Undecided About Microscopic Bugs

[Franklin]

Hahaha Borg poop! Well if you're not busy killing then at least you're busy providing us with entertainment. Thank you for your service.

So, end game...are you actually gonna smoke this weed? Or just torch everything when your done?

[coldjack]

I already have enough weed and hash to last comfortably until the end of this season. No worries.

Generally, I torch as I go! LOL

Seeded female plants produce a potent hash resin if dry sifting. So, of course, I'll smoke it.

I'll have four or five confirmed female plants to re-veg and grow on for next year's smokeable bud.

This year's grow plan is flexible. I'm confident I'll end up with enough product to last me until the end of next year's growing season.

Happy days.

Try the ISO. it works, but must be sprayed every 3 days for at least 3 treatments, under, over, around, above, near by, everydamnthing.

ISO evaporates 100% nothing left behind.

Hello Rwise,

You previously posted this message.

"I use ISO mixed with water, recommended is 1 part ISO to 8 parts water (I have went 50/50 with no issue)."

Using due diligence, I checked your name link and a random selection of posts. I immediately recognised a grower that has exceptional all-round knowledge and experience in Cannabis, which has been gained over many years.

I did take your advice but the parcel is delayed because of strike action in the UK and by the Brexit Protocol sea border checks. That is why I started with Bug Clear Ultra.

I will use ISO if things don't work out with Bug Clear.

Over the years you must have helped many thousands of grows and I am but the latest.

Thank you.

Very best regards

Jack

Hello their,

The second spraying of Bug Clear about a week ago seems to have stopped the devastating leaf loss.

The label instructions say to respray in 3 month's time. The seed grow will be finished long before then, so all is good!

I have ISO and 50/50 mix as per Rwise advice and will use ISO for emergency treatments.

Here is a picture of 3 males and 1 female in my 'pollination' tent and they are doing remarkably well, considering the beating they took from the Borg!

Selecting which female to put to seed turned out to be easy as only one female shrugged off the Borg Bug attack. The other females really took a beating and I have them in another tent under 18-6 lights to re-veg.

I choose 3 male plants as pollen providers based on the vigour of growth and to provide some genetic diversity. My best guess is the pollen drop will be around the 17th of March which is the first day of spring and also St. Patrick's day.

Happy Day in Ireland!

Updates on the seed project will be posted on my other thread at Why Didn't Mendel Use Cannabis?

Thanks for your help and good humour.

A single treatment lasts for up to 3 weeks. BugClear Ultra 2 is for home use, it works to kill on contact, the plant will absorb it and kills difficult to locate and hidden bugs systemically as they feed on the plant. For instance, it kills scale bugs as they feed on ornamental plants.

BugClear Ultra 2 contains rape seed oil, extracted from oil seed rape, and pyrethrum, a chrysanthemum extract.

My myself and I think some research is needed on the product used . It scares the hell outa me that it is absorbed into the plant and can last a long time in the plant.
Be safe my friend.

I also would be really cautious with it being absorbed into the plants. Doesnt sound like a treatment for plants that are to be consumed in any way. Caution seems warranted. Be well.

[coldjack]

No argument here.

I did read the label before spraying and understood that consuming or smoking a small amount of the dry-sieved hash gained from a one-seeded plant treated with Bug Clear would be a bad idea.

I only smoke my own stuff and have been growing Cannabis for quite a while and much prefer clean edibles, smokes and dry vapes.

I don't buy street Cannabis because there is no way of knowing how it is grown or what other synthetic drugs might have been combined.
