Just a pic of the Lucky Charms. Followed by a Snow Temple, a Snow Temple and Dragon Fruit behind it. Fighting PM. Sad to post pics. It made a monkey out of me this year. Getting on track though.

I will say I'm a big believer in neem and karanja. Ipm is a weekly thing not i saw it and now I need to spray. Most people can't grasp this. I use a combo of neem/karanja oil, essential oils blend from BAS, em1, agsil 16 or therm x 70 as well. I have not had PM for a long time. This is every week as I stated. Once a month would not have the same effect... in MY experience as long as my soil is 100% my ipm has not been needed and I have even been lazy only spraying every 2 weeks in veg just in case.
I would not spray past week 2 of flower. Having said that i have seen people say adding it to there soil caused neem tasting plants. I call BS on that one. Id never grow in coots mix if that were the case. Just great tasting fire that's it. Spraying past week 2 id never do anyway so I have no experience there.
Im not a know it all and most of what I have learned about neem is from coot and the net. I have however had alot of experience with his methods and put my brain to work over this. I'm sure the combo of these things not just neem helps but the neem/karanja oil def works when used correct.
The highest quality neem products I have used were from BAS or neemresorce.com. West coast horticulture has good neem as well (i think they source from neem resource). My post is not directed at anyone just sharing info as im very positive all neem is not created equal. Neem resource also carries soap nuts. Best emulsifier imo. Even though im out lol. Agsil 16 and therm x 70 work good as well. Agsil for oil is better imo. Soap nuts are bad ass... thanks again coot!
Harvest is upon us!
Happy growing! Hope you are all well and safe!

Looking for some feedback on some Bohdi Gear.
Of these genetics, which has the loudest nose and fit's best in the Cali market?

Non-Bodhi but I thought you guys might be interested. Landrace and heirloom varieties. Anyone ever ran their gear? Interesting...

Going to also recommend neemsource products. Their meal product is oily and very volatile. Others I've tried had little to no smell & were drier than sand. Does this affect efficacy? In my mind it does. Haven't used any BaS, so can't attest to their products. Unlike @Diesel0889 I draw a hard line on neem oil use. None after moving to flower. Neem oil takes around 90 days to fully break down so I don't risk it. If anyone has tasted neem bud you won't forget it. I do; however, add a few spoonfuls of neem meal to my week 2 top dressing. Mostly for a slight N boost and the believed systemic benefit. Neem meal is in my soil from day one too, and I've only had positive results. And yes, Ive run cuttings side by side in differing mixes to test what works & doesn't. At least for me neem meal is a winner.
Friendly fyi, I also use peppermint castle soap as the emulsifier(if needed) and a weak Mag solution(1/2 tsp per liter) as the base for most all my foliar. Sometimes I'll throw in a few drops of lemongrass, rosemary, and eucalyptus oils if needed. Cinnamon(not cassia) gets sprinkled around all my seedlings, clones, and starter cups to reduce damping and other fungal growth. I know damping was brought up recently in popping seeds discussions so I'll add this in while here. Method with most observed success here has been; seeds soaked 12 or so hours until crack, these and seeds not cracked after 24 get put into drilled 1oz cups with 70/30 old soil and perlite mix, the soil mix is pre-drenched with a 6:1 water/3% h2o2 and left alone for 4-5 hours, after seeds are planted they're sprinkled with cinnamon and ground bTi powder(damn you gnats!), for any watering needs until established a weak K solution is used in a sprayer. This same approach is used for clones and have had very few failures.
To bring this back to topic: This season & last Ive used a solution of nicotine, garlic, and cayenne for contact & residual killing of caterpillars and other garden bastards to much success. Made the nicotine solution from the nicotiana rustica given out by Mrs B. So big thanks to Mr & Mrs B for all the good things they've given us. If anyone curious the solution per gallon was 1oz cured tobacco, 2 oz raw leaf tobacco, 5 garlic cloves, and a handful of dried cayenne peppers steeped at 160 degrees for 4 hours. Dilute with water 4 to 1 for use.
*not a botanist, but i've watched stuff grow. Sometimes I might have helped.

That prayer tower will taste like lemon + diesel, worked with her on badder but not her flower. That Sunshine Daydream sounds like Cali to me already though.

Yea some of the reviews on here really throw me off for sure. The last thing I ever want to taste in weed is lavender, grape, or poop.

Never underestimate what flavors you can come to adore if you feel like heaven every time you inhale it.
And really... no grape? Poop... sure. Lavender... weird. But I figured everybody liked grape. Just don't make weed that tastes like mayo and I'm good. Speaking of unpleasant flavors... is the Purple Unicorn f3 male the one that's extra stinky? I grabbed the Purple NL2 for the library... wanted a piece of NL2 for a while and the PU sounded like a good male partner. Some stank there would work for me. Purples have kinda been off my radar but I decided to dip my toes in with the PNL2 and Mendo Sunshine.

When I hear grape it instantly makes me associate that with the "purple weed taste" that I dislike very much. I tried a strain called Tropicana cookies that had the worst weed taste I ever experienced, tasted like orange chemicals and made me throw up every hit until I just gave up.Never underestimate what flavors you can come to adore if you feel like heaven every time you inhale it.

That's yet another beautiful thing about cannabis. You don't like a flavor? Move on... there's zillions more. There's something for all tastes.

I think it depends on the cross. I’ve grown some GDP x OG and Tangie x OG and they tasted great. The heavy earthy/fuel taste with some grape candy or Tangerine undertones was an awesome mix.

Wow! Just came across this.... 2018 tester list! Cool to see so many that are just now coming on line. Kinda shows that Mr. B isn't rushing shit out the door.

Lavender the marijuana plant is spicy/hashy iirc and not like lavender the flower. Thats also the fundamental smell coming off of my rolling thunders at the moment.
If youve never smoked something that tastes like grape kool-aid, you need to treat yo self.

Poop is one of those things I seem to experience during a grow in smell which luckily always for me changes to something like funk, skunk or something not poop. Grape, there is one I haven't really tried yet. Last thing grapey I tasted was Grape Ape and that was nice. I was wondering about purple unicorn too. I see that crossed to some really nice strains.

Just so it’s not left like that, you’re accusing me of irresponsible subject. It’s ultimately ignorance that makes these solutions unworkable for people, instead of making a blanket statement from limited knowledge scaring the hell out off people! Most people drink water from copper pipes every single day don’t be ignorant! Copper is a natural biofungicide, if it weren’t toxic what used would it be duh! I said it soaks into the tissue but you’re not smoking fan leaves and it does stay local it doesn’t become systemic through the whole plant just because you mopped it on a leaf that’s ignorant don’t spread ignorance!
