males sometimes flower when they have grown to the limits of their container and reached maturity, regardless of photoperiod.

I saw something quite similar to that about a year ago.
A perfectly symmetrical black square silently moving through the clouds at the same height as a commercial aircraft. It was actually very large. I have some decent photos on my cell phone which show it flying through clouds.
I also regularly see f-35s in testing being escorted by f-22s and f-16s. This was moving along the same flight path. It seems pretty clear that this was a stealth aircraft in testing.

Thatās interesting, I have had it happen before with a different strain a year or so ago. I will just have to use bigger pots to make sure, they donāt catch me unawares.
Do you live near an airforce base?

Its a struggle to get in my veg tent, so that only happens when I am cleaning it out, but unfortunately the room my veg tent and Clone cab in is the only route to get out of the back of the house to get to my workshop, unless I walk all around the house. I have an old pair of sandals in the workshop, to wear going into the flower room but I am wearing the same clothes, perhaps I should get my old hazmat suit out that I used when doing base coat and clear coat spraying. Pain in the arse, but I think your right. I probably am moving the little fuckers about, either on the plants or myself or both.

I wouldnāt put that Orange Goji back in the veg tent 
. In case of āyou know whoā appearing again you wouldnāt know if they were already in the tent or remnant in the plant 
and they could spread again in the already sanitized tent. I would try with a healthy plant instead, glad to know that heavy defoliation has apparently had positive effects, fingers crossed ā¦

Good thinking 
I would have been back to, not being 100% sure, if they were on the plant again or in the tent. My lateral thinking is off today 
Well it wonāt be the GDP going back in there George, thatās for sure, looks like the PK auto has drawn the short straw 
I am going to dump my pots out on a tarp and mix them all up, add more perlite, as I canāt get volcanic rock atm. Then soak my pots in water and bleach, rinse a couple of times and dry, and hope they donāt turn out like a badly tie died T-shirt ,

Glad if Iāve been able to give you back a little, still owe you a lot . You should change to fabric pots, you can wash them in the washing machine ā¦

I do have fabric pots, but I like my testicles attached to my body 
which would not be the case, if the wife sees me putting them in the washing machine 
Edit. The pots, not my testicles

Hahah, take them to the laundry mat.

No, my testicles would have to go with me, to the laundromat as well as the pots lol.

Today I emptied 3 x10 gal pots and 1x5 gal pot onto a tarp, spread it all out about 5 inches deep and added 5 cups of Basalt rock dust and a cup of dolomite lime to it then wet it down a bit and mixed it by lifting the sides of the tarp up so it rolls over itself.
I dont want to use a shovel in case it hurts the worms. I will add 5 cups of gypsum as well. Not sure if I should add any Neem meal, or Malted barley powder, its pretty high in nitrogen already, the TER and green crack finished almost black, the leaves were so dark green, and I dont want to burn the autos that will be going in it.
The pots have gone into a 5 gal bucket with bleach and water for a good soak, then I will rinse and dry and keep my testicles safe and where nature intended them to be
Once these are done I will do another 3.

I do, during spring and summer I regularly see jets in formation performing radar sighting, training, and occasionally testing the f-35ās electronic systems.
Itās a pretty good show, definitely better than any special effects that hollywood can cook up.

My brother inlaw lives in Scotland, he has a farm, and where his sheep roam is up in the mountains. When we visit I use his atv and go up into the mountains, for a ride about, the RAF practice their low level flight training, through the mountains, you can look down into the planes cockpits, as they fly past and give them a special wave 
for scaring the crap out of ya

Just spoken to Health Canada about my renewal licence which they received on the 21st of Feb, still being processed.
He said, You can still keep growing under your old license, I said, thatās good because I havenāt stopped, any idea if I will get it before I send you my next years application for renewal, he said I am not sure, lmao.

I just got some clones that were covered in mite damage, you wanna bet I washed em down and have been extremely diligent going in and out of my grow. They never got anywhere near the house.
I know how much of a pain in the ass it is to battle the borg man, dont stop fighting the good fight though, they can be defeated.
Iāve never went through with the new application process for growing since I had my license before acmpr came about. Theres a grandfathering injunction in place that afaik still covers those on the old program so Iām still ālegalā lol.
Sucks all the re application though, I never really agreed with the acmpr guidelines but hey at least theres much less red tape involved in getting it these days.

