What type of mold issues do you have with growing indicas in such a high humidity enviroment?

Beautifull sativas. Sometimes I wish I still lived in the south

I agree with your much justified praise of ACE. They provide us indoor growers with a little taste of the sativa by producing their sativa hybrids.

Thank you
I start most of my Indica dom plants late enough in the season so by the time the floral clusters start to swell the humidity has dropped to a comfortable level with the onset of autum.
I place most of my Indica dom varieties closer to home on small clustered tree islands in the swamps that surround my property.
Being so close I can inspect them every day for dead leaf and any thing that might get trapped into the colas as they start to grow and swell.
I also keep my nitrogen levels at a little lower then usual. Using homemade composted soil mixes and gentle gaunos put little stress on the tissue which gives the plants more resiliance. PH buffering is also important. Other than that its all about what mother nature choses to throw at me. Ive lost many of my share of Indicas over the years.
The pursuit is just as much fun as the result regardless of the outcome.

Cursed termites!
This was a stalk that I pulled up that had been chewed from the inside out creating an environment for pathegeons and harmfull fungus. This young THSeeds Sage plant was planted near the fierce colony mentioned above.
It didnt take long to kill this one regardless of my defense yechniques.
Benificial spiders are cool and are better left alone.

Ive had a few request for seeds of the Micheocan lines I run.
The original seeds of these lovely varieties were aquiered back in 92 through a fellow archaeologist who is from the coastal highlands of the Micheocan state in Mexico. I recieved three varieties from three differnt areas of the mountainous back country of Micheocan state . Out of the three genotypes given to me two were were unstable with many variations. Other then the grapey Dejavu line I believe the genetics of two of the gifted varieties have been altered in the past with the introduction of new varieties being crossed with the older indiginous landrace from these areas. Anyway, I breed the traits I liked and then over time back crossed to stabilize. Because of my age and the endless amount of time and space it takes to breed good stock, I can no longer do any serious breeding, only hobby crosses.
My Micheocon stock is running down Plus I no longer have the original P1s to work with.
With so many great varieties openly available today there is no point.
Back in the seventies, eighties and through the early ninties one had to travel to get good pure stock or work with what they had.
Variety is my bag these days .
Peace

Heres a close up of the Micheocan Dejavu variety in early flowering. Nice resin already. Smell devine...
Sorry about the picture quality Gauwi also in early flowering
Old Timers Haze just starting to flower
Old Mendo, The best freebee ever. I kept this pheno through clones because of the incredible taste and stone. It brings back memories of the best hash around in the seventies.

Some local critters checking me out...
I wish I could have got a better shot of this Preying Mantis. He kept hiding from me behind this Kali Mist plant. He sure is a benefit to have around.
This lizard is hiding from me . They are also a benefit to have lounging around.

heading into the swamp to check on a few..... Tree islands make the best places to grow in a swamp especialy one that has freshwater tides,mother natures ebb and flow two times a day. These islands are created by erosion and tree root mass. I clear out the middle of the over story.Then I set the containers on the edges so they are in the six to eight inches of water which mother nature brings in two times a day.

The entrance..

[charlie garcia]

theys seem to like it and look very healthy. Seems you catched nice spots
But man Ill be afraid of going in there, not alligators?
best luck with those

 

[four seasons]

Yes very big Aligators, ive seen ten foot bulls.
I dont worry much about them, only during the rut season (mating season).
I do worry about Cottonmouth snakes which are very deadly. They like to hide in the trees and swoop down unanounced. I hate it because by nature I am always looking down and not looking up when.
Also the deadly Moccasin,Rattler and Coral snakes are common in this area. Gotta be careful growing in these woods. But its worth having four seasons of the year to grow outdoors I suppose.

My spelling is horrible and especialy my Spanish. I miss pronounced The word Micheocan. I said "MO HO KEN" which is actual Oaxacan.
Anyway I hope their was no confusion.

 

[charlie garcia]

Well not matter how, is well understood... Michoacán and Oaxaca in spanish
dont you grow columbian lines over there?

 

[four seasons]

Unfortunitly I have lost all of the Columbian lines I have grown in the past. I am not comfortable growing from recent commercial stock. I bid on Racos Columbian\ DC but didnt win. If it comes back up I would love that one.

 

[charlie garcia]

am sure youll have the chance to get some
best

Growing up in SE Texas we had to deal with cottonmouth and coral snakes all the time. Plus evil mosquitoes.....the mosquitoes were so bad that you wanted to pull a knife on them, but you new that if you did, they would take it from you

But, cottonmouths were the MOST aggressive snakes I have ever seen. Be carefull Four Seasons
