Any Big Plant grower using Weather Stations at home with Leaf Sensor/ Soil moisture meter & Temp rH station? Found a pretty trick one @ www.davisnet.com ....
I don't get it veg n out.....Does that just tell temp or does it get a reading strait from your garden and sends it to your phone and computer for data logging?
Everything is doing really great, but a few sd's and some other og related things have a taco leaf thing going on...?? I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this. Most of the girl looks completely normal and thriving, while a few of the tip top branches have leaves that are taco'ed in pretty heavy.
My first guess was over watering, that the leaves were transpiring as much water as they could. But 90% of the rest of her looks so nice, it makes me wonder about too much water.
It's easy to over water when there is unexpected cool wet weather and cold nights like we just had. I have a bit of the same thing going on,no biggie. Just let things dry out and spot water around the rootballs as needed. A good foliar spray with a few goodies will help. Also using actinovate and mycostop after the cool wet weather. It's all good. The simplest approach is usually the best. Cannabis is a tough rugged plant,it always amazes me every day. She's a bad ass survivor. Temps in the 80's by Thursday.
Happy growing everyone.
Peace
Look into the Control Wizard PH8 moisture meter or something similar if you want to really know how wet it is down there. Most likely it is overwatering followed by cool weather as GanjaRebel said. My plants are in a greenhouse and I haven't watered it ten days. They just haven't been drinking with all this cool/cloudy weather and they still have lots of soil to reach into.
I've noticed the Blue Dream cut I have will get droopy fans if I overwater before a cool spell. The leaf stem sticks out at a normal angle but the leaf drops strait down and is somewhat rigid to the touch. Doesn't seem like it stops growth and sometimes the leaves recover, other times they never do.
Tomorrow the 15-1-1 fish juice gets sprayed for the first time and a mild casting tea gets divided amongst the girls. Hope everyone's doing okay outside, I know some neighbors are having issues with all this rain. Stem rot in June, not cool.
Hate to double post but I'm toying with the idea of installing a Johnson co2 generator in the greenhouse for the budding season. I'm not completely sealed but I probably could be pretty close. Curious if anyone's doing it or know anything about it.
And everything is just going hard. We've had some erratic weather but I've had them where I've wanted them ..So even with repeated Sub 40 nights, our Volunteers continued their charge....
So much so we've started to Prune them and put the Concrete Wire cages on...
veg- looking really nice for sure.. classic rows that i dig.. the dog looks like she's gunna explode with mass branching.. love her fan leaves!
GCG- that is one mean sourd bush man.. your really gunna have a hell of a tree in no time.. i say two weeks she will really be reaching for the sky.. mmm i can smell her from here bro, what a sight!
I am never sure about those products Veg N Out. How often do you have to apply for this to make a difference? I know when I had co2 in my indoor it had to be measure and constant for any positive effects. I know it's not the same but......
Today should have been a good day, picked up all our supplies to build our brewer, got the outdoor hot water heater shower, and grabbed some tri tip and corn for dinner. Things were looking good......and then mother nature flexed on us with a mighty vengeance.
We were off the hill for about 6 hours today only to come back to a feeding frenzy on about half of our mounds (35) by mother fucking grasshopper. They completely wiped 35 1.5' to 2' tall plants in 6 hours, I've never seen anything like it. I'll take mites, aphids, and thrips any day of the week vs grasshoppers because I know how to kill them but I don't know how to defeat these grasshoppers.
And it's not like we weren't prepared, we threw down 14 bags of Sevin granular all around the perimeter of our garden and watered it in, we were told by Helena Chemical in Chico that the liquid concentrate kills bees and we're not down with that, hit the plants with Azatrol (3 tbsn/gal) Pyganic (1 oz/gal) and yet they didn't even bat a wing.
I'm not looking for any pity here, just solutions. What we can't figure out is the fact they've been in the ground for 10 days or so and we've been working in the garden all those days and haven't seen anything like this but the one day we leave they swarm?
On a more positive note everyone's gardens are looking banging! Fill, Rootwise, Tom, and Veg all look to be dialed and setting the bar. Blessings for that, we hope to catch up and appreciate any feedback here.
I had the same experience once. We planted throughout a large flat, an alluvial plateau 20 feet above a remote canyon creek. One week we had 250 24"foot tall plants, the next week we had almost zero. It was like one of the Biblical Plagues you read about in ancient history except it wasn't our food crop that disappeared.
We replanted thr flat on June 1. The hoppers had moved on or died within a week so we had time to bring up some new babies. It was an amazing experiment. We also planted a nursery with 200 crowded seedlings popping up. We used this as a backup to transplant from and fill in holes throughout the flat. Lo and behold....These plants grew so fast in the 90-100 degree heat that they caught up to the same strains being grown in another garden 2 miles away in the same type of soil in the same canyon.
Moral of the story: always have a back-up. Crowded nurseries that can be protected better, pots with multiple plants in each, something that can be used for a stop gap and re-supply if necessary. We learned the hard way and were lucky because it was just at the end of May when we were hit by the grasshopper plague. July is a bit late, but maybe it should become your experiment.
I have heard that "NOLO bait" is effective for controlling grasshoppers... but if I remember correcty, its a long term solution rather than something that is going to provide immediate control. good luck.
The NOLO is most effective on baby grasshoppers so would need to be spread early. Most effective treatment I've seen is keep the grass down around the garden.
