@Waira def been some blind faith this year with the rain. I think a lot of wisdom has been gained here on AFN that gave me the patience to not be hasty as well as make some good decisions this year. The garden got a good treatment of Monterey BT today and trimmed off some worm rot spots and a branch. When harvest time comes I already have my wash team prepared. My garden sprayer will be loaded with H2o2 and Water to do a quick pre spray and the ice chest will be filled with water, lemon juice and baking soda for phase 2 wash and then on to clean water washes. Looking forward to a good harvest.
Bt is priceless at times! I am muchly blessed this year, the caterpillars have not been as bad as usual, bud worm in particular!
group effort on the processing, also priceless! Any time I start to whinge about my trim-jail time, I look to guys like you and Jean-O who are serving back-to-back sentences plus Volume penalties -

...bud washing is a giant PITA, but really worth it! The scuzz left in the water afterwards tells all the tale I need to hear

Next year mate, look into RotBlock. I don't know why they ghosted on us here during testing, and were no-response A-holes to several who reached out to them at their website including me... I'll see if boss Hobbes can kick the cage hard enough to get a WTF outta them! I hear a couple decent feedback reports from them, but not enough to be sure,... Most the testers here just didn't really put it to a proper real-world test. I was slated too this year, but they bailed with no explanation
.... BotryStop seems unlikely to be offered at the home consumer level, otherwise I'd steer you that way....
Hello again! Amazing grows everyone! my aces keep flowering and i love how they look. I'm a bit disappointed so far quantity wise as i expected a huge harvest and it falls a bit short on this aspect but the beauty and the quality of them makes up for it. Of course you never know that till you harvest. I even seem to have some kind of purple haze sativa pheno and i'm very happy with that since i have never stumbled upon a purple one and i only grow sativas. Anyway enjoy the pics!

shweeeeeeet! They all look right on point Moutros, fine growing of some challenging stuff
..... Love the purple girl, indeed some does show up now and again,... Colombian is one I've seen, maybe you can show a pic to the ACE folks and they can offer possible insights if you're curious...
Looks like you just might have one at least done in a month, and we can wiggle a little extra time out for you since you have followed through consistently!
Forget yield man, the nature and quality of the highs you are likely to get on these will be far more worthy... Some special stuff is in there, I'm positive, like nothing you can buy anywhere! .... Next season, go for Golden Tiger, Malawi, Killer A5 Haze... At another forum I'm at, these are known outstanding cultivars, favored greatly for personal breeding too! Ribbzzy here grew GT, and it was plain dangerous stuff, not for noob's or twitchy peeps-
fierce potency and a high only landrace crosses can offer!
I see that Sweet has a Tropicanna FV that i'm already drooling over for next year but I want a back up if i do another outdoor photo, so I was trying to source Rotblock. I messaged them on FB as well but they haven't been on there since February it appears
Well maybe it's just a server/site issue, so we'll see.....
