Photoperiod Death's Ceaseless Cycle

[Death The Cultivator]

Just a quick update. I also found root aphids on some clones, apparently these and fungus gnats are common in Coco. I will be purchasing some
Beauveria bassiana - (1.0 lb) Amazon product to treat the problem

Getting near that time to start pruning the lower branches but I'll give it a week. 7lb bag of Greenleaf Nutrients Sweet Candy came today and I believe I will order a bag of Koolbloom soon to complement the GH Maxi Series. Thinking about transitioning back to Growpito as I believe I can restore all of it with a heavy dose of nematodes and Bassiana - of the opinion it was filled with root aphids. It will be a slow transition as Coco is so easy I don't want to have anymore mistakes but I do prefer Growpito.

The ladies look amazing, lush greeny looking all around. Being hit with MaxiGro until about week 4 and just gave them a foliar of Castile as I found some young clones with stippling and eggs on some leaves. I'd like to invest in an ozone machine as I could kill everything in the Growpito and sterilize equipment much better. Have 9 more Panama to go into the 5x5 but I'm out of 5 gallon pots so only 2/9 are in them already.

An excellent miscalculation on my end but with the clones I cut out 15% time to harvest - so I was on time lol. It has been awhile since my last update, long work hours and a car accident have created some delays. Pretty excited with the way the Copacabana Haze turned out but I absolutely hate the structure of the Diesel Deluxe cut I kept. It's taken me awhile to get everything growing well but I'm finally getting back there.

The Diesel Deluxe just has a bad structure and smells like a locker room. I'm keeping cuts just in case but I'm hard pressed to not kill this off. Copacabana Haze turned out well and I'm sure I could do it even better without root aphids but not a bad grow overall, smells great and I love the overall structure.

Not much else to say but thanks for following.

This was some bullshit that I overcame lol. So a few weeks ago I was watering in at a 4.7ph for who knows how long until I discovered my meter had went out of calibration. I fixed it with a strong flush but the damage was already done. Now I have a great hate for defoliation under the common belief that the plant doesn't need all the leaves or that it improves yield. I don't think it is necessary unless there is a concern for mold and or pest. So, when all this happened with my pH I was actually very happy to have not removed any leaves or branches because my the time the plants recovered from the issues I still had more than enough leaves left.

About day 21 I switched over to a 2.4ec 6.3ph solution of the MaxiBloom along with Sweet Candy. Today they'll be receiving a treatment or Bassiana to deal with the root. They are doing very well and I'm pleased the with current bud development, I believe we're on track for another decent harvest. I do wish I had put 9 plants in instead of 6 but I think we're all good.

Nice recovery!

Glad to be here at this point. This was an excellent veg with the smallest plants being late transplants. Many delays presented themselves due to the spider mites and root aphids I've finally exterminated. This run involves 8 Panama Haze and 1 Diesel Deluxe in the left corner. She is mother and because my life circumstances could change I withheld some Panama Haze from this cycle.

Everything was already in 5 gallons or freshly transplanted so I'm giving everything Week to transition. They're all treated with nematodes and Bassiana in 100% Coco using 2.4ec and 6.2ph MaxiGro with Sweet Candy. I can't gush enough about how much I love GLN's SC.

I've thrown everything into flower after handling a few issues that occurred, took all the pics with manual focus - still pretty hype to get my camera but I can ramble about that more later. So to recap, I'm working with 8 Panama Haze and 1 Diesel Deluxe in the back left.


Ordered a net with these neat pole clips and I went ahead and lightly scrogged after flipping to flower today. Everything took very well to the transplant plus weave but the right plants need a stronger flush. Found root aphids attacking some of my plants now that I know they aren't fungus gnats but the Bassiana takes a few weeks to work. The other issue is that they molt and can fight the fungus that way but I've been applying this stuff weekly. Sprayed everything down with Castile and I'll stick to that for every three days for a few weeks.


I've also got some clones of the Copacabana Haze along with Panama Haze looking amazing in Coco. Geeked for this camera kit I've been piecing together for nearly a year with obsessive research and deep thought. Finally settled on the Fujifilm x pro 3 along with Venus' 65/33/9 manual focus lenses plus the Fuji xc 15-45 zoom lens. Going to be doing some really dope extreme macro photography for trichomes and in general. Really hate my camera phone but I also like dedicated tools.

This is my healthiest veg to date that will be even more successful when I calibrate my pH meter. Don't use Bassiana in a reservoir, the carrier powder makes it gross. I'll bottom prune these around a week in and try to get any larf.

Looking good so far, keeping Castile going every two days. I'm pretty happy with the weave and overall growth, I'll prune more in another week but super happy.

It will be nice to move from this house and build my best grow properly. The pest issues have been exhausting on top of the deceased quality that my bud has yielded. Really accustomed to pulling 1.5-2lbs per harvest but my average has dropped to 3/4lb every harvest.

It's official, I'm moving in may and this will be last grow until I get settled somewhere new. It's an illegal state, it puzzles people as I'm leaving a legal state. Coming from illegal to legal in Missouri has been a joke that didn't change my circumstances as a grower compared to pre legalization. I'm not too fond of the culture here either in regards to cannabis, overall I'm a hermit that could give a fuck about Canna conventions and meeting up.

Anyways, on to the plants. As this is my last grow it is looking amazing but I'm glad this will be the last one for awhile. I've been needing new equipment and a fresh start after fighting spider mites.

Not much to report on these as they've been drinking and received their last prune a few days ago. This is going to be an amazing grow though. I can report back that I'm not really liking any of the three strains from LBH, not really satisfying my palate the way Malawi x Panama/Zamaldelica x Kali China for sativas or in general.
