hey if you aint smoked a bug or two ,you really hadnt smoke,garden looks just fine bro and the reward is closeEvening tokers and growers, hope your all fine and dandy. We've now reached week 8 and the plants are still alive, they have the odd problem, like the wind burn, and the constant migration of Thrips into my grow, and it's this that I wan't to draw attention to. Nearly every indoor grow I've had in the last two years has been attacked by Thrips, I've done my best to delete them permanently. Well this round I decided to roll the dice, not do any skirt lifting or leg shaving, but to let nature take it's course. I arrived at this decision by accident after sitting in the garden looking at the bitten leaves on my veg. Yep, thrips. But the strange thing is, the Thrips only ate their way up to the second set of bottom leaves, and it's a well known fact that Thrips attack damaged or weak looking leaves and plants, so I decided to leave my lovely ladies to the ravages of the Thrips, and what happened? Nothing much, the Thrips ate up to the bottom two sets of leaves, just like they did in the veg garden. So now I'm thinking that I should leave all the bottom leaves on to keep the Thrips at the bottom of the plant, and yellow card as many as I can to control the numbers. My problem is not so much the thrips them selves, as the odd bug exploding in a joint or bong is not the end of the world, maybe the end of another shirt though, or even the damage really, as those leaves are cut off during trimming, it's the bug sprays I have problems with, I really don't like spraying any thing I eat or smoke, based on what the manufacturer says is safe for me. So like I said, I let it ride, and have to say that I'm not disappointed with the results, I've done a vid so you can see the full extent of the damage, and to be fair, the thrips kept them selves to them selves. I've not seen any difference is bud size or growth, both the same, with or with out leaves, so next round the plants are going skirts down and hairy legs. lol Don't know how well the video came out, still not got round to getting another camera. lol So here it is make up your own mind.

All six plants, top view, you can see the wind burn in both corners where the fan stalls to change direction.

Buds are still fattening up, some nice dark trykes starting to put in an appearance. Loupe shots next week maybe.

In the side shot you can see the buds still have room to fatten a little more at the tops, maybe another two weeks to finish, or some of them, they're all Indica doms, so should finish with in a week of each other, can't wait. Will have to wake up the replacements to fill the flower space, all new varieties to me, and one unknown. So some thing to look forward to, and a bit of intrigue. lol

I'm trying a group of five on the next run, just to see if I'm over subscribed in the flower space. I've had 3 plants in a row in a similar shaped space and filled that, so 5 should be a breeze. In the five will be two Zskittlez, one Lemon Amnesia, one Sticky Fingers, and the unknown plant? If you look back, I had a pack of seeds that you had to grow to see which plant you had grown, then match it to the photo on the packet, well only one survived, so don't know which one until it goes into flower, then I can match it's mug shot. lol
And that's it folks, all up to date with what's happening on my patch, keep toking folks.
Everything is looking top notch man. Awesome work.Evening tokers and growers, was just looking at the buds on my flowering 6, and the difference in strains is showing quite well now, it's been hard to make them out most of the grow, but you can see the differences now.
First up is the Bubblelicious, quite a nice hit last time I grew it. Meant to be horny gear, in some horror film a couple were smoking it, Poltergeist.

Next up is a favourite of mine, Juan Herer, don't know it's origin as it was given to me as a seed.

Next is the Aurora Indica by Nirvana. Always had a soft spot for this strain, so looking forward to smoking this.

This strain was popular at one time, Purple Bud by White Label Seeds. We'll see if it fades to purple, I have my doubts. But I'm willing to proved wrong. lol

And my downfall, the one and only Super Lemon Haze, love this strain, really strong lemon zest taste, makes you feel really lively but two stoned to move, just the way I like it.

And last but not least, my Gorilla variant, got this given as a seed before Gorilla seeds were made available, so I assume it's been crossed to get it to seed? Don't know, it was a good toke last time I ran it, but I ran it with an Afgani that didn't like the same intake as the other five I grew, so in a vane attempt to keep them all happy, I fed a happy medium.Should have sacrificed the Afgani, but I wanted a quarter of black, you live and learn. So this round I put the Gorilla in with some big eaters like it's self, so I'm expecting a better return for my efforts stoned wise.

And that's an in depth on my flower space, got some amber trykes forming on the tips of the leaves, so by next week we should drowning in amber trykes. What a lovely thought. lol
Keep tokin folks.

BAD ASSSSSS! Love to watch people'z growz!!! I regret not going with super lemon haze. I was going to grow that my 1st attempt.Morning tokers and growers, it's the weekend, time to chill with your buds and your buddies and recharge. So the plants are now down, got even numbers of ambers and milkies, so should be some good smoking to be had. By next weekend we should be test smoking, can't wait.Buds won't be at there best until they're cured, but I like to know what I've got to jar, then if it's a bit down on what I need, then it can be passed over to the solid smoke department for rumbling into hash, and some how I think some will be going there anyway, love hash. I've done a quick vid to show the current state of my flower space, hung plants, cut stems, dead leaves, next time you see it, it should be repainted and all the implements will shine. And maybe a plant or two will be added, got a busy week next week, so spare time will be quite limited, and this cold weather doesn't help, I get home from work, have some thing to eat, shower, quick bong, and I'm gone, wake up and it's bedtime. lol Roll on the Summer. lol

Next week should see us all jarred up and knowing what I've ended up with, 5 gallons being the record for this space, as it was only built last year, so we'll see if we've upped our game or not. Only running 5 plants this next run, just to see if a bit more space per plant will push us over the 5 gallon harvest, we'll have to see.
That's it for this update, tune in next week to see what we end up with in total, until then, keep tokin folks, and have dapper weekend.
BAD ASSSSSS! Love to watch people'z growz!!! I regret not going with super lemon haze. I was going to grow that my 1st attempt.
I've binned the Super Lemon Haze from my grow room to make space for some thing different, but it keeps coming back, love lemon strains. Put a SLH in your next line up, you'll not be disappointed.
