Nomaad OD:2010

[LoneRasta]

Thanks so Much Nomaad, Yes got the air flow working hard now, with all sides completely open and fans everywhere.

No sliminess at all, We did have heavy ran for about a week, the house leaks, since it's poor boy shanty style.

Supposed to be dry for the next week. Plants are purky haven't been watering at all.

Will put in the order for mycostop ASAP will look back to see where you suggested to order from.

Thinned out the lower branches because of crowding and needed tunnels to get around in there.
Thanks again my man, your grow looks great. Would love to get some of those genetics out here. Maybe on my next trip to CA if I survive the summer.

MGS Horticultural ships out of Michigan. You could probably have it in your hands tomorrow.

good, luck, bro. study up on plant tissue culturing and you can safely move clone-only genetics to wherever you might like to have access to them.

 

[LoneRasta]

Yes Just ordered from there....Lady was real nice, said she's been getting lots of orders, Maybe leave your name and you get a free order or something.

Was thinking of just rolling down to the "D" and get the stuff.

Yeah My bro lives in SoCal, I brought back some stuff for my indoor, however did not get to make a special trip for the outdoor selection.

That blue dream looks like it kicks ass!

Your a life saver, this is the best thing about technology, I'm getting the help I need without exposing my grow.

Give thanks.

Plough: I feed with Age Old Bloom, Molasses, Roots Trinity and I am doing some tests with AN Bud Candy and Green Planet's Massive and Finisher to see if I want to continue using them.

huh. I've got some of the Fox Farm powdered flower nutes, I was thinking about maybe using some of that, maybe once every two weeks or so. I know it's unconventional but I'm about to topdress with some FFOF. I'm hoping maybe between the two I'll have a good enough mix of nutrients. Oh, and adding the FF Bat Guano at 2tbsp/gal of soil. Figure they should be able to take that by now. It's a very unconventional situation however.

Greetings All,
....
The house is 22’ x 24’ is packed to the gills, didn’t think they would get so big. I read about the root rot and mold you were dealing with. And low and behold I feel I have the same problem.
The weather has been hot and humid, with rain like ever other day. Temps in the house have been hard to keep below 85º
There are 20 plants in the ground; soil was amended with alpaca doo, sheep doo, perilite, etc. Growth has been steady and plants are starting to flower hard.
The plants are averaging about 9 ft tall with a few 14ft Lemon Skunks.
Don’t have the option of cutting any plants down because of my setup is poor man style all in one massive hole that’s been amended.
Funds are getting low on the project so I need to make smart decisions with how to treat my baby’s so I thought I’d consult the experts. Wondering about the Microstop and other products mentioned.
Need a strong finish so I can step my game up next year.
The plants that are having the most problems are my Pre98 Bubba from Socal, and DNA Genetics LA Confidential.
Leaves are yellowing on the bottom, some brown spots as well.
Thanks in Advance.
LR

One of my plants wilted and died, but I think because the taproot broke.
Some yellowing is normal, but you've got 14 footers so you must know that....
There's not going to be a run on the Myco-Stop like there was on the Brix now is there? Should I pre-order now????
Have you got good ventilation in there? I'm looking at purchasing some of this greencure stuff as a preventative measure. Probably one of those things I ought to be doing right now as well.
Good luck!

 

[nomaad]

Be careful with the Greencure. I got a nasty alkaline burn on some plants last year because of undissolved solids at the bottom of the sprayer. I was using a product called Kaligreen which is the same % active ingredient, but maybe Greencure dissolves better.

 

[Trinity Gold]

It's more that you probably didn't have the sprayer agitated enough to keep it all evenly in suspension and enough of a wetting agent in there to slow the settling..FWIW..

 

[plough]

dammnit! I was really counting on some rain today. Would a foliar help tomorrow AM in case of wilt? last wknd I gave them a foliar with Neptune's Harvest Seaweed, I wonder would it be too soon to do it again? Probably not, right? They just need some water real bad, huh? Haven't watered since then... 4, 5 dayss ago... Everything else would be gravy, right!? Mebbe even a little NH 4 the root system. Mebbe a real diluted solution. Wow, what a mess!
well obviously they need water tomorrow. ASAP! I can pre-rinse the coco and think about getting more soil. So a 1/2 dilution, but I need 2 get water, too! Damnit! Can't water + pre-rinse coco. Days-old water + H202 + HF + Espoma Garden Gyspum WAS gonna work! No idea how much 3% H2O2 to add to stagnant water to sterilize it for watering. Probably half or something. Any suggestions?