Iām still debating about filing to grow myself. Iāve had a medical for 5 years now and have 12g/day from a local doc now who was only signing for me and said he would cut me off if I referred anyone to him. Last year he did sign my wife up tho after he saw her and her results proving she had tumours on her liver. She got 6g/day.
The stupid regulations allow for up to 3 medical patients to grow in the same place but they have to be separate and one patient is not allowed to help another. If I was to act as my wifeās designated grower then we can combine the grows and she is allowed to help in all aspects of the growing, harvesting and processing of the crops. How stupid is this shit!
To be her DG I have to get a criminal record check by my local RCMP and include it in our application. No problem as my record is clean other than an impaired driving conviction from 1993 but then the local constabulary will know I have a grow in my house and Iām not cool with that.
I guess it would be best to call HC and discuss it with them and maybe it is OK for spouses to share in the duties and the grow room without the DG thing. Think Iāll wait until we need renewals this October and by then Iāll know how my outdoor grow using auto fem plants goes and maybe get mine for outdoor, (or mix), and hers indoors then next year be able to grow 24 outside legally. Maybe more as Iām pretty sure I can get the doc to give us a raise when we renew. Bump me up to 15+ and her to 10.
Hey Shadey. I potted 10 of those bare rooted Monkey Banana Kush clones last night. My buddy uses this myco product called DynoMyco thatās made in Israel after 30 years of researching whatās the best for cannabis and he swears by it so I bought a small pouch of it and dusted the roots of each one as I set them in the pots. Used a 1/8th tsp measure to give each a bit. A 75g pouch cost $23 at the grow store but I bet itās cheaper online.
The plants went super droopy an hour after repotting so I used a clear garbage bag for a humidity dome and they are looking better today about 12 hours after. They were in a plastic bag in the fridge for 2 days after I got them home. I culled 5.
My 8 little auto-fem sprouts are all doing well and spending most of their day out in the sun and liking it. They go under my DIY LED unit all night so getting 24 hours of light/day for now. In the garden outside very soon I hope.
Now to go downstairs and repot the 18 plants sitting in little pots for almost a year. Pretty ragged looking so may just take some clones and scrap most of them. Total of 36 plants in the house now. lol

Plant counts drive me nuts. Can you imagine if someone said you could only have four tomato plants growing? Of course, tomatoes dont sell for $10/gram eitherā¦

If you do call them, ignore the message that says you are in a queue and your expected wait time to speak to a representative is 625 hours lmao, after 5 minutes it dropped to 500 and something, then 7 minutes later, after repeated messages I could email them, I spoke to someone.
I have had mites twice now, first time I got rid of them in a week, luckily I spotted them quickly, and both times was after receiving clones, this second lot though appeared about 8 weeks roughly after I got the clones, back in the spring when temps were cold, and I sprayed them down and isolated them for 2 weeks, the clone cab and veg tent were only operating around 72-74F. I didnāt find them until they went into the flower room, where the temps were higher during the day and night. Then when I checked the veg tent pretty much everything in there had a couple of leaves affected as the temps were climbing.
I got one of those home defence max no pest strips on Wednesday, its in the veg tent now, going to leave it in for a week, I hope thatās enough to penetrate everything. Once the flower plants are done, I will put it out there until I start to use it again in September, I think it lasts 4 months.

Thanks for the headās up. I just put it on speaker and wish there was no sound at all until a human picks up. I complimented the guy at Lee Valley when I phoned them about an order screw up. No Muzak, no message with āPlease donāt hang up as your call is important to us BSā. Just little click every 30 sec or so that let you know they didnāt hang up. Next voice I heard was him.
I bought an automatic stirrer for making my cocobudder and itās just a little too big to fit my small crock pot. 
Gonna have to make bigger batches in the full size one then I guess.
Finally finished off that Hindu Kush ScroG harvest I started last Nov. I got 50g off what was left. All nicely cured on the plant. lol Cloning tomorrow I hope but 2 hours of trimming while sitting on a pail has me beat now.

Weedly Update.
Brewed up a nice bit of seaweed tea in 5 gals of water, a hand full of seaweed blended, and a table spoon of molasses. Its got a nice head on it after 18 hours.
In the clone cab, temps have been steady all week between 73-75F with humidity around 45%, the 1 PK auto is cruising along, I lifted the desk light this week to 5 inches above it, it was getting a bit compact node wise.
The GDP was re bent open again, and the OG was bent for its first time on Wednesday, its behaving and staying bent atm, I really need to put these into flower if I am going to do it in the clone cab, but the PK auto will suffer, on a 12/12 schedule, until I can re open the veg tent which got the Home defence bug killer in it Wednesday. I dont know how long to leave it in to be successful. I think I will keep it in there until next weekend and then transfer the PK auto in there to see if any of the borg have survived and attack it.
My STS is ready to use, I need to check when I should start to spray it on the plants for successful male flower production. I 99% believe the OG is a girl, but will be keeping an eye on her. I have light proofed my air intake just need to add some ducting to the air outtake to make sure that one is as well, then I will put my phone in there on record and switch the lights out to check its completely light proof. This is more about making seeds than bud, but some OG bud would be good to try 
I might even give the PK auto a spray with STS as well once its bigger.
In the Flower Room.
Ambient temps have been lower this week around the 75F mark with 50% humidity but much easier to work with inside the flower room temps have been 80-81F and Humidity between 20 and 30% mainly due to the extraction fan running constantly. First rain this week today so that Humidity will be higher the next few days.
Found a couple of leaves with mite damage on but just removing them as I find them. Going to check the trichs this week on the Tranquil Elephantizer Remix and White Diesel X Ghost Rider, I expect they will be ready by next week as they are 8 weeks from flip today. I may just have to leave the branches I pollinated on for a couple more weeks depending on the seed development if there is any lol.
TER pretty frosty but after the heavy de foliation its not done much to increase but size which is disappointing but kinda expected.
The WD X GR has improved better.
The CCK are kind of dormant as well, but producing more leaves and they are at week 7 from flip, so I am hoping they will bulk up more.
Smaller CCK.
Larger CCK.
Cheers for looking.
