yeah i hear ya las. I think there is a bit of fear there aswell on behalf of the powers that be and the "people/corporations" who stand to make tramendous profits, that people wont be pumping billions into state of federal coffers if they are not spending money on there medicine and instead home producing. They want to get ALL the profit and outlaw cannabis growing except to a handful of entities and make the loley home growe more like a bootlegger or moonshiner which is still highly illegal on state and federal levels. I think many people in california had this fear as prop 19 was on the brink of passing. Im not choosing sides but i see the argument. The people would like to see the herb in the hands of the people and not corporate greed. Just my 3rd eyes observation.

Update The strip seem to be working. I can still see mites but they are not moving so hopefully that means they are dieing a painful death haha. Overall the pollen that got loose seems to be very minimal and i only seen a handful of beans so far so im quite happy to report that.

I think my timewarps are really starting to beef up aswell which im fucking estatic about. For the longest time they looked all wispy now in just the last few days im seeing them plump up. Speaking of plumping up the Dogs are finally filling out aswell. Whoooo Hoooo!!!! now hopefully them damn spider mites dont fuck up the plants and we shall be seeing a nice hefty harvest here in 3 weeks or so. Ill get some new pics up when i get some time. Peace 1BMM

Did you leave your circulation fans on in the cave? I turned the fan that blows across the scrog off hoping it will let the vapor from the pest strip settle on the plants enough to kill the bugs. Not sure if it helps or not is why I asked what you did.

I was told to shut them off and have passed along the advice I was given but wasn't sure how much it helped. Nice to hear others feel it's a good idea to do it. I left a couple fans on inside the tents but they're on low. There's no fans blowing anything around the scrog at the moment though.

I noticed a steep decline in the bug population over there tonight when I went to pick up the little preggers Afghan plants. Pretty happy about that and sprayed them all once again beacuse I'm getting a little paranoid now with the damn bugs. I'd have to sat the DE made the biggest difference so far and I think the combo of that and the strips is a lethal one for the fekkers.

Glad to hear things are getting better in the cave too.

yeah if you can knock the fan off for the dark cycle for 2 to 3 consecutive days and you should be champion. the other tip is that the strip needs to hang at the canopy level.

Thankyou Bassman for the kind words bro. Im glad you enjoy reading my rants lol.

DST so you think it'd be ok to cut on the fans again ayy? I was just thinking lastnight how badly the plants need the air curculation in there. The air gets really heavy and the humidity is climbing in the upper 50% range. Temps seem fairly stable though overall.

Donny thanks for that tip. I was wondering what the scoop was on where to hang them. I have 2 at canopy level and one underneath. I dont know if the on under is doing any good but its getting some air blown through it upward so hopefully itll get the lower lil bastard mites hehe.


Well fellas been keeping a close eye on things in the cave here. All is well. Ive noticed that burning a light verticaly aint worth a fuck without a reflector or unless its at plant hieight so ive taking to propping up the shorter plants so they are getting max exposure to the 1000 watt beast. I guess you could say its a make shift vert setup now where the plants are in a tubular patern around the light and they really seem to love the new arrangement.

On another note my electric bill has been really fucking low and i dont get why? Last year at this time i was only running 2 lights and the bills where nearly 250 - 300. Now im running 3 and alot more gadgets and getting bills at 170 range. Im not complaining lol just weird how that works sometimes lol. I may just add my other 600 for the last few weeks and really blast em with lumens lol. Peace 1BMM

Alright here we go fellas. The latest from the cave at day 50 flower

Im cheating a little bit with a 1000 watter in the mix sos please forgive this diehard club 600 watter hahaha.

Ok on to the pics.

First up is the hydro Dogs




The Dogs are doing really well in the hydro system. They are really starting to bulk up and i had to get my ass all the way in to the back to tie up tons of branches that cant support their own weight anymore. Jezz lousie they are sticky as a mofo. Im literally covered from the neck down in thc from rubbing against the branches. These have 2-3 weeks to go yet.

Same shot diffrent light

Keeping the hydro plants upright in the buckets has become a daily chore. They tip over alot lately.


Hot Shot no pest strips hanging about all over in the room. Just below it is a soil Dog Kush starting to get its mojo on. The pest strips along with an organic mite killer seem to be keeping the spidermites in check.


Another view with some light.


3 Dogs in 1 soil pot. Im kinda suprised how well they get along together in the same pot.




These are my 2 Grape Apes.


Heres Headband 2 that seems to have the worst spidermite problems of all the plants. This one here has been getting alot of extra attention.


Headband 1 doing ok. Not a very large plant for as long as i vegged. But she smell delicious Thankyou rasta fairy

On to the Timewarps

She's kinda clustered in but this is my mini TW. The smallest of the 3 phenos and not at all a large yeilder from the looks of things.



Heres TW mertha the medium sized pheno. Bulking up a lil better than mini.



And this is the big gal TW Bertha.

While the TW is some good smoke i think there really is a reason some strains are labled outdoor only and this is one of em. They just dont seem to get dense and bulky under the lights. They are looking near finished but ive decided to let them go awhile longer yet and see what happens. They do smell very fruity not at all like the rotten armpits of the clone TW i was gifted from a guerilla grower pal of mine some time ago. Kinda sucks but I will be working on that. May get another cut and cross the male tw pollen i have with the cut and go from there.

Heres the cave with all the plants packed back in and ready to close up the door.




Thats all i got for now peeps. Got my mothers in veg for the outdoor season and thinking about adding a few new strains to the mix.

Have a great Sunday everybody Peace 1BMM.....
