Just wanted to say hi from Michigan. Quadriplegic growing my own medicine. Three weeks into bloom with Gorilla glue #4.

nice looking plant. that's going to make you some good meds! GG4 is a very good pain reliever and the flavor is awesome. good luck getting her finished. being a quad it must be hard to do the work. you should have your helper have some clear plastic ready to cover her with in case of rain. A carport works awesome but, don't think you'll need to do that much. Good luck with finishing her up!

I was talking to a guy at the Grey Area coffeeshop in the Dam this morning. He was telling me he has 2 dogs and some sort of sativa on his balcony. I asked if they were flowering and he said no. Even though we are past the middle of August the flowering here doesnt really kick off until September....ish. Then the shit weather starts and we get rain and constant damp. By October you are on mould watch and if you are running kush based strains then they are not even finishing until November. And then it is impossible to get decent sun here at that point. I imagine Cali as a super sunny dry place but from what nuggs is saying you must get rain before the season is out?

Cali is great for growing almost anything I suppose. it is super sunny and suntan blistering hot not humid unless your near the coast. like everywhere it can come a rain here anytime but as a rule not till oct. seems like we usually get a rain in oct. right before harvest. I've found the mold to be worse if there's bug's . got to keep the plants clean. dead leaves limbs cause mold to start.

@GreenSanta know anything about these?
nope, but I have had mixed results with anything I have had to hatch myself. most things need morning dew I think... If I have the option between eggs or adults and there is a problem in the room I would always go for adults. (exception being ladybugs, but would still buy larvae over eggs, adult ladybugs are kinda useless for pest control)

I did hatch praying mantis in the budding room under 12/12, I sprayed water on the egg casing once a day, some time, lol whenever I thought about it, near the end I forgot it was even there and one day, weeks later, or maybe months later, walked into the grow room and it was full of baby praying mantis. They didnt survive the environment or the escaped, it's really hard to actually keep any beneficial alive for very long in a budding room. I am experimenting with various mulch, mulch gives them somewhere to hide with high humidity. The praying mantis egg casing was hung on a lower branch.

Very happy looking Gg4. I have got one coming down in the next week or so. I went to check it the other day and a nug just happened to jump in between my bonzai clippers and fell right off. How handy I thought. Just the right size for a tester :)
I grabbed some from my buddy who gave me the clone the other day. I'm glad I have a bunch on the way, it is fire.

So true. I'd say 98% of the mold I've seen is caused worm damage or worm shit. And that creeping internal mildew on the inside has to be contained, make sure it never makes its way to the main stalk.

I sprayed Dipel last night for worms and larva. It's 52% BT . lots stronger than safers. 0.012%.
I can't get the wasps to hatch. :cuss:
I spotted caterpillar damage on my neighbors plant yesterday. So it's definitely that time.
Hey Nuggs, do you use an atomizer for the bt? Or ?

They're tiny tiny when they hatch, they're really small when adults , spread out the egg cards from limbs in the inside of the canopy in a shady spot, if you've seen lacewing larvae the trichogamma are even smaller (mite size when hatched) ,
Safer bt works ok but spinosad is awesome
