Freedom 35

If its only the tops of leaves I think thrips. But I consider those to be quite "big" and also obvious. Thrips leave black dot turds.

i just went through a battle with thrips . they're longer bodied & white , fast moving little fuckers too . if yours are slow & black , i doubt its thrips .

man i havent seen any thrips but the damage is very similar to the lightly damaged leaf in onas pic. ill get into them real good tomorrow and sort it out. i cant imagine seeing the damage here and there and no actual thrips. the little black dots could have easily been dookie. thanks for the feedback guys...

vp - no cycle timer, think it took 2.5 gals of water i dont have a way to check or alter ph so i just tossed like 8ml clonex in and let her rip. was the first run so i didnt clean it yet. just rinsed it out and ran it overnight before i loaded it. but ill take all the extra stuff off the pump (for good) as a friend pointed out to me just today. then ill scrub a dub with something, the jury is out on what exactly. i guess thats what you wanna know right? i had bad luck keeping the pumps clean forever ago, but for 100% in 9 days with the kind of start that saves me a week or two... ill spend 80$ to have that shipped to my door every round if i have to. i mean i hate how wasteful that would be but i dont have a lot of stuff i need to buy every round. hardly anything. so if i look at it that way, whatever. i dunno. its late.

bmac this is my first round with a cover crop but im gonna smother it eventually so im not too worried. i dont want it to die out before the round is done though... check back and ill let you know i guess!
 
hi i have a question for yall. those of you consuming measured edibles, what mg dosage do you prefer? im new to measuring my edibles that precisely and i know what the "recommended" rates are but i want to know what folks in my league of tolerance are having to consume for effective pain relief. making glue rosin chocolates this week and im going to do about 60 mg per. in hopes that one will help and two will be good for my bad days.

i dont make my own candyu but i grab some from a dispensary and usually take 2-3 pieces at 35mg a piece..seems to get me where i like to be. BTW great thread ill be sticking around

thanks dutchie. i have found that the 75 mg mark is good for me day to day after i got used to it. ill be adding cbd to the equation soon so that will be interesting.
photo update coming this evening guys, ive been slack about getting out there in time for pics. even though the cmh lights arent that bad for taking pictures, its not as natural looking as the flash and im not used to compensating for them. so i still want lights off pics. new flash came in so thats good. been busy working in the garden, just not taking pics. ill be back tonight with some of that mulan szechuan sauce tonight

I vote for thrips. I treated my veg room with two rounds of spinosad sprays at lights out then at the next watering i did a combined soak with imidacloprid (Promis) and azamax and sprayed with them with that combo as well. I wouldn't use the imidacloprid in flower as I don't know how far into flower it can be used. my tent flower area had minimal signs so i just sprayed with spinosad but azamax would be fine to use too

yeah but i havent seen any thrips, ill alternate azamax and neem if the beneficial bugs dont work.

I know Dan said they're larger as pests go but I was able to see very few on my noticeably affected plants and the ones I saw I could barely see with my 4x mag glass. Factor in my less than good eyesight. Wikipedia says they're less than a millimeter long

Azamax and neem are both azadirachtin, from the neem plant. I found azamax much, much easier to mix and store than the very thick neem oil.

if you want diversity in treatments, consider the organic spinosad foliar spray to alternate with whatever azadirachtin product you like best

you know, i think ive mentioned before that freedom 35 is basically a success. with a couple years to spare tbh. but isnt it funny how the concept of success can be so relevant to how we define it at that moment. ten years ago freedom was not having to be a wage slave. now freedom is having the option to live independent from the grid. onward and upward mi amigos. bout two turnips in heat here

You know how it is man, eye of the beholder and all that -- I've been telling myself 6 inches is 9 inches my whole adult life.
