It takes the inventive mind of a deep-thinking stoner to construct an elaborate setup like this. I see two timers, an automated water pump, copious wiring, relays, and autonomous nutrient dispensers. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this setup is capable of freezing passing UFOs mid-flight.

Yes, his creation does all of that. He is going away on vacation and the plant will be unattended for a week or two. As an engineer, he saw it as a challenge.

SCC really comes in handy when you need something strong. Ready for a good pipe now after work. The most potent phenos all have a similar terpene profile, like a really warm, potent cherry with an refreshing tone on it, there are secondary notes in the smoke test that make you come back for another taste.

HO-339-W Pest Management of Hemp


The most common disease management tools among
hemp growers were hand-removal, pruning, and use
of resistant varieties (Figure 6). Sixty-seven percent
of stock growers, 60% of seedling growers, and 42%
of growers for harvest use hand-removal of diseased
tissue or plants. Similarly, Punja et al. (2021) found that
the main management options for powdery mildew
were removing and destroying diseased leaves, using
disease-free vegetative cuttings, and applying biological
controls. Seedling growers (40%) and stock growers
(33%) were more likely than growers for harvest (19%) to
choose varieties based on their disease tolerance. Stock
growers (47%) were more likely to prune as a disease
management practice than seedling growers (37%) and
growers for harvest (28%). Fungicide applications, field
selection (i.e., avoidance of fields with disease history),
and wider row spacing were selected by less than 30%
of growers. The least employed tool was crop rotation,
reported by less than 20% of hemp growers.

Disease Management
As we can see in Figure 4, a larger percentage of stock
growers reported experiencing hemp root and crown
diseases compared to growers for seedling or harvest.
The most common diseases in roots and crowns were
white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) and Botrytis
(Botrytis cinerea). Twenty-six percent of seedling
growers, 27% of stock growers, and 18% of growers
for harvest reported having white mold in their hemp
crowns. A fifth of growers have had Botrytis in their
hemp crown. Six percent of seedling growers, 13% of
stock growers, and 4% of growers for harvest reported
Pythium in hemp roots. Less than 7% of growers
reported Phytophthora and southern blight (Sclerotium
rolfsii) in hemp. Likewise, Punja (2021) found that the
principal pathogens that caused the most significant
impact in roots and crown on indoor hemp production
were Botrytis, Fusarium, and Pythium (Pythium
ultimum), and losses due to the last two diseases can be
as high as 30% of the crop.

Among hemp leaf diseases, most growers have
experienced powdery mildew and Septoria as a disease
on leaves. Twenty-nine percent of seedling growers,
20% of stock growers, and 19% of growers for harvest
experienced powdery mildew. Twenty-seven percent
of stock growers, 20% of seedling growers, and 18%
of growers for harvest have had Septoria. Similarly,
Dixon et al. (2022) found that the most frequent
disease in cannabis is powdery mildew, and there is no
resistant variety for this disease yet (Stack et al., 2021).
Sixteen and 9% of growers for harvest and seedlings,
respectively, have experienced hemp leaf spot, and
less than 9% of all grower types have experienced rust
and bacterial blight in their hemp. No more than 3% of
growers for seedlings and harvest reported viruses in
hemp. Only 1% of growers for harvest reported downy
mildew in their hemp. In our survey, we inquired about
the presence of Cercospora, Pphoma, and Phomopsis
in hemp, and none of the participating growers reported
any encounters with these diseases (Figure 5).

Has anyone seen that extra crazy leaf with a petiole mutation? Looks pretty rare.

Those type of mutations aren't exactly rare, they seem to pop up year after year for me. But much more common in big plants and landrace types than the regular stuff. A matter of size and genetic diversity. I've seen entire leaves stacked on leaves. Yours has the little stalk popping up like Alfalfa's hair in Little Rascals, or a middle finger, it's a nice touch. My friend's Sonoma Coma kept flipping him off one year. Last year I had a petiole bud for the first time. Here's a look at some extra big leaf weirdness on a Balochi King Bud.

20230828_175925.jpg


The King Bud is a crazy looking plant, has impressively large dark leaves.

20230828_175916.jpg
20230828_175942.jpg


Unfortunately it's a male, just dug her up and moved her to the boy's club yesterday. The Baloch strains are late to start flowering, they come from 29 degrees N latitude so it takes days under 13 hours for them to trigger. I still have one left that hasn't even sexed. Even if it's a female it'll likely be nearly a total loss from mold. Hopefully I'll still have some pollen around I can use on her. Hybrids tend to flower much earlier than the parent stock.

Everything else has switched to flower. There's still a few that are only tucking but most are throwing hairs. The (Critical 47 x Shishkaberry) X (C99 x GG#4) are still doing great. I decided to do an experiment, heavily pruned the inner branches and leaves on one and left the other one fully shaggy. Hasn't made much of a difference, the one I pruned slowed down for a couple days but then doubled down on it's shag. The other one has kept getting bigger. Now I think I should have just normally pruned both of them instead of trying to be clever. I don't think it's going to make a big difference either way by the time they're done.

