That's pretty decent water temps. How cold is it there to have to turn on the heater? I've only lived in one house here with a heater. It was up in an area called Olinda in 2003 or so. It gets pretty cold up there. And I've never had a house here with an air conditioner. Good thing too because my wife would want to use it and power is too expensive.
Hmm, that could be pretty Congolese leaning. I grew out some Africans that ranged from 10 to 14 weeks though they only finished at 10 weeks during short season. They went around 11-14 weeks during long season. They were all loose flowered strains though. Was it pretty potent?
Haha yeh temps here we're 50 lastnyte. Its warm here compared to other parts of Australia. Nice place here because we can grow 12 week Sativa's anything longer than that and they won't mature
You can probably see if they're in the buds if you pry the buds open a little bit and get a look near the inner bud stem. There's a stage of life that cottony scale looks pretty similar to mealy bugs too, just FYI. Cottony scale pretty much do the same crap as mealy bugs and suck just as bad. If you're only growing for personal use you can probably salvage plenty by just cutting out the mealy bugs when you break up a bud. If you're growing for other patients then they're not cool. Your buds will look perfect on the outside, but it'll look like it has little white mold spots on the inside. I've had to toss a lot of buds from those guys, but that's a part of the outdoor scene. I'd guess they won't get too nuts indoors.
That's pretty chilly especially if you have some humidity. It would get into the upper 40's where we use to live on the Big Island and I was still too cheap to use a heater, ha ha; that's what blankets are for. Daytime temps were still good there so you could grow whatever you wanted flowering time-wise, but outdoors there was too wet to grow dense budded plants.
Yeh I've seen kangas grow and kogs grow as well. There's strains in Australia which get huge but there secretly guarded to there strains no ones going to get there hands on. I have e few sativa strains , tnr x sweet sativa and sweet sativa pure. Love the tnr smell its like pure Thai smell
After a months cure it got an intense high.
Jus found out from seedsupreme this a royal queen seed starting to smell like berries now
Ok so i threw a mantis couple in the room & scoped the plant in question at 60x.
It sounds like you don't have much to worry about. You can see them easily with your naked eye on the stalk or in the buds, assuming you have decent vision, ha ha. And I'm pretty sure you'll find them on the stalks first before they move into the buds or at least that's how it always seemed to me. Finding 3 mealy bugs is really minor. I would just squish them and wouldn't give it a second thought. Though I would be keeping my eye out for them so I guess I wouldn't give 3 of them a third thought, ha ha. Generally, the only times they were a really big problem was with plants that would grow big long colas in which it was difficult to inspect the center stalk and I wouldn't notice that they moved in. Then they'd set up shop and mess up the whole cola pretty much. By the time I'd notice them they were moving down the stem below the cola and piled on top of each other there was so many of them. Tis a sad sight. Anyway, if I were a betting man (which I'm not because I always lose as soon as money gets involved, ha ha) I'd be willing to bet you won't find any mealy bugs in your buds given your description of your situation.
Right on, I've heard good things about Royal Queen Seeds, but I've never grown any of their seeds before. You can't go wrong with berry aromas. I've got a couple berry smelling plants and I really like them, but I can't say I've found a weed smell that I didn't like so far. I ordered some Jamoka seeds from Greenpoint Seeds which is San Diego/NorCal Catpiss x Stardawg and it is actually supposed to have some catpiss smelling phenos. I know that a decent amount of people have had catpiss smelling weed, but I haven't and it sounds horrible, but every person I've known who's had catpiss scented weed said it was one of their favorite varieties ever so I guess it smells A LOT better than it sounds. I actually got them because my best patient said Catpiss was in his top 3 strains ever so he's stoked that I'm getting these seeds. I like weed with unique aromas so if nothing else these should fit into that category. Maybe I'll cross it to one of my berry strains and call it Very Berry Catpiss, ha ha. That's the worst sounding strain name ever, but at least it's memorable, ha ha. Okay, I'll knock off the rambling, ha ha.
Really nice looking buds. Did you grow those yourself? The Orange Cookies actually look pretty freakin' orange in the pic.
