yeah im sure thats a STINKBUG and you have to make sure you dont crash on one of those they smell HORRIBLE .. im surprised you dont know them, they are everywhere here..i just need to look back to see one
Sensual..spicy..warm..round..rich..oily..just like the original Mother.
She has depth.
Look at this..training...I gave them the height of the patio wall..and told them what would happen if they exceeded it........
Seems like they listened....
Way to go girls..
I am not expecting the maz x lown to get any larger..as she is almost finished
but I expect the maz maz to fatten out a bit still..
The maz/lown is tapered..but the maz squared..IS Square..no taper...
so..I am thinking..I may get a higher yield off her..per foot of patio..
we will see..
I am happy with the bud density too..
"Stink bugs are notorious plant eaters, and they use their sucking mouthparts like a syringe to withdraw the vital fluids from their host plants. The most common species are either green or harlequin (red and black) and the green varieties are sometimes attracted to lights. These are the true stinkers in the insect world as well as being true bugs with incomplete metamorphosis."
excerpt from web page
Cheers vodoochild..that is an excellent link..
WAMEN..I found it in the link..and 1 of them looks like it...
and it says it feeds on plants...
but I watched them last year..and mine were aphid eaters..not a single one of my plants got nibbled..ask they guys..
I was proud of the condition of them...
(except in a late August caterpillar attack.)
It is wierd..
but if you say they are dangerous to my bud..
no contest..
HK..QB on 22nd dec.
she had been outdoor..stunted..but an AF girl. I put her into the cupboard when I got it going..but really she was too far over. She had set her buds and started to tric them..she was going over.
The 18/6 in the cupboard started new..stressed growth..and a plague of aphids..because she was stressed. So I sprayed her and threw her into the tent. I didn't want her bugs in the cupboard. The trics in the bud ends disappeared.the new growth came on without sex...I was watching her incase she hermied with the stress.
But look at her now..
she has just started to put on fresh trics..on the new growth...6 weeks later
Look at her lower third..where you can see like a bit of dead growth..that is her original growth..the rest is the new growth.
This is a close up of that area..and you can see the little mummified tric covered buds from her first "grow"
WIERD
I got locked out....
I had to re-instal my net..somebody pulled the plug..and forgot to put it back.
Later..
Meaty..I am pleased those hurricanes missed you.
smOke...
plus..there are 2 WW/BM seeds..same day same size..
Summer could Sizzle....
pipeline..they are good looking seedlings..what kind were they?
The small one with the curl..looks like an orchid centre..in green..my favourite colour.
WAMEN..I though you were pulling my plonker you know..I have never heard of a stink-bug..we do not have them in the UK...but then I was NE UK..I must ask BeAn if he has seen one.
We do have a Vine Weevil..it lays maggots that eat the plant roots..by the time you see them wilt..they are dead..
they also leave a nasty smell..phermones..but they are minky brown.
Another one bites the dust...
You are not going to believe this.....
this is one of the marked up Pollen Donors.. I cannot believe it..
Guess what..she is a fruity..she has the fruity smell..I'm gonna get to taste it..
The girls are neck and neck..the maz/lown still leading by 1cm..but the maz/maz hasn't even fattened yet..so..
To give you an idea of scale...maz/lown top central cola is the height and width of a standard spray can..and you couldn't put your finger between the buds..it is so dense..THAT is a LR dom single cola
if you look below the can..you can see the first satellite buds..this is them..(and excuse the camera angle)..they are a good full palm sized bud..
well smOke..I am just having to play it by ear..
I always add 2 weeks to flowering time if they are seeded..
she started christmas day..so she is approx 6 weeks in
her leaves are starting to change..her buds are rock solid..she has lost her swish..the backs of the leaves on the buds are well tric-d..and that seed I took didn't dry with a premmie end..
I would say we are imminent..but I will let her tell me...I aint rushing her now.
Guys..what about this..my lady/boy..
Unexpected..remember I had to shorten 2 of them..they were up to the tent ridge..mmmm
BONUS
Guess I better start feed her now eh? If she is making an effort..
All the non-afs in the tent are starting to show sex..iI have removed 2 males in 2 day..which is perhaps just as well..
hehe, ive never seen a white one before.. but here we call them "flying-bucks".. they usually live on trees, i have no idea if theyre risky for the plants.. i dont think so though.. i would remove any bug from them anyways... unless its a ladybug or a mantis.
