KC-45 Plant Manipulation Response Progress
Aloha Once again my friends
, I wanted to update on the progress of the tie downs, and also report that it appears to me that my KC-45s are starting to flower now, we are seeing advancement of pistil growths overnight 
, these plants are even completely perked up in cool/cloudy conditions, Sun should come out soon. Very hardy specimens that quite clearly love to be trellised , Something I want to note about the most symmetrical plant is that it is in a 3-4 gallon terracotta (if that), it's not a very big pot, and I made the mistake of putting the screen in before even getting a chance to transplant. Things cannot be un-trellised, so it's gonna be hit or miss, and it's looking more like a hit. I'm not worried because I grew a 6 ft monster last year in a pot that was a lot smaller than this (just goes to show that things can indeed settle down, and even a small root ball can produce big buds). Usually, what ends up happening for me and these smaller terracottas (2-4 gallon ones), is the plants form a very nice root ball that drinks its water very efficiently, this causes the plant to have more personality, she signals to you when she's really thirsty, as oppose to a plant in a 30 gal container would never really develop that kind of personality. When she drinks all her water on a set schedule, I really get to know her more. It will be interesting. Anyway, we have some of the new seedlings (bluberry and maui waui) One more Blueberry sprouted up, the picture looks like some kind of alligator 
Everyone have a Great Weekend

Hi Lester,
Hope you are having a great weekend! The weather is picture perfect here. Was very busy today, am an active member in the VFW Honor Guard, so there was a pretty big ceremony. I still love getting all spiffed up in my Dress Blues and honoring the less fortunate and their families who sacrificed all, so we as a whole can enjoy our freedoms.
Take care Buddy!

Hi underthesun, I, including many others, would love to see your outdoor grow. Let me first drop a few links that will help you, if you haven't found them already

The best, quickest piece of advice I could give you is that hard flower (buds getting dense) is the most vulnerable time for your flowers. If your worms are coming during veg, they should be eradicated, but not nearly as much of a problem as the hard flower stage. Manual inspections are the only, and ultimate way to do the most possible work in eradicating the problem. Preliminary precautions include putting out lady bugs and depending on dryness of environment (distance to ocean for us), we can spray with BT liquid or other commercial caterpillar killer (Capt. Jack, Spinosad,etc.) , if it's too near the ocean, we use the BT granular. The application is an art, and someone could write a book on the subject
But manual inspections of the buds the the ultimate way to control it, I use a mini ice pick to get into the nooks and crannies that the worms usually are hiding in, that way I don't destroy the entire bud trying to get them out. Also, depending on the species, the brutality can vary, some worms saliva actually induces mold, so when you get the green ones (usually loopers) that is much better than getting the nasty flesh colored ones. We just pray this never ever happens I'll be by your journal when I see it up in running!

Good Day All!
Good afternoon weed to yea Lester. Hope you a little cooler and we are a warmer today than it was suppose to be. Suns out and mother nature is sucking it up. Hope this Memorial Day is a restful one. Happy Munchday
Well hello sir, first I want to thank you for the nice words, there greatly appreciated. Looking gooooood stud. Good luck on your grow. You know I ordered some Reserve seeds from TSSC ( The Single Seed Center ) and they sent me free AK 49 Autos and I dont get it. Whats the point of growing a single bud, you cant clone um you cant top um and if they dont Veg right you dont get any weight at all, I dont like um. Heres a picture of mine.
Thanks again .TOAST

Drive by Les. Hey I had a brainstorm...................... Ouch but just a idea, you seem to have a secure location to work with. That 45 shot straight into the dirt and you'll see her ate her peak potential and size. I don't mean to say you aren't giving them enough leg room, that I can see, but from seed them taproots will go on forever. Who know maybe you can get a extra 4 or 5% jk. I have no idea but I know this, pot will grow to allotted space. Damn dude. I wish I had access to this seed stock when I was errrr 'working' back in Indiana. Pot grows so perfect with corn. I mean perfect. Same water same food. sad thing corn turns brown a month before pot is ready. I use to stick to the ditch banks where water kept things greener. But there it grew wild and people always hiked the ditch banks, and the cops use to watch the people walking the ditch banks. That was right across from a place I lived back in the late 70's. Man I never seen as HUGE PLANTS as seen there. You got to the plants that competed with the corn, wow. Little things are 12'. Of course it was nicknamed IDW. Indiana Ditch Weed. Thc levels or .01 or something. So I can see a use for what you have. A lot of plus's. I did see the guy that was wondering about the 'Bud on a Stick' type. I've grown afew variants of the auto flowers with not impressed records. A lot are a joke. less than a oz. Hell 1/2 of that on afew. It's so hit and miss to find a good auto strain. And I seen you had them in 5 gallon buckets so they were probably all they could be. I did have a auto called White Russian or White Siberian that yielded over 4 oz's in a timely manner. Abit longer than they claimed. But that is good. Just got to find the auto that veg's enough for your needs. That's the hard part. I've tried a strain that claims to rivial what Lester is getting off his. But she fell way short. Like under a OZ. Not what I was hoping for. So this here auto has peaked my interest more than once. And I love to see it grown out outdoors with plenty of space and care. It's alittle late for me here to give her a whorl. But I'm seriously thinking of trying her out next year. I'm going to watch and let you learn. Then I'll know when I need to plan a harvest date. JK not really and that's for sure. Keepem Green Lester.
