My buddy's clones got to looking that far along. I pinched off everything but the tips to help them along. After about a week, they seem to have responded well.
Mine are in the 2nd full week. I'm thinking of hitting her and the Ass Cheese Blues with some Boggle Gum pollen I have, All I need is 4 weeks to make seeds.

Grasshoppers ands mites are giving me trouble. Finally have some cooler weather ands rain coming which will help with the hoppers. The plants could use a break from 90+ to I'm sure.

I have some insect cloth on the way and have been dusting with DE. Hit them with neem shower a couple times already.

Never used DE for hoppers so ddusting whole plant is new to me. I'm afraid to leave them dusted all day in the sun.

Has anyone drone this? I know It's common practice on many other crops.

Grasshopper season is in full swing here as well.. I have just sprayed them down with neem once a week and hope they outgrow the damage.

Hoppers are back minutes after I spray neem, don't think it bothers them. Maybe slow kill but doesn't help the situation.

I grabbed some poly netting fabric from wal mart. Should keep the hoppers out and provide a little shade.

I’ve had really good luck with spinosad for leaf hoppers and caterpillars. It’s worth a shot.
