green lacewing larvae are way awesome and eat more then ladybugs.My biggest problem is my yard is an insect oasis. I stay 99%organic in the veggies. I have used 7 dust b4 but last resort a few years back
The landscape is a different story. I use bifen xts. Wonder if I am killing off more beneficial insects than pests????
Unsure how you get that number because seeds are way more expensive unless your growing hemp. Like most professionals use mothers because it’s cheaper cause unlimited cuttings and it’s all same genetics, if you get a hermie wouldn’t alot of your crop be destroyed basically, besides for extracts ? How can you sell a brand of weed without the same pheno lol. Man this gives me hope.
Luckily I do seem to have a decent population of them. I mostly see them in my fruit trees.green lacewing larvae are way awesome and eat more then ladybugs.
I get mites too I try to catch them right away and release green lacewings Larvae every 3 weeks. For a total of 9 weeks. And then use neem oil to keep the bad bugs away. Captain jacks dead bug brew if the critters try to gain a foothold again.My biggest problem is my yard is an insect oasis. I stay 99%organic in the veggies.

If that’s the case your boss is going to be killed by guys like me. Haha haha, I have a degree in business and my family’s are ogs,your bleeding money, I’m coming for ya boi. Breeder gang gang. Let the strong over come haha.Thank you for your opinion, but "most professionals"... Lol, we are definitely not the majority. There is a lot that 3 pictures and a couple sentences don't say. Let me help you understand while keeping it short.
Try to grasp the amount of overhead a clone room, mother room, and the employees to tend them year round. Think commercial scale... propane, electricity, wages, nutes, trays, cubes, etc, etc. Then consider doing all that months before you spend $250,000 to build out another property, while feeling out the market flux in the last 5 years.
I have a pretty good idea, because there is a clone room nextdoor feeding the 80k sqft of recreational greenhouses. This is 1 of I don't know how many properties. We feel it can be worth it for indoor and deps but not feasible for outdoor flower prices.
Then consider the states rec rules and what type of canopies are allow on property. Don't forget about buying registered clones form a registered producer.
The owners have properties that produce industrial hemp seed, hemp flower seed, and cannabis seed. They also own a few dozen dispensaries in 4 states. I keep my nose out of that. Seed is far cheaper for us when building from scratch.
Another aspect is we are putting 10 new strains into the market. Of those strains, we are doing a pheno hunt for next year. This is our process.
FWIW, I just build an manage farms. Selling the product, number crunching, and worrying about it is the owners job.
So full eh! I love growing these strains and phenos. I'm doin cream caramel from seed (fem). They look identical to yours, and my two o.g. kush are just all over the place but have been trained for four months now roughly. Lol. Nice babies, happy growing dude!Hey all, hope everyone is doing well on this fine day! I'm new here so I thought I'd get started by sharing my current outdoor grow that I have going on. I am currently growing some unknown strains that I have acquired over last year, they are all mother plants. I've been doing a combination of LST and HST and I currently have about 11 females and some males that I might keep to breed but I'd guess that I have approximately 3 sativa's, 1 indica and the rest appear to be hybrids, let me know what you guys think!View attachment 977094View attachment 977095View attachment 977096View attachment 977097
To me it looks like a mag deficiency and possibly even too much N. Was the chicken manure composted for a couple of yrs before you used it?this is my critical strain in a 4x4 raised bed. i threw the soil together underneath and added some castings, peat, cow, chicken manure, vermiculite, perlite, bunch of dry amendments. whatever i had at the end of last year. really did a poor job and regretting it slightly as im creating a no till. i've flushed three times now and still getting weird new growth in the veins of leaves like theyre eating themselves. so i need to act now and ask for help! its been getting better since planting outside, but not much. stink bug and caterpillars are hungry and all over this one. set up two more hummingbird feeders around this lady. am i dealing with a magnesium problem? too much P, K? should be plenty of nitrogen in the ground. any input appreciated

It's pretty hard to flush organic nutes. They were meant to be broke down over a long period of time. I wouldnt give it ANY MORE NUTRIENTs for a bit. At least not the ones high in N. I would however give it a TBS of espom salt (its just magnesium and sulfer) in a gallon of water every 2 weeks. Add a tbs of molasses to that too to feed the microbes.thanks. ive never had mag def yet i was thinking that could be the issue. i added glacial rock dust, kelp meal, bone meal, blood meal, bat guano below top soil. the chicken manure was bought from a bag at the garden centre. said it was "aged" whatevr that means. top dressed with that and castings, etc. and mixed some into transplant hole. i definitely wasnt shy on adding amendments that were heavy on nitrogen. think your spot on with your reply. should i continue to flush out the nitrogen? and maybe top dress with a dry amendment heavy in mag?
