Hey guys, y'all won't believe this, but B just emailed me and said they are still looking for some Jamaican x Aruba testers and they saw my post on here about wanting some since I live in a humid place anyways he emailed me saying that he was touched from my first email and remembered me so he is going to send me another package so I can test it out! What are the odds seriously I'm feeling so thankful and thanks again B!

I was lazy last night again, need to take some photos myself. So much is always going on in the closet, with a bunch of plants. Kinda regretting popping 11 new beans, and will have to wait until the end of the month for space to start the Afkan beans. Will start at least 4 of each Afkan X Snow lotus and Afkan X 88 g13/hp. Really excited to see the differences and similarities between the two.

My next buds are a whole four to five weeks away. Making the transition to SoG ate a bit of time out the schedule. Feels so weird not having something busy finishing. Me and the wife have had to cut back to a zip per week, meh.
On the plus side, Synergy is full power pineapple skunk on each pheno. All of the place far as structure goes, this I don't like much. Got everything from a short fat fatty to the most stretchy ass plant ever, more than 4x stretch. The latter will rule the roost outdoors though. But i am scared she is going to pop through my tent lol.
Not all that blown away by White Lotus yet. They are nice, but not propa mental. I like crazy girls. Guess these fat leaved beanpoles have their place, but it is going to take some dialling in to get a decent crop out. Sativa freak one hundred percent.

I was just thinking about those broad mites and how small they are. No way a normal sprayer is going to work! I mean all you need is a .01mm gap between droplets and some can escape. This is the reason to invest in a Chapin sprayer. Atomize, diffuse, booooom. Total coverage. I feel like buying a backup.

Wasn't overly excited about the two white lotus I had either. They did battle with the summer heat and we're root bound in small containers. Not really the fairest way to judge a strain. I have both of them back in flower, so far they are looking beautiful even if they are not my cup of tea. I'll take photos when the lights come on.

Avid is systemic for around 6 weeks. You wouldn't have to worry about them having direct contact with the spray. They feed and die.

I have major issues with systemic pesticides and wont touch them with a ten foot pole. There is a discussion happening on the Bodhi thread over at the Gage forums. All about epigenetics as SHOE calls it, how cuts can go forwards as in be improved, or go backwards as in 'run out' which is fast happening to the GG4 cut. He believes as firmly as I do that systemic pesticides are a possible cause for genetic mutation. Hippie shit I know. But the last thing I want is a pesticide becoming part of my plants tissue. My wife suffers migraine and has fibromyalgia plus just beat down cervical cancer. There are risks we do not take. If I had to choose between using systemics and buying her organic bud from one of the mountain growers, I will fork out the cash. Even the slightest possibility of a known carcinogen (we smoke, enough carcinogens already) or triggering a migraine is too much. Fibromyalgia is a funny one too, she is insanely sensitive to impurities in food, drink and smoke. Commercial hash will make her vomit. Guaranteed. But my hand made full melt she can cane as much of as she wants so if worst comes to worst with a run, it is run it out, water cure, make bubble. PS: I apologise to all of you for being a dick. Brek is back so i feel much better now. This is how much of a fuss I will kick up for any of you really. It is what i do. Kinda notorious for that even around here lol. I am a little protective of my mates.

While you may "feel" systematics do that, science doesn't support it. That's not to knock your decision to avoid them, but If you'd read my link from Cornell, you'd see those statements are patently false with concerns to use of avid and similar components.

I agree. I have no science to back up my position, but it's something I'm not willing to risk for myself or my patients either way.

I view GMO food the same way. I can't prove that it's bad for you, but I sure as hell don't want to take the chance.

I don't disagree completely. We've talked about it before, but most of us are eating GMO daily. Eat fast food? GMO. Go out to dinner? More than likely GMO. Anything microwaveable? GMO

Are you asking batshit crazy Organic grower to trust a manufacturer?.. That just goes against my basic personality type lol. I don't trust 'em.

Science has often had to catch up with day to day practical experience IMO. But with the health issues... it is not about how I feel. It is about my wife not vomiting her guts out. I used to use systemics. No more. I don't care what the science knows yet, I can see the difference. I don't grow for me really, so in the end it is all about that somebody special. When she hurts, I want to die. If she hurts from something I grew... OMG... That is my definition of pure one hundred percent disappointment in myself.

For a while I couldn't grow herb she could smoke mate. I had to learn some tricks from old hippies and here on the webs. It was a really tough ride, but Living Organic Soil and a nice mild IPM is the only way for us. Otherwise like I said, we have to get from other people.

Very unique position I guess. But in my life the whole 'can't have your cake and eat it' thing really does hold true. I am definitely going the rather safe than sorry route, because a contaminated crop is worse than anything over my side. I would rather have it ugly.

Well I decided to get some pics, here be some Synergy shots:

This one is totally batshit crazy lol. Fat, funky little bush

Her sister is also friggin nuts. The tall one

This girl is a real looker. YUM


Got the Dank Sinatra Remix running stable. Test clone flowered just fine. Never got pics. You want your head crushed in and your body totally numb? This is the one. My gods. BRUTAL.

I don't trust manufactures either. And science can be wrong. The idea is its suppose to be self correcting. The scientific process has done so much to get us this far. Taken us to space, tripled our life span, given us the ability to use the Internet so I can be I metro Detroit right now, typing this to you in SA... fucking amazing!

My issue is the idea that this process is unregulated, screws up local crops, IP rulings and the idea we can just insert a gene so we can pollute the environment with roundup

I am not saying use systematics regularly. I've used them on one crop, twice. I hope it's the only time.

I suffer from chronic pain. Every day is a battle. I get that and feel for you and your wife. I'm not advocating to use GMO or systematics but I am not going to fear what has been studied and gone through peer reviews process.

Yeah I am a tad paranoid. This I will not argue over lol. Many years eating strong acid tends to do that.
