Your girls are looking great everyone on this thread.

Mine are kicking along nicely, it's been a daily battle to keep the height under 6ft, but doing so has created a couple of monsters.

A couple of questions for you guys, are you doing any pre-emptive treatments for budworm?

And I seem to have some leaf miners, the top 1/4 is completely healthy, but the lower leaves have signs.
Should I be worried? And should I take any action now?

Cheers for any advice.

I will update some flower pics later today, I can see the first surgery bits

Looking great HB! I had a few leafminers 4 weeks ago so done some spraying and the gear i got now does the mights and the caterpillers pretty good so if i was you possibly a spray now should keep them at bay for a few weeks ?the only thing is the spray leaves a kinda white soapy stain on some leaves after but im pretty sure a couple foliar sprays with water the next day would clean that...looking real gd man for sure.
Im proud of the fact that i started this crazy thread and im having my best year so far and theres a lotta pll not afraid to post pics of their girls and they are even better than what i have...i dont get jealous at all im just glad ppl are succeeding

I have been spraying all season for mites, I'm hoping that will knock the worms too...
If you haven't already strip 150-300mm from soil height, it's better to turn them into clones and that way the plant has more energy for the tops, if I were you I would get spraying before it's too late....

Kk, thanks again guys, I got some of that Eco-oil.

Should I wait until the sun goes down before I spray? Disregard this, I just read your above post

Unfortunately there is no hydro shop anywhere near me.

I have a resident preying mantis in my plants, he's been there over a week now, it's probably a sign that I have plenty of bugs.

I'm wondering if I should try and avoid him with the spray, or will he be ok with it?

I consider him to be my little buddy

Anyway you can take him.off put in somethjng and put him back next day ? Just a thought if u want him to stay...by the way when u spray that eco oil it smells a bit like deep heat lol...cant smell it the next day tho it works well if u have any mites u wont after one spray but i would spray weekly until say week 4 or 5 of flower

i was going to spray all the way through to the last two weeks with the Eco-oil, I was assuming there was not much of a withholding period with it. Is it more about the taste? Or does it leave a dangerous residue?
