West Coast Vaper

AntZilla going to sleep as the full moon rises on the West Coast. This little one is surely testing the elements out here. High temperature. Low to no humidity. Strong hot winds. Me forgetting to water. Only the ants feeding the soil.

I know that stoner problem. Do the lights go on at 6 or did they go off at 6. Mmmmm? Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

It's the police distracting from the fact they stuffed up with the fire. Police are in charge of security at national key points or should I say the lack of security. That a homeless dude wandered into a fenced precinct, climbed through a window and took a stroll through a building that has security cameras on every corner. No one in the security control room noticed this. But our great police service caught the terrorist 3 hours later. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Yep. I tend to just remove the juicy leaf. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

What I tend to do with my outdoors is give the plants a fairly good mist spray with the hose pipe once the plant is strong enough. A good spray under the leaves really disturb any of the pests plans. My main problem tends to be those miner things (forget correct name now) at the moment. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

I read on a previous thread about the meter box thingy was giving some guys problems so they disconnected it. My wattage fluctuates ever so slightly but my electric experience tells me to leave shite alone until I know what I'm doing. Reach out directly to @Light It Up, the guys are supper helpful.

Arm twisted. Bush Pub happy hour frosty. Time to cool down.

My son and myself spent most of the day under the tree in a massive bin filled with water watching this plant getting nailed in the wind. Was wondering if I should put up some sort of protection but decided against doing that. If the ants wanted shade they would have chosen a shady spot. Some burnt tips but marching on. Science project mother nature continues.

Plant about 30 days old.

35° in the cabinet. 41° in the shade. 53° in the open. Hot breeze blowing. Neighbouring farms on fire. Average day in the bush

5 days in the drying cabinet and trim time. Small, dense buds. Thumb size on average. 46g thumb buds. 23g popcorn.

So on day 66 Tortoni clone got chopped. Gave it a bud wash using 3 buckets (wash, rinse, rinse) then a gentle pressure spray, gave them a spin dry (standing in the garden spinning my arms slowly getting funny looks from the landlady) and hung to dry for a few moments. Then into the drying cabinet. I'm sold on this bud wash story. Looks like I'll be getting a bit of smoke from this plant after all. Was not the best clone but looking forward to the weighing.

Harvester ant, also known as harvesting ant, is a common name for any of the species or genera of ants that collect seeds (called seed predation), or mushrooms as in the case of Euprenolepis procera, which are stored in the nest in communal chambers called granaries.[1] They are also referred to as Agricultural ants. Seed harvesting by some desert ants is an adaptation to the lack of typical ant resources such as prey or honeydew from hemipterans. Harvester ants increase seed dispersal and protection, and provide nutrients that increase seedling survival of the desert plants. In addition, ants provide soil aeration through the creation of galleries and chambers, mix deep and upper layers of soil, and incorporate organic refuse into the soil.[2] From what I can find so far on what I think is a Veromessor Pergandei common name Harvester Ant.

Like when you pick up a pot plant and find an ant nest. Interesting [emoji1690] Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Whatever strain it is it's one tough plant. Gonna have to read up on what happens in an ant nest. Are the ant tunnels aerating the roots or are the ants eating the roots? Is the plant matter the ants are carrying into the nest all been eaten or is some of it composting? Let's see. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Day 65. Zoom in on pic #1 and you'll see the spider mite problem. Then on one of the bud shots. So today is the day I'm thinking of switching off the lights. You hear and read about a period of darkness before harvest. Do you guys think it's worth me doing it as this plant is getting a bud wash and going towards edibles as people out here in the bush don't mind a bit of protein with their greens. Time to give the cabinet a once over and decide on the next grow.

Braai time is update time. Gets water when the garden gets water. Up to twice a day. Now and again a bit of molasses when I mix for indoor. Wind battering the FcUK out of it and the ants keep on dragging all sorts of things into their nest under it.

Day 59 22/12. Small, sticky dense buds and a nice fruity aroma. The spider mite problem is still affecting one part of the plant but doesn't seem to be getting any worse.

Came across this little one last week. How the seed got there, dunno. I usually scatter ungerminated seeds in one area of the garden. Here's the thing. Nothing usually grows in this area of the garden and the plant is smack bang in the middle of an ant nest. My wife thinks an ant brought it home. The soil is not ideal so I'm wondering how the ant nest is going to affect the plant. Ants are loving the molasses I think. In the last pic to the left of the leca you will see an ant at work. The plant will either be from @Totemic or @Bay Seedsas that's all I've been growing the last while. Let's see if this survives and hopefully I can recognize it.

Hey man. So no holes. When I do use domes I kinda keep an eye on it. Taking it on and off. Mainly on at night, helps keeping bugs away and keeps temps up. Mornings I take it off until the day gets beyond hot then I give them a light spray. Bearing in mind I use a shade house. Summer I don't bother much with domes. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

Day 50 12/12

Thanks. It's a start to the learning process. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk

If he hasn't got access to cannabis soil could he not try soil for tomatoes at the local nursery and work from there. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk
