The Epic Orchard 2015

[Bradley_Danks]

I always get caterpillars in the Fall but if I spray with ACT it seems to work as good as bacillus thurengenesis to keep them off.

My autos I just pulled this last week started to get infested with what I think are aphids, white fly, and maybe some other stuff. See:


I sprayed Safer insecticidal soap on some buds since it claims good up to harvest and I think it burned my pistols. See here:
Before:

After:


Those bugs only seem to attack at the very very end of flowering. The soap worked on keeping them away. But kinda unsure about my pistols turning dark like that. The buds smell a Lil soapy now too, lol. Any insight?

I think you might have herpies. But I'm no expert.

My harem has been compromised! I might tent everything and valtrex bomb the compound

Blue Dream

Blue Dream

Plants are at the 6x6 size right now for me..time to up the ante on support.

Epic are you running any dream this year? Those were some of the biggest plants Ive ever seen. I remember towards the end you had some major problems. What ended up being the cause of those dreams going downhill?

 

[Piff Rhys Jones]

Everything looks great, good luck for the rest of the season, looking forward to the show!

Peace

Your plants look great, easy 6-8 lbs. I lost my dream cut to the russet mites that took out my big plants last season. I have 3 phenos of Kayas dream from southfork seed collective. All three phenos look to be big plant contenders.

sorry man its been real hot. Plus I got my soil results back and all my pots have really inconsistent levels of everything. PH, NPK, Ca, Mg... and so on. Real bummmed, I payd a premium for Perfect computer controlled results. I would have been better off amending by hand.

Good news is that all the plants have bounced back and are thriving. The bad news is I lost a couple weeks of prime growth to bad soil. Along with a late plant, I think my plants will be a little smaller this year.

 

[epicorchard]

oh and about the cucumber beetles eating up everything... the pyganic is working, but hasn't eliminated the problem.

 

[milkyjoe]

I would almost bet russets did more damage last yr than the soil company did this yr...you caught it pretty quick. Good luck

Epic, do you mind sharing the details? Ingerdients, ratios, base cation saturations, etc? The plants look good still. Its funny how forgiving they are. People can still pull big numbers with way less than perfect soil.

 

[HL45]

Those cucumbers are munching some of my girls also...gona go with organic and then some mantis's

 

[B gump]

Update? Where's the pics?
