  1. Hi oldmate, Good place to start is with dingos advice. Looking for bugs may help also. The stippling on the leaves and the state of the petiole on that main fan in your pic can indicate trouble with bugs. leaf hoppers, thrips, mites, etc etc. some bugs are super difficult to see with the naked eye. Be sure to check the leaf undersides. A loupe is a great piece of kit for this sort of stuff. Try holding the plant over a pice of plain white paper almost on the horizontal and flick the main stem. You may be surprised at what falls out. The dust/dirt like bits that land on the paper may move.
  2. 100 points of id required for social media accounts here in Aus. Good idea or rubbish? https://www.zerohedge.com/political/thats-not-orwellian-orwellian-aussies-mulling-id-access-facebook-twitter-tinder
  3. Well done. Looks good. id guess at another 4-6 weeks. They should fatten up a fair bit from here i would think. You have some sort of insect sucking on her. Should keep an eye on that. May come to nothing......maybe not. Anyways. Good luck with the rest of the season.
  4. Nothing wrong with a bit of bro science Better than none. A good cure time can make smoke smoother......at least with mine it seems.
  5. Nice plants Quokk@, No spots or blemishes. I wouldnt change too much to be honest. Id be more worried about some sort of blight from the tomatoes.......anyways. Good job.
  6. Has been a while Pedro. Welcome back. Im sure Merlin was just trying to shake you loose from your hiding spot. Seems to have worked. Good on ya Merlin. Clear your cache of TSE cookies. You may be able to sneak back in. Oh.....and Chill. You are probably missed is all. If that’s even possible. ....Hahahaha.
  7. I’ve only ever had the one vape ( arizer air 2 ) so I can’t really tell you how they compare to others........but to be honest I didn’t really rate it. Bowl is tiny. Not much vape smoke to be had and the Arizer itself lasted all of 3 weeks before it shat itself.......hurled into the garden in disgust. Maybe I just had a dud unit. Dunno. It was a year or two back, Would be interesting to hear other people’s experiences with them also. Maybe they are more reliable these days.
  8. Not convinced a light is the way forward. A better fence imo. Starpicket driver is a must. Get the pickets in deep Maybe these guys can help if you are having trouble . https://hireahubby.com.au/. Hahaha,
  9. Yeah.......nah. Bugs. These ones at a guess. https://www.business.qld.gov.au/industries/farms-fishing-forestry/agriculture/crop-growing/pests-field-crops/leafhoppers Can see them on your plants in your photos. “Hopper burn” is what you are seeing as a deficiency imo. Have a close look on and under leaves. You might find all sorts. .
  10. I’m with you S.E. re vaccination. On a side note, i doubt many of us will be able to get it ( in the short term ) even if we wanted it. The rollout will more than likely drag on.......meaning more time to observe any negative affects that these new vaccines may or may not have. News in Bangladesh. https://www.dhakatribune.com/health/coronavirus/2020/12/26/bangladeshi-researchers-find-ivermectin-effective-as-covid-19-preventive-drug Seems to be gaining momentum in ‘like” countries. I read somewhere it averages $2 a dose. . 3 x doses I think. So immune for $6. Surely not. .
  11. Hi lipari Looks like your container is a cereal bowl or similar. Is there drainage holes in the bottom?
  12. I’m sort of rambling to myself here. Going to have a go at trying to work out how much active ingredient (a.i.) of insecticide is left on my outdoor plants after I spray them. Then how much residual is on them after a month. Im not expecting anything exact. Just a ‘thereabouts” to give me an idea of what is going on. Same sort of plant structure and size. No run off. Everything stays on the plant would seem the best way to calculate this. Below link shows allowed pesticide levels in medicinal cannabis in one of the US states. https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/PreventionWellness/marijuana/Documents/oha-8964-technical-report-marijuana-contaminant-testing.pdf This one, while a little too sciencey for my head, with formulas I’ll never understand , does have a pretty comprehensive list of pesticides, fungicides etc and their associated half lives which seems easy enough to get the gist of. Screenshot of the aza half life bit added below link. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/es500434p Half-lives if anyone is unsure and interested. http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/half-life.html Here we go: Eco neem has 12grams of active ingredient (azadirachtin) per 1 ltr bottle 12 grams = 12000ppm. 1ltr = 1000ml 12000ppm / 1000ml = 12ppm a.i. per 1ml of concentrate. 2ml of concentrate mixed into 1ltr of tap water = 24ppm of a.i. let’s say I fill a 1 gallon pump sprayer with 4 ltrs of this ......should equate to 4 x 24ppm = 96ppm a.i in the sprayer. i spray half a litre on each plant. Total 8 plants. Sprayer should be empty. 96ppm / 8 plants = 12ppm per plant. The above pubs doc suggests an Aza half life of ( I’ll round it up ) 3 days. So 2 x half life’s per week as a foliar. After 1 month a total of 8 half lives apply. End of week 1 = 6ppm per plant End of week 2 = 1.5 ppm per End of week 3 = 0.38 ppm per End of week 4 = 0.1 ppm I hope this makes sense. I hope it’s correct. .
