I dont use any kind of pesticides and im starting to get catipillers pretty bad should i chop a little earlier to save my yeild or go to the finish line iv been picking them off and the bad buds with it what do u all thaink
Are you opposed to natural methods or do you just not use anything? Some diamataceous earth on the fan leaves and as a top dress will give them a pretty bad day and should wash right off. I dont know if potassium silicate in a foliar spray would help though i imagine it would to a similar effect. Im working on a spray thats basically the old stage green cleaner using soy bean oil, olive oil, alcohol, castile soap, salt, epsom salt and citric acid. Just figuring out the dilution. Tested 2:1 water to liquid death and kills on contact. Test sprayed a male i flowered to sex, need to give it 24 hours to see. First batch was too potent and caused some damage/left oily residue. I think this too will be too potent but i want to see the progression. I want a kill on contact with no foliar damage. I also want to see how potent i can make it should a really bad problem ever arise.

Spinosad is an insecticide based on chemical compounds found in the bacterial species Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Spinosad has high efficacy, a broad insect pest spectrum, low mammalian toxicity, and a good environmental profile, a unique feature of the insecticide compared to others currently used for the protection of grain products.[5] It is regarded as natural product-based, and approved for use in organic agriculture by numerous national and international certifications.[8] Spinosad has been used around the world for the control of a variety of insect pests, including Lepidoptera, Diptera, Thysanoptera, Coleoptera, Orthoptera, and Hymenoptera, and many others.[8

BT (bacillus thurgeniesis) its not a pesticide. Its a bacteria completely harmless to humans. U spray it on plants, catapillar eats it and stops eating and dies. The plants actually like it. They pray after u spray it on em

I ran a pack of SunShine#4 and I got all Chem traits. Has anyone got a fruity pheno? My medium yielding pheno has some serious frost and OG funk but not sweet at all. Kind of the same deal with Black Raz, great yield but new shoe and OG smell. I have been thinking about a 2nd pack of each...

That's sounds a lot like a recipe I got from an old school dude. Using everclear, olive oil, and soap.
4 oz everclear
2 oz olive oil and soap
8 oz water and shake in a pint jar.
1 tablespoon per gallon and kills everything. Have to do some research on yours.

How warm?

I wouldnt go any lower than 60 imo. They wont eat much in lower temps and will die with a frost. Best bug for his caterpillar issue would really prob be a predatory wasp.... Say either of those names on there own and most folks stay clear, "wasp" "predatory", but they dont harm us in any way. They are great for allot of our bug issues. Not sure about indoors with these though. Cant see why not ??
