I found the people at Buglogical easy to work with as a shipper of predatory insects.....https://www.buglogical.com/spider-mi...-californicus/

The Californicus and Longipipes ended a spider mite invassions over the course of two runs with consistant application every couple weeks. In the end the shipper ended up double shipping to me and I released something in the range of 10, 000 of the 2 mites mentioned above into 3 , 4x4 tables.....thats the last time I saw a mite in my room....knocks on wood.

Thanks for the mite control advice. I should probably give the predator mites a shot.

Got three of the Choc Trip going now. All are looking good.


Two Mountain Temples going too.

That first Thai photo gives me hope I have one also and hope it is a male

Not much to report, 3 CT’s and 2 MT's in one gallon pots now. I'm going back to using ocean forest so when I repot they'll go into that.

CT 1




MT 1


Repotted this one into straight ocean forest.

i don't want to slow your progress , do you have more seeds ? maybe repot the ones you have , and put some seeds into a good seed raising mix ? i think you,ll find , your going to be doing a lot better in nice soil regardless with current plants . the newly germed ones , if you were to do that ...... will more than likely overtake the current seedlings you have .

i just find when seedlings stall like these may have , that they,ll take a bit to get back on track

just a thought ,

Pretty sure you're right about the soil BB. I think my soil mixing experiments are done.

I also had the same problem recently. Planting a bit deeper seems to have solved the problem, but if you get the problem again just mist and put a dome over the seedling, then once the seed is freed, use small things to gradually raise the dome on one side, so the air gap gets bigger, and the seedling gets used to dry air.

Also, the CT likes weak nutes IME... at least it does better on weak nutes than most other strains I've grown.

Look forward to see how beanz and yourself get on with the CT.

About 95% sure on the sexes of the CT's now and it looks like I've 2 males and a female.

CT1


CT1 is about a week older than the other two plants and isn't showing sex so I'm assuming it is female. Is it fair to assume that the male plants show sex before females typically?

CT2


CT2 is the nicer looking to me out of the two males so I'm going to grab some pollen from it.

MT1


The Mountain Temples are a little younger and aren't showing yet. MT1 went straight into Ocean Forest and is looking much better than MT2 that went into my abandoned soil mix first. Fatty leaves so far.

MT2


Thanks BB for getting me back into some decent soil. Seeing a big difference already.

thats good you upgraded the soil , fingers crossed they start taking off for you .

Took a shot of the CT male today, really like the structure of this one.



I'm not going to flower the female for a while and I don't like saving pollen. A Bubba Kush x Hash Plant from ACE is the only plant I have that'll be ready so I'll probably cross it with that.
