I've used a couple different brands. They seem to work about the same. I believe the one I have right now is Safer brand. If you have a heavy infestation you may want to spray twice a week or after it rains because it washes off pretty easily and seems to be ineffective after rain

2 TBS per gallon and only spray it in the evening. Nothing works better than BT.
I spray everything within 30 feet of my plants, especially any trees.
Spray once a week for a month and then spray monthly to keep them away.
Last year I sprayed my lemon bush and the next day there was a half-dead huge caterpillar at the tip of one of the branches.
The whole garden exploded with new growth afterwards.
It is mind-blowing how much damage those critters cause.

Just got some safer brand b.t going to spray them in the evening , any thing specific to wash it with be for harvest iv heard people using a few tsp of hydrogen peroxide or Lemon water in a 5 gallon bucket full of water and dunk the buds in right when you harvest.

Just use water. The hydrogen peroxide is for killing powdery mildew and other fungus post harvest which is cool, but the H2O2 will also have an oxidizing effect on your buds which will make the cannabinoids "age" more rapidly which isn't a big deal if you go through it quick. I believe lemon juice would have the same effect.
I use a 3 tub/bucket wash. I cut off the big fan leaves (which could be optional depending on your drying conditions)and then I vigoursly dunk each branch 10 times each in each bucket and use a smooth pendulum motion to whisk most of the water out, then hang them to dry somewhere with good air flow. If the first bucket gets too dirty I dump it out and fill with fresh water and make that the third bucket and bump the other two down to be the second and first buckets and just keep rotating the buckets if necessary. The third bucket's water should stay clean. I've had a surprising amount of junk come off my buds post harvest with the bud washing e.g. dust, bugs, weed seeds, spray residue, etc. It's standard practice for me now. And if you're doing it right you shouldn't have any tricome loss. I've scoped the buds before and after and couldn't see any tricome loss. If you've got a scope/eye loupe you might want to check out your washing skills to see how it's affecting (or not affecting) the tricomes. It shouldn't be a problem though for the most part. Fresh cut plants seem to hold onto their tricomes pretty good even with vigorous dunking. Let us know what you think about it after you give it a try. Hopefully I making sense here too, ha ha. Also, the washing may add a day or so to your dry time, just FYI.

Have you run that one before? Got any pics?
HP13 has been over here for a long time and has been used in a lot of crosses here over the years. I've never grown it, but I would in a second. It has a nice nasty funk, produces good looking buds and handles our tropical weather nicely. Other than HP13 and it's crosses I can't think of any other hash plant strains.
Do you get much rain where you're at white boy?

This has an over powered sweet citrus/cat piss skunk smell, i normally run about 5 or more every crop just for hash this time im doing 12 just for hash , not really alot of rain haha but every once in a while we get a good down pour and i cover my plants at night to keep the morning dew off because ocean view is prone for white powdery mildew altho not many around here are willing to admit it

Hey howzit Oreta? I tried a couple auto freebies. They ended up less than a foot tall with probably a few grams of bud. That's a pretty small sample size to base any opinion off of, but I'd guess we don't have the daylight hours autos like to have.

I should also say I only put them in 1 gallon pots and I think it was during short season so it really wasn't a good test for autos here, but I'm still going to guess most of them won't get that big here. I could be wrong about that though. Let us know how your auto does.
I never heard of growdiaries til you mentioned it. It looks pretty cool though.

here some pics of my garden. But my auto I lst'd and everyone says u shouldn't and I also give it supplemental lighting to get 18 hrs of light. The auto is gorilla glue from fast buds.
Also I think grow diaries has been one of the easiest sites to make grow journals but most guys grow indoors there
