lol, me and tws were giving everyone the heads up last week. I already sprayed for them
hit them with spinosad or bt and the chewing should slow down by the next day, and depending on which one you used they should be dead pretty quick after that. it's important to reapply after it rains if you don't have a green house, it'll wash off. I like spinosad best because I don't have to cover up like I do with BT.oh and thanks for the rep!

Spinosad and BT are both bacteria and systemic ? But Spinosad kills bees if one cares ? I would alternate CP ( a cater pillar killer) and neem . Caterpillars you have to start early. I've seen them and more then usual cabbage moths most of the season, had some early damage.
As my second OD grow I find myself a lot bigger then what I would prefer . Some say not a bad thing but with height restrictions and security reasons (rough town) it makes for a lot of work . Now one always wants to get a good start because your anxious and some things can go wrong but I think I'm gonna wait a lot later next year. I really only have 4 or so plants of the manageable size I would like. The rest are going ape shit ( more Paranoia... lol ). If I would of not topped, lst , supper crop , tie over and just plain break branches/large tops off most of my grow would be really Fing huge. Boy how I wish I could just let em go.
As I venture into the organic side knowing very little ( there's a lot to understand ) from what I've read here and some great mentors . I'm not sure if cutting out my bucket bottoms was a good idea . Top dressing instead of mixing has been a joy . 
With that said, I very happy with the way things have been going and raised the greenhouse roof the best I could with out being a blow it .
The full moon has been great,,

Don't knock it 'til you try it. I've used all sorts of crazy concoctions like that, and they work pretty bad ass. All the bugs go flying off your plant at a million miles per hour once you hit them with something like that. I like Spinosad best still.

I don't know if either are systemic, but I did do a little research on the bee thing...

I guess it's bad news for bees in the first 3 hours, but poses very little risk after that if the sprays aren't heavy doses. I guess I'll alternate BT/Neem for a while because I want to encourage as much bees up here as possible! I need those bees to pollinate my veggies!
Your plants are amazing dude, but it would def be a better idea to start in late May next year. But post up pics of the new raised roof I wanna see that shit. What do you think of top dressing with this seabird guano as far as growth is concerned? I think this shit is fucking gross, I put some in a batch of tea and nearly puked when I got a full open-mouth inhale of the shit-cloud that blew into the air.As my second OD grow I find myself a lot bigger then what I would prefer .

whens the update??
You mean pop seeds in late May ? Cause I went outside in ground On Mothers day/mid may. It's kinda Risky but I was thinking , Pop seeds May first and go out June to mid June ? I'll show you the raised roof later. I used some small buckets and did like a tent effect. Stretched the shit out of my Ag plastic. I mighta gained 2 more feet in the center where I need it. After this Im SOL. I like the seabird quano even though it's pretty foul. ( lol. no pun ) It has both high N & P . I quit making teas when they stopped selling it for a while because of all the mammal deaths over in Piru. I use Mexican and seabird with alfalfa top dress for vegg with some molasses, floralucious plus and dry kelp waterings , calmag and micros as needed . For flower I use seabird and Jamaican with some Indonesian Thrown in there in late flower for a boost. I got a lot of catching up to read here on the thread. Your Patio is looking bomb, I will have to take a better look, and my pumpkins suck too. Get em as big as pot you have.
