yeah! defintley not it.

neem oil those girls up. make em oily so nothing will want to touch em.

 

[TWS]

I've been spraying but not neem. These things seem unaffected. I sure wish I could find out what they are.

 

[Gopedxr]

Yea I am not sure what those bugs are. I havent been on here to much just spacing out due to the heat wave. Still watering the girls with just water to kinda take away the burn I did. The G 13 is starting to get frosty and budding but not a lot of smell? So I need to get out the real camera for ya guys!

I will send ya a text tomorrow TWS see whats goin on! I think the jeep frame i was selling goes out tomorrow morning hopefully! People and there bargaining from craigslist! Its like i feel i should be paid standing there hassling with them over ten bucks lol.

See I always found its better to put em in, and start counting flowering when they start to form buds. Usually a week after I drop em in 12/12. Thou I have found bigger / longer vegged plants quickly bloom and easily transition to 12/12 and typically I count 5 days after dropping into 12/12. They still need to be on a bit of nitrogen and I feel are doing the most vegetative growth in that short 7 day window with the stretch. If you every run a SCRog, you'll see amazing/crazy amount of growth once you switch to 12/12 in the first few weeks, but no real formations til a week in.

I just count from the day I flip because it is a measurable day.. if I say i flipped on the 1st.. i know exactly how many days its been... as opposed to being like.. o ya they look like they are flowering now.. .. BUT.. i know what you mean .. about the vegetative growing in the first week of flower.. and if a strain is a 45 day 'er it normally will be 45 days from when you seen bud growth..

Either way.. im sure we all agree the best way to tell when they are done is with a scope.. I just stopped counting days.. watch till they are done.. then look at the day I flipped to 12/12 and count the days till I chopped her.. then I have a estimate for future runs

Yeah, give me a shout. If no one here in the thread knows what that bug is I'll make a thread asking. Have you seen them on your own stuff ? They defintley like the pot plants. I think I remember when my friend was growing he had them too. I was amazed at how fast they can spin around a stem to avoid the Human finger Squish. LOL

exactly. the trichomes are the way to tell, not the date. a lot of times, the tops will be done but the bottom nugs still need another week or so. since im outdoors, i have no idea when they 'switched to 12/12'. i just have the date when i saw the pistils start up. this gives me a rough time frame that i can use to check the trichomes. when theyre ready, i harvest. also some strains r 8 weeks, some r 12 weeks. i have no idea how long mine will take to finish

try googling it. put as many descriptive things in the search as u can. i think i remember it being sorta yellow and spotted, IIRC. pick things that r kind of unique

 

[fumble]

I spent like 2 hrs trying to find out(googleing) what it is.

So whats that. Got a link or a pic ?

do u write everything u do down? my calender has almost every square filled with writing haha. it helps a lot to be able to go back and see what u did wrong. sometimes i forget which day i sprayed neem or watered the plants

 

[Gopedxr]

I need to soon! I need my own calender! haha. I will be posting pics of the girls tomorrow before i leave and pictures of the trip like i did in portland. Going to meet some real growers and try to score some seeds i cant wait to see how everything goes! Gonna make a run up to clear lake and get a killer deal in this blue berry indoor meds. Sooo stoked!

 

[fumble]

I am actually just starting a diary today. I haven't really kept track of anything. And if I don't write it down, it doesn't usually get remembered.

r u going by mammoth? if so, theres a clinic that used to be in long beach but they moved there like a year ago. theyre the best meds ive ever seen in my life. i still havent seen better. theyre kind of expensive, but their gram prices arent bad. one hit and youre floating. they were called natures top shelf medicinals(ntsm).

go to the 99 cent store and get a calender

i write down everything i do to the plants. the measurements of the ingredients i used too. things like nutrient ratios change a lot, so its good to see what youve been doing.

 

[bonghittersanber]

hey i have a cabin up in mammoth! rob and i were thinking about going this summer. drink beers and smoke some bowls around the camp fire up there. its a summer home. not in mammoth the town itself but just behind it. almost in the middle between mammoth lakes and june lake. search for glass creek summer homes and camp ground and that is where its at.

anyway. i need to check it out when im up there. im going up in august with my grandma. i even thought about growing up there next year. start a garden in may. there is a creek right down the hill so plenty of fresh and pure clean snow melt water. mmmmm

and i write everything down myself too. i have a a calender from the halmark store. you know those cheap free pocket ones they give out? i have 2 filled with info. its so handy you can go back and check when you watered and fed.i even kept track of humidity and temp, ph. so if i ever had a problem i could see a pattern. plus nutrient strength.

so handy. so get one rob.

whatever was eating my plants has either stopped because he got baked and couldn't remember where they are at. haha not likely, or they all died. bastards! hah

things here have hit a growth spurt all of a sudden, but i fear its a lil late.

i just did a quick search on weedmaps and weedtracker and i cant find them. i hope they didnt close. back in the day their 8ths were like 75 bucks and worth every penny haha

 

[bonghittersanber]

well there are 2 places up there. thcfinder.com lists two. 65 an 8th. but they have 50 and 40 8ths. but damn!! bishop which is just before mammoth is against medical marijuana. they banned it all.

 

[TWS]

Just thought I'd share some pics.

You dogg you! I would luv to get away specially where your going. Man I need a vacation. I like to do the sierras in September when it cools down and all the kids are back in school. We used to tent camp for two weeks in September every year.
