Try a h202 bath. That should destroy all bacteria and clean up your harvest. I noticed today some brown bud sites. I checked closer and I have signs of budworms too. Now Im going to spray BTk on it. Ive never had them outdoors last year so I never sprayed anything, just like last year, now Im going to spray them tomorrow with some BTk. Im about 3 or more weeks from harvest. Next summer im buliding an open style chicken type coop with window mesh and spraying preventatives every week. Well see how it goes.

I've done H202 baths in the past, this year we have more meds than we need so anything with poop on it gets composted, the clean stuff gets processed.

Harvesting some Auto Green Crack by Fastbuds. Smells like someone doused my bud with lime juice. Odor is sharp lemony. Smells fucking awesome.

I love the "flowering regardless of hours of light" trait the autoflower has!!

This is awesome. When i finished trimming my Ripley's OG they smelled exactly like Lemon Pine Sol or Pledge. It was so AMAZING to hold to my nose.

This is the thickest cola on the green crack...

I believe the reason I get big yeilds and dense colas is because I use coco. In their infancy I treat autos like a soil grow. Water one day let it dry out the next, water one day let it dry out for two days etc. At first I do this for the first two weeks. Once I see alot of roots coming out of my pots. Wait lets talk about the pots I use which are game changers. The pots I use are called "Radicle grow bags" they are sold at garden gear supply btw. Thes pots are WAY better than ordinary fabric pots. Radical bags arent even made of fabric more like some type of nylon (go to Garden Gear Supply for more info). Well these pots help IMMENSELY in letting you know when there is a good root system beg enough for... Multifeeding. This plant was watered around 6 times a day. You can only multifeed ONLY when the root system is big enough to handle it. I also used the 4 inch rockwool cube (ill post a pic of the root system and the pots I used tomorrow). What else I use recharge (microbe tea). Enzymes I use are SLF-100. Canna a+b. Pk 13/14 bloom booster. This gets costly so my next run im using Mega Crop (theyre an advertiser on here if youre interested. Dirt cheap ALL IN ONE nutrient. My mimosas in veg are LOVING it.). This outdoor auto grow taught me a few things. I need to keep my IPM in check. Next outdoor auto grow ill add BTk for the worms rotated with Purecrop1 (rotation causes insects to not get resistant to one pesticide or fungicide). Ill keep you guys up to date on my other outdoor autos. I got 4 scrogged outside and it looks like ill get a couple pounds of them.

My Blueberry is filling out nicely, and at 5'5" tall, she's a beast. It's an exercise in self control not to get too attached to it, I have no idea how much the worms will leave me. In the mean time, she's looking good and smelling amazing. I have a Sin Trabajo next to her, and they have very different smells, when a breeze mixes the two of them there is no doubt that there is cannabis growing in my yard.

The Blueberry is an auto! LOL, mostly, I guess. It was a freebie I got in a seed order from Southern Oregon Seeds, and was labelled as one of their own. It was topped once, and I've only trimmed the lower branches and leaves. It's grown in decent soil (FFOF and native with a few things added), with just time release nutes, nothing special. I'd say this time of year it gets about 6 hours of direct sunlight. (Edit: the other two seeds in the pack were grown last summer and were about 2.5' tall... this is the anomaly)

I've only got three autos still standing. They were all germinated 5/11, put outside 5/25, and most were subsequently stunted by 3 weeks of cold overcast weather. This one was obviously not affected by that. I thinking it has at least 3 weeks left on it, putting it at 15 weeks start to finish... or 105 days. I had a Berry Ryder go 120 days last summer. I've heard it can be the cool nights that slows them down outside and drags out the grow time. I'll just be glad if it's done before the rains come.

Yeah ive heard of them. I ordered a five pack of their bluberry auto and only 2 sprouted. I left a two star review on their website and they emailed me about it and I explained my situation (long story). To make a long story short it was not grower error on my part. I explained every step of the germination process and they never emailed me back and they also didnt post my review. Go figure, no company wants negative reviews even if they are true. Its a good plant the two that I did grow indoors smelled like berries.
Yeah below 65 degrees farenheit and growth starts to slow down. You must be somewher in north dakota or something?

It's just the luck of the draw, this location for some reason has a ton of moths/worms. Might have to do with farms in the area, or woods, or something... all I know is friends who grow a dozen miles south or west of me never see a worm. I have one last test going -- the spring was too wet to spray the autos before they flowered, but I have three solid applications of spray on the pair of photos I have going. It'll be interesting to see if that does anything, in the past it's been hard to tell, a late rain can wash off a lot of early applications.



I've never heard of a "freezer cure" before, how does that work? When you say "cure", do you mean like "dry and cure", or just a way of dealing with the mold?

Are you or a close neighbor growing petunias? They are absolute worm magnets.

How do you not get more sunlight than me? Youre closer to the equator.

:lol::lol:
I live in a neighborhood, and my house faces north, the garden is on the south side. I've got neighbors with *tall* trees on the east, west (where there is also a hill), and south of me, nothing I can do about those. We've taken down two trees in our yard on our SW corner, that gave us about another 90 minutes of direct light.

I've got a friend growing in the city where the lot sizes are even smaller, and he gets a couple of hours of dappled sunlight per day, and he manages to grow weed. His plants aren't as heavy as mine, but it smokes well.

Hey rob, I just finished listening to the most recent ep of the dude grows show and they recommend a biological pesticide for caterpillars called "Venerate (all organic)" it doesnt let those damn caterpillars get resistant to it too (unlike BTk). Its made by " Marrone Bio Innovations." I plan on using it on next years grow.

Looked it up. Looks cool!

If I used pesticides other than ladybugs and nemotodes, I would try it.
