awesome to hear, so far no bud rot on my end, and we only had to pull the some autos early due to worms (and my shitty IPM... I'm getting better!)
2 - 3 years according to this source - https://cals.arizona.edu/yavapai/anr/hort/byg/archive/Bacillusthuringiensis2009.html
Awesome, thanks!
Just bought a quart of it to use "if" the worms invade, which I suspect they will. I have read opinions ranging from stopping its use two weeks before harvest, to using it right up to harvest. Some people rinse their crop in a hydrogen peroxide solution followed by a water dip to clean it, some don't. Right now, my issue is powdery mildew, not so much worms. Good luck!
There is everything in the store, amazon, etc.
Your assessment of the fall worm season is spot on. They love that stinky flower. Just got in from a night time BT sweep. You really can't let up. It's like a running gun battle. They attack the tops too. Be one thing if they hit a bottom piece. Was out there with an LED flashlight. Love that night time check, they glow pink. I'm seeing nice healthy tops. Perfect white hairs. I'm increasing my spraying in fall to every 3 days.
Looking purdy...
Thank you sir. Love this time of the year. Although I miss summer....getting dank in the backyard though.....
Some of mine are sweet, some smell like straight up lemon scented household cleaners. I miss winter man, sleep and eat, repeat. I've been a landscaper for 23 years so winter is my vacation and or sleep and eat and binge watch TV.
Yup, those are the start to those little bastards!!
Ya that’s one good thing living in SoCal is that I don’t really have to worry about P.M. Neem oil works good for P.M. as long as they aren’t flowering. I’ve heard of people using hydrogen peroxide but I’m to scared to do that so close to the end. I’ve also heard the same thing about spinosad that you can use it up to 2 weeks and up to day of harvest just not sure which one is true. Anyways good luck bud on your grow!
I sprayed captn jacks spinosad tonight. Ive been doing BT ~every 7 days. I do a rotation BT twice then spinosad It seems to work well for me. I will continue for about another 2 weeks then stop. You will be risking bud rot once the flowers get thick. Then all the worm prevention will have been for nothing...
The idea is to wash the bud with a peroxide solution and then in a bucket of clean water as you harvest. Outdoor bud picks up dust and all sorts of stuff. Not spraying it on live plants.