 

[nomaad]

the new ATV sprayer has an agitation kit built onto it, but it only works while resting. can't spray and agitate simultaneously... that's kinda bullshitty.

not really. but your stream of consciousness ramblings sound like they'd be perfect to begin your very own thread.

wow! seriously not helpful at all! I asked several valid questions there which might be helpful to anyone, you sort of just dismissed me.

 

[UnknownProphet]

Why do they gotta be jewish crickets? You antisemetic mothafu...kidding. Just wanted to say hi and wish you and the fam well. Let see some more bud porn of the Chem D!!

Was that due to sherpa-error, or were you following OEM recs? How many plants were affected?

 

[nomaad]

I think that proper ongoing agitation would have probably done the trick. Last year we were working with a cheap-o 1 gallon sprayer... it could have been agitated as the spray was applied... but it wasn't. As I remember it, two plants were affected.

 

[Layedback530]

what do you spray for your outdoor spider mites again? I just noticed a little city of the suckers and want to get rid of the problem before flowering.

 

[plough]

So anyway, like I was saying, ... So are your girls (I assume you have all girls!) into stretch? Any new photos? Have you got the DSLR out yet? Love to see some pics of that Sour D.

 

[Cannasseur]

Layedback530 I'm sorry for seeming a bit hostile, but next time you could try a quick search. Information on spider mite management is pretty accessible throughout icmag and the interweb.

From the "Resource guide for organic insect and disease management".

Efficacy
Neem extracts have been shown to affect over 200 insect species including some species of whiteflies, thrips, leafminers, caterpillars, aphids, scales, beetles, true bugs and mealybugs (Thacker 2002, Copping 2001). Although neem products are labeled for many species, efficacy against them varies greatly.

Besides insects, other pests including mites (Miller and Uetz.1998, Smitley and Davis 2000) and snails (Mostafa and Abdel-Megeed 1996) have been reported susceptible to neem.

Pesticide active ingredients are based on neem seed extracts, including azadirachtin, neem oil and neem oil soap. Azadirachtin, one of the more than 70 compounds produced by the neem tree, acts mainly as an insect growth regulator, but also has anti-feedant and oviposition (egg-laying) deterrent properties. First isolated in 1968, azadirachtin is thought to be the most bioactive ingredient found in the neem tree; however, such speculation may be due to it having been investigated more thoroughly then the other compounds (Thacker 2002, Quarles 1994). Most commercially available neem products list azadirachtin as the primary active ingredient. Such products are broad-spectrum insecticides, which work by contact or ingestion. As an insect growth regulator, azadirachtin prevents insects from molting by inhibiting production of ecdysone, an insect hormone. Azadirachtin is chemically similar to ecdysonlids, the hormones responsible for triggering molts (Weinzierl and Henn 1991). As an anti-feedant it may cause an insect to stop feeding after ingestion due to secondary physiological effects. As an egg-laying deterrent, volatile compounds from neem may repel some insects from depositing eggs on a plant surface.

Edit: It seems that Streptomycetes griseoviridus (the actinobacteria in MycoStop) may contribute some added auxins as a metabolic biproduct. Anyone have any articles or sources that can advocate these claims?

 

[nomaad]

I use Azamax or Azatrol (I hear the only difference is that Azamax has a 18month shelf life and Azatrol only 6- as per manufacturers) weekly at 30ml/gal.

Thanks, Canna.

OK, plough. As usual, you get your wish.

This Pineapple Cough is my biggest, baddest, roundest one. I like looking at her a lot. I feel like they are stretching. They must be stretching. One thing that is working out nicely is that I have found that I can move smartpots without causing any appreciable stress to the plants. I am breaking roots off that extend outside the pot, but we have now moved a Blue Dream and a PC, both in 200's, hit em with some B52 I had left over from Weed Santa's first coming in 09. So... If I need to shuffle the deck slightly to make way for anything particularly beasty, I can.

Shrek. AKA Ogre, but there are too many OG crosses named that (duh) so I am calling it Shrek. Very promising strain. This is at 43 days. I just finished a small jar of this that I was gifted by the guy who gave me the cut. I have a decent amount of variety at my fingertips, but smoked the jar straight through till it was schnibbs. Its very dank, an OG pheno for sure. Resinous and is good strong medicine for stress headaches and upper back pain. Best part is that it will come down 10-15 days before OG and looks like it will yield better (than my OG cut)... and damn is it resinous. And the nug is nice and hard. Here is a closer view:

only you....


...make me thoughtful and thoughtless at the same time. Speachless with a racing mind.



How about nice and simple, they look beautiful.

Stunning shot nomaad. She's seeming to love your hard work and that relentless California sunshine.
