I've started noticing more of those tiny grasshoppers around... So keep an eye out over the next two weeks+...

Otherwise only problems I've had with pests is the tiny caterpillars that kill buds... Just need to keep an eye out for those suckers

Aloha,

Has anyone have problems with an insect boring holes into the stem and killing that branch? I want to know what I can use to kill the bug and stop having holes in my stem.

In most cases it is the larvae of certain types of Beetles... Last year I had issues with Japanese Boring Beetle Larvae... Haven't seen it this year...
They would bore a hole in a branch right where it connected to the main stem and that branch would eventually die off.. Couple times they bored right into the main stem...

So many obstacles!!

What did you use to kill the larvae? Is it ok to shoot insecticide into the hole to kill the larvae?

Aloha and Mahalo

I was never able to salvage any parts of the plants that had this issue... I would basically lose a whole branch etc...
In the case of the main stem, I finally came up with using superglue to seal the hole shut... It was able to save the plant for a couple weeks until I was able to harvest...

I am just sharing what I did... I do not have a solution for this problem..
The superglue idea came to me because I read somewhere that the larvae still need air.. so I figured to block the hole..
I used superglue because I know it is neutral on our own skin and wounds.... I don't know if it will adversely affect plant tissue..

I would not inject insecticide into the plant...
Also The superglue is an option and it seemed to work for me.... so please consider your other options... You could theoretically just use a piece of chewing gum to seal the hole...

I just don't want you killing your plant with superglue because I suggested it... I would love to test my theory on my own plants before I suggest it to you...

There are a few of us trying to restart the Americans for Safe Access Group in Oahu. We are having a meeting on 13 Aug 2010 at the Waipahu Civic Center, 94-275 Mokuola St., from 7-9 pm. All that are interested in re-organizing this group are invited.

could you please refresh my memory as to what happened in the first place to Oahu's ASA Group? Didn' they have some problems with a members using the meetings as place to sell indoor equipment? If true, that's sad as fuck!

Look what I found growing in the coco base of a clone I was trying to save :)
I tried growing shrooms about 15 years ago when I didn't know what I was doing and I failed.. So I have no clue in this department...
Any fungus experts around ?
