I've had plants do that when they reveg, but some of my earlier Mango Kush ladies had 3 pointed leaves and they were grown from seed. Maybe some genetic anomaly caused it but, I'm sure it's not always a mutation. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

They doing great. 2x Ladies in the greenhouse are still flowering (checking trichs). Only harvested 1x outdoor girl so far.(taste tests were very good) Still got a big lady in the ground with about another week to go. But will do an proper update on the thread. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

The forest of delight is starting to get yummy. 1/2. The GG cut from @Mambawana Looking pretty, she's putting on weight and started leaning over, will be needing extra support. 3/4. Our FruitPunch lady doing what she does best and getting top heavy. We had some heavy rain for a few days last week, some of the outdoor ladies started drooping. I'm assuming it was a sign of ''over watering'',luckily the rain stopped and they all looking perky again.

Ahoy@Dank We also enjoy the Swazi flavours, we have 3 ladies, all cuts from last year as we couldnt procure any swazi pollen. They just started preflowering- very late starters. The Fruitpunch leans heavily to the moms fruity sweet mango flavours, but some of the Swazi citrus does sneak in. We like the way the buds form all along her stem and branches, with the minimum of sugar leaves- she's a breeze to trim. The babies planted out yesterday have peaked above ground and some are allready 30mm tall. 12 out of 20 isn't terrible for year old beans. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Ahoy fellow horticulturists. Been doing some breeding work with our self dubbed ''Fruitpunch'' cross. This lady is the preliminary result of what was started with our Mango kush last year. She showed very vigorous germination and growth, compact strong structure. Soaked the beans 12hrs, transferred to moist paper towel for 24hrs and boom.... 10-20mm taproots, transplanted to soil this morning and they peaking out the soil this afternoon. They want to grow. She is relatively mould and drought resistant and technically an autoflower due to her Ruderalis roots. Introduced some Swazi gold genes to boost her structure and resistance. Harvested about 100 beans from her. Results so far are very positive, she is ticking most of the boxes for what I want from her. Some of my companion plants (gemsquash/butternut) have pm on them but none of my other plants, which to me, is a very good sign. Thinking of doing do a backcross to stabilise this wily lady.

Aweh...@Mambawana Some pics of the organic GG as promised She took well to the organic soil frosty and terpy.

Cool man, thats almost like a ''humble beginnings'' story. She's all grown up now, giving my ''Fruitpunch'' a run for the money..hehe. I'll post a pic later on. If she had more time to veg, she would have been a dank frosty monster.....[emoji3] Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Looks like you are busy.....[emoji3] The ladies are looking good. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Some nice cola building structure. Looking promising. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Maybe Ecobuz pestpro and Larvae pro could help. Worms are a pain in the butt and their droppings are are like starter packs for fungi. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Those brown dry buds look suspiciously like bud rot or dry rot. The fungus is pretty nasty and can spread, I would suggest removing all that are affected carefully, so you don't spread the spores. If it is fungus, those buds are useless anyway. If you cut branches it might be a good idea to seal them with a commercial sealer or a honey and powder cinnamon mix to prevent infection. I would suggest you topdress that pot with a 5-10cm layer of medium/compost. Roots dont like being exposed to light/air. Could always place the brick on top of the compost if you need extra weight.

Evening@SAgrower Pics of the whole plant are good, but pls also add close up pics of the problem areas. Here is what I can see. 1. That plants looks like you are spraying something- milk for pm? (White spots) 2. Are the bricks for stability? What size is that bag? Maybe she is rootbound. 3. Is the brick on the right cutting into the stem at all? 4. Some of those brown buds look like bud rot but need a close up pic. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Some nice colours with yellow fade and purple. Looks good. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Hi Vanessa, We've been growing in the greenhouse/tunnel from Aug 2019, this winter will be the first. The north coast weather is very mild in winter, lowest temp about 10deg C at night, so we grow 12mnths of the year. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Small update... plant is still alive and flowering. The infected areas haven't gotten larger, but it looks as if she is struggling a bit. The fungus blocks the channels in the xylem effectively cutting off nutrient supply from the roots to the rest of the plant. Will reapply and see what happens, but not expecting a bumper harvest from this one. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Ants you can kill on contact with soapy water, it dissolves the wax coating on their eksoskeleton and they die. You can also use borax and icing sugar, 50/50 mix with bit of water(mix to thick paste) as a bait around nests, ants like sugar and carry it into the nest and they die.(not safe with pets and kids) Otherwise there are many commercial products available, some more nasty than others. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Thats plant scale. There are a few species, they may live in symbiotic relationship with ants. Do a google search, they are not good for your plants and can do enough damage to eventually kill them. You can manually remove them or spray them with an oil/soap solution. Ants around plants like in your pics are usually bad news. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Morning, went the honey and cinnamon route with this lady. Scored the cambium vertically in the affected areas in short/shallow 2cm cuts to aid penetration. Applied the honey and cinnamon paste to the affected parts of the stem, then wrapped it up with a breathable material. Never done anything like this before so will have to see how she handles it. Cheers

