What is the white fabric?

What is the white fabric?

It's a tarp. There are others over there. It keeps the Blackberries at bay. They can send up new growth 15-20' from the rootball. They pop up in the yard out of nowhere even still. They are choking out one of the peach trees that has gotten overgrown with Blackberries. The tarps are the only thing that works. They also keep the pots of the grass. Any crawlers want to get at my plants they're hafta work for it.

If I get the ok from the overlord, I'm going to lay out a huge one this fall. Create some bare ground for planting and a greenhouse next year.

Thanks for that

I also found that if I keep BT and labs on them it really helps fight off the onset.

Thanks. Bti goes in the soil mix and regular foliar of plants and outside of pots. They get ⅓8k8(7kk5e8k686elab, photo and scavenger bacteria foliar twice ¹ month I can get one more if those in before flower onset. I still need to pick up amylo.

The mutant is getting the axe! Scab and scale at the same time. The scab is starting at the nodes and not the leaves. It's most likely the systemc kind of scab so she's toast. Being a mutual she probably isn't starting with the greatest immune defenses to begin with.

She was grown in soil from last year. Did the recommended prep but chose not to use it except this one. I only put it in a pot from last year. Prepped that too. First time I've reused soil. First time I've had either disease. Last time I reuse soil. Spores probably spread during rainy season. Ugh!

Haven't posted here for awhile. Been really busy in studio doing the tedious work of mixing and mastering some songs I've been putting off

Tha last of thr training wheels came off the GDP.

Blueberry Cupcake is bushing nicely. I've seen 3 different mutations in this plant.

Airheadz are getting really tall. One seems to want to branch out more than the other. Might try to take a couple cuts from one.

The canopy is 8+' tall...just for perspective.

The mutant pulled through and still being kinda weird.

The normal Notorious THC is.....well.....slow.....slow to sprout, slow to grow.

And the Guinea Pig is still trying to catch up.

All big interior eaves removed and the canopy is wide open and getting lots of sunshine.

I attempted to build a greenhouse today. We'll see if it's still standing tomorrow. Lol

 

[TopShelfTender]

You’ve been productive. Mixing can be such a grind, but it's worth it in the end.

 

[RootFarmer]

It's still standing.....but I think I'm gonna need a bigger boat....

Will need to add a peak I think.

I had mentioned seeing 3 different mutations on one of the Blueberry Cupcake plants. Here are pics of 2 of them. I thought I had a pic of the 3rd one which is a strange yellow streaky pattern on just 3 blades of one fan leaf set that repeats. Appears mostly on new growth and eventually greens up but there is a noticeable color variation in the shade of green that remains.
One is a little leaf cup that grew on just one big fan leaf. Haven't seen another yet.

Another is extra blades growing out on each leaf set.

I had extra blades on one of my plants too.

Well look at that.

Sounds like variagation. I have a couple plants skunk striping and variegating here and there. Comes and goes. They caught a mosaic virus from a goldenrod bush near by. Prob gave it to all my plants. Variegation on cannabis is almost always mosaic virus of some kind related. Usually it's 100% benign.

I knew the goldenrod variegation was there, planted anyway, was curious what would happen. 2 of my plants do indeed variegate now.

OJ x BB 2

This leaf has been this way for a while. Some her leaves do this. Most don't.

Biggs. She expressed the variegation differently

She only has a couple variegated leaves. One has a finger that's half skunk stripe. But of course now I can't find it. Found this one though

My OJxBB #3 has a fascinated branch that originated from a triploid seedling.

The reverted growth has a ton of fan leaves that look like hands too. I think this plant is a chimera or something.

 

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

Sorry for double post. This is the golden rod they caught the mosiac from. Thought ya may find it interesting.

I took a cut from my best Airheadz yesterday.

So far so good.

Good for you and good luck.

Thanks she's shown some nice growth structure and vigor. Hardly a blemish on her while the others have had little freak ours here and there from a ph flux or minor deficiency. Thought about taking a GDP cut also. She's a beast but I don't really know exactly how I'm going to keep the airheadz momma going. I live in an art studio. Whatever space isn't dedicated to creating/storing artwork or music production is living space. It's not cramped just a lot of stuff everywhere. While GDP has medicinal value, the airheadz is a favorite and excellent creative strain. And the terps go to 11. Lol

Your girlies are very beautiful, and very stout. Cant wait to see em start flowering.


Got fingers crossed you see a few of these this season lol. I had a legendarily dank Dela Haze years ago that did this. Did those weird center fan fingers you got on some of the fan leaves in veg too. (photo from google)

those clips for sampling are in your DM's my brother.

Sorry for double post

Thanks. Definitely some stout girls. Spotted a few preflower pistols on 2 or 3 so won't be long.

Who knows but weirdness follows me wherever I go so.... Lol

Oh man that's awesome! Thanks! I'll go check them out!
