My Growitup Greenhouse Grow 2010

BTW Cruzer, that green bug looks like a locust

eww nasty, fucking bugs!

Dude, Cruzer, did you use the dry ice method yet??

What? I got some kind of insect zoo going on now?
I cut off the top of the bud. Look here.

I went in and looked for more, I didnt see any on the buds but there was 8 or 10 dead small ones on the ground around the blueberry. I guess the fogger got them.

Here is what others are using to kill them. Bacillus thuringiensis BT LINK

IDK, the rest have mites sure but no cats dropped from them.
Maybe just pull her and treat for mites again up top.​

I still say seal that greenhouse up and dry ice cloud the insides to suffocate those nasty pests...

CO2 would work as well, i think. not sure if you have a CO2 tank/regulator or not.

Also you need to rake thru the top 2 inches of your soil to see if there are any in there, that the fogger didn't get

that fuckin sucks balls. there is an insecticide for catapilars and its called catapilar killer ive seen it at my hydro shop. i dont know if its too late to use it but worth a look. worst case scenario is an early harvest.

I dont know about using dry ice, dont you think it would also add humidity?

The hydro shop has canisters for rent, I have a regulator for co2. Just no ppm guage.
How much and how often to kill bugs with that? Couple hours?

ive heard people sayin use co2 to kill insects but never heard of anyone doing it or it working. i think that the ppm level you would have to reach and sustain to do that would be toxic to the plant. not trying to discourage you in your search of a solution as i know you ae very resourceful and should have an answer soon. good luck

i bet that bug is high as fuck haha
best of luck against the bug war

Thanks for all the input people, it really helps.
Yea snowman, he was movin mighty slow before I chopped his head off.

OK so like I decided to nuke them again. I got the prythrum not the synthetic so its somewhat organic I feel safe using that. So I sealed it up again and got a tripod to set the fogger on. I grabbed the left over can of acttin to toss it and realised it was still half full! They didnt get a full dose. I shook it up and set it off again, This time at about 4 feet up and it will hit the canopy. Tomorrow morning I will set off the other one, I got a good look up there. They may have won a battle but the war is not over.

Shiiit man. Fingers crossed for ye.

Oh nobody can stray into the back yard. Its through a gate or over the fence. I dont have a gun cabinet. Mine are stored under my bed, most of the ammo is locked up though. Except for the Glock, its loaded and little closer. I live in a pretty good neighborhood I hope it's just paranoia setting it. Every morning when I see them there I sigh with relief.

Didn't the gas guy walk right into your backyard? Should lock the gate. I do it just to make sure no one lets my dogs out.

Oh, and I saw the pictures of the caterpillars you got... fuckin wild man! Could you see if they were munching on the fan leaves or anything?

Yea, maybe I should, we just use the gate a lot. Max doesn't bolt and comes when I call him but you never know.
No man thats whats trippy about it. Maybe cause the canopy is so dense but I didn't see any chomping on the leaves at all just the top was brown, Shit I thought it was mold.

I deceided not to wait till morning, I just set off the next nuke so we will see by noon tomorrow.

i think u need to invest in a shake weight while they r cheap

thats random lofl

those suckers will eat ur buds inside out cruz. pick them out! they dont munch fan leafs. who cares about fan leafs when ur buds are gone. i had forgotten ure indoor mostly and we dont deal with catipillars indoors like OD does. having a sealed GH is the best to keep moths/flyers out and stop them from laying eggs. the catipillars hatch during flower just in time to eat ur valued colas. looks like bud rot sumtimes too the bud will just crumble if they get too much. the big fat ones are easy to spot, sumtimes not always green either. depends on ur location.

best thing i can say is spend time in the GH everyday lookin for them til harvest.

How long do u have left in flower? u dont want to bomb too much and leave unwanted residue on the buds...
Pyrethum bombs are legit but leave heavy residue. the same brand makes a follow up bomb called "Attain TR" which in theory does the same job but leaves half the residue. Its been suggested for mite control during flower. itll take out all pests as well, thats just wat my research has led me to.

im gonna hit up my OD buddies and see if they got sum good shit for u to get and use.

in my growroom ive blasted 20,000ppm or so of toxic levels c02 and not sure it did anything to affects the issues i was having. outdoors ure gonna have a hard time sealin the GH that tight to get that much ppm in there. also i use propane generator which lasts 4times longer then a bottle does.
i dont think u should spend the money and time on this theory. it does work indoors in theory but im tellin ur mang, when i was doin OD, u gotta get moth yellow sticky pad traps to trap the adults flying around, and go thru hours of picking thru top cola buds before that bastard eats em up.

sorry to do multiple posts but when i swing by ur thread here on RIU it takes a while to catch up lol.