  13. Hahaha. Sure. Maybe I am a control freak. . You do make it sound a little complicated with the ppm thing. I’ll have a go at a simplified approach after this post. Made me giggle with the little 1 litre spray bottle thingy. Good on you. I did watch your video. It was good. As I have said earlier though......it’s not the insects that I have a problem with. Choice of cultivars is a good one. I’m getting a little bored of the salivas I grow though. Tonguing for a skunky type harvest, or a hybrid of sorts. I’m trying that this season. Not one full blown sativa in sight. I very might end up with nothing. Bangi haze form ace crossed with Skunk from 00. Bean plants usually let me know what’s about. Keeping the ants off my grow usually saves the dramas that honeydew brings. Finding other pollen chuckers in my area is problematic. I don’t know how tap into someone else’s breeding programme. Secrecy is safety for my family and I. Re the lifting of the eyes to see the bigger picture. That was the motivation to starting this thread. There are septorias , leaf spot diseases, moulds everywhere surrounding my canna patch. In my turf, the neighbours turf in their fruit trees, their weeds. There all sorts of shit everywhere. My garden.....everyone’s garden so it seems. My canna plants sit in the middle of all this shit. Im striving for plant health the best I can. Aiming to get them to the start of flower pest and pathogen free if I can. Once flower commences it’s sort of all over for any spraying programme......with the ‘cides’ at least.
  14. Hello Louise, I do remember the Monash Uni trials. These tests coincided with the lockdowns we experienced here in Australia as part of the “first wave” of the pandemic. The country was in a frightened state stockpiling toilet paper. . All joking aside it was extremely worrying back then. Anxiety levels going through the roof for many. The above video interestingly includes some stats of ivermectin and front line medical staff. The Monash interest spiked my interest........which led me to the following link......among others. The ‘Introduction” paragraph along with the “New Horizons paragraph” of the attached link I found eye opening. Considering it was being touted as a sheep drench by many news outlets at thE time. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3043740/ I wouldnt know the dosing rates of ivermectin. Where did you get the weekly dose requirements from and what are the nasty side affects? What makes me think big pharma is trying to bury it?......... The money. Im conspiratorial at the best of times. No hard evidence here. Ivermectin is available over the counter. At least here in Australia, I would guess many other countries around the world also. It’s super cheap, manufactured by many and can be administered by our local illiterate farmer. lol. Where’s the fun in that for Pfizer? John Hopkins dashboard link: click on the countries on tHe left to get individual country stats. https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 India’s population is 1.4billion. Check out there daily infections as of today. How is this possible? Open sewers, mass poverty, mega cites living on top of each otHer while the UK , US etc dailies soar? The graph on the bottom right of the screenshot coincides with the Monash trials. Or there abouts. Yes.....it’s a leap to get to my unfounded statement. To be taken with a grain of salt for sure. I should have phrased that a little differently I guess. It doesn’t add up that this particular thIrd world country is fairing better than many “first worlders”. Anyways. Good luck to them, however they are doing it.
  15. I hear ya Itchy, Im far from an expert on anything. ( apart from how to annoy the missus.) It seems in this day and age we can find all sorts on the internet that supports any views we may or may not have. I try to follow the advise from .gov and or .edu sites, while also trying to take on board the knowledge of people like yourself. An open mind and a willingness to listen and learn is where I try to keep my mindset. Triscombe? Do you mean trichome? Or are they the same? In a perfect world I would leave my plants alone to fend for themselves. El natural. No help at all from a numpty like me. Doesn’t work that well in my backyard. It seems they need some numpty help to get their best......often their best is completely average. Hahaha. Anyways. I’m grateful for your posts and knowledge. Cheers. I think we are all trying our best. Learning curves and all that. Trying to make the best of our situations. What I am trying to get my head around atm is the total active ingredient expressed as ppm in a foliar spray tank. eg. Eco neem has 12grams of aza per 1 litre of solution. If I use 2ml of that solution and mix it to one litre of water, then spray this equally across 6 plants. How many ppm does each plant receive? From the above calcs. I should be able to work out the residual ppm left on or in the plants after a couple of half life’s etc etc. Could possibly even work a backwards formula to see when the latest application can be made in order to obtain less than........let’s say .5-1ppm at harvest. Sounds good in my head. The only drama is I suck at math. Probably quite simple......sigh.
