MissMayhem

Hey guys, so we started growing this lady in January. 

Outdoors, in a pot with soil, we were giving nutes up till about 3 weeks ago. Seagro. Its a jack herer X 

All was going well, stacking up nicely etc up till recently..

There seems to be foxtailing & every day the buds seems like they are getting airier, the leaves seem to be dying quicker than usual.

Im assuming its not getting enough sun, has anyone else experienced this?

would it be best to do an early harvest? Or any tips or ideas on how to supplement it?

Trichromes are clear-milky

I work from home now, dabble in a few odd jobs, sew & make things to sell. Used to be a waitress/bartender most of my life, Since covid i decided to pursue my actual interests where i can be underpaid and overworked in my own time

I have been using aq sf for my grow and spray it as a preventative and so far so good.

I also have some sulphur for just incase, but would prefer not to use it during flower, or at least only use it during early flower before the bud has formed.

 

Milk works alright as a temporary solution, like if you get it late in flower - I'd be happy to spray milk to keep the PM at bay while the trichs mature so I can harvest.

Would be keen to try some Seranade, but not available locally and have struggled to find stock overseas to import.

 

@Chris Jay if the product works and works well, awesome. If it is safe to use during flower with little to no negative side effects, even better and has lots of potential for sure!

Do you find milk to be a good preventative measure? 

So the juggernaught x 24k gold (jungle boys) & sunset sherbert  (ethos) both confirmed males. Gorilla glue still not showing,

Does anyone have an interest in studs before we send these guys to the guillotine? 

Hey guys, i took some higher quality/closer pics today. Anything definitive as yet? Want to purge the males before they pollinate our females

1st 3 pics gorilla glue (another suspected male)

Next 3 pics juggernaut x

Following 4 pics sunset sherbert

every Pic looks like early male to me.... But you'll know for sure in a week or so

Appreciate the feedback,  i hope you are wrong will wait & see ✌ thank you

Hey guys, we have some really genetics going at the moment & need some help with gender please

1st 4 pics are sunset sherbet reg (ethos)

Next 3 pics are juggernaut x 24k gold reg (jungle boys)

Rain on buds that are already with mold (budrot) or pm will worsen for sure I'm afraid.

Plants without issues can be "shaken off" after a rain or heavy dew to help minimize issues.

From the picture I saw and the few trees in the background, I would take down what's getting worse and leave the healthiest plants to mature longest.

These are all fungi problems,  spores get  created and will spread across gardens quite easily left unchecked.

The earlier harvests might have less taste and a more speedy high, budrot harvest is not worth smoking anyway.  Hope this advice helps a bit.

It helps a lot. Thanks brother. 

The pics I posted are all of the same tree. Removed any rotting pieces, will keep a close eye on her. She's the furthest along, all the other girls are quite far behind. 

And with the rain that's expected for pretty much the whole week in gauteng, the issues will likely just worsen?

Yo @Jedi Messiah , with the bud rot and mildew the quality of the bud will go from bad to worse.

If u do decide to harvest be sure to remove all pieces with rot an trim mildew carefully, clean tools after to avoid infecting other plants. 

Thanks man. So you reckon harvesting asap? Checked the trichomes, they were clear. Did smoke a dried piece, nugs are dense af, think stacking is over.

Judging by the severity of your PM issue I'm guessing your plants are well into flowering phase. Firstly you should immediately stop treating issue with neem oil as that stuff is vile and is going to make your buds taste bad

I recently harvested a GG4 that was treated with neem, had a terrible aphid problem. Used a bud wash of bicarb and lemon then plain water, honestly wasn't bad at all. But I shall head the advice of more experienced growers. The pictures aren't great, will take a couple better ones tomorrow. It's  bad though, pretty much anywhere the sun doesn't reach has mildew. This is the LSD, it was the first to show signs of infection, the rest were probably  already infected. 

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, battling hectic mildew, weather in Gauteng has been very wet. Been going at it with 3 different solutions, in 5 day intervals. Milk and water 20/80 strength, around 1 tbsp bicarb to 5 litres with some oil and dish soap, and finally Jaimes neem oil, at close to double the recommended strength.  Frustration is building, it's a huge chore spraying the grow at the moment. 