Here's the pruned:

20230830_190213.jpg


And the Unpruned:

20230830_190230.jpg


The larger unpruned has always been the bigger of the two, you can see in the first picture of the pruned it's larger girth on the right side of the picture. The bigger also has a bit better smell but they both smell amazing.

The Aunt of Farouk is the earliest landrace type plant to flower. Yesterday I noticed it was showing a tiny bit of purpling at the top. It's smell is out of this world, absolutely incredible.

20230830_181126.jpg
20230830_181104.jpg


The (Critical 47 x Shishkaberry) x (C99 x GG#4) X Huckleberry Punch had a slight return of the wilting and weird leaf fade after I pruned back the blackberries around it. Very slight, as in one lower branch wilting for a day. It still has a weird necrotic faded leaf here and there, otherwise looks great.

20230830_181513.jpg


I noticed a few other plants nearby had similar looking patterns of leaf decay. Only on a few unimportant lower leaves but I pay attention to anything that isn't a normal leaf fade. It kind of looks like a 'burn' of some type, maybe I'll put off my next dose of langbeinite for a couple of days. It's much much harder to find info about nutrient toxicity than deficiencies. I've fed my plants a steady diet of micronutrients all summer and they love it but I don't know how much I've really given them or how to tell when it's too much.

They're all exploding with growth without hardly a yellow leaf in the entire garden so it's not a worry. I like to pay attention and learn from what's happening. My money is still on it being some type of fungal infection. Here's a look at the damaged leaves.

20230830_181635.jpg



The weather has shifted, we're having a couple days of rain. I'm thankful for it, it's gotten rid of the smoke, and drenched the nearby forest fires. I'm a little worried about the long term forecast, after the rain we should have two more days of summer heat. Then it tapers off into a long stretch of cool temperatures in the 60-70 degree F range. (15.5-21.1 C)

This is the temperature sweet spot for gray mold and it's likely there will be a marine layer of clouds every morning. Even if there isn't rain, mold could develop and spread. If the smoke returns it could get worse. Some years the warm weather returns, other the cooler weather tapers into rain storm after rain storm, I'm not as optimistic about it being a boom year like last year as I was a week ago.

That's growing outside, you never know what the next thing is going to be around the corner. It's been a beautiful summer, I have a lot to be thankful for.

Great update, Reverend! I want some King bud! Have to wait until next year. Will have too look that one up. How about the Tirah Valley landrace indca, do you still have that one going?

Looks like summer is sticking around for this one! Hope it doesn't switch off to cold after the end of the month, but we'll see. Updated climate forecast for September shows above average temperatures and below average moisture.

Looking good, Revegetta! Those are getting phat. Must be the heat. Are you growing them in the sun during the heat of the day or do you move them to the shade or filtered light?

Excellent garden Gorilla Ganja! Those are going to yield well!

What strains are you running this year? When will they be ready? Won't it get cold before they finish if they just now started flowering?
What strains have you got going there gorilla ganja???
They are an Autoflower x Photo hybrid of mine. My JackSummerlove Autoflower x Gorilla Bubble bx4 By @Tonygreen. These ones are full season but I've worked them to an autoflower version as well.
You are right @pipeline at 55 North they will have trouble finishing properly. Need 6 more weeks to finish, and the odds are a killing frost before that. Unless we get a warm fall like last year.
They should finish before the end of September anywhere below 45 North.

Went to check the "skunk" patch....man, very hot, very humid.....
Looks like some of theses kentucky blue grass (early 2000's variety) are turning pink....

IMG_20230901_165417848.jpg


These are very resistant to all the mold , but they are getting hit with the hoppers pretty good.....

IMG_20230901_165429632.jpg


Sons o bitches always wanna eat my plants....part of it.....lets go alittle deeper in the jungle and take a look at the big sativa skunks....damn its hot....
IMG_20230901_164708441_HDR.jpg

IMG_20230901_164658033_HDR.jpg


Now those are some super skunky buds, resin production is really turned on....this variety is conissuer to say the least......lets take a look under the hood.....
IMG_20230901_164646012.jpg


Yep you know it....only found 2 flowers infected out of maybe fourteen of these plants, also noticed the suns pattern is alot different (falls not far away) and they are all leaning toward another direction a bit.



Oh yeah, lots of bud worms out...check those sweet spots fellas! I hope we can all bring this one in! Happy cultivating dear friends!

Hello all!
This is my favorite thread on the site right now. A big thank you to all who have shared their inspiring photos and stories. Allow me to contribute my little slice of peace.

Here is the edge of my vegetable garden planted with Zinnias.

IMG_1867.jpeg


I have melons, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, and borage inside. It’s been a perfect growing season at 42N at sea level this year.

IMG_1865.jpeg


The melons and cucumbers are hitting hard right now.
IMG_1864.jpeg


Outside my garden fence I have my hot pepper patch.

And at the far end of my peppers is my very first outdoor grow.
IMG_1872.jpeg

She’s about 7’ tall and of similar girth.

May you all find your peace.

During august I had to put them in the shade between 13-17h everyday because it was too much for them. Now it looks like they will be able to stay in the sun all day, hopefully.

Revverend, would you run the king bud again outdoor? How was plant growth, and leaf ratio.
Very interesting plant there.
