from seed orders, so i put them here. i'm going to lst and thin them out soon. they are just pollen chucks i did last year that i'm growing a bunch of to see what comes of it

I have noticed the mold generally popping up in the indica plants, when the loose sativa flowers would be mold free. Definitely interested in how your test goes. Regalia is OMRI approved as is Revitalize, so we could protect our plants to help ensure a good harvest and stay organic. I wouldn't want to smoke the spray though. Thanks for sharing that with us iTarzan!

Sounds great! Looking forward to seeing how they turn out. A little late for autoflowers benefit, but they still work.

How do you water without breaking branches? Do you have irrigation set up?

That is an awesome patch of autos gp7. How many females are there now? I see you used the Bushy Old Grower transplant technique by just putting the pot in the top part of the soil of the new pot. I do that sometimes. It make the new pot mostly or all root space. Those autos don't look like little runts either. They could maybe make the claims of many autos of 100-150 grams. That works for me.

Hey pipeline your pic doesn't work for me. Is anybody else not seeing it?

I think Revitalize and Regalia are the same thing just made from a different bacteria. The same theory though.

Regalia you use every 7-10 days. It works by Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) and Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR). They have Regalia specifically for cannabis. They say it can be used up to day of harvest. I figure if everything looks mold free maybe stop the last week or so. Resistance should be maximum by then anyways. It can't just go away if you stop spraying for a week or so.

St Patty I don't think the seeds would be hermit seeds. Heat and drought stress hermies are a natural plant defense to continue the species. Hermie seeds are genetically inclined to do so. It is just a trait of the strain. Like Chem D crosses can have this issue. Some say seeded pot is more potent than unseeded because the plant makes even more resin to protect the seeds. The best pots I ever smoked had seeds.

I would just avoid the flowers as much as you can I guess and yeah, let it rain before picking. The Revitalize works by collonizing roots and leaves to protect them from disease, and may have other benefits .
