Good Leaves-Bad Leaves

Glad to see that you're getting the problem under control tiedye. Neem seems to last for a good 5 to 7 days after fogging the whole plant, not to forget the underside of leaves as well. to apply it too often could lead to toxicity and might keep things too moist all around. if you have continuing or recurring problems with insects and fungi you might need to go thru a one time cleaning out using whatever your favorites are, neem oil works best to keep newcomers out!! Once established neem seems to not be so effective in driving it out!! That's been my experience so far!
I saved a 5 gallon buckett jampacked with male plant, fan leaves and everything else that fell off the harvesting process and extracted the goodies using the alcohol cook method and it gave me a little bowl with about a quarter inch layer of thick oil which kept me happy for a couple of month all by itself. Smoking the lower quality 'whole plant' material seems very hard on the throat/windpipe system as compared to the 'evap inhale' system.
looking for your next report on the health of your clone mother. b1

 

The fusarim canker infected one? or the mutant? L.O.L.
the mom is recovering from mites- i assume they were hiding in the nugs during the winter. It only takes two. dang BORG.
Im seeing them on some little ones- the neem seems to work well for that angle too.
the smaller the plant the better the coverage i suppose.
It's best as a preventative- or when one or two is infected and the rest are fine. Neem kicks ass then. I find soap applications every other day to be more effective for breakouts. Im about to bomb for fleas= so pyrethium bombs in the growroom will work there.
we are almost done with the deck, i have to finish the skirt today- for benderboard along the underneath.Hides our structural beauty with more beauty.L.O.L.
But with all the radius corners, it's been fun figuring this thing out.
The redwood will be going down again today sometime.
And then the bridge and a roof, and the railings. The curved railings are going to be really interesting, and i have had plenty of practice cutting them. The curved shirt has bottom plate made the same way i will have to make the handrails.
You guys are going to shit when you see this deck.
It should be done in 6 weeks, about the same time stinky is done.
LUMPYTRICHROMY The constant upgrades are so mystic dyes can rise from the ashes, with backing. Im knowing that im owing you some fire shirts.
Can i get a refresher on those sizes- all my old pm and e- mail is lost.
Im cranking up the tiedyes as soon as the deck is done.
sorry it's lagging so bad, last year was a bitch.
later guys
tiedye

 

things are looking good around here.
the clone mom mutant is in back- the reverting gnarled one is my columbianxhashplant
the two big seedlings came up outdoors in old growbbags.
look like first gen stinky and fourth gen hashplant. hardto say for sure so soon.
the little cups are test crosses.
photos arent working
check my stinky thread i guess

 

hey tie: good to see your update and I notice you working on the same situation I play with: how to keep track of all the thing you do>>and what you do to each of them>>and when did you do that>>etc. My current grow is evolving and is beginning to follow the greater plan of 1) grow good mothers 2) take good clones and 3) veg them in 24/7 until they are big enough to bear one solid central bud of 1 ft and put them outside in the sun, regardless of how long the current daylight time lenght is, and shock them into flowering and up with a plant that is short and stocky and grows well in and outdoor/shielded environment and withstands occasional thunderstorms and high winds. A hybrid indoor/outdoor type of plant you would say, where the hybrid comes not from the plant's type (gene makeup) but from the breeding selection method. Will keep you updated here periodically as that goes.
Most insects around here seek refuge when I go around wafting the neem oil mister. Yesterday and this morning there where a greater then expected number of love bugs, mating all over the fucking green beans. I mean: fucking all over the.....green beans in the general garden. And a fogging over with the neem made them leave for the closest hotel 6 for all I know!! b1

 

you sound like your after some of the same things i am after in breeding.
9 years of it.
I just looked at kabul afghanistan weather and once again it matches mine.
summer spring and fall my climate is closest to afghanistan.
that is why my afghani hybrids thrive so well under my torture.
Im insane i should grow some cooler climate strains. Thiunderfuck maybe?
ahh screw it i am on the right track.

Hey yeah i find the message boards very useful, a logbook of sorts to relay our thoughts and record our actions as they happen. Then we can always go back to the thread if we lose our written down at home info... Im just using a calendar, need a logbook to start tracking my various crosses.
