We've got a lot of grasshoppers here in eastern Oklahoma this year. They are eating the stems of my cannabis plants. They just eat the outer skin of the stems. When they eat enough so that they remove a complete circle around the stem, the whole stem dies above the circle. I've sprayed with
neem oil and garlic. The
neem oil doesn't seem to do much. I just started spraying with the garlic and cayenne pepper, and I think that is going to work pretty well. We also are raising some guineas to turn loose in the garden next year. But in the meantime, is there anything I can do to save the stems once the outer skin has been removed? Some kind of salve or jelly that could help the stem heal itself?
you can put a piece of tape around the stem,same for snapping a branch by accident ,im down by the border,i use cold press
neem oil every other week bt once a month,but go a step futher,i spray the soil also,they were tearing my corn a new ass,started the spray of soil and they wont lurk around waiting for the leaves to dry,i spray right before dark let dry over night not to hurt my bee colony,they loving the pumpkins hahaah,try spraying the soil with your mix too,cayenne and garlic work great for a minute,you can see the spiders scat,but come right back when the leaves are dry,so i alternate ,the neem and bt,bad worm catipillar this year,puts some whoop ass on them,so far corn is 4 ft tall in a month,just might get this stand complete before cool weather comes,if you dont know what BT is BACILLUS