Thanks for the reply@CreX and@Dank The plant is allready in flower(early stages) so I am hesitant to use a systemic fungicide. Would a contact fungicide be a better option? No point in saving the plant and you can't use the buds. Will try the mentioned remedies and research a bit more. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I'm prepared to try the above mentioned@Dank. From what I've read the prognosis is pretty grim- amputate affected limbs and buds to control the spread. But as can be seen its in the main stem allready. Would also like to try a different technique that's being used in the states. PH swing spraydown- low ph follow by high ph. Thanks for the reply.

Howzit gromies, Noticed some strange leaf colouration on this plant and upon futher investigation found some unpleasant signs. The plant stem seems to be rotting and there is a dark/black colour going up the stem like an infection. Had a look on the interweb, think it's either Fusarium or Septoria- both are pretty nasty, but Fusarium is a killer. Septoria doesn't affect the stem and roots which brings me back to Fusarium as it can affect the roots, stem and leaves. Its a nasty fungus thats difficult to treat and can spread or just lie dormant in the soil. It may still be in early stages which could be why the syptoms dont add up but, I'm not taking any chances, plant has been isolated and we hope for the best. What do you guys think, opinions are welcome. Cheers (All pics taken today)

Depends on your weapon of choice... I haven't got a camera so I use my phone. Obviously a digital camera should improve the results dramatically. Started with my Samsung A5, that took brilliant photos. Bloody thing died on me, something about ''black screen of death'' they said. Now relegated to my old Samsung S5, which doesn't take the greatest pics, but it does the job. Lighting, background and composition plays a big role, but I don't always have the time to play around to get the perfect shot and I don't like moving the plants around too much either. It is what it is. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Aweh fellow florists Our greenhouse is getting very pretty and smelly. Almost everything has gone into flower, even the ''slower'' more Sativa dominant ladies have decided to join the party. They are recieving flowering mix with a few amendments when needed. Have managed the Ca defs with powdered eggshell and Mg with epsom, so far so good. Pic 1/2. Is a f3 auto flower cross I'm working on, dubbed ''Fruitpunch'' Pic 3/4/5 . The Gorilla lady, a cut that was sponsored by @Mambawana that I've introduced to organic soil from coco. She is frosty af. Pic 6/7. Is a Seedsman Purple Bud, only 1x of the 4 beans germed. Was planted a bit late in the season, hence the small structure, but she's doing great. Pic 8/9. We have 2x of these Herbnation Cheese autos, must be some of the longest vegging auto's ever, but finally going into flower. Very dense bushy ladies, very compact structure. Lots of flavours and scents coming from our happy place greenhouse. Cheers

Evening fellow horticulturists, Our Giant Cookie Birds are doing well and are finally starting their flowering. These tall voracious ladies can be a handfull, they just never seem to get enough. One of the girls in the greenhouse exceeded the 2.4m limit and had to be relocated to mother earth to finish up. Since flowering started, been feeding them apple/banana and molasses smoothies with ecobuz and epsom. They're an easy strain to grow if you can keep up with their appetites and space requirements. Had no serious pests and so far zero pm issues- typical sativa.... They are the some of the last plants to start flowering in our forest. Hoping their flowering(bud) vigour equals their vigour in growth. Good times ahead. Puff puff pass. Cheers.
