    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    Can you expand on that? Milkweed? All I know is cabbage worms born of the brown moth love to eat my plants. I've witnessed BT stop infestations so I'm going to keep spraying cause the alternative is to lose all my plants to these nasty suckers.

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    Any articles on crops and worms are a great resource. In regards to your plants. Hose them down with BT. Every two days if the worms are visible. If you nip it it the bud now you'll be able to salvage some flower. Be prepared at harvest to thoroughly inspect all the flower as you do the first...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    You don't need to move your plants around. You need a bottle of Monterey BT concentrate and you need to spray your whole garden with it. Next year you'll be ready. My whole veg to flower pre spray was born out of your very problem. Lost my two biggest plants last year. You have to assume they...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    I just got in from spraying. Had an hour long sunshower. Heat wave for the next two days in the NE. Was 90 today, pool all day for me gardening. Still seeing brown and white moths, still spraying.....

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    Stay on top of it and don't get discouraged. If your seeing them, if they've establish a visual presence, you need to spray every two to three days. I'm on a 4 to 7 day schedule and always after rain. (Have a large yard tent to sheild when needed). I'm assuming they are present and I can't see...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    Funny you should say that. Everytime I go out to spray I'm covered in the shit. Just did a full misting. Had an hour of rain yesterday. I'm trying to get in close to the stem with it. Pretty soon the growth of the flower will lock me out of those nooks and crannies. Haven't seen a worm at all...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    Outdoor it's not a question of If but when. Once they blast into flower worms love bud. But good for you if you don't get them.

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    I've been treating every three to five days, late at night. For my part of the country, northeast, now is a critical time. Flower tops are forming. Stretching, packing on sugar leaf. Final leg of the race. What makes bud worm so deadly, you don't need an infestation. You won't always see them...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    Just got it from my gentle BT spraying. Love being out there in the dark, hearing the summer bugs, as I spray my properly diluted BT. Soaked them ladies down. Flower tops are just starting to form on my feminized. Be a little longer on the reg Bodhi. It's been four or five days since the last...

    Northern Lights auto stopped budding

    Listen, I'm a simple guy. The most I give my flower plants is properly diluted Cal Mag. I respect the guys who PH the water, go heavy on the nutrients but I really do none of that. I'm a less is more guy when it comes to growing. Sometimes the less you do the better it turns out. Keep on...

    Desperate for more veg time

    I usually harvest reg plants between Oct 1st to the 30th. Last year cut the last down first week of November.

    Northern Lights auto stopped budding

    Where did all the fan leaves go? I wouldn't worry about it. Outdoor can take some time. It does look like you defoliated that plant to the max though.

    What to do when it rains?

    I only worry about rain when they are fully flowered. I don't PH water for my outdoor grow. Never needed to.. I have a massive outdoor screen tent. When they are heavy in flower and it's going rain they go in the tent. You can buy those screen tents at Walmart for 200-300 in season. In the...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    I'm a big fan of spraying BT at night. I soak em down real good. I've observed bud worms and they will generally come out at dawn to feed. They can't take direct, hot sun for very long. Once they have breakfast they tend to retreat towards the stems, or back into your flowers. Late at night or...

    Yeah! It's Bud Worm Season. Pics

    I'm growing three different strains outdoors. One of my strains caught a little case of powdery mildew in June, early in veg. Impacted only the lower leaves but started moving up the plant. I caught it early and used a common fungicide from Home Depot. I diluted it a little bit and sprayed all...

    bodhi seeds

    I know this is an old thread. Was looking for info Bodhi's hells angel. Second year running them and they are massive plants. Saw these pics. Little too much water too early. Not life threatening. Sure they turned out fine.

    Vert(600+400) 5 plant, from Ukraine with love

    I like you man. Your a wild guy. Your doing all sorts of stuff and growing bud vertically. If your Russian or Ukrainian, wanted to let you know, don't listen to the news. Americans respect the Baltic. We should be friends with the Russians not enemies. Keep doing your thing and telling your...
