The brown thing will move if u look at it long enough I think u will be ok its hot this week they love it dry and hot that's why ppl who grow outdoor in a garden shed etc with not much ventilation and a plastic see thru roof battle them on a scale 50 times worse than u have

Looks good mate. Pretty sure I'm running 2 indicas or indica doms and one sativa dominate hybrid, it's like a much smaller version of yours but a little further ahead maybe. Fuck I need to get a bigger pot for it but. I've just recently come across some mites myself, just looking at some different, more organic options to get rid off them. I'm down in Vic, doing my first grow as well, haha.

Looking at it now, it actually isn't much like yours at all, haha.

bdcloseup.jpgbdcloseup1.jpgbdcloseup2.jpgbdcloseup3.jpgfruit has nearly doubled in size since I have used that power feed ruby, very happy with the results from it so far. Cheers for that tip mate. :)

Great looking plants. Some advice when taking the pictures. Place your palm right behind the bud and aim the camera, slightly press the button so that the camera focuses, keep the button pressed then take away your hand, press the button. If you are using your cellphone it should also work. Just keep your touching the screen then let go once you focused and moved your hand. I just want to see those nugs man!

I cried today, on the inside.... I had to take my beautiful baby girl way too early. I had a few areas of bud rot beginning and those caterpillars were starting to go crazy shitting all over the place. I was :wall:

If this bloody rain would have held off for a couple more weeks, those nice hot days were doing her wonders. All I can do now is dry and cure her the best I can to get the most out of what I got. Will be doing some research on how to fk up those caterpillars and how to prevent rot before next year thats for sure. Dunno, might look into maybe getting some seeds that dont take so long to complete flowering cycle. Indoor is not an option for me so I need to try and find a way around these obstacles. Spewin but is my first grow so cant be too hard on myself lol. Good luck with yours mate...hope she pulls through for a bit longer.

Yeah I'm thinking that I will prob do the same. Go for a 8 - 9 week flowering cycle instead of 10 - 12 which is what I think my girl should have went for. Haha, I was starting to get them bad, went from not wanting to kill the caterpillars and just throwing them over the neighbours fence, to giving them a slow and painful death with the scissors. Hopefully the rain quits soon for ya n you avoid rot. One of my biggest issues was where it was located, between my shed and the fence which limited the air flow.

Sounds like a nice plan for next season. Its a pity my girl didnt go the distance, would have been nice smoke by the smell of it, if only....Oh well. Look forward to seeing a couple more of your beautiful lady. Hope she springs back today for ya with minimal damage.

Sucks about the early pull mate, I've had lots of rain and basically no rot because I grow 100% sativas with good rot resistance.
I dunno about you guys but we've had a pelting of rain this week and my babies are warriors, so proud of em :). my 10 litre bucket is half full of rain from the last 48 hours.

You should have left it and neem oiled the shit out of it, if you use neem oil regularly you'll have zero bug problems.
Trust me sativa highs are at least 3 times better than indica highs in my opinion, I guess I like trippy warped highs to down buzz body highs although not all indis are like that.

Harvested a few little samples of Panama today, my eyes were stinging when trimming because it was so potent!.

crazykiwi that sounds awesome mate .....as for neem oil ive used it before and works great but never had problems with mites till this season so they caught me by surprise...guys it looks like mine is gonna be an early pull as well : ( I mentioned before it went hermie on me but it was only the bottom branches affected I cut them off even tho some pollen did escape before I seen it...ive been away for 4 days now ive come back and nearly every bud has 1-3 seeds on it even my top buds : ( its looking like might be pulled tonite otherwise im not gonna salvage much head ahh well seed order looks like the go next season or trustworthy clones : )

I think mines run its race went hermie from about 3rd week of flower kept control of the pollen so I thought but being away for few days and not checking it I've got nearly every bit of smoke on it with 3/4 seeds in its time to cut my losses I think : (

yep the sea sol is what I used all the way thru the veg stage periodically (white bottle).: (
hey do you realise that seasol in the white bottle is only a root tonic. it doesnt have any N-P-K values. it is good during veg but you might want to try a high N fert as well as the seasol. a plant in veg uses a high amount of Nitrogen.
