Yeah methods are about the same, have learned a lot over the years. Still yet more to learn!

Found another Sativa Candy Chunk male. Its DC dominant and has a great fruity leaning stem rub. Not as many branches, but its working on them. Its in the front of the garden so this male should pollinate on time if the others don't.

Pruned out almost a bushel of diseased leaves and found a half dozen or so males/runts to remove. Starting to open things up and let some of the smaller plants get a chance! Have lots of females because the plants have been allowed to keep growing, so going to be packed this year! Will get some pictures soon. Had a lot of work get done today!

Hey everyone, Im new on icmag. My state recently legalized mmj so to me this is the first time we've been able to grow outdoors with any size. My Bodhi goji og plants are right at 8 feet in height in 100 gallon grow bags. I have no experience with goji og or it's branching structure,(these plants stack tightly node on top of node)or how much stretch to expect. I have been trimming sucker limbs off since spring. Now I have long main branches that have multiple secondary branches close together right at the tips of the main branches. How would you recommend trimming and how much under growth/ secondary branches should I take off? You can see in the pictures most of the secondary growth is removed leaving fan leaves ,I haven't trimmed these plants in a few weeks so there is loads of new branch's. Should I lollipop them? I'm clueless when it comes to plants this big. Medium size outdoor plants and indoor SOG is all I know. I have trellis on the way ,thinking I can drape it over them during flower for support.. any help man I sure appreciate it. Thanks View attachment 18863156 View attachment 18863157 View attachment 18863158

Landscaping helps you hone your skills to grow the best cannabis. Its a lot like growing grass too!

Happy 4th of July!! One of the best holidays because it's one of the best holidays to get loaded. Not this year though. I was drinking Rebel Yell Kentucky bourbon and smoking hashish at my friend's wedding reception last night so I'm staying mellow today. Smoking ganja and drinking Fijian Kava root. As soon as it gets dark the mortars start, usually until 3 AM so I'm hoping the kava keeps me doped through all that.



If you're planting cuts you're still okay, I wouldn't want to be germinating seeds this late. Unless they're in containers you can move back indoors to finish. The cuts still have July to get bigger without any of the cool rainy spring weather to slow them down. You can't have any setbacks though, they need to get their roots down and GO. If they get munched or stunted or whatever you're out of luck.

My weather in the PNW used to be similar to the UK, I'd want to harvest by September 23rd or lose everything to mold. Now I'm harvesting with mold losses but plenty of mold free flower on October 20th. Having mold resistant strains and knowing tricks to avoid mold makes a big difference for me as well. Local conditions make a huge difference. Years that I've done great my friend 15 miles away has had total failures.

Great looking lineup @revegeta666 . Should be amazing in your climate.


The Goji OG is Bodhi's 'flagship' strain, the one that caught everyone's attention. Nepali OG X Snow Lotus. It's a fun one because there's several interesting phenotypes that can pop up. The mix of smells is very interesting, from creamy butterscotch to anise to lavender to goji berry to more of a spicy OG thing. The purple stalked one I have is rare, I'm excited to see what she's going to put out.

Strange Brew is Sweet Skunk X Snow Lotus. She's shifted gears, growing with all kinds of vigor now. Popped up to head high by the 4th of July. Since the picture I' posted last week she's stacked on quite a bit of height.

The last few years every July I have a strange wilting disease. This is similar but different from what I was writing about before, how new transplants can struggle a bit and wilt even when they have water. This happens to vigorous plants that are doing great, suddenly a few branches near the top start to wilt in a bad way in the midday heat. When the soil is saturated with water.

One of the symptoms is that they don't take up water, the roots stay wet. The tendency is to want to water them more but that's wrong, the best solution is to let the soil dry out completely. The pattern for a healthy plant is to have a 'ring' of wet soil around the dry spot in the middle where the root ball is. In this case the rootball stays wet and the plant doesn't uptake water. The fan leaves start yellowing in an irregular way, with one side having a necrotic tip and hanging yellow fingers while some of the fingers stay green with yellow blotches.

This is happening to what was one of my best most vigorous plants. Huckleberry punch X (Buddha's sister x SSH). I believe it's entirely random which plant gets hit by this disease. It's never more than one or two that get it. Always starts when the temperature is humid and starts to climb above 80 degrees F. Here's what it looks like.

The only cure is to let the soil dry out completely. Remove some of the yellowing leaves and hope she recovers. It sucks that this plant got hit, one of my best smelling and one I got in very early. Had the potential to get huge. Now it's likely it'll be stunted although it could snap out of it and take off any time.

My little Tirah Valley hashplants are looking great. They remind me of Purple Urkle quite a bit. They aren't the fastest growing plants, they're stocky little Indicas that smell like potent hashish.

Looks similar to symptoms I have seen when the ground was wet and conditions were hot/humid. I had it really bad at my other plot a few years ago which had field water keeping it overly saturated beneath the rootzone.

The blotchy yellow is the bad one and that can stunt your plants. There may be varying degrees of that, I saw some similar tip dark colored necrosis today. Getting a variety pack of diseases with the recent rainy weather, and we have more rainy days later this week.

I think you are right, overwatering can lead to root disease issues, so you want to try to water infrequently as needed, and water to the depth of root when watering. Also if you are working the soil to kill weeds or work in top dressing, this can damage surface roots and possibly lead to root infection.

I have a bunch of roots at the surface which are exposed due to soil washing from the heavy rains. They are the only thing holding the soil back I think. I don't like to work the top dressing in to the soil anymore.

