Mill's 2013

Well I managed to totally ignore my grow this past year. Had some great harvest of some great types but didn't have a lot of time to get pictures up and stuff like that. 2013 will probably be more of the same with a daughter due at the end of Feb but I will try and keep it updated.

Pics to close out '12 and ring in '13...

Sprouting some Reapers I won in a giveaway.

Planted about 10 days ago

Baby C. Lanceolatum(lets try this one more time...).

How tiny it actually is, 2oz solo cup, Reaper behind.

Those two are in a cabinet I built a few years back with 4-23watt cfls and reflective insulation lining the sides. It also houses an overwintering C. Rhomboideum which has seen better days.

Here are the lights.

That is one of two cabinets I have going, the other has in it a Wild Texas Tepin and one 65watt cfl in a reflector. This one is going to become a bonchi for my wife's desk at work.

Other than that its finally slowing down around here before classes start back up in early Jan so I have time to prep the rest of the overwinters.

Thanks Mike!

So this is what roots grow into when started in solo cups. This on grown in ground. Grew to over 4 feet tall and equally wide.

Congratulations Noah!!! You and little Mama did well!

 

[millworkman]

Thanks Dan. She is pretty awesome so far!

When grown in solo cups the roots don't have the space to spread out like they should... Crazy roots Noah....

 

[millworkman]

Absolutely portuge. You can see how the one spread out once it hit dirt and spread out in all directions.

Look how the bottom curled around the base of the cup.

I hate Aphids.....

Grow looks good buddy! You have an affection for those Rombos huh? Lol

Congrats on your baby girl! Talk about sprouting seeds..

Good luck in 13'

 

[ThePepperManiac]

any updates been about a month since the last one hahah congrats on the baby also.

 

[Dshlogg]

Sweet Rhomboids! I love the look of those things. Pretty cool roots from the solo cups too. That would make a great bonchi. Hope you are getting some sleep with the new baby. I only got a few good nights sleep my son's first 2 years. He sleeps great now though at 2 and a half. Good luck man and Congrats!

I am here, things are going really slow around these parts. Been quite busy and the cold in the garage made for some very unhappy plants. Things are moving along now with warmer weather but the aphids have infiltrated the grow room and all the little ones are in trouble. Keep on keeping on though.

 

[KiNGDeNNiZ]

Feel ya man. For me it was when I brought manzanos to clone. That's when the inside grow got hit. Sending you warmer weather. Can't wait for them chocolate bhuts.

 

[RocketMan]

That's the best sprout there is right there. So cool, congrats to y'all!

 

[3/5King]

Mill, I'm right there with you man; you're not alone! lol

I had to resort to chem. treatment. Seems to have worked pretty good. Ortho Flower, Vegetable and fruit spray. I hated doing it but I tried a lot of other methods.

We will see if this fixes the problem or if it's just another band aid.

Good luck buddy!

Everyone having to keep their plants inside so long has been a boon to the aphids. I ran out of my sulfur/pyrethrin spray and wasn't having much luck with coffee (1/2 or full strength). I'm trying some hot pepper/garlic/mustard seed stuff I brewed up last year and while it's too early to tell if it will get rid of them, it definitely got a reaction out of them. It looked like they were trying to tiptoe away from it.

 

[Portuge]

Same here, tried Neem oil but that only controls em for lil while then their right back on there... Went with Sevin and it seems to be working for the mean while.. Looking forward to seeing some nice Rhombs flowers and pods from ya

 

[millworkman]

Im just waiting to put them out. Once outside the natural preds get them all.

Couple highlights, been working out back getting some new beds set up.
