Sept 2023, Landrace / Heirloom Challenge

I’ll smoke one for fallen Bhadra. :disappointed_relieved: Looks like you are taking decisive action against the PM.

The Bhadra remaining certainly looks quite a bit more reluctant/longer flowering. Should be interesting regardless. From what I’ve read its pretty common to have wide variance in pest/disease resistance within the same line of plants. Some seem susceptible, some less so.

Congo spreading her limbs out asserting dominance :rofl: She’s got less total leaf surface area than one branch of any of the others. Low drag, high speed. I mean, obviously, not high speed flowering. But high speed something. Maybe sending your brain to outer space.

Just wanted to say be careful with the HClO I burned stuff at 500ppm but half that seemed OK. Granted I was spraying and praying hoping to kill botrytis you have a couple days to read and get a dilution rate figured out. Seems like 200-250ppm is widely reasonable. But…don’t do 500. I did not find that as friendly as other folks have :wink::+1::+1:

Cheers buddy have a great day!

Its been a hectic week.

Looks like the Hypochlorous Acid Spray has certainly Caused the situation to calm down…

Nothing has shown since we defol’d and sprayed.

My pain situation is back near a peak-level, Mother-in-Laws back in the hospital twice in the last 4 days. Its been a brutal pace.

Spray was 150-200 ppm. Barely strong enough, but thats where we are. May warrant a 2nd application, being half of Ideal…

She’s 94, in a Home for aggressive Dementia… re-fractured her pelvis WED., so its been a complete struggle managing pain / life, when her Mom understands nothing, all week long…

At Dinner tonight, she restlessly struggled and Fell out of the wheel Chair. A full tip and you guessed it, more goose-eggs and Cat Scans… more pain

I PM my plants in veg like @JoeCrowe says. And I did some research with Ozone generated by a real UV light bulb. And I managed to get my plants through flower by running the light twice a week for 15 minutes.

Looking good in there! Height is impressively well-managed with that training. You still have another few feet to go with the light.

Love the wispiness of the Congo. The Squirrel Tail x ? bastard seeds should be a fun surprise :cowboy_hat_face:

Greetings @SativaKid, We did “not” do the Sulphur Treatment indoors with this Grow. Which was a success in 90% of the outdoor stuff

Partly because they ONLY Vegg’d for 3 weeks! (Thought it was too early… )

I think we were lucky to knock it down, indoors.

Are you using a UV-C bulb? I’ve played with “Sun-Setting” UV-B bulbs 15 minutes before and after Lites-out…

Something I’ve stopped since getting new Fancy Lites… I better look at that again

Thanks for mentioning that treatment and its Success… UV-C

To prevent gongs, it is a good practice, I use it, several foliar applications in the vegetative growth stage with Nettle Purín and especially with Horsetail Extract, both have sulfur and silicon, good luck!

What’s going on guys!!! Super new to this and not quite sure what I’m doing haha playing around with the site abit!! Absolutely love this thread and have read through pretty much all the 340 pages🌱 my names Ryan from the Love of Landrace collective! Started smoking landraces and just never seem to adapt onto the modern hybrids. I started my instagram page documenting my African landrace trips and bringing in the old school genetics into the future of cannabis. I have covered most of Africa in rural areas, building trust and connections and helping the communities out where I can and all while collecting African landraces to bring back into open pollination, running 60 plants at a time to keep the diversity of these wild strains! Very excited to see what everyone has and grows! I have just got back from a trip where I collected the ukufu strain in rural Transkei and made my way up to Ghana. Our next trip in June next year into Morocco for the Beldia and document the tradition hash making process respect guys!!! Love seeing that I’m not the only one completely hyped over landrace strains!
