Hey everybody, can't respond to all comments but will post a short hello to all.
Working in the garden the last few days while the weather has been mellow, mid to upper 80s, so getting it done while there's a break in the heat. Lots of leaf to pull and clean boxes, all is looking good, did find another 5 caterpillars yesterday, most were in the Crooked Prairie (3) in 1 plant, seems the little buggers are hatching out first in the early Indica's. My good friend called me yesterday and said he had also found his first caterpillar of the year.:cuss:He's located 2 counties away from me, but the garden I have at a higher elevation (different county) has yet to find any caterpillars.
Did hear an interesting story, chop up garlic and place it into plastic jugs with water, let ferment for a few days then open containers and place them in your grow area or room and it's suppose to help with bugs. Haven't tried it but thought I would throw it out there for others if so inclined..It's organic...lol Well coffee is almost done and have to head out for the pulling of the leaves, " what you think I sit around and gab all day?" lol:peace:

I prefer to use a concentrate spray indoors.... works for mites white flies and all kinds of unwanted critters..... garlic is great stuff, ;).... works better than safer spray or spinosad from my experience...... but then again, I already don't like spraying anything to begin with ;)

Looks to be 3 to 4 weeks away, get a blooming nutes and hit it a couple times between now and the end of Sept.. Invest in a scope to watch the tricolms for best results..Good luck.:mrgreen:

Hey everyone, was a bit on the warm side here today, didn't take any pics today but will try to do so tomorrow. The wife bloomed again with the molasses, plants are really stacking nicely and the aroma's are mind blowing. You have the Mango, sweet and fruity, the skunk (pew) lol, the White Queen is unique almost like a citrus flower. There's 5 more strains emitting their special smell, makes for an interesting mix.
1 more caterpillar found in the Crooked Prairie today, she's the closest to being done so their hatching out daily. All in all I think the caterpillars are less in volume this season, while I did a preventative type spraying, it didn't kill all the worms but I believe the volume this year to be less than this time last year. Hope I'm not getting ahead of myself, keeping fingers crossed..
Have the Durban's which are sativa's and the Super Nova which are hybrids showing more sativa. Still have a long way to go with them, don't know if the caterpillars will make them their new food of choice? While they did get sprayed, I will discontinue the spraying from now on to the finish. Will keep posting the results..:peace:
