lol, got stoned and forgot. 8 tops and 5 more branches below them. I almost expected more tertiary shoots, but 8 is plenty from one cut eh? She got kinda hungry (she has been fed maybe 1/8th strength fish emulsion once, but it wasn't much, so i gave her a full dose and a 1/8th of flower ferts to fill her stomach and she is responding well. I wanna keep the food to a minium with this little lady, i have a feeling yeild won't be an issue.
argh, spider mites have established a beach head, so time to start the war! first is a couple sprayings of tobbacco juice, followed by a healthy dose of neem oil. hopefully i can fight the fuckers off sooner than later!
Being a BIG Blockhead fan, I felt I had to contribute. Gotta love that Blockhead, Yields big, finishes in 45 days, easy to clone and grow, smell and potency is awesome. Great bag appeal too. What more could you ask for? More potent than SWT #3, better and quicker than Ult Indica, I think it's SOL's best strain, highly underrated.
You know I bought one of those "EZ-cloners". They work great, and much easier than screwing with all that soil, plus when they root, they look just like the day you cut them. I've also noticed that my plants are much healthier since I've been using it. Healthy clones = healthy plants. I did had have a few problems with it, but found that using H202 35% and washing the little neopryne inserts in the washer/dryer got it working just like the first time I used it. You might be able to make one pretty cheap, but for $300, all the time and dead clones make it worth the extra $$$ And with the price of bud these days, what's $300?
I've also noticed with some agressive pruning, the buds on the BH get massive. Gotta love it. Bummer is, SOL isn't putting it out anymore. Someone could make some $$ making F2's...
Lets see some buds!!!
Peace
Soilboy...
P.S. Whenever I've had a problem with mites, (a big problem with soil users) I've always used Avid. It lasts in the plant for six weeks, so if you just use it during veg, it will be gone. It is a systemic, meaning it works it's way into the plant, killing those little bastards. I have no time for mites. It's funny I bought a little bottle like eight years ago, and it's 3/4 full....it is a little pricey but worth it...just a suggestion...if your into organics that's cool. I guess Avid is made from things found in nature, so it's not like Maliathon. (completely man made...)
OG good luck w/ the mites....I had a bug infestation about 6 grows ago (only 1 I have ever had indoors)...I think mine were whiteflies...the plants were close to done when they showed up though, so any loss was minimal.
I used neem oil, and I dont think that it did shit....but I'm no expert on bugs.
soilboy ...good ta see ya. I'm a huge BH fan too, and I do have BH F2's, not enough to part w/ any though since I'll be using them for my own BH breeding projects w/ other strains. Ill also be breeding another pair if blockheads...but both parents from the F2's (what will that make the offspring?) ...still f2's w/ 1 backcross???? I need a breeding book at this point.
Ill post some new pics w/ in a day or so.
BTW where is coloradros promised pics....I'm waiting to see more of that hydro goodness!
man dude i feel for you on the break in shit. someone close to me broke in and stole alot of money. nothing touched just a hidden box hmmmmm only 2 or 3 peeps knew where it was all great friends!! still can't pinpoint it? none seem that they would of done it. i am in the dark bro but since u aren't take revenge. i fell like i might be smoking with the enemy but if i find out they will be smoking through there nose because there jaw will be wired shut!!! how can someone take advantage of another person? i can't wait till u meet your makers because u might get away with it now but u won't in the end!!!! good luck on your grows bro!!! keep it growin!
spidermites don't have shit on camel cigarettes. And yes, neem is useful... but remember to safely kill the fuckers off you need a plethora of weapons. Luckily i caught and killed the fuckers early (hopefully). the key is using strong tobacco juice (5 camel unfilters in 1.5 cups of water for 24 hours) right off the bat, it weakens them enough for the neem oil to make it just unbearable to inhabit the plant.
fucking sativa is taking over the garden, but the TFB is very far ahead of it
hopefully i'll have some pics up this afternoon. I think i burned it a little w/ the Superthrive, but she is still going strong regardless... I think i added an extra week of flowering due to the spidermites and s.t.
