only have about 10 or so days till chop, about to leave them in the dark in a week, I Will re-apply right before all dark the last few days. Then hope anything crusted on will brush off easy in water, I just hope I did not put too much alcohol it it, don't want to be dissolving all my trycombs. lol Not trying to make io hash while its on the damn plant... lolgood luck. you may need to re-apply to get any eggs that hatch later.
