The best defense for budworms is SPINOSAD...this stuff works. I swear by it. In order to get the best results from it, you'd have to spray your plants 2 -3 times per week during each week of flowering. Spinosad is most effective at killing larvae and the small hatchlings that emerge from eggs...

Whats up RIU...140+ views and no comments....where's the love? Is it beneficial to flush with carbs or just using the clearing agent by itself?

I'm using the heavy 16 line of grow nutes and will start flushing in a few days. I'm growing firehouse og. My question is can I combine my carbs (prime and humbolt honey) with my clearing solution? Or should I flush till runoff is clear and then give a final dose of carbs?

Walmart? Maybe. Try your local nurseries, they'll have catepillar killer for sure. Use some tweeters, toothpick it even a screwdriver to bend the buds back to check those crevices. I was hesitant before but don't worry. Just bend them back enough to see if u can see them or if there's any...

Ifs not too hot for your plants, budworms won't die....meaning it'll never get hot enough for them to die unless you burn your plant down. You should try spinosad or bt like the other peoe in this thread and continue to pick them off everyday. Look in all crevices of your flowers. They are...

Just so u know NPK is not a type of fertilizer. It refers to the concentration of Nitrogen ( N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). Compost teas use beneficial bacteria to break down nutrients faster so more is available for the plant to use.

Yes adjust ph. A lot of organic gardeners don't bother ph'ing but if your using inorganic fertizers like myself and using coco, it's best to ph everything. The most important thing is that your medium has the correct ph throughout the grow cycle

has anyone tried a home made cinnamon/clove tea for spider mites?? I really need something inexpensive because i'm just tapped out and need to rid one of my plants of spider mites. The recipe in the book "Marijuana Gardner Saver" calles for boiling a gallon of water and mixing in 1 oz of...

So I want to start using the BT again but I can't find the book that came with the container. Is anyone familiar with how many teaspoons or tablespoons to mix to 1 gallon of water? I can't remember if it's 2 to 4 teaspoons per gallon or 2 to 4 tablespoons per gallon.

1. have you grown that strain before? 2. have you considered a nut-lock out? try flushing 3. any interuption in light/darkness? i'm assuming you're running 12/12 i had a similiar experience but come to find out it was just a shity strain and a very low producer...the buds never got bigger than...

i would recommend zero tolerance or if you are still in veg or anywhere b/w week 1 & week 3 of flowering use a garden insectide with any active ingredient with "thrin" on the end. i use the kind that you connect to garden hoses. Drench the hell out of the plant...there's also a waxy/sticky type...

no injury to the limb...very stiff and very much attached to the main stem...i do have pets but they are small dogs and i don't suspect they were grabbing on it....the whoe length of the limb is limp...very wierd i guess if it doesn't recover, i'll amputate it :(

idk...this is quite wierd...i've never seen just one limb do this...couldn't be over/under watering...this plant gets feeding every other day...it consumes alot and is very light on every 2nd day. I watered it today and no improvement.
