lol you had to ask that didn't you? The ant's wreaked havoc on the root systems. Ant super highways in every pot in veg. No live bugs or larva in the root zones but lots of dead roots.
Pappy that's right on point about HT, I'm actually trying to start a growers market kinda like your weekend farmers market here in Southern CO. This would allow a diverse group of growers to come together and display what they are working with on a non-bias basis.
Pretty much like WA has been doing for the last 5 years
Thanx bro, I'll look into itthe only thing in your plants that ants are interested in is the aphids. the ants tear off their wings so they can't fly away while the ants lick the excrement from their backsides. it's called honeydew. pretty nasty stuff actually.
if you've got the black RA's, they're pretty easy to spot on the roots and even easier to ID by the waxy cocoons they leave on top of the medium. if you've got the translucent red ones though, they are much tinier and harder to spot. i had one plant appear to commit suicide about a year ago. first the foliage came off. then it withered. i went to inspect it and the stem pulled right out of the medium like a bloody stump. nothing holding it together. i couldn't find any creepy crawlers either, but when i lit it up under the stereo microscope, that rotted out stem was teeming with the little red fuckers. they look damn terrifying @80x their actual size. i almost puked.
not to preach, but
1. DE is available at home depot.
2. i have never had any luck with the stuff.
3. i treat all my veg stock with imid when there's at least 70 days til harvest. shit works wonders and is apparently not that toxic or virulent to human beings.
best.

true, i know of a seed company that won 1st place at the SF cup with herb they bought off a homie. however DrDank did place 1st place with GSC forum cut in early 2013 and he definitely did not grease any judges....entered at last second and he said it was 1k entry?
also if you buy a booth you get a discount on entries...but i do agree that it is a waste of money if you dont own a dispo, and I've also heard rumors that the HT guys just take all the samples and turn it into hash for themselves.
i just think it would be cool to see an ICmag strain take 1st from all the established industry fuckheads. just watch BCBD will start releasing their own gorilla glue soon, crossing chem4 to some random shit like they stole the animal cookies branding...bunch of fucking thieving hacks in this industry.
not super long,maybe 8 weekshow long did you veg that one ?
still has 2 more weeks to go,when the buds really start to swell up,theres some big chunky ones on there too...Thats looking fine as hell unc well done
