Seems to be a controversy on the dangers of DE. For example, this site says perfectly safe:
Interesting, read the info on that link, and I hope that's true.
I got my info from old school farmers, perhaps its inaccurate or outdated... who knows. It's just been what people tell each other for a long time.
Yep agree. Me too
That stinks. Nice pictures.
I'm in NW Florida, and had worms on my BST2's a couple weeks ago, just as they were starting to bloom. Only the second time I have ever had to deal with them though. I've been hitting them with neem once a week since. Won't be able to do much longer. Unless I want Neem flavored buds.
That sucks man its a battle with the bugs and sometimes they win. Nice pics of the rest..the girls look healthy.Learn something new every day.... For some reason I thought bud worms were a CA problem, you are the first person in Oregon that I have heard of hit by them, although in retrospect I'm sure there were others and I missed it.
The rest of your girls are looking great
I'm over in Albany. I'd say they started about 10 - 12 days ago. I think they are looking pretty good, except I'm now down to two! Ms Donkey Kong is actually Sir DK. Dang it!
That is true for many things, from PM to bugs. I've got 9 plants and only one with worms (so far at least). In terms of healthy ecosystems, there are three factors: redundancy, diversity, and modularity. In sustainable organic food production, they follow these rules, and for growing cannabis we should apply them if we can.
Shit bro, I know exactly what you're talking about, I did an indoor run just prior to this outdoor season, and my Oregon Diesels (gotta love the early finishers when you're having to bankroll a plants photosynthesis with HID lights) smelled so much like blueberry muffins at one point, I'd trip on that scent every time I was around it. Not a bad smell to have permeate my entire house, as well as all my girls clothing...Just got back from a two week road trip and thought I'd post an update. Thank goodness for drip irrigation and no power outages! The monster is a sugar black rose cut. About 8 ft tall, several ft wide. It's been flowering for about two weeks. Starting to give off a sweet skunky smell. Smaller plant is oregon diesel. It's living up to its reputation of early flowering, been at it for 4 weeks or so. Tops and secondary nodes really starting to fill in. It's crazy how much it smells like blueberry muffins!
Fingers crossed, no bad bug problems so far. Have noticed a pretty healthy population of orb spiders. Maybe they are keeping the bad bugs in check.
All the other ladies are looking great! Next month and a half is important, good luck to everyone. @breadboy , those ladies need to go on a diet
Can't really complain though, I do still get to go at the outdoor season full dangle lol.
I had a thunderstorm come through on Tuesday that laid some of my taller ones over. They don't have any weight on them yet, so I just pulled them out of the nearby trees and picked the leaves and sticks out. But two of them are males. They won't be around that much longer.
Have you tried a carbon filter?Shit bro, I know exactly what you're talking about, I did an indoor run just prior to this outdoor season, and my Oregon Diesels (gotta love the early finishers when you're having to bankroll a plants photosynthesis with HID lights) smelled so much like blueberry muffins at one point, I'd trip on that scent every time I was around it.

While my girl likes dank, she teaches at a private school in Ashland, and they didn't like that someone had overheard a couple students saying
"Miss #!?$% lives at the dank factory!" on account of her stanky dank clothes I'm assuming.
Thank god that hippie town is so chill, I imagine most schools in most towns, woulda canned her, or at least demanded a ua.
So no more big indoor runs inside the house for me
