They are behind but i have no doubt they will be fine by budding time.

 

[WeedHopper]

So do you have a lot of problems with bugs?

 

[longtimegrower]

I got an inch of rain yesterday and we have a big rain about start.

 

[longtimegrower]

So do you have a lot of problems with bugs?

More now that it's wetter. But even when there kinda bad they are bug resistant. They keep growing fine. It's never aphids mites or white flies that take over. It's just leaf hoppers mostly. As soon as the plants toughen up the bugs leave them alone. I bet I haven't seen two caterpillar in four years. Bugs were much worse a couple years ago. Soon as they bud the bugs are gone. No I never spray. I trust the plants. I grew a couple bag seeds plants beside the Mandala. The bag seeds plants were ruined by mites. The rest were untouched

Good morning all. I'm headed to feed. I'll get some pictures. Stretch is close I'd guess. W had a rain. .7 enough to keep the girls happy for a few days. I'll message you later

 

[longtimegrower]

Ok guys I didn't go yesterday but im on the way today. Its been two weeks so lets see how they look with a rain and the last feeding. By last years pictures 5 weeks from now they should grow a lot. We are finally getting the rain. The hot weather is on the way so im trying to get finished before it gets real hot. Ill update you later.

 

[longtimegrower]

Hey friends. I only checked one spot. It was hot but i can deal with heat the skeeters were as bad as IV e ever seen them here. They have always been a few. Nothing to me because I grew up in Mississippi rice fields so IV e seen bad mosquitoes. Here's a video and it doesn't really show them well . if you stopped ten seconds you were covered in bites. Third. picture is some late plants I put out two weeks ago. There late but are growing fast. They grew a lot. We have about three weeks or so of bushing out. They will be pretty by then. Ill go back in a week after it cools down.

 

[WeedHopper]

I predict there will be one beautiful cola filled gorilla garden , this Fall

Hey guys. This is why I bailed after just 20 minutes yesterday. I didn't take skeeter spray. In 4 years I haven t ever seen it Like it was . I think in spring the water is to cool for t

hem to breed and in summer the water dries up. Yesterday was the perfect storm. The pic is only a few still showing up. Also. I eat garlic every day im not sure what helps. Mosquito never bother me but will be all over my friends. So if they were this bad they were bad. Even stopping to pee meant you were eaten alive. I d ont know how deer stay out there. At night they try to find an open ar

ea in the wind but they have to eat so im sure its bad for them. Ill head back soon but ill take off this time.

I had just cut my hair so my neck and the hole on the back of a cap is a pin cushion.

I have to pack everything in in a backpack. Here's my tool kit. I may could find a ride at least to hall it home but I don't trust anyone enough to give up my location. Am I the only member still gorilla growing?

Am I the only member still gorilla growing?

I did a gorilla grow last year but between bugs(for both me and the plants), weather(rainy, crappy fall), and laziness, this year I just have 3 plants in my backyard. I don’t miss hiking to my grow spot with water and nutes for sure. I am fortunate that I live in a state that cannabis is relatively legal though I am technically violating the rules. I am supposed to have everything under lock and key.

Ordered it from wish. It's solid and works great. May be the last one I need.

 

[longtimegrower]

I'm headed to the woods to feed the girls. Make sure of Zero males. We're expecting two days of storms and rain. The air is like soup. Sweaty. I'll get some new picks. I'll holler back in a few hours. I'll guess two weeks of stretch ahead before the fun time starts. Ttul.

I wish I could grow at home. My state is legal but only to buy it. Last time I bought some it was 76$ for 3.5 grams that ended up being only 2.6 grams. Shorted me a third almost. I guess the employees are taking a little out. I haven't been back. If you have a medical card you can grow 5 plants but they have to be locked up. Like they
frown on outdoor grows. legal is nothing but another tax. They passed it just for the tax and said we can revise the other laws later which will never come. I had stopped growing but big brother made me start again. Ttul friends.
