anyone else get hit with these pesky little fuckers
i use half a dried chili pepper,four drops of dawn concentrate dish liquid and water in a spray bottle (windex) after every rain for all my pest problems. (it even worked on spider mites and melee bugs!)

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

It's happening to me this year, brandywines took forever to start to flower, and I hope I get a crop. One of my problems was the flowers they were producing weren't getting pollinated. The bees keep coming later and later every year up hear at my altitude. They should have been buzzing around since mid June. Problem for me right now is that my Squash and Pumpkins are too close to my Pole Beans and Tomatoes, and those bees just can't resist those giant orange blossoms on my Pumpkins and Squash. Pole Beans are still pretty popular with the bees though... I should take garden pictures today. Anyone want some males? I got some males that are nearly in full blossom right now. Phantom Cookies, Qush, Qrazy Train, and I think even a Jedi Kush, pretty sure both ended up being female though, I'll check.
Speaking of pollen, I'm getting some Tahoe OG pollen, I don't know if it's selfed or BX, but I'm so fucking excited to dust that on all my OG hybrids. Cheeseburger, Pakistani Punch, Pink Lemonade, and Girl Scout Cookie are all getting hit with it. Pakistani Punch is already flowered enough to hit with pollen, I fucking love this 6/7 week strain, massive yields of devastating old school kush.
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!
