Long's Peak Blue Grow Journal

I was fortunate enough to get a cut of LPB from glad and belle isle a few weeks back and am excited to see this baby grow. I plan on vegging this gal out for a couple months into a giant 4ft x 4ft bush. Going to be using nothing but Dyna Gro products, bi weekly neem oil foliar sprays and monthly mosquito dunks as PM. It's going to be interesting if it yields as big as I hope it does. Grown under a 200 watt CFL (those big 1 ft. cfl with mogul 52 base).

I'm pulling up a chair for this one :) . I'll hopefully be picking up a cut of this soon so it'll be nice to see what you do with it. Good luck on the grow.
 
Why neem bi weekly? Unless you have a mite issue? Neem tastes nasty, it does its job but unless you have a pre existing problem I can't see why you would use it! Mosquito dunks for PM (powdery mildew)? Never heard of that, I use them when I get fungus gnats. Just trying to be helpful. Your gonna love the Longs Peak, I have the same cut and have been enjoying it very much. I have not vegged any of them out too big yet, but should do great.

I have had meds from Glad's LPB and they were outstanding :bigjoint: An awesome blueberry flavor quite distinct from DJ's BlueBerry :weed:

I am also running some LPB seedlings here as well, maybe we can swap cuts later this spring?
 
Are you growing in straight perlite? ...and I use neem as prevent a couple times in veg but always hit em with azamax a few. Days later...if you do have bugs, they develope a resistance to one thing...good to throw em a curve ball....hear the lpb. Is outstanding...GD luck
 
I've always sprayed need oil every other week on all of my plants during veg. the mosquito dunk monthly is a new thing I'm trying to prevent a re-infestation of fungus gnats I had them bad a month ago (they went systemic), never want to go through that again.

I grow in promix with a 2" layer of perlite on top and bottom, again just preventative maintenance and making life harder on any bugs that enter my room. The neem oil is impossible to gain resistance to because it simply smothers and suffocates any live bugs and makes it extremely difficult for bugs to eat leaves with the oil sheen on all the leaves.

I've never had mites before but I've heard they are nightmares to deal with so I heard from a old friend grower that neem is the best preventative spray you can use. been using it since I started growing and never had mites so I figure there has to be something to that.

Yes, I too am excited about LPB, heard many many good things about glad's cut in particular.

If you are in the metro detroit area I can hook you up with a cut in about 3 weeks if you like.

Thanks for the offer, I've already put the order in though so I'd hate to back out if they're already in the cloner. I do appreciate the offer though :)

dude don't bother with that neem oil crap, or any of that other stuff that everyone says works. I've learned the hard way that the only thing that is effective is avid. nuclear warfar gets the job done without messing around. every plant that comes from the outside should be dunked top to bottom upon arrival, than again just prior to flipping.

and I'm just finishing a run of those same LPB's, and I'm telling you that you need to support every single cola from the start with a cage or a pole on each branch. they will outweigh what they can hold very quickly. like I said, the mother your running from has daughters here and I've been growing 24 of those girls, so I know.

they can also take MASSIVE amounts of nutes, more than you would every think they should get. they eat that stuff like candy at the end, its unreal. i'm running an ec of 2.2 right now in the final week, but I do have well water, so some of that, not much, but some is the water. I believe that it is .8 in the summer from my well.

let me know if you have any questions about them as you go along bro.

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but how do fungus gnats go systemic?

The context my friend:

adjective1.of or pertaining to a system.

2.Physiology, Pathology .a.pertaining to or affecting the body as a whole.

b.pertaining to or affecting a particular body system.


3.(of a pesticide) absorbed and circulated by a plant or otherorganism so as to be lethal to pests that feed on it.

they may chew on a plant stem, but gnats don't enter the damn plant. systemic my ass

Thank you abe. I was thinking the same thing.

To me systemic means within the plant. Like a spray that is applied to leaves would be topical, and a drench that the roots uptake (within the plant) would be systemic.

I don't know how any bug other than a microorganism could be systemic??
