I went out to do my morning look at the plants and was looking at the JS 1 in its 7th week of flower and I noticed a leaf in the bud with brown edges so I pulled it out and it had mold on the end. I spread the bud and saw whats in the pic I just posted. I spread a few of the buds but the others dont have it. The rest of the buds look ok inside. From the outside the only indication is a bud leaf edges were turning brown. The rest of the bud looks ok on the outside. I think a lawn sprinkler hits this plant and may be the culprit. I'll turn it off. Is there something I can do short of cutting it off?

Took FDD's advice and went out to the plants and did a cavity inspection of the JS buds. Look who I found . . . They made nice marks on the pavement dont you think? Tomorrow I will initiate the caterpillar war with a good spraying of Spinosad (Orgainc caterpillar killer)

I think the HJ was a decoy/birthing center and they really went after the JS 3 while I was paying attention to the HJ. They will get a weekly dose of Spinosad from now on.

Yea but you have to use it every 7-10 days when the moths are around which is always it seems, lol. Its nice in the veg mode because it kills thrips too which I have a lot of too.

Sprayed with Spinosad this AM and I will continue to do so weekly until the end to prevent those little bastards from coming back.

I found a lot of those dead bud leaves but when I dug into the stickyness there were no caterpillars. Those buds are sticky and dense.

 

[theloadeddragon]

that is very good to hear

I sprayed again this morning, thanks for the heads up!
