Caught my curiosity- Looking forward to next outdoor season, which will be my first but i worry about needing to spray anything vile on them if (when) they pick up some nasties. Be really cool if i could fight bugs with just water… but ive never even heard of this as a pest solution.
Im picturing like a “room temperature bucket challenge” with people dumping a tote full of water on their unsuspecting weed plants for cannabis research lol
🪣🌊🪴😂
Full of questions:
Any concern about overwatering the plant doing this? Would you need to divert the water away from the roots (unless they needed it)?
Worry about creating PM?
Branches/leaves/buds you gotta shake em out after?
Successful in all stages, early veg to late flower?
Any Always/Never do’s?
And finally- Does this method have a name? Like “the flood” or something
Great question. Containers I’ll hold it at a position down ward. I want to shock it with water and a huge flood fest on it. Shake it off after rinsing.
If it’s bud do a Hydrogen peroxide straight 3% let it sit a few hours and then rinse it off gently. Repeat every 3 days.
Outdoors you should be hard rinsing often , nothing will bother it. But for extreme pest outdoors divert the water away with a tarp. Leave it there till you get rid of them.
I do call it the flood method. I’m trying to use a method to collect the water from the gallon jug, lol
Usually it makes the plant so healthy it doesn’t need another treatment.
I think I’ll give it a name… Waterboarding Weed
But I’m wanting to test electrocution for pest. Anyone test taze a plant?
Hoping also, maybe at harvest… shock the plant just enoght to make all the leaves fall off over night, for clean buds to hang
I just saved this plant for a buddy. It collased right after I spit the root in quarters, then I spread it wide open.
First thing I had to fix the stem curve. It had preventive sprays, but it didn’t help. So I took a turn.
looks like she pulled through and maybe will give us more than a quarter pound. hard to say, but he pinched off a few small buds and dried them. tasted pretty good for a month or more early and he got a buzz. asked me if i felt it and i said i smoked way too much to feel that effect. can’t wait to cure it.
Here it is still growing, I just top dressed with rabbit and a bit of duck manure mixture. Then use regular water, add more top dressing when it needs it throughout veg. That’s my breeder Male Kanak balochistan.
Just got done checking on the Afghani x Kanak balochistan seeds outdoors, looks like 9 days left.
smoke report: It has a fruity, earthy aroma and is a little fluffy and light but not larfy. Very sticky with lots of crystals. Smokes clean with an aftertaste that matches the aroma. I can detect a hint of blueberry I think, fruity for sure but not overpowering. The high is pleasant and uplifting, makes concentrating easy. Finishes well but a little harsh, perhaps from the cure or lack thereof, as it has only been a week since harvest. Since there is about an ounce of it, I doubt it makes it to a proper cure but definitely worth it and a great job for the first run. This girl was lucky to have made it at all and is the 25% success rate out of four seeds that got started.
