Notorious thc, bubba kush, and wrank indoors and a purple satellite outside. Hope everyone is having a good season. This last month and a half or so is the make or break time. Keep up with your environmentals inside and your IPM outdoors.
Have a question. Anyone tried anything from Romulan Genetics? I am considering the Pure Krush strain and can't find much out about them. Any feedback on the breeder or the strain would be great. I'm after a heavy indica for pain and sleep at night. Anyone grow for similar reasons? If so, what is a good strain you've had success with? A lot of the new hybrid strains look great, smell great, but I find lacking in the effect department.

Morning Shady,
I have tried the romulan /grapefruit that was offered a few years back.
The breeder is next generation seed.
Looks like he has some good stuff now! The R/G was okay, I wouldn't call it extremely potent, but had the affect i think you would enjoy. The yield was on the lower end of the mid range. Did not do well outdoors.
As far as pure indicas, I have a forbidden fruit that is pretty good. I'm using it for a breeding project.
I will reach out to a buddy of mine, he suffers with chronic pain, See what he says.
Peace

If you want a strain that you will pass out with a bowl in your hand...it's 1000 Oaks F5 IBL or the F3 from Omuerta Genetic...

Thanks everyone.
I went with Romscotti. Really wanted some romulan in the mix. BUT, that Thousand Oaks sounds outstanding. Definitely next genetic on my list.
Thanks again!

Couldn't sleep, thought I'd check in on you guys... Things are going well here, for the most part. I have made 4 crosses and am waiting for seeds to ripen. If anyone else is chucking this year, let's talk!
Peace all

I'm a S.W. Virginia grower and I just hung two of mine on the 3rd of this month, and also lost one to bud rot. I do both in and outdoor new to the indoor growing only a year or so, but prefer outdoor organic growing. This is the two drying. About your plants just keep a check on them every day, and keep them as dry as possible. When it hits it spreads fast. View attachment 2056018View attachment 2056019

I'm a SW VA grower myself. I found a surprise on my purple skunk plant this morning. It's like having a secret service agent guarding my flowers from pests!

SW VA here. Mainly indoor but dabbled in outdoor this year. Results so far I'm hooked. Learned a valuable lesson on what not to do next year. Started indoors and moved out in early/ mid May. Some but not all started flowering within a few weeks. Per daylight hours chart for my location, found daylight to be less than 14 hrs. Doink. So basically poor girls went from 18/6 to around 13.5/10.5. The ones that flowered did eventually re-veg and re-flowered Doink. Now just hoping for continued cool nights and dry days. If anyone wants to write a book on how not to grow, be sure to check with me first.

Hey man we've all done it LOL. I sure did one year had 7 reveg. After all the flowers dried up turned brown i stripped off as much as i could to allow new leaf & growth to form and it was ugly! Lesson learned. But you did execellent with the recovery, best of luck for a warm dry harvest time. I'm in Oregon but enjoy all the Virginians posts.

Anybody in the 757 area looking to add 1-3 plants to their grow? I have 3 that I've put a lot of time and effort into but I can't finish due to irl issues. One GSC one sour diesel and a unknown thats got great potential. I would hate for them to just wither an die. So any takers hit me up. Happy growing to all.

I'm in Northern Virginia Metro area. I have a little Blueberry Pancakes from Humbolt Seeds that I got started late but she is putting up a few pretty buds that smell very sweet. Unfortunately she is outside in my vegetable garden and I think the tomatoes or chiles have attracted caterpillars. It's very small so I'm not sure what kind it is. I've found and plucked off 3 in 2 days. I really don't want to spray anything on these buds.
Can anyone identify this little bugger? And has anyone successfully controlled them by hand picking them off every day?
Thanks and check your plants everyday now that the buds are so close.

I spray weekly in flower with BT which is a bacteria that attacks caterpillars digestive systems and prevents them from eating. Completely harmless to humans, pets and other insects. Can be used up to day of harvest but i don't use it for last couple of weeks. In early and mid flower they can borrow into buds and cause bud rot so they definitely need to be controlled. Good Luck to everyone down the stretch. We've been having great weather here in Fredericksburg, hope it lasts. Love walking through the greenhouse this time of year

Thank you @orggrwr and @F1cultivator for your BT suggestion. From everything I've read that looks like the best option. I was hoping that plucking them off by hand and checking them several times a day would do but yesterday I saw more and I got freaked. I went online to see who had BTk on the shelf so I could go get it but none of the big boxes have it on the shelf, and to buy online they said delivery would take 4 days. Apparently they all use a supplier in Pennsylvania. I spent an hour checking local garden centers and I finally found it, got it, mixed it and sprayed. I hope that takes care of the little buggers. I'm looking forward to experiencing that sweet Blueberry Pancakes effect.

I'm thinking that next season I'm going to build a box frame wrapped in mesh big enough to cover my plants, (8 feet tall or 12 feet tall, I don't know), and set it over the plants at night when the moths come to lay eggs. Think I'll do the same for the determinate tomatoes.

I'm a outdoor grower and battle these little mofos every year. I've sprayed more this year than years past and still i've got them. I don't know how to not have this issue unless you do enclose an area like a giant aviary or a huge hoop house. But they are less this year and way smaller than i saw last year.

Does any one else practice bud washing when they harvest an outdoor crop? You wouldn't believe the things that come out of the flower...it only takes a few kitchen items and a few minutes of your time...time well spent!

Is there anything in those buckets besides water? and does washing them wash off trichomes? That kind of always had me thinking.

Yes, the first bucket has 1 cup hydrogen peroxide, second bucket has 1 cup lemon juice and 1 cup backing soda ( the acid and base combine to make a natural astringent) and 2 rinse buckets. Just gently swish the branches around in each bucket for 30 seconds or so then hang to drip dry for an hour or so then dry as you normally would. As long as you wash at harvest and make sure the water isn't too cold it won't effect the trichs. I've even started washing my indoor grows just to get off most off the cat hair.
