So guys, after having a successful first grow last summer, I decided to try my hand at actually ordering seeds this year instead of using bag seed. I now have 9 feminized plants going at my site all from seed. Due to unfortunate circumstances, these were not put in the ground until the very end of June, which is much later than I would have liked. I've also had some trouble with pests on some of the plants:evil6:, but here they are: This is the worst affected by the infestation. It's one of 3 Big Bangs from GHS The second Big Bang ...and the third Then there is my Lemon Skunk from GHS. This first one lost a set of leaves to pests And the other one I also have AMS from GHS, which stands for Anti-mould system. Supposed to have swiss genetics. I had a problems with bud rot with bud rot last year, why I got this and the lemon skunk and the other Then I have two freebies from the attitude, both from G13 labs. I was pretty skeptical, the super skunk is not doing so well, it had early pest problems but probably my best plant right now is the freebie pure gold. It took forever to germ, but its a great pheno, real fast growing Look at the size of those fan leaves! Well that's it. I have them a fertilizer regiment of a liquid organic fert called age old organics and oregon-ism mychorrizae. Any questions or comments welcomed. I'll try to keep it updated every week.
SWEET indeed and hear ya on the buggers this year my frd!! Ughhhh this is the worse it has been in my area in years.....think they are taking over these parts and have tripled and then some in population. Even had a slug issue for the FIRST time in all my grows.....:icon_confused: Couple weeks ago went to clean my pool ....noticed many slugs and thought F*@k!!!! Went to check my grow after I was finished cleaning the pool and sure enuff they were all over but nipped it in the bud ASAP. Used salt and beer near the grow to lure those bastards. Sevin's is my best frd......get some if you don't have it already. Only thing that works the best IMO and will not harm people, animals but sure will get rid of pesky buggers. :thumbsup: Happy growing....keep it green and much positive energy for a kick ass grow!
I know, I hate it. I had minimal problems with bugs last year, and I wasnt using quality genetics. I've been hearing that the bugs are bad everywhere, must just be a bad season. But it pisses me :icon_confused:
Bloom Boost? Hey guys, I'm gonna get some updated pics up on wednesday, i just saw em today, gave em some ferts and sprayed em with a caterpiller and pest repelent. They are starting to take off. My question though is what can i do to really give them a growth boost right as they begin flowering? I'm considering flushing them on Wed, possibly removing the lower fan leaves to concentrate growth in the buds and another dose of mychorrizae. Any other suggestions?
Its not recommended to remove the fan leaves. They are there for a reason. When flowering is nearing an end the plant will use the stored nutrients in them and drop them by itself. Taking them off prematurely will only slow your plants down if anything. Peace
Pic Update Alright guys, here's some more pics. I gave them a 1/2 strength flower fert today b/c I just fertilized em on Monday and gave em another dose of mychorrizae. They are just about to flower. Big Bang #1 #2 and #3 Then there's the lemon skunk #1 #2 and the AMS #1 #2 Now we have the Super Skunk, recovering nicely And the giant-leaved pure gold Hope you enjoy. Im starting to get the pests under control, and the ferts are doing wonders for their growth. More pics next week!!!!!
More updated pics!!! Went and visited them today. They are just on the verge of flowering, some are already started. I gave them another dose of pesticide today, which doesnt make me too happy, but some are still being affected by pests. Hopefully another application won't be necessary, because I dont want to smoke that shit. Anyway, here they are: First the worst Big Bang. A warning to outdoor growers; maybe it's just these phenos, but the Big Bangs have been the worst affected by pests The second Big Bang And the third Then there's the AMS, which is such a tall, slender plant. Its about 5 ft tall now, looking and smelling great #1 #2 The Lemon Skunk is developing a great smell, you can tell its going to have a sour smell when finished #1 and #2 Here's the Super Skunk, which is coming along nicely and finally the Pure Gold, which I can tell is going to be great There ya go. The change in the AMS is pretty impressive. Well, more pics next week. Peace.
Down in a hole, at a loss for words well, for those of you who have been following this thread, you know its time for the next pic updates. I regret to inform all of you that my grow is over. The plants are gone.:roulette: I visited the site today to find all of the plants ripped from the ground and gone. I freaked out. I don't know if it was conservation police or possibly dumbass kids thinking they could smoke them now. Anyway, I am now super paranoid because I've heard stories of cops putting cameras in trees and shit like that, sketches me out, but anyway, has anyone ever had this shit happen to them? The fucked up thing is one of the former plant sites had a plastic zip bag, which make me wonder. Anyway, I am fucking so dissapointed, but I will just have to learn from this experience, find a new site and start again next year. Let this be a lesson to all the outdoor growers and anyone thinking about the guerrilla growing. Security has to be your top priority, and dont count your chickens before they hatch. Always keep in mind that it take only one person to come across your patch for a whole season's worth of work to be ruined. And thanks to all you on GK for your support this season. I'll see you all next year!
Fucking rippers! I just suggested a game camera for shed security. It makes sense for guerilla growers too. At least you'd know if it was rippers or LEO. Those were some fine plants too....feel for ya man.
that sucks man 11 of mine are gone too, im pretty sure it was the land owner...he stabbed my water jugs.. now how the hell am i gonna water the other 20ish on his property?lmao..ne ways i wanna get some gamecams but cant find none.. ne ways how many did u lose? good luck every1, also if u went once a week thats why they got busted ,they either heard u walking, or saw u and followed, or u left a trail..i left my 11 in a bad spot.peace
I'm sorry but I think it's pretty fucked up to guerrilla grow on somebody else's property. If they were found by the police or DEA, the land could get seized from the owner without them ever even knowing they were there. If I caught somebody trying to grow on my land, they would probably get shot at. Dude...find a better place to grow. Preferably one where you're not putting an innocent person's freedom and property at risk. -tC
