Oh man that's so much information, now I see why you guys keep notes, I'd never just remember all that. Thanks for all the information and the awesome pictures! Keep up the awesome grows!

Agent Pothead, Here is a picture of the Peyote Purple. It is a beautiful plant with great flavor and color.

AgentPothead · 08-23-2017, 08:20 PM

That is rad! The stems appear to be green still. I wonder if it would be possible to breed a strain that had purple stems and purple leaves?

There are some house plants with very colorful leave. If you notice they all have some green as this is the chlorophyll the plants need to make the sugars and other enzymes the plants need for healthy growth. Cannabis plants expend so much energy in flowering with rapid growth. Stretching, pistil formation and flower/bud formation. I don't believe it's possible to breed for just leaf color and still have any potency or productivity. But Dubi or DJ Short would be the ones to answer that question. From my experience color and quality don't go hand in hand.(without much work) Plant selection over many generations and a ton of HPLC testing is required. Many breeders stop short, get the colors give it a cool name and Wholla!. There is only a handful of plants that have the whole package. (Packistani Chitral Kush, Peyote Purple, Black Domina, NepJam x Kali China) to name a few. Truth is bag appeal only raises the price you pay for your medicine or smoke. It all looks the same when burning. Thanks again for stopping by my friend. Peace

Hello all, I have recently been having an issue with sand flies. The larvae suck juices from the leaf veins until their wings form. So I have 2,000 lady bugs on their way to clean the plants of eggs and larvae. The insect specialist didn't think it would be a full blown infestation. The sand flies aka (noseeum's) are a carnivorous insect and prefer flesh. I can attest to that. While taking note's I had the shit bitten out of me. Like horse flies but smaller. Well at least I was able to figure out the issue and work towards resolving it. Happy growing. Peace

Woah good luck! And we need a smiley with some bugspray.

farmerlion · 08-29-2017, 04:33 AM

AgentPothead, Thanks for the support brother.. Homer seems to be spraying plenty of bug killer. I'm going to set my computer in the greenhouse so he can get some on my plants. Peace

I will get around to a flowering update later today after I get some sleep. Many of the ladies are looking very good so far in early flowering. Peace

Bump, I will post a few pictures of the girls flowering after I get some chores done. Have a great day! Peace
