Your plants still look great no matter all the recent stress they have had.

The term is threadjacking and no, you didn't come anywhere close to it. If anything I write makes you go "hey, I wonder if that may be happening to me?" that is a good thing.

As to if you have the rot, if you have an extended period of wet weather, it is always possible. Go out and check. Look in the fatest part of the main top, and the places that are shaded.

From what I hear you have had a strange season too. Never hurts to pull up a seat and go over everything.

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep an eye on the fattest bud. You are a veritable fount of knowledge!! :thumbsup: You seem to be very experienced and can save your plants from rain, wind, stress, thieves......even your broken plants that you tied back up with their frames, good job!
I feel so bad for LSY and his thievery problem...if only we could all mentally hang out in his yard and gang up on the cowards.

I just had a question about this, have you tried using cloning gel on the areas that look to be getting moldy or rotten? I tried it once and it seemed to work, because it's supposed to disinfect without hurting the plant. Well, obviously depends on the kind of cloning gel. It also may have been that I stopped watering near the base of the plant. I was just wondering, to see if anyone else had tried the gel.

ALSO! What I found for my outdoor plants that worked fairly well was putting my plant on a bigger mound of dirt, so that the water leaks away from the immediate root system a bit faster. The only issue I had was that some of the top soil washed down, but I replaced it with dry dirt and redwood bark and the bark seemed to keep things from sliding down.

I'm still considering moving to Hawaii.

I'll be on AIM if anyone would like to chat.

Hello my friend, looks like you once again saved your girls from the strange rain you had previously said, there isn't much rain to deal with. Its been a strange season for everyone this year. A lot of people are complaining about how their plants are taking so long to begin flowering. And lots of rain which brings out the snails, bugs and rot:wtf:. But you really know how to make your cages work for ya:thumbsup:. Sure wish i could make one as two days of rain blew the Edna over. I tied her back a bit and added soil to the area around the stems and ran it over good with my back wheels to pack it in to stabilize the plant a bit more. This stem looks a lot like your big short one thats real close to the ground plant, thats why i put the rope around it to let the plant move with the wind, but not as far as to brake the branches. I saw a chopper looking the other day and my heart was in my throat the entire time. It flew a mile away in about 5-6 circle's then came my way, but went right over it twice without slowing down. Im hoping this is a good sign, but will feel better in a couple days. I also got a Dog a few days ago and liking her a lot. Shes my first female Dog ever and a Rotty mix. She's starting to let me know people are coming in the driveway already so im hoping soon she will get to know the back areas well.

I am letting the Edna go as she may and the others are doing ok, but still have the fungus, just not as bad. I guess im a bit freaked now after seeing the chopper, but feeling good it didn't slow down, but just circled around it and went over the area and kept going. Iv never seen them looking before, but you would think if they saw something, they might come around again to get a better look at it. Its one thats out further then the others and looks like your plain ol Christmas tree. I wanted to bend it down, but a friend told me to let her go, sure wish i laid her on the ground now. I know you have seen them before, do you know how they go about finding them at all? Im very curious:wtf:

I cant even imagine the yield your going to have, i just hope everything works out like you have planned:thumbsup:, il be shooting you an email tonight, just an FYI,


:rasta:

Those are looking great. Good job at dealing with all the mother nature bs.

I wouldnt mind moving to hawaii like you guys.... Then maybe weez can give me LED DIY classes!

Or at the very least let me play with that wild looking black cat of his.

Nugs...thank you....now please save it until harvest is in. There are a couple that are very ready. I am just starting to get there. And I am in the full paranoia mode. So far so good.

Chawa... If the mold was in a single location gel would work. Instead tiny spot break out here and there. What gets me is the constant humidity. Here is the daily readings from a weather station lower than me.

Weather Station History : Weather Underground

Humidity....100% all night.

If you are thinking of living here do it with your eyes open. Go to City Data. There are lots of comments from people that made the move. See what and how they did it.

LSY... glad you have the new dog. I won't say you are out of the woods but you have a chance. Will discuss more later. Ain't it a bitch when one falls over? Do the best you can with her, but you can leave her like that.

Since I have never seen how they GH there, I can only tell you how they work here. Do some research. Use the Google. Learn what you can. then we can compare notes.

I can sympathize with the "oh shit is that them???" feeling. That sound is hardwired into my brain. E mail me when you can.

Get This...Thank You. Flights leave daily. It is rough but some poor bastards have to live here. Weez and I are just doing our duty. Living here, so you don't have too. :D

Today I went to a good friend's only son's wedding. This was planned from quite a ways back, but for the three hours I was away, I was shitting bricks. Hurry up,.... say I do already,...yeah yeah yeah...love, honor...come on I gotta go. Wife of my youth was so pissed. Fuck the reception, gotta go home.

:D <--Beeg one!

did the typhoon mess with y'all?...I heard it was a big one?..that hit the Big Island?
