Bud worms are out too.
I had bud worms hit my autos weeks ago. I used to think they were a late season phenomenon, but I was reading up on it and apparently they lay eggs from mid-summer on, so somehow the eggs know when the buds are full enough that its the right time to hatch, so as soon as my autos were ripe enough they started eating their big fat selves out.Bud worms are out too.
That fucking sucks...And i got robbed. They ripped 2 right out of the ground. I'll be sitting out side with my gun tonight waiting for them to come back for the other two.
Who runs down the street with a 5x5 bush of un finished Bud? Lol fuck
Those cabbage white butterflies start laying eggs on my kale in May.I had bud worms hit my autos weeks ago.

Kinda early for bud worms isn't it?
More color today and you can see trichomes developing

I saw those eggs on some leaves last year and had no idea what they were from... learn something new every day.
I hear you, someone cut 3 branches off my GG4 the night of Oct. 15th last yearWell learn from my mistakes and don't forget about security. I had mine in a fenced backyard but they did get so big that they were visible from street.
Dog woke up in the middle of the night but I didn't think anything of it.
Only thing worse than bugs and mold is thieves.
There's more than one species of moths which will lay eggs on pot plants, if you look closely you'll notice there are two distinctly different kinds of eggs in that pic.https://www.rollitup.org/t/budworms-everything-you-need-to-know.246099/
@sirnapsalot the pic of insect eggs you have are not bud worm moth eggs...I don't know what kind of eggs those are...
Just an FYI
Cheers
Just an update, harvested autoflower Med GOM and ak47.Last year was first grow. From the four Mastodon plants harvested about 6 1/2 pounds, which is about 60 years worth of smoking at my level of consumption. The strain was supposed to be Indica dominant and ready by the end of September but by then still needed a few more weeks to finish. The rains cut it short and I had to harvest before fully ripe. The product is strong smokes nice but a bit speedy. No couch-lock or anxiety issues, just not the Indica stone that I like. Still it's a very nice day time buzz.
So, I don't need much. An ounce will last me a year. I don't want to invest in green house or hoop house to make extending the harvest possible.
Figuring I have plenty of daytime weed, I figured I'd try something different and ordered a high cbd autoflower to enable early harvest. My order was Med GOM 1.0 ($40/4 seeds including shipping) from Southern Oregon Seeds. They threw in five auto AK47 freebies. all fem
Looking at flowers with 15x loupe, some hairs are turning amber. Trichs mostly clear to cloudy, no amber trichs. The AK47 has a musky scent and the MED GOM 1.0 have a wonderful piney spice scent.
So far, pretty happy with everything. Seeds were started May 15. Using seed company's numbers, the AK should finish first, then the MED. This would be towards the middle to end of August. No sign of pests. I haven't sprayed anything. I have gone out at night to check a few times. No sign of pests then either. Just crossing my fingers. No PM. I did have PM on zucchini that was nearby my cannabis and ended them immediately. But that's mostly been it. Other than cabbage worms that I trap out on a stand of chard, no pests anywhere.
I didn't have pest problems with my grow last year either. Other than bud rot that got started after rains at end of September 2016 and never fucking stopped for weeks on end. Which is why I had to harvest before fully mature flowers on my photo-dominant Mastodon. Never have had a problem with pests in my organic 20 year old no-till plot. So, keeping fingers crossed and depending on all those beneficial around me.
