Fellow Growers...
It has been months since I burned all my plants in the fireplace, fire being the best medicine for scale.
{Of course I sprayed 25% bleach to 75% water all over the place ten times.}
The bleach seems to have done its job well.
Now I am starting with Sour Bubble and a 'free' strain Sweet Cindy.
Plants are about 6" tall and coming along well.
The single sweet Cindy is almost knee high and destined to be a clone mother, cloned two weeks before I flip the Sour Bubble.
I may have only seven females rather than the usual nine, nine fit nicely under my 400 w hps.
But then I am getting the garden together again.
I have learned that the more strains I have, the more plants sitting around,
the more 'bait' is there for diseases and insects.
I'll stick with two strains and keep extra plant numbers low.
And if I never set them outside to 'sun' they may avoid insects like the dreaded scale.
I've grown plants or at least 'flowered' plants outside with no problems.
I've never heard of scale before! And I'll set plants out to flower at the autumnal equinox but never bring them inside again till after harvest!
I'll even break down the plants outside and keep the bathroom sprayed with bleach/water as they hang over the bath tub, so as to keep scale out.
I hope for the best for Sour Bubble as it is 95% indica and not as tall as OG and Satori.
With a clean environment and the new knowledge I have about avoiding scale,
I feel confident that I've learned something.
Wish me luck...
Thank you...