Irse preparando los primos pa' lo que viene...
Let's go preparing all the cousins for what's coming...

...Por que se reinagura el macrofestival veraniego "Mordor bajo el Sol"...
...Because the summer macro-festival "Mordor under the Sun" is reopening...

...Una vez más, el festival llega a la Campiña Cordobesa (justo al sur de mi parte mi serranía) antes que a ninguna otra zona, y por allí estará instalado el escenario principal del festival...45°C a la sombra se esperan...(en mi zona, no pasaremos de 43°C)...
...Dice la organización del festival que si este verano se logran superar los anteriores 48°C /118 °F, se sorteará un viaje a algún destino turístico más fresco al que poder huir del calor...como Marrakesh, por ejemplo...
...Once again, the festival arrives in the Cordovan countryside (just south of my part of the mountains) before any other area, and the main stage of the festival will be installed there... 113°F in the shade they wait...(in my area, we won't go above 109'5°F)...
...The organization of the festival says that if this summer the previous 48°C / 118 °F can be exceeded, a trip to a cooler tourist destination will be raffled to escape the heat... like Marrakesh, for example ...

...And some breaking news, about the fire this noon of a bus full of festival visitors in Córdoba city:

44°C= 111.2000°F Ouch. Hope you guys are alright. Thankfully you are near the coast you can sit in the ocean and stay cool!

Put a shade cloth over the plants or spray/mist them with water during the day if possible to keep them cool.

C99 looking good. Will be some stronger plants vegging in natural light.

Wanted to tell you about a neighbor to one of my mowing customers who are immigrants from Congo, Africa. They have a few little garden plots in their 3/4 acre neighborhood lawn. They all are companion planted for dense canopy to choke out the weeds and its the healthiest most weed free garden I have seen. Its all sweet corn with green beans underneath. There are a few patches of squash/mellon vines, some are growing among the green beans.

She said she plants 2 seeds for each green bean plant, and 3 seeds for each corn plant. Her middle school daughter/granddaughter translated for us. She was asking if there was a machine for planting and told her about the Earthway brand seeders.

She was harvesting the leaves of the green bean plants and filling a grocery bag with them. Her daughter said they are for other african folks who buy them to cook down for use as greens in their meals.

She said they take the green bean leaves boil them with salt until the water is evaporated, then add in tomato, onion, etc and make a vegetable greens mix. Sounds really good! I need to try that soon!

I was talking about weeds in the garden and the daughter asked me if I was talking about weed you smoke. I clarified I was talking about weeds growing up in the garden, but casually said but if you had some african cannabis seed that would be cool!

Pulled 5 more males/runts/mutants today. Garden is getting opened up. Lots of females found, and but still lots of plants yet to show preflowers. Most of the garden is on good track for a good yield, so it will fill in well. Some variation in height helps to keep them from getting too dense.

Deep Chunk x Blueberry females

Hey Timj, glad you're enjoying it! I try to improve a little bit every year. Reverend has been giving me some tips and learning a lot this year. Got a good start and they haven't slowed down. Thats where seedlings shine in their growth rate and vigor compared with clones, they help optimize the garden.

Thankfully we haven't got too high of temps here this year! Been pretty decent with a few hot days around upper 80's to 90F. Back to below average spring time weather so moisture is going to remain which will help the plants. We all know herb likes to drink em down, so we should see growth rate continue, while I take summer break off watering and prepare for flower season.

Time to pick up some jars, later in the season they are all gone because everyone is done canning their veggies. However the flower growers are just getting started!

East side of the garden with best light

Starting to open up a bit been working hard to get all the males out early as they show except for the 3 champion males. Found a couple other Sativa Candy Chunk males today but they were a little smaller and shaded and wouldn't release pollen on time.

Found an apple flavor terpene profile, my friend said he noticied it in the jar he got the other day from me! @Heavy Dayze was talking on The Potcast with Kaleb from Humboldt CSI that he thought apple was very under-represented in the cannabis strains he has seen. Found it right here!

5 gallon containers got to love them. Thats why they call it pot! All pretty uniform and getting lots of tops! Should yield well, just keep the watering up once they get big!

I like that Tirah Valley hashplant, very indica dominant similar to Deep Chunk. Where did you get that?

Matthew 13:18-23 NKJV

The Parable of the Sower Explained​

18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

The seeds came from @Landrace Warden . I also got Hunar Valley Gilgit green and purple seeds from him, a mountain cultivar from northern Pakistan. Here's a link to his page on Seedsman. I notice there's no Tirah Valley stock (actually nothing in stock) but Seedsman isn't the only place you can find him stuff.

I got to know him on Instagram. Posted pictures of his adventures going to out of the way places to find and preserve interesting hashplant type landraces. Tirah Valley has always been an important area for hashish making. They breed their own strains and import seed from other grow areas so there's a lot of variation between strains. Like you said it's similar to Deep Chunk and other short squat hashplants, has a wonderful blonde hashish smell. They also remind me of the old purple Kush varieties, Purple Urkle for example, although we'll see if they turn purple during flowering.

Head high by the 4th of July is a good thing. The long days mean everything is going off, they're noticeably bigger every day. I've been feeding them quite a bit. Here's a look at my Moroccan Kush, seeds from a grower in Michigan.

And a look at my purple Goji OG F2. For a long time she didn't look like much. Getting taller but basically a stick without much branching. Now she's bushing out and the leaves are getting big. Looks like a different plant from a couple weeks ago.
