Rain soaked kolas from Ophelia, what to do?

[Oldchucky]

And get some bamboo or something and jam it into the pots and tie them up to it. They aren’t going to survive unless you provide some support! Obviously!

I made my best effort lol. They’re standing up a lot straighter than before. Almost touching the ground. Now how do I keep these damn caterpillars off my buds? I found at least 5 spots so far that were tore up and full of this brown shit. And every spot had a catarpillar inside.

Good job! Looks 100% better! Now at least they have a fighting chance! I just spent three hours Mickey Mouseing some support for Mine! You’ll be surprise what a little imagination can get you when it comes to supporting plants! Sometimes it works! Sometimes it doesn’t! But at least you made the effort! And I think it’s too late to do anything about the cats! Once they get into the bud you can spray till Hell freezes over and it won’t do any good. All you can do is keep chopping out the damage and hope something is left in the end! Good luck, brother, and welcome to the wonderful world of dope growing outdoors! Lol!

to stop the caterpillars, spray with BTK last week.

Lol. I felt like a bridge engineer with my twine placement I gotta go out and do the last one here in a bit. Shit is time consuming.

We East Coast farmers just washed our buds…
That’s what the tropical storm was for.

How much more washing do they need?

Great point, just learned about bud washing. Only my second grow. In 3 weeks I hope to harvest and then a nice bath and dry out.

 

[radrichie61]

i do the same but i’d be holding it a bit higher up

I agree, I shake every am, very carefully and workin fine. Y’all rock

 

[radrichie61]

Man you got lucky. Mine are all very very said looking. I didn’t do anything about the storm. Just let them sit out there. One of View attachment 2047012View attachment 2047013my stalks split down the middle and a couple branches snapped off from the weight too. I’m just hoping they don’t all get destroyed by mold.

Sucks eh. Lost one big kola last year.

 

[radrichie61]

Shake them dry as best you can. You should do this every morning anyway, if you’re on the east coast. Do it a couple times a day, but be careful of snapping stems if they’re too too heavy.

Everyone morning like clockwork and fans blowing too, in an outdoor grow. I’m so crazy.

Last week before harvest Mr. H?

No, I mean start yesterday. I leave a couple-three weeks with no spray before harvest.
