Science gotta love it.
I am still on the hunt for the horn. I am making the kids squish them. Gotta instil the killer instinct while they are young.lol.now the little green bastards have taken to my tomaters also. Grr.
Give those little balls of joy to your chickens, it'll make their day. Two birds getting stoned with that deal.
Ours love them and anything out of the ordinary.
^pink pistils and purple calyxes on the "pakistani leaning" Himavat which is (pck x nepal) x hindu kush
smells sweet and kushy/earth, really reminds me of PCK
^ sativa leaning Himavat, white pistils and purple calyxes, smells more bitter/acrid and less sweet like pck - still hints of afghan
^^ nightmare cookies
^^^ grape stomper og x bubba jam
^ cali connect girl scout cookies
several weeks back the dog got excited (she is a pup) and kind of ran over a couple plants, one lime cookies bubba and one glue, i had to replace both, this cali connect GSC is one of the replacements, picked up another glue for the other replacement
also replaced that male with the small "gas pedal" plant
been spraying all the full season plants with fish amino proteins, pacific grow (hydrolysate of salmon, crab and shrimp), sea green (liquid kelp), quantum light, em1, actinovate.... not all at once, but rotating, in the morning and the evening
ain't nobody got time for that, walking those horny devil worms from out in the field over to the chickens.... no i stomp them mercilessly
smoking catpiss moontang doobie greased against the sour d and white valley royal kush; pretty special.
^ Bong-a-thon competition strain, power papaya
this sucker has the potential to make some seriously large colas.... looks like she could go 10-12 weeks also
^^ "J" not jager, not KQ, no clue what it is.... small buds, smells kind of like a bubba but not as loud
i have one of these in the light dep and one for full season.... hope they do better outside than they do inside.
^^ sour d
smallish buds, but this cut is the true true
really gassy, really sour diesel
one of these outside for full season
^ "dosi-flos" dosidos x flo scout
smells kinda trainwreck-y, full of sweet citrus, no hints of cookies, or kush or flo.... the dosiflos phenos are all over the place, no telling what they are going to do, i def got one of these citrusy smelling ones in the last test run in the big room; lots of frost and smell is pretty intense, just not the flavor i was looking for in this cross
there is a different pheno of this dosiflos in the light dep, no telling what she is going to do.
^ chem 91 JB cut (we think) loaded with seeds that came via pollination from a catpiss moontang male
this cut smells very soury and chemy, probably not going to keep this cut around much longer so i'm hoping to get a load of beans off this female and see what comes from them; the catpiss moontang is certainly kind of chemy in an ammonia basil kind of way... hopefully the stank is unbearable.
some more tester pics slowly rolling in;
^ elmers glue fire cookies x sour bubble
seems like alot of diversity in the crosses made w the elmers glue fire cookies f2's, ranging from cookies and kush to sweet like bubblegum

always some chore to do on the farm
got a new worker and possibly a few more coming, plus family constantly coming and going
Got Hornworms? I haven't had any for many years since I started planting garlic next to the tomato plants. I don't know why it works. I think the smell drives off those white butterflies that lay the hornworm eggs. Of course that wouldn't be as much fun as stomping them. Maybe you could grow something with garlic and grow a patch further away without garlic and test my idea? I also haven't had vampires around for years so garlic must work! LOL
actually i've been wanting to do garlic....
i have way fewer hornworms this year than last, not sure what that means if anything... seen more snakes this year than last maybe that has something to do with it
It's not little white butterflies but rather hawkmoths. They're like miniature hummingbirds. They're most active feeding on nectar at dusk-

We have a patch of some low growing pink flowering stuff in the front that attracts 'em. One of our cats hunts them ardently.
Small non-poisonous snakes eat a lot of bugs. Larger ones eat anything they can catch, even other snakes. Large bull snakes will eat rattlers & rodents so it's good to have them around.
Yeah snakes are an important part of the ecosystem, rattlers get the shovel though. Fortunately I have yet to see a rattler here. They are out their though. We have Mojave green rattlers here.I must have a heavy foot because I have been allover my desert and never seen one. King snakes kill and eat rattlesnakes. Funny how non venomous snakes kill venomous snakes.
Rattlers are most active at dusk & early in the morning. Those are good times to avoid rocky/brushy trails & prairie dog towns...
We have pygmy prairie rattlers & western diamondbacks here in CO.
i've only seen one rattler in colorado, out in castlewood canyon park ne of springs
saw a bunch out in SD years back... out in the prairie looking for agates

Lucky you, we get diomondback rattlers all over the place here in the NM desert. Had one sunning itself in the parking lot at work last summer, it was "fun" chasing it back into the wild with a stick.
You'll never see them much above 9000ft.
Long ago, I had a very strange experience with garter snakes at Smith Reservoir south of Blanca. It was early in the season & fishing was beyond slow, so I walked down by the dam. From a hole in the side of the canyon just below the dam garter snakes started pouring out in a rush, probably thousands of them. It was over in just a few minutes & they were everywhere.
Rattlers den up to hibernate the same way but I don't think they come out quite like that. It really was amazing.
That is strange, like something from Indiana Jones.most people would freak out. My wife would lose her mind.lol
About half of the time when I'm out walking at night I use a flashlight. Actually have a good one on my keychain so it's always with me.
Was glad I had it last week. About 9:30 at night was walking around the house to check water tanks and lines and bout dropped the light when a western diamondback was coming on to the sidewalk towards me. Three foot long with about 6-9 layers of rattle, made the classic noise.
Got a long forked stick and a leaf take and trapped him, put him in a lidded 5 gal bucket. Relocated him a couple miles away. F-er took a shot at me when I let it out. In the past years we have found one 10-12 inch rattler per year and a few other snakes, not many at all.
When I was in Missouri we had copperheads, those were always laying on concrete at dusk, often where the garage door would touch the concrete. One of my dogs got bit in the neck by a copperhead, swelled up a lot, vet wasn't really concerned about it. Gave her antibiotics. It was the only time that dog whimpered, must have really hurt. Tough little pit bull.
