Sure looks like lepidoptera eggs.... (moths/caterpillars).

Spinosad has a prolonged response verus BT's. Javelin is the BT that seems to work for a couple of days. Spinosad even works on the caterpillar/moth eggs. Entrust is an organic source, there are a couple of them out there.

I think the hay smell is due to nutrition, or lack there of. Let's hear what did you did during the grow out and to get to this point in time. In Maine, there is a lot of rain. Those are washed out soils. Biggest element missing there will be Ca. With no Ca, you will have weak cell...

Some outdoor OGK .... poor plant suffered weeks of no sun, clouds, misty nights, here she is about 3+ weeks into flower.. Looks like some baby frost coming on...

Can you measure the conductivity and the pH of the runoff? The only way to balance out PK and most likely high Mg is Ca. Are you in a soil, medium, coco? Hybrid?

Buds, What is your take on those weeping older leaves? You think he needs more water?

look up spectrumanalytic on the net. Ask for the K-2 process, it is quite complete.

I would try an experiment on that bag. Why don't you send in a soil sample to a good lab? The cost is $40 or so and you will learn oodles about where you are...

I would bet on it. If one goes to heavy on Mg (which is a real common problem), soils close up. Then the water sits as do nutrients, often causing burns when they shouldn't. Realize that calcium uptake happens only at the tip of the root, in exchange for aminoacids and such, when there is...

All the bottom leaves hanging to me, with stems up, means over watering at the bottom of the medium. Most folk don't know how to water and tend to over water greatly.

Danyal, Take a soil analysis real quick and learn. Aminoacids at this point would help. They don't react like N. A burn early on knocks back Ca uptake early on.

If you got burn, you went to high with nutrients. The only way to get rid of those nutrients is a lot of water (it already looks like you are overwatering) and or some gypsum. The gypsum which is calcium sulfate will push out some of those nutrients and get your calcium level back up. Real...

I was just repeating what I read on other forums about the product Terpinator. Then I started reading about folks experience using ethrel and or florel, sure seemed to be reading very similar descriptions. Anyone have a refractometer and a EC meter, could someone run some numbers on this...

Have been investigating terpinator a bit and reading comments about how it stops growth and should only be applied right prior to harvest, 10 to 12 days ahead of harvest. Anyone concur with this? From my limited knowledge as a farmer and agronomist, there is only one thing that will do this...

Losing leaves at this stage is normal. It means you don't have too much N. Likewise, the droopy older leaves are telling you that there is too much water down deep. Apply less water. Keep the top humid but don't soak them so much.
