You can mix neem oil with a tiny bit of liquid dish soap and water, then put it in a cheap pump sprayer and coat your plants a couple times as they grow through the veg phase. Many animals and bugs despise the taste and smell of neem. It's a big time tool to have in your arsenal. You can also put chicken wire around the base of each plant or even plant companion crops like marigolds or any other plant that rabbits hate.

TBH I thought about using neem oil but decided against it. I believe the Mormon crickets wouldn't care and it would push out these gigantic flies that hunt the crickets and grasshopper's. (Don't know for sure but wasn't a risk I was willing to take this year). I eliminated my early cutworm problem with Demetrius earth and caused a secondary water absorbing issue after the dm settled into the soil. TBH I got extremely lucky this year as I grew the plants under 24/7 light and did not know I had cutworms until they were put outside and the worms had darkness to lurk on my plants. If I had given the darkness before hand I would have lost them all.

So I may be going to war with the spiders in my garden. Went out to check if they needed water and a spider decided that a cc top was the place to make home. Now I don't have any problem with spiders taking over a few bottom shoots but a top.. HELL NO. For now I pushed him to the bottom of the plant and removed his little home. If he takes up shop somewhere inside or on a bottom shoot all is good, but if not hes gonna have to take a nap with the hoppers.

Shitty pic but the little dude is now sleeping with the hoppers. I went out to seen how the top was recovering and WTF he's back wrapping the top. Thank God he was so tiny as he went ape shit on a biting spree until I put him to sleep with the hoppers. Glad the scary big ones have ignored my tops. Watch now my finger will fall off. Lol
No sense in zooming, it doesn't get any better

A few crystal candy f1 fast ver starting to flower.
Everything else should start to flower in the next week or so. Everything should be done well before October but well see. Well everything except the white widow and blueberry. Hopefully the fast versions produce decent. I definitely have to say that if crystal Candy fast smokes and produces good I'll def add it to my perm collection. Flowers just under 15hrs light. Actually like 14hr 45min I was beginning to show begining of clumping
