[shiva82]

maybe a small roll 5 m x 1 m is 8 euros

 

[shiva82]

tape, ties, pegs , clips etc to hold in place

 

[shiva82]

drill little holes in the pots to pass the cables ties through and then through the fabric and sow them on

i'm killing fungus twats years round here . i can obliterate them if i only have 5 small plants with the weed barrier technique

 

[zaprjaques]

bun dem twats brrrrrrrrrrr

 

[zaprjaques]

i will do as you suggest.

I found tanlin worked a treat on the larvae, it's non toxic and specifically for consumable crops.
When the larvae munches on the microscopic crystal it swells up inside its gut perforates the gut wall and kills the bastard. That's the larvae stage, the sticky traps take care of most of the adults, sometimes you might have to rinse and repeat.

We had them that bad in a house one time we were constantly out with the hoover sucking them up.
I havent a scooby were your based, most of the stores in Ireland stock it, it has worked for us..

looks like i will have 4 female plants and 2 males.
the females i will up pot into 2,5liter pots and leave the males as they are.
still pondering about getting nematodes and over apply them, they're not that expensive, almost same as the weed barrier.

one of the males is very deliciously fragrant on stem rub, sweet and kinda kushy. the first to show sex actually and a little more stout. but it would be a shame not to use the other one too like in an open pollination situation.

tomorrow marks one week from flip.
havent seen a single stigma yet but from stature i'm pretty sure i got 4 ladies.

If one of the males is flowering quicker, chances are he will impregnate a lot more calyxes than the others.

A good trick to delay a male is to just chop the flowering tops, to force him to pull out new shoots to flower. My friend calls it "the retarded male technique" which I love.

Another option is to take him to another room or a bathroom, and collect and store the pollen to use it 2 weeks later with the other ones.

 

[zaprjaques]

i was thinking about removing the males from the tent. so far the pollen sacks seem undeveloped but i know how fast they can bust...
still, no stigmas yet, and i want to just pollinate the first flowers, lightly seeded, and keep the rest sensi.

 

[shiva82]

i chop back my males too for that reason . extends the window a bit

If you want to know the value of a male,clone it, reverse it ,flower it and smoke it

 

[Old Piney]

I would definitely separate them at the end to collect the pollen
