Growing outdoors from seed in high desert Southern New Mexico

[poozgrowz]

Pumpkin Spice ~ this 1 has visual leaf problems. Any ideas?

Sometimes they will grow male parts and seed themselves! Or pollen can be carried in on the wind, insects, or by animal! You have to be aware of neighbors and be vigilant when inspecting your plants! Checking for bananas when you’re in flower. I had a plant a long time ago that had one single branch, throwing balls! The entire rest of the plant was female! They can be sneaky!

0 My gosh Ok I will watch closer!
Did you plant any of those seeds?
I'm kinda in shock that this could happen lol... But preservation is a strong element in living :-) I'll be looking close at the early pics of that white widow & bberry. It's all an experiment with me lmao

Was taking care of a lot of plants working for someone else out in the bushes around 1980! No, I just cut the branch off! Was lucky to find it! If I would’ve let those plants get pollinated, I would’ve been out of a job and gotten my ass kicked to boot!

Well dang! No wonder you are so smart now! LoL I love your life stories No boots in the ass type hehehe

It’s got nothing to do with being smart! Just spent the last five years reading about people’s experiences here while the grass is growing and doing a shit load of googling! And a little previous experience for a few years long ago! More like a bunch of educated and uneducated guesses! It’s just a plant! Keep it simple! Mostly common sense! Trial by fire!

I think your floral birth control plan needs a little work! no more relying on the cycles of the moon!

Good 1 Chucky LOL

So ... I cut this little cola down. Sticky Orange.
She didn't seed. 1 out of my 3 1st autos to grow. I'm growing more cos I love her. I think I'll grow autos forever, cos if they are bi 0My gawd. Who can stop that Always been for the underdogs. LMFAO I'm fucking way High rn. Just don't.. In my face. We're cool.
I'm old. Celebrated my man 58 yrs today of us being in love. Life is a big learning experience.
I never read the rules to be here. But I think I looked and listened. Life is hard growing to eat isn't.
It's a plant. Like @Oldchucky
Told me. I'm doing my best and learning as I grow. Got enough drama
Just here for the help & memes.

Happy 58th Anniversary!

Thanks man, I think haha. You know when you've put up with some one so long and visa versa it's the golden! ;)

 

[poozgrowz]

Okay... Honeymoon over...lol
I've got serious probs...
My plants have freckles! WTF biggest leaves I've had so far in 3 yrs
I'm doing only organic and thinking it's for health reasons, But... What is the reason for freckles on my leaves
I'm about to... Question everything..Again....

 

[poozgrowz]

Okay looky here... My moon flower never Ever blooms till Sept. It's blooming 1st of June! I'm telling you, time is sped up! I always have first blooms open wide on Sept 17th.. 2nd daughter's bday. It's a ritual, sorta lol.
So this LSD is early to finish. Should be ready June 20th earliest. It's way amber. I cut 1 bud off 5 days ago. Ambered. Chopping it tomorrow.
It's gonna be a wild ride!!

Well that just might be insect damage......thrips typically leave those type of markings. Get out the magnifying glass and check the undersides of the leaves

Tiny little hoppers, leave marks like that also! But that’s an awful lot of them! Do what Terp said. And in hot places, they like to operate around dark so get out with a flashlight and take a look!

I agree with @Oldchucky . Likely leafhopper. I’ve got em too. I have pulled three off the plants this morning. I brush the underside of the leaves. To knock down the younguns and to see if the adults move so I can squish the little fucks. If you spray they just come back.

Thank you! All 3 of you guys, @TerpBeans @Oldchucky @grayoldnproud
I have been looking but not seeing anything. I have 1 of those TOMLOV . I'm too shaky tonight to get a clear pic. But I did see 1 insect wasn't black tho. . .what ever it is. I have been cking the leaves daily since freckles 1st appeared & old eyes are possibly fooling me.
So, no organic spray will help? Am I gonna lose my plants? Do I have a chance or should I end this grow? What can I do, or is it over for this time? I'm just a bundle of nerves right now lol. I can face the grim reaper if need be.
Last night I was thinking I could ask my ole man to move the bug zapper near the plants & turn the sucker on lol but I'd hate to hurt the beneficial buggies.
I'm planting a bag of yarrow tomorrow lmao for next year's protection ;)
Dear Abby, am I doomed
The moon flowers bloomed 3 months early

so glad to hear from someone else in high desert. I'm in SE AZ and we are hitting well over 100. my auto diesel doing very well. I'm not having lunch with the GF OG. I'm also growing Watermelon Martini and these are lush and green, although thirsty.

Nice to see you, another hot as hell grower! We're already 104 here in southern New Mexico. 89 degrees at 7am. Yes the plants are very thirsty here also.
Show us your grow! Did you start an intro & grow diary yet? I loved growing the GF last year. Short little shit but a powerful hit! Nighttime smoke for sure, lol. Looking fwd to hearing more from you!!

 

[poozgrowz]

Well I found a few of these, 4 at least... Are they thrips?

I don’t know. It doesn’t have the thrip shape I am used to seeing! But it sure craps like thrips! Lol! Google thrips and then images and see what you think! There are many different kinds of thrips! I’m used to seeing something long and slender! And usually when you have thrips, you have a lot of of them!

I did a little search at 2am looking and I thought they should be more slender also. This is a fat critter. Okay I'll look more... Last night I only saw 1 bug but today in natural light I found these. There's ugly things that live in the desert... Haha Thanks Old Man
