Ah, don't say that! My area actually has very little reported cases of Lyme disease in ticks, not to say that they don;t carry it here, I'm just saying.
You do have me wondering though. I'm going to do some research on the symptoms, because I have literally been bitten in the hundreds of times over the past decade, and a lot of them were attached to me longer than the 48 hour mark.

I left one of my male plants out in the woods in my yard and within a month it looked pretty ragged after being chewed up by bugs. Your leaves look intact.

Yeah man, I don;t freaking understand it! I put plants out in my damn yard, and the bugs eat the hell out of em, I put em out in the bush, and they mostly suffer minor damage until they finish.
I do get the occasional bug infestations, groundhogs, rabbits, deer, early on, but once the plants get a certain size, nothing touches them any more.
I'm going to start taking clones soon, all those are females.

Your yard has more pests than beneficials. In the bush these things tend to be in balance.

I'm debating switching to hydro from indoor soil. Once I got past a certain point I feel like it's just so much work getting the nutes ready, water the plant, and then repeat for the next one. I want to spend hours training my plants, not watering them!

You go to hydroponics and then its lines, pumps, reservoirs, meters, and you still end up mixing nutrients.You end up spending way more time messing with water and nutritional supplements. You could always mix a soil that didn't require feeding, Then all you have to do is water and find things to fill your time with.

I've unpacked the second half of my Tangwena cob today; a few days early by counting days but my gut said open it now, so I did, and I saw it wasn't really a tight package anymore, so either there was moisture turned into water vapor (little bit of water droplets in there), or one of the seals or the plastic itself leaked, or both. Either way, I'm looking at a roughly 14 g very dense nug that has hard to notice spots where there is a fungus or yeast or whatever leaving a very thin and almost invisible layer of white over it. I'll post pics in a bit. Smell is pretty much the same as last time, no foul smells or whatever, i'll be throwing it in the oven at 70°C to stop any life going on in there, and I'll post pics and a storyline after my final tasting of the last batch. Previous batch was basically exactly what Howes said it would be, it takes you back.
I will be planting some corn to have organic husks available, and I'll keep on making cobs from probably all my future batches so I have a nice palet to choose from. I'll also dry some the regular way though. For now, I can't make a definite choice on what is my favorite style, because both have exquisite characters that leave one feeling blessed with one's green thumb, but neither equates the big "selling points" of the other. It'd be interesting to see if this thing takes off around the world and find it's way into commercially available bud. It'd be cool for a dispo to start selling the Tangwena with a regular bud inside to judge differences. It'd be even cooler if every pot smoker in the world would grow n cob his or her own. I usually don't tend to go with Sativa strains, but this time around I specifically ushered in some Sativan seeds to see what the Tangwena cure can do for it, as that's what the master himself has developed it for.
Off to smoke some!

Yes. The way I would phrase it is, in the wild there are things that kill the pests, that are not prevalent in more controlled conditions.
When you grow indoors, eventually you get spider mites, which is a nasty infestation to deal with. When guerilla growing, I never noticed them.

@lizard now just think of that in a cannagar and in a humidor somewhere that changed my mind completely on smoking. I think it could really be a thing to enjoy with a group of people. Like a bottle of wine,or well champagne is more like it. Then I made my tips and was thinking gzz why not soak them in homemade cherry brandy or lightly char them and add them to a shine to age. Whoa the possibilities for taste pairing begin running rampant... I was going to try full rolled cannagars instead of flower to ferment and maybe a couple more things I don't want to share yet.... oh some shade stuff(keeping in flower-hopefully) and a cannagar(im still learning to make them look nice)... Cheers

Nice writeup Lizard! I'm gonna give mine some more time to cure. I took out the napkin I left in, since I saw some drops of liquid had been absorbed by it, it felt pretty humid when I took it out as well. I re-sealed it without another napkin and I'll probably be smoking it on the 15th of next month.

She is already starting to smell, but you gotta rub her first
