As if I haven't had enough problems with pests already, I found this little f^cker when I was going over my trichs on the big screen. If he were green, no biggie, caterpillars aren't usually much problem but this looks like a beetle larva to me, and on one of my favorite f^cking buds. I know it's not too late for Spinosad as long as I do a wash so I'm going to nip this bullsh*t in the bud (so to speak). I don't need some little bastards shacking up inside my buds.

There are no signs of worms or caterpillars anywhere other than a few random threads that could be theirs or mites. If they're inside the buds there's nothing I can do to stop them without making it unsmokable. That picture was taken right around the last time I sprayed Azamax. It is effective against caterpillars, worms, maggots, and beetle larva so it's probably either dead or didn't do any munchin. Cool.

Here's some help for new growers or more advanced growers if you want to try something different.

It was really confusing and stressful when I had to figure out the nutrients needed to feed my girls the first time. It's not that there's too little info out there, on the contrary, there's way too much. So here's a complete set of nutes for all stages of flower. All are by Fox Farms so they will work together very well without the worry you have too much or too little of any given ingredient. Fox Farms also has two pamphlets, one with all their products and uses, and another with feeding and flushing schedules for most/all the various grow mediums. You will also likely need B vitamins and and a Cal Mag mix when you see yellowing and dropping fan leaves during the first stages of bloom and it's a good idea to have them on hand to help with nitrogen and other nutrient locks or uptake problems during any stage of growth. Sledgehammer will help with this as well.

The salts in the front row are not used at the same time. Each is specially formulated for a particular stage of bloom and you might not even use Cha Ching if you have girls with a short bloom period or are sensitive to nitrogen.

The back row of nutes is a single feeding for my girls @60 gal of water. The salts last much longer. I'm only using 5 tsp per week per plant in 200 gal smart pots.

The Sledgehammer is used every so often on a regular schedule or as an emergency flush. The pamphlet will help you schedule everything with a few adjustments for cannabis.

You may want to start with as little as 1/8 the reccomended dosage and work up to a stable level over time. You can also run them lean if you need to save money. I hope this helps.

5th picture down Orange Creamsicle, and if you can find the beans for that please let me know because I'm on the hunt too. These were clones. Orange Creamsicle, smells like tangerines, tastes like Orange on the inhale Vanilla Cream on the exhale, extremely heavy yield and extremely potent, Parents are Juicy Fruit x Orange Crush (if it weren't so attractive to pests it would be a perfect 10).

If you meant 5th down after the three close-up shots (the really tall cola), that's Royal Nepal Kush, super heavy resin/hash producer, used for Nepalese Buddhist ceremonies (or something like that), Parents are Royal Dane x Nepal Kush

If you were local I'd kick you down that nug. It's my favorite. Not because it's any bigger than the rest, most are that big, but because it's given me the best pictures. I can't wait to smoke it, but I won't dare ruin it by harvesting a second too early. I can't believe they're only at the beginning of the swell.

Yup, yup. You'd definitely get this and not the Snickle-fritz.

Slappin some pics up just for the halibut...

Lookin good today. Lots of reds & purples poppin. Last night was cold for a few hours, awesome for adding color without slowing growth. It was back to a perfect 65F by the time the sun came up. Absolutely beautimus day and night, perfect weather for flowers.

Upped my nutes to about $150 per feeding. It'll give a good push to the swell until I flush em in a few weeks.

Looking good! ,How do you flush in soil? Since you can't get runoff wont you be overwatering?

Smartpots will flush if you overwater them. Double the water and use Sledgehammer to unbind locked salts.

Sorry, I forgot you were in smartpots. I guess i should just stop giving nutes for a while. I dont think Ill get a flush though with all the compost and worms I got.

I accidentally started to pour a third 5er of water in this one and the excess came right out the bottom.

I thought you were in smartpots too (fabric pots, I call all fabric smartpots they all work the same).

I'm pretty sure you can still flush in a standard plastic pot. I'll get some info on it and get back to you. I'm think I saw some instructions on how to do it about a month ago. I'll check the Cannabis Encyclopedia too. We'll get you fixed up. In the meantime it might not be a bad idea for you to pick up some Fox Farms Bushdoctor Sledgehammer to help get any locked nutes released. It's only $20. That sise took care 60 gal of water. One feeding for my girls but you could probably get two flushes out of it. Fox Farms scedule recommends flushing every two to three weeks. The cool thing about Sledgehammer is you can still feed in the same water you're using for a flush.

I have some flushkng agent already, but my plants are straight in the earth. Maybe just water from now on and a longer cure.

Sorry, I think I got your garden mixed up with dboy510's. My memory isn't what it once was. I remember now, Cochella Valley type soil in a chicken coop (That's how I usually remember your grow, not that you actually live there).

Slow your drying time as much as possible as well. I hate to say this but chopping the whole plant and hanging it as one piece or several very large pieces (don't trim off the fans) should dramatically slow your drying time.

Flushing soil would be a last ditch effort for me. It would drown all those happy worms.

Good point. It's not something I think about because I'm sure I have no worms in my soil.

Alright, I'm working on the pics now as long as no one comes by and distracts me I can finally get them posted. I was out of weed today (which is really distracting) and my regular delivery service was pulling the normal "We're all out of everything you want but we'll keep it posted on WeedMaps as available" but we'll happily substitute sh*t you don't want for the same price, sh*t. I decided to try a new guy and this is how it went...

Met him 30 minutes from when I first talked to him. I got 1oz Jillybean, 1 gr Fire OG shatter, 1 gr Cookies Glue shatter, 1 gr Durban Poison oil (for vape cartridge refills), 1 gr Blueberry Kush oil, 1 gr Nepalese flower, all for $205! F^ck yah!

Now I'm ready to do some photo editing. Buuuuungh. I love my town.
