I have always opted for first-hand learning and after having had second thoughts, I did Ruediger the favour...
As for you, Herr Ruediger, you will have to make do with second-hand learning
I can't help feeling amazed with the lady's growth. Side branches length 75 cm.
First measure to manipulating it pinching her top off. Bending her sideways is what will follow up.
How I wish I didn't have that height restriction!

You made my day, friend. i quit my work now, drink a
JEVER(Friesisch Herb) for you and smoke up my last delica 'fluorostash'.
such small things are more worth for me than anything else.
thank you

So i presume the branch should shoot out roots in that pot? And when she'll do that you'll just chop off the part thats connected to the mother plant? Correct?
Right on!

True, my friend! Content and happy can one be even with little mundane things...

Well well well
summer solstice's before the gates
June's been optimal so far
Aegean sunlight and temps (20-30) is what my plants fancy the best
the first veggies of the year, beans and potatoes and similar gear
have already garnished the dinner table
but alas they ain't the only creatures to thrive
I have had white flies infestation so far
and a few grasshoppers for a change
and now I have to battle the first spider mites
thinking of treating them with Spinosad for a start
hope I won't have to resort to harder chems
However my Jamaldelica keeps galloping away
and the Bangis are getting bushier and bushier
what a joy to behold
Photos later in the day....

Why not neem? If not, give rosemary oil a try. 3ml/gal if you aren't using fresh cut. This rotated with spike lavender has kept them off my bangi haze well.
Hello Applesauce!
Your suggestion makes lots of sense but I got no rosemary oil.
Any idea on how to use fresh rosemary blades?
Thanks heaps!

When using fresh material the preparation usually consists of:
1. Chopping up plant material (1/2 cup - 1 cup plant matter, depending)
2. Place material in 1 gallon water
3. Let soak for no more than 2 days (Do not let material ferment!)
4. Add 1 cup of the strained liquid per 1 gallon
5. Shake the mix as much as you can, soak plants well
Cilantro, nettle etc will also be an effective pesticide.
Personally, I use 5 tsp/gal neem oil mixed with 2 tsp/gal protekt (silica). I rotate that with a foliar of either rosemary, spike lavender or peppermint twice a week when vegging. The key with spider mites is to spray every 3 days to kill the next generation. I do not see any significant spider mite damage doing the above protocol.

Neem will surely dent them. Are you seeing leaf damage yet? I can't find anything in your pictures so it must be minimal at this point.
First I see the leaf damage then I grab the loupe to verify.
You're right about the minimal damage, it's only a few leaves on lower branches but you know how it goes especially when temps are up. Luckily not much humidity yet but we're expecting occasional storms that will raise it and consequently benefit the buggers.
Problem is that getting to the plants I walk/crawl through vegetation already infected...

Fun watching your Sativas take off in the Aegean Sun. Up north the weather's been awesome.
During the cold wet spell this spring I saw some amazing purple and red colors in the seedlings especially in the Bangis and Purple LUI (Legend Ultimate Indica) California crosses. Already have 8 girls the guys are shyer about showing.
My stems look like tree trunks I was gifted a couple strains called 5 pounders as in 5 pound Grape Ape, 5 lb Sound, and 5 lb Sour Diesel. My friend said he wouldn't of believed it if he hadn't seen it. Of course that's in sunny California grown by a maniac who probably had them 2 meters tall in March started them in January. Still with the Bangi and 5 g's as well I am growing some potentially massive plants especially now day length is over 16 hours. Some of these are fat leaf hybrids look Indica but get huge. Won't be able to leave them alone for a second when they start smelling up the whole neighborhood. Glad I'm medical can call the sheriff to dispatch any trespassers.
The leaf hoppers made their appearance along with the white flys and other villains. But right after they appeared a green spider appeared on top of most my plants. Not spraying because the good dies with the bad. The spiders do a great job as do the birds.

'Not spraying because the good dies with the bad. The spiders do a great job as do the birds.'
spray with wormtea. unaerated.

You're right about them guys being shyer to show gender except for my PCK male that's been fully flowering for a month now and he's just about to kick the bucket.
That maniac you mentioned reminded me of another maniac around here who also plants in January. He would watch the evening sky and cover the whole seedling in cow manure to keep it from night frost then uncover it in the morning. By midsummer the stems are arm thick real trees and at harvest he pulls a few pounds off each of those monsters...
Medical aye? I wish I could be the same and grow stress free. Yet I need to grow medical to alleviate my peripatetic arthritis and I suppose you'd recommend LUI or 5g wouldn't you?
For this season I'll have to make do with the PCK...
As for the villains and the beneficial ones, I like spiders even have them inside the house to munch away at mosquitos and the like.
Last year I had a whole swarm of wasps in my grow niche that kept spider mites at bay. Only drawback was I had to be very careful since their nest was too near my face...
As a beekeeper I've had a love/hate relationship with the wasps. Like their predation until they attack my weak bee colonies in October for the larvae and the honey. Then they start butchering up the workers. That's when I get the mint spray and find their nest.
Saw the pictures of your early PCK gentleman. It looked colorful. I tried it a couple years back. Beautiful looking plant with almost duckfoot leaves. Unfortunately it was a screwball partner's grow so it didn't reach it's full potential. Saved a few seeds but they were no longer viable when I had a chance to sprout them. I think because they were so tiny they dried out quicker than other seeds. PCK seeds are small!
I think the Bangis seedlings color may have been expressing their PCK side in the cold. The leaves are fairly wide not like a sativa more like a hybrid.
I find a little bit of everything's the best medicine. I always try to have a couple "polio" Indicas around especially because I like making hashish. But then sativa hashish is crippling too. If it's too motivational you can always drink some beer..

Oh beekeeping! There's a bunch of blokes decently making ends meet in my neck of woods
but never heard them complaining about wasps. Yet what does seem to be a major problem in the last couple of years is the ammount of chems being sprayed by farmers who consequently make some beekeepers suffer great losses...

Hashishi making is what I've been into for the last few years. The only drawback is that it requires one or two extra pounds at least to make a decent batch...
Do these "polio" Indicas bear a name?

Polio was a strain my friends used to get in Spokane where strains tended to be named after diseases. Really bad smoke most of the time over there. But polio was an exception great Indica. So any Indica you feel from the waist down makes me think of polio. I'm hoping my purple LUI has that effect.
Bad that apiaries in Greece are suffering like ours in the USA are. The latest science says it's a combination of things a couple nasty chemicals farmers are using combined with a new strain of mite and a fungus epidemic. It's hard to keep a strong hive going for more than a year or two before it dies off. Sad.
Used to brew a lot of beer especially dark beer and Maibock. Found out I had kidney disease a couple years ago so I've cut back a lot of the partying. Doing dialysis until I get a donor for a new organ. It's a lot of work because I'm doing periotonial dialysis 3 times a day but I can eat a normal diet and feel fine most of the time. Had to switch to mostly liquor because this kind of dialysis uses most of my gut as a kidney. So drinking beer gives me hiccups immediately. Since it's summer gin and tonics have been treating me right.
Don't stay up all night drinking and smoking like I used to but having a low tolerance has it's benefits.

Respect!
Read you very loud and clear!
The following written three days ago might sound irrelevant but I reckon it isn't...
" I saw a bird on the wire
with a striped Maori face looking like back
what jolly a sight
while fullmoon on the rising
pale or rather silverish
since daylight still lingering a while this time of day
further away the nightingales warming up
for the imminent harmonic pandemonium
what an audition
The nightingales won't let you sleep in Karoulia..."
OrfeasP.S. The bird was a hoopoe
