It's been a scary week here. Lost some buds already to worms/rot, mostly on one plant. It's been damp low 70's to low 50's and rained all night the night before the rot. I already had Purecrop1 on the way in case bugs got away from me so they were sprayed with it yesterday. It's only been a day but the plants are surely cleaner this morning. It appears to have melted the aphids and some spider mites I didn't know were there until I was doing a thorough check of all the buds for worms. We will see if I find any caterpillars this evening.

Unlike other products, cannabis is listed on the bottle and it says, up to the day of harvest. No residuals and while oil-based their procedure reduces it to nanoparticle size making it easily absorbed. As a person who has always thought that spraying any oil-based products on bud was a bad idea, this sounds great.

I put it in an air sprayer hooked to my compressor, pretty much like an atomizer. Using the pump can like above, takes me 4-5 gallons to foliar the garden. With the air sprayer, it's cut in half and I get better coverage. I can also blast bugs off with the air when I bring the tip close enough. I'm loving it, had both items already but hadn't thought to use them that way until recently. I'm a frugal mofo so not dropping a few hundred on an atomizer pleases me very much.

So now that I'm in a bit more of a sharing mood ..........
The day I found out my dad had passed the local police served a warrant on my house, which is a first for me. They were here to verify I had no more than 12 plants basically. As luck would have it, my neighbor got hit first. He had around 30 plants and was in violation of several different laws. As I understand it they also greeted the police with remarks like "don't you have something better to do" etc etc. When I noticed several officers in his yard I went over and asked if everything was ok. At that time the officer asked me how many plants I had and informed me I was next. I politely responded that I had 12 adults but had a couple scragglers kicking around to hold genetics. He smiled and said, "Well when we get there let's hope there is 12." Works for me. I went inside and pulled a half dozen small plants and another dozen rooting clones and threw them in the trash can. So much for holding back genetics.
The short version of the story is, basically, they came and checked stalks and proceeded to tell me how nice the plants were. I explained to them and showed them how I was going to do 6, as per state law, and they could see the pots I had prepped in comparison to the others stuck in the ground. At one point one of them asked me why my Pink Lemonade was so small and I replied: "because you guys didn't tell me I could do 12 until mid-May!" We all chuckled.
It was kind of serene to be showing the girls off to the PoPo. Man have times changed. We discussed the grey areas local to me that I know are in violation of state law. I was told that I wouldn't have to worry for the rest of the season but that next year I should look into an enclosed space in case they decide to start enforcing that law. A greenhouse is essentially the bare minimum. So yeah, warrant served, no tickets or fines and the garden was left in tact.
Right about the time I was giddy from the commotion and outcome I got the message about my pops. He was 86 and made from a different mold. We shared the love of gardening though he didn't smoke herb until he was 75, so we never grew cannabis together. He loved growing flowers despite the fact that he was a man's man. I consider myself fortunate to have been raised by him. I would have told you he was a hard man when I was a teen and even into my 20's, but the truth is he taught me to suck it up and own my mistakes. He was a no shit kinda guy, not the kind of guy that minces words. I'm very thankful to have spoken recently with him as it would not have been to abnormal to go a couple or few months at times. He told me in that conversation that he didn't want to see another birthday. He hated not being able to do everything himself and was generally in some sort of pain or another. Back, hips, shoulders not to mention a stroke two years ago and many other ailments. He refused care and only recently stopped driving. He worked until he was 80 as a security guard, which he took up when he got bored at 70. Yeah, a tough old mule. I told him how sad it was to hear him say that but that I also understood. Let him know how much I loved him and that I hoped to get home to see him before anything like that happened. While that didn't happen and I'd much prefer it did, I'm thankful to have had that conversation with him. Maybe it's a little of him reminding me to be thankful for what you get not bothered by what you don't get.
A lesson from George Schaefer aka Pappy for the younger generation.
A man is only as good as his word. Period. Don't make promises you don't intend to keep and don't make threats you fail to deliver on. I may be biased but in my opinion, those are words to live by.
Thanks for the open ear RIU.

From the folks at PureCrop1. I asked them if PC1 is compatible with Greencure. Looking to know if I can alternate the two.
"
"PureCrop1 is compatible with all other products, without risk of phytotoxicity. Our product works as a carrier for anything it contacts making it a highly compatible, highly effective addition to any spray regimen. In this instance, PureCrop1 will act as a plant wash, removing all residue allowing the plant to transpire more efficiently and increase the plants natural resistance to mildew. There isn't any amount of time you need to wait between applications of either product, other than to gain efficacy that you need for control."

Oh I was hella nervous at first, with the same thoughts. Not like I'm doing time but ripping my plants, that would have sucked. They had angles they could have used but I think my demeanor set the tone. Instead of giving them shit I invited them into my house. We started and ended with a handshake. Let's face it, in most states weed would be the only thing making me a criminal and putting me on the opposite side as the police. I didn't move here to still be a criminal, I moved here to not have that feeling anymore.
I know I sure answer the door differently than I did back in NY. No more frying garlic because an unexpected guest is showing up !! lol

Most cops in my neck of the woods have been cool since before it was legal. I got a dui and they found weed and a pipe in my glovebox. They left it and said id need it when i got out of jail lol. Attitude and respect is everything. A good friends dad is a cop. He told me "most of us are mirrors. Your nice, were nice. You get mouthy, look out" that advice has saved me countless weeks of jail and thousands of $
Oh and they left my shit cuz they already had 4 felony charges on me haha

I'm glad you had a good relationship with your Dad. Mine never grew, but he did make whiskey when he was young, so he knew what it was like in that regard. He never got used to not being able to do what he wanted. The night he died he had been sucker fishing down at the creek. Didn't get in the water with the young folks, but he was there to put the fish in the sack when they caught them. He was 78 when he died 16 years ago.So now that I'm in a bit more of a sharing mood ..........

Pink Lemonade is just about finished now, it's the same plant as my avatar but no real cold nights yet. She was just an afterthought when my plant count went up, there is only 3-4oz on her. Not the densest buds but boy does she smell great. Like lemon bubblegum.
