All good I think. I had two docs today. Both are playing things down just a little bit. I’ll explain tomorrow. Ortho for my elbow and hand, and my primary for my episode from last week. She says I don’t need to go see specialists up north that doctors from last weekend recommended; a cardiologist and a neurologist. She said I should stop smoking cannabis and no more than 2 beers a day. 
Im ok on the beer thing but, don’t go stupid on me.

Some doctors just can’t get it.

I don’t understand. Doctors can be so short sighted and stupid about weed. Probably one of those AA Terrorists or a Mason. Lol!

She’s just saying that because tobacco use is somehow linked to stroke, but there is no science that I know of that links cannabis smoking to added risk of stroke.
I’ll be digging around to get better educated about it. I still say everything in moderation has always been good advice.

Cannabis is a bronchial dilator so it helps me clear the old tubes with a good wake&bake. Possibly the paper is harmful but cigarettes are responsible for my COPD. How’s your blood pressure? I’m sure they gave you some blood pressure meds if you weren’t already taking some. Take care and take it easy.

It’s okay, but they did try and put me on it. My doctor is doing her own blood tests to see if I really need it. My Cholesterol is a little high but so is my good cholesterol, the LDL. So, I’m going to lobby her for me not taking it. I can do the aspirin every day and should be fine.
Yeah, I forgot to mention @misterbee is our other home boy. We all grew up in God’s country. Damn nice place but sometimes the herd down there get all goofy, like now. Hey MrB, one of my cousins lived south of Huntsville a few miles and on the Tennessee River. I forget the road to turn off of Hwy (is it 231?). My dad took us to Smith Lake all the time to fish.
I’ll have to shoot you a DM to explain my most recent ordeal from last week. Hope all is well up in the North Woods!
Olskool, the bird will fly tomorrow. Missed the deadline today.

Those look like thrips to me, not spider mite bites. The easy remedy is Spinosad in the form of Capt. Jack’s Dead Bug Brew. Follow the instructions on application and you should be fine, but you’ll have to spray everything down, top to bottom in all your grows, and a couple times - just follow the instructions on the bottle. Don’t smoke buds sprayed with spinosad, but you can use it “safely” the first 2 weeks after you flip to flower.
They may come back if they exist in your yard. If they keep coming back because they’re naturally in your environment, a combo of predator mites (stratiolaelaps scimitus aka hypoapsis miles), sticky traps, and occasional sprays in veg will keep the population under control.

Thank you kind sir. That’s what I needed. All I have is Neem. I’m ordering Captain Jacks now. You have a great day and thanks again for the info.

I had some sort of tiny, tiny bugs on some leaves this year. They were all bunched in a group in about a 1/2 inch space. When I looked at them with the scope they seemed to be shiny and almost like larvae but more mature. The leaves look like yours.
I keep wanting to spray. but it’s rained every afternoon so I’m just watching. They all seem to disappear after a good rain. It’s been cool at nights, too. They aren’t comfortable, I know that, lol.
I’m going to try this sample of CannControl from MammothP. It uses Thyme oil for the active ingredient and never heard of anyone else using that. So, it’ll be interesting. I’m right at flower starting so I need to spray now as soon as the weather looks dry for a day or two.
Hey, get a bag of Agsil 16H. It’s potassium silicate and is water soluble and aids in all plant stresses and strengthens cell walls for pest resistance. ’
Read the description on this page. Potassium Silicate 16H. I never used this place to buy it but I like their description and the price is the lowest I can find. The price has gone up to $15 from $11 a few years or so back. It can be used in the soil or as a foliar spray or both. I add it to the soil, and use a half teaspoon or so in every feeding. I do dry nutes as a top dressing with it, and use the Roots Organics Surge on the other weeks with bacto/myco and a 1/4 teaspoon of molasses and the same of Build a Soil Big 6 trace elements with humic acid. 
edit: also try MB Ferts. or Build A Soil. BAS is $5 higher but free shipping in Colorado. Not sure about those other two places shipping fees.

Me too. Just started seeing pistils so I too have to spray today before buds develop. One of my mentors @nube says it looks like thrips and recommended Captain Jacks dead bug. It’s being delivered tomorrow. I’ll spray every 3 days, maybe alternate products a time or 2. I’m assuming they are all over the Shitkicker Shed. Some new pest strips are in order. I’m gonna try like hell to save the grow.
