GDB Does Cosmic Lights & Other Photos

[Grand Daddy Black]

Cosmic Lights looks terrific, and great structure! Keep any oil sprays off the pistils or it will turn them brown, and my feeling is it stunts bud development as well.

And I dare say that their pic of the pink buds was not without a bit of color correcting.

You mean they tricked me?

Let's just say I don't think theirs really looked like cotton candy.

I was thinking the same! Or that whatever purples did exist were enhanced by the glow of a blurple. If you do want to bring out colors in the plant, you can water with cooler temperature water, it shows more towards the end too. But I’d say those buds are looking perfect and frosty on their own to me!

Man I hope your cosmic lights doesn’t taste like neem. It’s never a good idea to spray oils on flowers

I’ve also read (I think from @Nunyabiz ) that residual neem oil can get you sick if you smoke it.

 

[ChefDGreen]

For flowering plants you should look into an insecticidal soap. I like Monterey’s insect spray(spinosad). It’s naturally derived and can be applied to plants up to 2 days before harvest because it has a very short half life. That way you can be certain after a couple extra days and a week or two of drying that there are no insecticidal compounds left on your produce.

I try not spray spinosad that close to harvest, but that's pretty much the only thing I will use on plants with pistils.

I tried not to Chef. It was a controlled spray from underneath and I hoped to get it only on the bottoms of the bottom-most fans.

What does neem taste like?

Okay, Chef. This plant has at least 40 days to go. We will see.

So I shouldn't use this Sierra Science mite control product I bought? It is an oil.

Not on the pistils if you ask me. Shriveled and brown it makes them, and I think that slowed bud growth when I did it.

And the spinosad can touch the pistils without adverse effect?

 

[InTheShed]

Yes, because it's water-based.

Yes, because it's water-based.

Great! Thanks, Shed. The kind @ChefDGreen recommended is in my cart and I'll pull the trigger.

I think SNS’s mite spray is oil derived but not oil itself. I used the Monterey on my it’s it Punch and my star pupil. Both turned out great. Wait actually I know SNS has a biological mite spray. Which one do you have ?

 

[ChefDGreen]

I’ll tell you that the spinosad spray works like a charm though

yep that’s an oil spray

Damn! The bottle says 2% Rosemary Oil and 97.3% water. How oily can it be?

Beautiful Cosmic Lights, GDB. Looking forward to the new babies, too!
