Popping smoke

[Fiddler's Green]

Just documenting my journey, starting with beans from my first chucks ever last year.

Mom- "unknown freebie" from The Single Seed Centre (smells like cilantro and basil with an earthy dankness)
Dad- Mosca Seeds "Raspberry Boogie" (smells like mixed berries and nose tingling fuel)

I know it's late in the season but they were both fast finishers 50-56ish days. Let's see what happens.

I'm onboard through FPF. Cool cross.

The good with the bad.

The outdo' girls got topped today. I released them from their LST chains and popped tops. It's been 10 day and branching didn't activate as much as I hoped. I was trying to keep it low stress but after looking at my notes I was snapping branches learning to super crop this time last year.

The point I'm making is I liked the plant size I I had going last year (although these plants are doing much better so far) but they also had nice uniform easy to work on branches.
Learning has occurred, I know I'm going to pay for this.

Floating still and the tap root is straight down. Should have done it in a clear cup, got the idea from Green Gene's Garden.


Transplanted the best two of the regs into 5 gallon pots. I didn't have enough fivers for all of them.


Sour diesel x Raspberry boogie


Martian mean green x Skywalker


County Line Genetics- Homecoming Queen


Sour diesel x Bangin ticket


Bubblicious



UK Cheese


OG Kush

NIce! Good selection too. Popping some cheese next round

The RB x unknown are slow going and one didn't break through and the other fizzled out. I'll check out the roots and see if an uppot is needed.

 

[Fiddler's Green]

I'm liking the results of the alfalfa meal compost and vermicompost mix.

 

[Fiddler's Green]

The Raspberry Boogie female from last year was hurtin' so she got an uppot to a 5 gal.

The three RB x ? are doing well for being neglected. The center plant is female and so far the only one showing sex.

 

[Fiddler's Green]

(Mephisto- Stilton special x 3 Bears OG)x Mosca seeds- Raspberry boogie cut at 8 weeks. Wasn't worth the time to trim but will all get ground up to vape. Hairy, airy bammer that'll last me until the photos finish.

 

[Fiddler's Green]

Next seasons candidates.


2 gal is not enough, seems like 5 gal pots are the minimum for me outside if I drop around the summer solstice.

 

[Fiddler's Green]

Pollinated the lower branches on both females with the Raspberry Boogie x unknown male and they are looking good. Both females look the same.

While getting the small containers ready to transplant the clones I took a couple weeks ago (the cuts I took a month ago failed, too cold) I noticed some tiny webs on a couple of my moms. Checked with the loupe and they were spider mites FML.

I've never encountered them before so I pulled everything out, heavily defoliated, cold water spray every part of the plants and then soaked them with a neem oil, peppermint soap spray. My poor girls look like Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta.


I'll spray them again today and hit them with a heavy dusting of DE after they dry. I haven't seen anything on my clones since they were separated. Any recommendations on a dunk recipe that you guys have used.

I think I brought them in with either the apple trees I bought or the houseplant my parents gave me. Summabish.

Idk know much but if all else fails get some lady bugs. They should eat em as long as there are no other pests as food options. At least that’s my understanding. I’ve never had mites but I know others who keep ladybugs in their grows for this purpose. Hope you get it sorted out.

 

[Fiddler's Green]

I've been snatching up every lady bug I see and tossing it in the room.

I'm not too worried about the fight since these are going outside soon and will be used as pollen recipients. If I grew indoors I would be a little stressed.

Saw this while taking the pup on a walk to visit my girls.

Damn Joe...nice poison ivy plants...lol

 

[Fiddler's Green]

Martian Mean Green x Skywalker thickening up faster than the rest.

Thinking about when the best time to defoliate, lollipop and spread branches would be (now or after transition)

Something had feast on my fence post

 

[Fiddler's Green]

Gave all the girls a final pruning. Took the lower 1/3 off almost every branch and the inner bud on the top branches along the tops to get some air in there to keep things from staying soggy. Tomorrow some H202 and potassium bicarbonate spray.

Before


After

 

[Fiddler's Green]

I guess something figured I missed a spot after yesterday's pruning.


I've seen a squirrel chillin in and around the area. It would watch me water and check the plants. It's my prime suspect, if my air rifle didn't blow a seal I would have composted that futhamucka a long time ago.

That's two years now I don't get a taste of the Homecoming Queen. I moved them yesterday to the mowed edge thinking they would be safe so I can place them in a different location (nope). The CLG Homecoming Queen and Mosca Raspberry Boogie have something the rodents like.

Fuck

 

[Joebud]

That stinks. Sorry for your loss.