So, I need the mold control equilevent of a nuke. Any sure fire way of burning this shit out of our grow?

@@Papegaaislaai  Sorry boet - you woz taken for a ride man!

Been making Honey Oil for +10 yrs now. Have enough fans to know its of an acceptable quality to load into a blade.

Would definitely check those sources.

Where do I sign up to become a fan?

So with most of our plants already pushing out pistils, and harvesting a gg4 auto INFESTED with aphids, I wanted to find out what pesticides and fungicides you guys use during flower? 

Read contradicting shit on neem and decided against spraying anything on the auto, and sorely regret not using what I had on hand, did a simple lemon bud wash and got rid of most of the aphids, will be spraying neem a lot more generously  going forward. 

Anyone using some ol' cheap and effective methods? Went over board on a side project and fundings for the grow are scarce xD

If anyone is interested, starting off with a 1m x 0.5m piece of fabric, seam allowance included, you end up with a 15 to 17 litre pot. Bit hard to measure the fabric without a medium. Will provide a more accurate volume once filled.

My concern is that it depends on what the impurities are. If its only the solvent then sure, boiling it off seems like it should work. But as I understand if its not food grade there could be other impurities in whatever you are using (e.g. lead?) and there is no guarantee that those impurities will evaporate. Many people make BHO though so you'll have to decide how important this is for you.

Its not that cheap. I got 1L for ~R600 . However I was surprised how little I used (~100ml ethanol, 30g bud for 6ml oil) . I think keeping the bud and the ethanol in the freezer overnight and doing a single wash will get you pretty good yields for the least amount of ethanol used. 

Also take a look at dry ice hash. I don't think that is very expensive 

What I'm looking for is something that could provide a lot of extract for cheap. The dry sift is also an option, but I have a feeling I would over do it and end up with too much plant matter. Looking for something efficient and foolproof. Which keeps leading me to solvents, and butane seems to be a good choice because of the purity, risk of blowing yourself up is a concern, would have to be extra cautious. I was even considering rosin, getting a press or even constructing one with perhaps a truck jack. But sturdy heating plates are proving to be expensive, though solventless quality extract is still the dream. 

Bubble bags are like R700 for the cheapest options (5 gal). Read the screens are awful though.

Hey guys, been researching a bit, but not getting solid answers. What is the cheapest and best yielding form of extraction? Bubble bags seem to be the cheapest to me, but I'm not sure if solvents would provide a better quality and higher yield? Though blasting butane or using food grade ethanol doesn't seem all too cheap. I've  read of people using acetone? And denatured alchol(non food grade) and medical spirits? If the boiling point of the toxins in the non food grade stuff is below 100c wouldn't purging be relatively simple? Thoughts?

I would let it grow some more. Re-potting at this stage will only result in root damage cause I doubt that all that pot is filled with roots. I think the root ball might break apart and damage the roots of you repot now. Os let her go a bit more.

I tried my hand a the Psycadellic strain but mine never made it sadly.

Thanks man. It's bulk seed bank, their strain names are confusing sometimes bru.

Also have a psychedelic going. It's in a 2l pot atm, considering transplanting her, have yet to top it or anything really. Is it big enough to be transplanted?

Won't finish up.. I also have a plant outdoor that's flowering... But I placed an outdoor light there to kick it back into veg... 

@MissMayhem, you can take a chance and finish flowering her if she let's you.

But if you see her pushing new leafy growth... Then it's time to cull as bud production is no longer the main focus. 

What do you want to put in her place? 

Some gorilla glue or perhaps OG kush. Getting my replacement seeds from biltong and buds soon. They've been really great and helpful. Few better photos. The plant is getting resinous af, touch led the tiny cola's and my fingers were sticky as shit.

Maybe a better shot of the whole bud??? 

Will take some better ones soon.

You still got a loooong time to go, especially if they start to reveg.

 

On average, most plants will flower for around 9 / 10 weeks before they'll be ready for harvesting.

It's been flowering for about 4 - 5 weeks. Hoping she finishes before the reveg thing starts. Would prefer the patch of garden being used by something better. 

Thanks guys. Will take better photos soon

Hey guys, how far do you think she is till done?
