Hatch's Hootenanny of Horticulture

[HatchBrew]

Got an eye on those Bogglegums, if i remember correctly thats Bogbubble x NL, i was thinking about using the pure bubblemgum bogbubble to breed with, you got any plans to use the bogglegum pollen? i would LOVE some of that!

and how the hell are you flowering already? are you close to the equator or something? we still got a good month of veg in Norcal...

Bog Bogglegum = bogbubble x nl#5

Yeah all those gum ladies are getting gum pollen on them.

I'm flowering already because, the plants are ready to get it going. They care about spreading Harvey out over some time. Such considerate plants.
Had some revert last month (Sour trax, purps x PCK, & Sparkle Fruit Bush), but seems like these are getting down to getting it on. They've been on natural light cycle since May's new moon. Not everyone is starting to bud, just those ones. The rest will start next month like normal plants. I'm in Norcal too.

ugh your telling me.. im bout to head to my garden for a full day of work, and tomorrow too, i could tell last night today was ognna be MAD HOT! it was like 80 degrees last nigth in oakland, that NEVER happens..

luckily my plot as a work area right next to it thats shaded, so i can just run back and forth like a cockroach to stay out of the sun lol

weird early flowering plants you got there, i didnt realize that plants that flower early will finish early also, i always assumed they just revegged and got the 3 blade funk before finishing in October like everything else...

wouldnt want to be doing anything else thou

 

[HatchBrew]

It'll probably hit 105 here today. Yeah i hear ya that it never cooled down! I get up early and get all my stuff down by noon. Then put in some evening hours too. Got a big patio, but it has a metal roof, so it is usually hotter by afternoon than out under the trees.

Some already did the 3 finger funk out.
if they're flowering and keep flowering than I imagine that they'll finish up early. Or they could get stressed out and stall for weeks than reveg and then start flowering... IDK what is going to happen, but hoping that they stick with it~~!!

Lol.... Big Leafing! Sounds so wrong yet everybody does it.

 

[HatchBrew]

Sprayed last night with last of my Pyganic...Damn. & the local place just raised the price by $30!! Online I go!

Top dressing with EWC and finishing up a couple more interior/lower cleanings.

Clones are look good. Almost everything is in clone form except the ACDC xHB & AFXBD. Which got LST'd over the other day! WOot woOt.

FUCK YEAH.

I lost my Black Cherry Soda. Want to get her back.

Crew clowning:

North Side

Will get back there today and get some individual pics. Grabbed these from behind the fence. didn't feel like opening it up to everyone (chicken, bunnies, dog, littles).

Looks beautiful hatch. Does the dog ever go for the bunnies

 

[HatchBrew]

impromptu BT spraying. Found a couple douche bags eating some tomato leaves. Last meal critter bugs.

 

[HatchBrew]

Bear? Oh no. He's mostly jealous of them because they have his old crate. Would think he'd go after the chickens (used to eat whole chicken carcasses when he was younger) but he lets them walk over him.

Hey hatch i was curious about your pest control. Do you use pyganic, neem, and bt? What are the advantages of pyganic? It seems a little pricey.

 

[HatchBrew]

Pyganic- pricey but effective. Lasted a long time. Use 25 ml at a time, goes for awhile. Good for knocking them back if they get ahold. Use it monthly. Paid 175$ when I bought it. Store by me has it for 230$ now!!! Ass-blasters...

Neem-Cheap & effective. I use up to couple weeks of budding

BT-for them GD 'pillars. Eating all my goodies and leaving shit and destruction behind. Always after some damp weather or rain, time to use right then, and week after.

Use a variety of essential oils for everytime in-between. Then foliar sprays mixed in too. Keeps plants happy & bug population down or elsewhere.


After all my no-spray indoor and outdoor runs, it is great to have a program and see the results. It is much more rewarding and plus no feelings of defeat/complete waste of time. Between better soil, planning and pest control feeling great about my growing.

 

[20sackzack]

Im feeling great about your growing too, I really dig your whole set up. Love all your different strains and pics of your critters. I've learned a lot from this thread.

It sounds like you have your pest control dialed in. My first outdoor grow last year I was dumb and didn't do any spraying until I had cats everywhere. I hit them with spinosad and it killed them but the damage was done. This year im doing silica, neem and spinosad. I will get some bt too but do you think that should be enough to keep the cats off?

The first image in my head was a bunch of dumpster kitties gnawing on your plants and treating the topsoil like a litter box.

 

[HatchBrew]

MEOW! I like when the buds are hanging and the caterpillars are dwindling & spindling down from them. everyone likes smoking cat poo.

Yeah should do the trick, add some essential oils in there too, plus activonate be full spectrum covered... barring any real nasties coming by.
