    Oregon Elite Seeds -- My first time using them.

    Quick question, just to clarify you had to wait weeks to get the seeds? Thanks.

    Powder mildew on base of stem!

    I also got powdery mildew on a bed of flowers I grew, at the end of fall. I used the opportunity to test out a copper spray and a few other fungicides. I wanted to see what worked, what didn't for future use. I found the copper soap spray can really wash away, if you will, the mildew. You have...

    Powder mildew on base of stem!

    Powdery mildew can be tough. The spores are present. Isolate or destroy the plant. Don't work on it near the others. If it was on the leaves you could carefully remove them but it's not. Also, you need to take preventative measures on the rest of the crop. Simple water and hydrogen peroxide in...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    Box of latex gloves is must have. Along with my fiskers titanium spring loaded trimmers. Fucking things are made in China, good for like one season. You can't heat the blades with a lighter to clear resin and particulate or they go brittle and snap. I will try to find steel trimmers next...

Been smoking like a champ. I can't be the only one burning that fresh stuff off the rack and dam it is good.... Worms &...

    There is an old saying, if you see 1 there are 5 times that amount you can't see. Start soaking them in BY every three days

    I have a large out tent that has screen mesh zip up sides. I've personally watched several brown moth on different occasions lays clutches of eggs right onto the mesh of my tent, two years in a row. I had good results with preventative BT spraying this year, I think I finally got this thing...

    Just a heads up. I watched several brown moths lay a clutch of eggs on the fabric screen of my yard tent. You need BT.

    Trimming up some Bodhi bubba kush x snow lotus. Clean as fuck. 98% of my plants are worm free. I found two or three smaller lower branch buds they got into and browned out but contained. I'm soaked them in BT this year. They cant get a foot hold if that first bite if food is toxic.

    We continue to have an Indian summer here in the NE. Hit mid 80's yesterday. I've been trimming and washing bud daily since the 21st. The preventative BT spraying was 100% effective. I've only found two very small worms, both of which were black and near death. As I take the most mature branches...

    Great post, totally agree. First time in five years I had a bout of powdery mildew. My Bohdi strains seem to be immune but one of my grape pupils was not. Mother nature throws a lot at us.

    You would be able to visually see damage at this point. I have been spraying every two to three days. No way I'm giving up the goods now. Beautiful weather in NE continues, hit 90 today. Thank you weed God's. Harvest in it's 3rd day, carry on and thanks for the report man. The more...

    We have had the best 7 day weather wise in New England. Mid 80's all weekend, dry, not a cloud in the sky. Started harvesting the most mature grape first. How nice it was to wet trim and to see only one tiny dying worm ready to fall off. They turn dark brown once poisoned with BT. This grape...

    Yeah, part of the fun of outdoor is how much clean crop can you turn in? Nature is going to take a piece. The game is how much you can steal back from nature. It's a formidable opponent. Throws alot at us. Nothing can replace our sun. That dank sticky. I hear ya on the indoor. I just posted...

    Holy hell in a hand basket. Someone asked me the other day how outdoor growers deal with all this shit. It struck me cause I know the feeling.

    One of my plants this year was bag seed. My son had collected them. One turned lady and was a runt, foot tall into July. It's just hitting the stride now. I'm starting to cut the grape Saturday, not all of it is ready but these danker purple strains tend not to do as well in the colder weather...

    I respect your diligence but when you see worms, assume there are 5 times as many you can't see. You need BT. Next grow you'll pre-spray every three to five days. This way you won't be reacting to the problem but preventing it. Weather, bugs, we're all dealing with it. Welcome to the club.

    Holy sh*t. Us worm guys thought we had it bad. Is this similar to spider mites where you can see them and spray them off the plant? Are they attacking the leaf, stems? You have massive plants to deal with. It's funny and cruel how nature tries to take this from us. I'm in the NE. Buddy of mine...
