Nothin but good plants here ( As usual :) ) Ya thats some foxtailing for sure, but hey i think the nugs look cool kinda when they do that, Until they start to try and make another nug off that, i had some early foxtailing and ended up with some weird nugs with nugs growing off them, wish i had some pics to show but my damn computer ate a big pile of shit on me so i lost a bunch, What do you think your gana get off these tables? Better then the last round? I'd go look at your last round but im lazy :) Keep em Growin Man!!!
Go to home depot and buy tie down straps for the back of your car (they have 4 or 6 packs for like 20 bucks). You can easily adjust them and some hold up to 500+ pounds which is more than you will ever need.
I use those for my lights and have never looked back :)
FWIW, they are the blue straps that hold up my magnum xxl.
This is a medical collective grow which i have been contracted out as a member grower protected by SB 420 and PROP 215 in california. I have seeked expensive and professional legal advice from a specialist attorney in this field and have all the proper paperwork and documentation. All meds grown will be taken to the collective.
I read the your thread. unfortunately I have read the directions for forbid. I liked what I was seeing until I got to this page.
But to be honest this reminds me of something that is a pretty sad situation. But is way too common.
It brings up the question.Are you going to take them plants another 4 to 8 weeks?
This latter is the part that is kinda messed up.
Maybe you are not aware of the facts, if so do not take offense to me. If you are aware of the facts and have read the forbid directions.
Are you still planning on smoking the buds yourself?
I hope that you understand the potential harm you could be causing. A residual of 4 to 8 weeks mean the forbid pesticide will be in finished product. Do you know it will cause harm do you know it is safe?
Improperly using pesticides is kinda screwed up.
What if that caused harm to a patient in your collective? or maybe here is one you can relate to.. yourself?
Supposedly forbid does not attribute to the pest resistance problem. But the directions kinda points out this is not the intended application of the product. ok I understand that people use products for other things than they are intended for.
But cmon, please at least try and be more responsible. Waiting so long to let things get out of hand, you could have stopped the mites or let them go and you wouldhave caused less damage.
I want safe clean medicine. Given your choices, I think I would choose some mite shit over some forbid residue. Hey but maybe you didn't know any better. I still think there is no excuse for subjecting sick people to unsafe medicine.
Hope this is taken as education and not a bash. Hey maybe it isn't my place to say something but this is some fucked up shit.
thanks?
Hey Boomer,
Looks like you got a bit more height this time around, nice pics.
You were asking about foxtail buds, Heres my opinion.
Here I see several calyxes (look like triangle tiny thick leaves kinda) growing on top of one another.

Looks like the Trainwreck I grew.
From what I understand Foxtail buds are long and skinny with a bunch of hairs. Looks more like a fox's tail.
That guy and the forbid, I think what he was getting at is the shit may still be in the finished product. That shit penetrates and kills the eggs right? Every growers dream but is it safe? I dont know man. I bought some on eBay but chickened out and tossed it after reading it stays in the plant so long. I battle the dam things with neem/soap solution at the beginning of flower. Try to keep the temps around 70° Then foggers, dr doom and commercial actin foggers like Integra uses. Sure would be nice to spray and forget though.
thanks?
Hey Boomer.....I asked you before but I think it got skipped over. Did you ever consider ladybugs for the mites?
Hey Boom, nice update.
Sucks about the mites, but shit happens.
Definitely a foxtail.
As far as drying, I forget where I read it, but I came across some thread where the dude was a fucking fanatic about drying - had alarms and sensors and shit in a specially constructed drying room - not like some plywood and a fan, like a walk in humidor type thing.
Anyways, if memory serves he kept his temp at 70-75F and RH somewhere around 60% - said it took about three weeks of hang drying before they were ready to jar.
Like you, I'm trying to step my drying game up and am gonna contruct a special hang-dry box soon - no more 4 day drys for me.
Oh, now I remember what I wanted to ask you - with your drain to waste, what size is your reservoir? How many gallons a day do you go through? Is there any kind of sizeable pH/EC swing in between changes? I realize they'd prolly not be anything like recirculating swings, but I've gotta believe nutes just chilling in a rez for a week are gonna have some form or reaction and swing the pH, no?
I'm back off the recirculating NFT with a chiller and back on the DTW kick.
I completely agree with lead on the residual of 30-60 days. I actually did the same thing boomer did last year, saw mites, freaked out and talked to my shop and got a small amount of forbid. I used it twice and harvested 4 weeks later. I could tate something different than normal, and could only attribute it to forbid.
If you see them late in the game like that in the future, use a soap/water solution or at the very most a product like azamax that is is basically vegetable oil. it is still not reccomended. The key is to stay on a preventative plan. Alternate every few -5 days a system of forbid, avid and azamax all through veg epecially in your mother room.
just my .02
