Nice! That speeds packing on some resin.
Is that outdoor?
Is that outdoor?
O
OKD
Check for bugs on the back of the leaves....my first thought but idk!
Your plants are lookin' great!
My guess thrips or possibly spider mites, under leaf. Can you see the buggers?
Thanks guys! Yes its outdoors in a greenhouse, 50N. Got some early plants as well but no flowers yet, fully stretching now.
I'm pretty sure its no pest, I grow completely organic and the only insecticide i used is a fungi that attacks some plant pests. So there's a balanced insect life with lots of predators and spiders. And i see no bugs on the leafs, a lost lice here and there... I had to deal with snails and ants chemically though and there are still some ants that like to put lice on my pumpkin leafs.. It could be damage by flying bugs though.
Now i noticed some rusty speckles as well. Could this be a ph problem? Its the only thing i can think of, rainpit is empty and been feeding hard tap water for a week or 2. I feed bio canna, melasses, humics, seaweed so i dont think its a micro shortage, unless its getting locked out by too basic ph? Now i remember i even got 2 male flowers two weeks ago, thought it was excessive heat stress but might have been the combo with bad ph water!
After checking some charts mg or mn deficiency seems most likely, especially as my water is so hard from ca it can limit mg uptake seriously. Gave them some britta filtered feed with melasses, humics and seaweed i didnt feed them with the last 2 since the start of budding. I think one more good feed and then water, hairs are starting to turn already, they might finish faster than anticipated! Which would be nice as they're almost 3 months old now and i really need the space for my early plants

Sorry for the lack of updates, plants have been harvested and smoked already but i have some more pics somewhere which i'll upload later.
The speed ryders yielded 30 and 33 grams, the easy ryder 36 grams. They finished faster than expected and didnt get flushed as well as i like, but after a cure all plants tasted really good.
The speed ryders had more mold issues than the easy which had close to zero. Spraying compost tea on buds was probably not too bright of an idea, lol.
Highs were quite typical hybrid highs with enough up and length to them, repeated smoking would put me to sleep but after a hard day of working most weed does.
So not really different from good hybrids, no headache stuff either. This had kept me away from autos for a while but it turns out its pretty good, good breeding work to breed out bad ruderalis traits i guess, or i got lucky with the phenos. Resin and aroma cant be beaten by plants that finish later in this colder climate so i believe there is real potential with these rudi genes.
The idea for a stealthy small crop kind of got crushed by the intense smell these plants gave off though.
Hot summer, everyone is sitting outside bbqing, with this thick air of superstinky sweaty pot rolling out of the greenhouse, whoo-yeee! Shit was hitting my stealth nerve, and hard..
All in all really glad with how this turned out!

It's all in the learning curve, spraying, mold issues. Indeed, compost tea does it's BEST work watering, not spraying plant/leaves.
