Things look ok but actually plant health was better last year. mites really did a number on us this year, although i think that may be a result moreso than a cause. This year we did no feeding except weekly foliar, last year we also did weekly root drenches. I also think the living mulch we used last year was beneficial to the plants health, but have no proof besides comparing to this year when we used straw instead.
2 main reasons reason our plants are so much bigger this year than in 2016:
1. they were sprouted 2 weeks earlier and planted in the ground 2 weeks earlier. This made a huge difference in their ability to build a big frame before flowering set in.
2. genetics this year are monsters. mostly growing my own Ancient OG f2's and AOG crosses which I bred for size and yeild, plus a few other strains from different breeders which are known to get big, like the Kaya's Dream from south fork.
Next year I plan to smash all my previous seasons by combining all the things i have learned... early start, monster genetics, big soil, proper feeding, good support...
i took the pictures just havent uploaded them yet. it's really a horrorshow seeing how bad the mite infestation is on the native plants
thanks man ! hope your season goes well. peacePicture of the month right there! Every year just gets better and better. Inspirational.

we have never confirmed russet mites at this property before this season. I have plenty of experience with spider mites from growing indoors for years. I am well aware of what improvements should be made in our IPM program next year. is that why you are asking?
thanks! yah i'm really happy with some of our plants this year, definitely some of the biggest plants i have ever seen. Some of the AOG's are over 15 feet wide. I will be sure take plenty of macros! My favorite AOG f2 phenos are all purple-stemmed stretchy ones... they are huge and perky and smell/look tremendous.looks like biggest yet shrews , bravo ....... the width is insane .....lots nice AOG flowers pics this year please ......i,d love to compare pheno,s in yours to mine . also since your savvy on what pheno,s are the nicer , if you could mention also .

I'm not planning to make any s1's but will definitely do some f3's and backcrosses with the best females
some of the Sprites do have yellow hairs, that cross is something i am very proud of, it came out very consistent and quality is AAA
If you want consistent seeds then bodhi is probably not for you.... every seedpack can contain several different phenos. I recommend South Fork Seeds for consistency, the chem male they use seems to produce very uniform offspring, with only slight variation from plant to plant.
our feed regimen this year was nothing... water only, except weekly foliar with AEA holomac/mic and Albion calcium.. We're going to step up our nutrition game next year though.
As long as those little fuckers stay on the native plants. Keep up the great work master

My wife would appreciate that. Sometimes I look like a party favor when I sneeze.
That Sprite sounds amazing.The AOG f2's I got from you are at a spot I don't picture, but they are HUGE! Not as big as yours, but some are topping 15ft tall. Those genetics are no joke.
yepp, our AOG f2's are the biggest plant this year. glad you're running them! let me know if you want a few moreMy wife would appreciate that. Sometimes I look like a party favor when I sneeze.

the Dank Commander is incredible... biggest plants in the garden besides the AOG's and AOG crosses. giant spear colas with lots of trichomes and a great fruity/candy chem smell. highly recommend it, just be ready for some serious stretch.
Nice looking color. How many days out would you say that has before chopping her down?
Its kinda hard to tell on mine, i have more pink pistils showing then white. It is weird, guess ill just have to cut a piece and scope it out
probably 2 weeks at least. most things finish around mid-october here for us. there's no rush, we're not worried about fungus.
I hear you named an SFV x Dank Zappa hybrid , Stank Zappa, You have any shot's of those? I just popped a couple seeds. That Ancient OG is huge man ! Looks like one of the widest plants I have ever seen that you've grown.
