Higher Power Genetics

[Zaphod420]

Day 21 of flower now for my Genetically Modified Funeral Cake and Banana Hashplant and just got done cracking a couple runaways to keep them out of the lights. Hopefully the teeth of stretch is almost over and everybody will settle in.

Up potted the NLxSK’s on Friday and flipped them yesterday. I tossed a few of the runts so I’m down to 17 now.

Hey can you decipher these?
I’m guessing
the soap
Forbidden fruit
Cheetah piss.
They are all crossed with?View attachment 115956

almost looks like nanners among mal

Those almost look like straight males are there any female reproductive parts like the bract or stigma? Here’s an example of a similar male it’s just tough to tell from the pic. If there’s female parts that’s a male hermaphrodite I think that’s definitely genetic.. will be a project to make sure that’s bred out I’m not sure when I’ll be confident in it if it’s sadly in the dna.

it almost looks like nanners among male pollen sacks hell i don't know , my favorite stripper had some mussies , so i had to indulge.

I may have had a root issue with a couple of clones and gnats at the same time, but didn’t contact the dots. My gnats seemed to come from reusing some cloth pots that had a little algae at the bottom. That’s where they seemed to prefer to hang out. Thanks for the responses.

I always thought gnats came from too much moisture at the bottom of your containers, thus not letting your grow medium dry completely out at different stages of growth. I've used sand right under my soil surface cover. I use straw or pine needles for a cover.
Bugs don't care too much for pine needles. They are pretty much worthless as a nutrient, but some type of cover is better than no cover over your medium.
DET-PDX,
I believe I have1 Kings Juice, 2 Forbidden Fruits and 2 "519" from what you sent me. Not sexed yet,
but I will hopefully have a male for breeding practices.
Thanks again!

Maybe if it's sopping wet, but then you'd have root issues, too. Since going with living soil I've used blumats for watering, so my soil never really has a dry cycle, and I haven't had any issues with gnats.

I thought the gnat larvae came from the bottoms of containers. I haven't dealt with that problem very much.
You shouldn't let your medium dry out with "living soil".
I'm glad you caught that Charlie.
I meant more on the lines of saturated soil/artificial mediums makes a prime breeding ground for gnats and other insects.
I thought the gnat larvae feed off the root system.

May have to try the pine needles. I have a pine hedge. Just chopping 2 feet of the top. Will have some fresh to try out.

I know Safari is expensive but if you use it, your plant literally becomes toxic to the bugs. The half life of Dinotefuran allows you to apply it once as seedlings and again at day 30-40 before flower. Dino is completely stable in water and is systemically distributed from the roots and leaf tissue throughout the entire plant. You can literally just add it to the feed, no spray is necessary unless you have a really bad issue that needs attention Immediately without waiting for the plant to distribute through its xylem and phloem. Complete stability in water means your plants are armored the entire grow. Once the plant dies and dries out, Dinotefuran is highly unstable without an aqueous environment, and desiccates in 1.8 days according to EPA studies. This means that once your plants are dry the Dinotefuran literally gases off with the water vapor. The main concern would be making live resin or fresh frozen rosin, at which point the drying process of the hash (or even better, a freeze drier) will again release the Dinotefuran.
There is still water content in dry bud but without a stable aqueous environment the air exposure will take it’s toll and the Dinotefuran will break down into gaseous constituents.
Oxygen, Nitrogen and Hydrogen, all that’s left is carbon. A truly miraculous product.
With gnats I tried everything from sticky traps to diatomaceous earth/sand/cinnamon, h202, etc. Dinotefuran is truly miraculous.

I use "dead" pine needles. Never tried fresh green needles before.

Maybe the fresh pine will deter them. I think I have eradicate them in my indoor. Now how to keep them out.

Another organic deterrent could be cedar or cedar oils

I try and give them a few doses of pesticides about a week or 10 days before flip. Even if I don't see anything.
Nothing worse than a infestation at about week 5 or 6 of flower.
Your flowers will get destroyed by harvest time.

My buddy used "Black Flag" on his ball sack to get rid of crabs "one" time. lol

 

[DET—PDX]

This probably goes without saying for all you guys but please let your friends and family know, don’t spread pesticides or heavy phosphorus fertilizer outside. Phosphates cause algae blooms and have basically ruined Lake Eerie and Huron is on its way.

standing in a swimming pool for an hour didn't work but rubbing alcohol did... Teen years were fraught with mystery lol

desperation was real.


I bought this at a tractor supply company store when my grow shop gave me mites, works like a charm.

That is a miracle cure for lots of stuff.
