Growing outdoors from seed in high desert Southern New Mexico

[tradeshowjoe]

I can't imagine not having to spray. I skipped spraying 2wks in a row & picked off 11 green horned worms off my tomatoes. Them caterpillar butterflies must of laid eggs on your cannabis leaves
:( I don't know if it has to do with rain tho.

I am new to this, trying to not use any pesticides and only had a few buds rot, minimal spots here and there as well....so I harvested 2 of 3 plants asguided by Chat GBT on analysis. My last plant seems fine. So what is this spray ,when to use ,how toxic,and what are effects? Safe to smoke?

Here's 1 of the whatever African strain it is lol. Last rain we had here... Made the leaves turn down. I feed it recharge at 1/2 the dose cos Everytime it gets fed some leaves yellow. I don't know if this is normal. But it's smelling pretty good today. Our temps are mid 80's now, 60 at night.

It could be that the plants are using up nitrogen from those fan leaves...

 

[tradeshowjoe]

Ohhhhh Whaaaaat... I'm totally blown away! Lol. Okay.. Deep breath..ha
You mean I'd have to put lights outside?
Gawd I feel stupid right about now.
Ok maybe your meaning I should start seeds indoors w supplemental lighting?
I'm missing something here :P
Thanks for cheering me on
My hubby's already pissed I got bud rot haha

I started my seeds mid March indoors, gradually moved the seedlings to the garage,lost a few due to cold, but managed to salvage 3 out of 16 seeds that grew for 6 months and am just now harvesting some nice nugs. They only started budding 6-7 weeks ago. Photoperiod seeds take 5 months where Autoflower seeds take half that time to finish. Get 2 plantings a summer but plants are smaller and 1/3 the yield.

What is this spray??

What is this spray??

I've seen the older growers using BT, I think. You can search on the forum & it will come up for you. Home growers here wouldn't use it on their weed if it wasn't ok.
I have only used onions, garlic & jalapeno in water soaked over night. Strained. Diluted... 1/10. As long as I used it weekly I didn't have any problems.

Think so. And isn't that what they do at the end? That 1 is closer than I'd thought. Cked them before sunrise today & I've got 20-30% amber on it. Wahoo... So I'm cutting it in 2 days. Guess I need to ck in the dark to see better. LoL

I was joking on another thread that I wanted to nominate BT Spray as employee of the month

I've been spraying the weed and the vegetable garden weekly and haven't found a single rotty nug or sign of bug poop on anything I've pulled so far. Didn't spray my wife's sunflowers. They got ravaged. I threw some sunflower seeds in a container, checked in them a week later and a couple moths flew out at me when I opened it That's like the snake in a can gag if you're not expecting it.

BT is safe, all natural but can smell funky, a temporary cringe for the big win.

Haha I would hurt myself if anything flew out of any container!! LMBO! I didn't even think about spraying my sunflowers, I was too wrapped up in the bird netting haha!
That's funny about the BT spray!! I bet it has been in convos lots! Especially with all the dispo pesticides on the cannabis news lately!
Thanks for clearing it for being all natural.

Did you plant 'bag seeds'? I think what I had was. But heck, they were free lol. I've heard 50% of growers say autos are to hard for new growers. But the idea of early bud seems handy. . & tempting.
I still have 3.5 oz left from last year's but I'm needing to make tincture. :P

I found the autos to be wicked easy. I just put them in a grow bag with happy frog on the top half and ocean forest on the bottom half. that way the stronger ocean Forest wouldn't burn her harm the young plant and by the time it grows in the roots get down there it's about the time that it's going to need it.

You're tempting me, big time..to try a couple autos next spring! But not into growing indoors. Ooooh I like the sound of that mix... I've not used ocean forest...Yet! ...LoL

Harvested at night! NEVER doing that again!! I was in sandals freezing while washing da buds haha
Left the 3 hangers over night. It was 50 degrees. Took them into the dry room in the morning on the 26th.

 

[poozgrowz]

I haven't tasted anything yet. @Oldchucky
Kinda smells like "Daytime" weed hahaha LMAO
But it don't smell like alfalfa so I'm thinking ... That's good ! Checked them tonight & the stems aren't snapping. I did cut buds off a small branch tho. I'm really excited to try this sativa. Hopefully I didn't fail.
(I heard James Loud say "weed that makes your heart pound like crazy is good weed") lmao.
Reminded me of my 23 yr old grandgirl telling me her friend went to the ER cos she got too high. Oh brother. Haha
Ooooh Dang haha I could try some godfather! I forgot it's been jarred long enough for a sample! Going to get some rn!!!! haha

 

[Oldchucky]

Nice! Good job! yeah, go get yourself a sample! You’ve earned it! Let us know if you wind up in the ER!

 

[poozgrowz]

Well I still have this much haze from last year's grow ;P or else I'd of not gotten side tracked on testing the godfather's yehaw

Yep i read how potent that GFather OG could get. I love the taste of my homegrown it really spoils you.

I know, right? This will be great for tincture! The 2nd 1 won't be as strong. Testing it after brother leaves. He won't smoke with me unless I'm at his place haha. Chicken. Haha light weight!
Exactly! Homegrown is so satisfying! And the taste is nothing like dispo.
Do you have a fav yet from your grow this time @Galgrows ?
