There are a good many here with very good knowledge like you man, it is a bit different than where you mod at, lol.
You see how everyone trades and gifts shit over here yet???

Iāve noticed that there is a lot of generosity coming from quite a few members around here.
Not much is more gratifying than watching someone else grow the crosses/strains you labored to createā¦ and like them!
Thatās as good as it gets for a lot of peopleā¦ including me.
Apologies to you Pedro for hijacking your thread for a minute.

Me too. They allow fighting, but they take it to the Shark Tank to do it, so general site does not see it.
The best weed I have grown in over a decade came from a member hereās own work!!! So much great shit flying around here it is not funny. Cool we can open trade, just remember no talk of final product tradingā¦no bud and such, cuts, seeds 100% legit to trade .

Thanks for the information @DesertGrown Iāve been reading up on them a bit and trying to decide a course of action, a dry powder that I could mix on site would be good I already have a small box of BT on site but thatās more for leaf eaters.
What I reaaally need is rain so that my cannabis isnāt the only sweet juicy supple plant material in a 6 kilometre radius for insects to hone in on.
Good to see you here

All good, if the thread doesnāt de-rail it would get boring only getting an update every 3 weeks.
Happy days.

Iām going to battle the heat today and bash some insects and just give everything a good look over.
Normally I only stay for an hour at sunset when the shadows are long but with school finishing in a few days I want to get everything that needs doing done while I have the chance.
Keep smiling.

It swings wildly mate at the moment we have 50%Rh last week it was 20 and when āthe wetā finally arrives it will be 80 and above.

Where Iām at itās frequently less that 10% RH during the summer monthsā¦ that makes growing vascular plants, such as cannabis, a little trickier.
If I had 20% it would be a little easier, but 50% is unheard of around hereā¦ maybe during the rainy season, which is from now through February, or so.
Unfortunately, we donāt get much rain during our summers hereā¦ it just gets hot!

I only found 4 of the Passion Vine Hoppers today and managed to kill 3 of them.
Looks like I am getting some reveg on the Digital Dream and hopefully maybe the Orange Sunshine.
The ones that havenāt really started flowering yet are the Dragons Blood Hash Plants and the GG#4 X Super Skunk along with one of the Shiva Blues and both Shiva Dream X Blues.
Both of my DBHP have the red sap trait which is sorta cool.
This is how I meant with planting a seedling next to a maybe-reveg-stump.

mate Iām loving this thread ,it looks like the girls are growing into real Prom queens ,and your hard work seems set to pay back in Spades ā¦ given me something to strive for for sure , if I can do half as well as yours in our summers difficult conditions I will be 1 happy camper indeed

Yeah, youāll be waiting forever for the DBHP to bud. Mine didnāt start budding until Sept outdoors here, so late late summer.
Trust me, youāll have harvested everything and be going back just for them. lol Totally worth it though!
Also, for dirt cheap you can grab a couple seed packs of sweet alyssum that @DesertGrown mentioned and throw them down all over at the edges of your grow. They are ground cover flowers, I grow tons of them in my container flowers and just recently in my annual flower bed. They sprout and grow in what seems like 5 minutes. Easiest and fastest flowers Iāve ever grown. Any way as an extra layer of protection as a companion, help with those hoppers. I think they are like $2 for 100 seeds here at Home Depot. As a bonus, they are really pretty too.

Going oleskool on those. I had our local version here this summer and they were on all the strains. Finally had to mix some soap to thin them down.

Just thought of something elseā¦ May interest you
@MomOnTheRun I know you told me about the 2 different phenos you grew out on the DBHP. Did the cucumber/mushroom/earthy smelling one bleed? My Citrus/Fuel pheno did. Curious if there was a correlation between the bleeding and the 2 phenos?

I didnāt find any correlation between bleeders and scent/tasteā¦they either did or didnāt

I donāt visit the patch often now that itās setup but I should get in there on Christmas Day I reckon.
I will take 5 seedlings to replace some of the early flowered plants.
Iām skipping being with the in-laws for a few hours to be where Iād rather be

Itās been 45 degrees plus in a lot of places here, 2 days ago the average temp across oz was 42.3 degree c and with all the insane fires here, visiting your patch becomes much more of a risk than it is alreadyā¦ I have completely abandoned one patch this year due to lack of accessible water and the danger of having to go through tinder dry scrub to get thereā¦ always another opportunity to grow, so better to be safe than sorry at the mo imhoā¦

I totally understand what it means to grow in such a hot climateā¦ it routinely gets up to 47Ā°C/117Ā°F around here, however, I donāt have the fire danger where Iām at. Thereās not enough vegetation around here to burnā¦ and everything has a wax coating for protection from the sun and doesnāt burn well in the first place.
I agreeā¦ better safe than sorry!
