Aloha once again braddahs. I was looking thru my little garden tonight and I noticed what I think is markings left behind on leaves by slugs. Kindah long squirly squiggly lines. Can they potentially cause damage to my ladies? So far I been spraying them down once a week with spinosad and once a week with bt. Any info greatly appreciated.
Diatomaceous earth works pretty good if your looking for an organic solution, just don't apply it to plant that's flowering. If you want pristine looking plants you'll need to build a greenhouse. Slugs are easy to get rid of...leaf minors are something you'll have to live with if your plants are grown out in the open.

Yeah and if you still see a little black worm looking thing then you can just squeeze the leaf and smash dat sucka! If you look at my grapefruit plant, it's pretty much all colas which makes for a very easy trim job. Got so much donkey dicks it looks like a sex shop when you walk in my dry room, untrimmed and deboned it put out 18.2 zips. Has an pungent earthy smell but when you crack a bud open it turns into a fruity earthy smell. At 8 weeks it was very fruity and didn't start to put on the earthy smell til the end.

Thanks man! The PT is jarred up and it smells killer, the white was given to me by another member and i don't recall where the genetics originated, but i think it did come from rascal, i just can't say for sure.
I was looking into some of his beans, but I'm pretty set for now and I don't feel like being greedy heh, but you must be stoked to have some EMC genetics, that's a blessing. I've read smoke reports on pure kush before me likey.

^ ^ ^ you are right puna the more bright red the dirt generally the higher the PH, it has been "weathered" aka depleted of nutrients, microbes organic matter, all that good stuff. Some of the darker red dirt soil can be some good stuff for growing however.

I live in Puna.....and it's 24 plants! I know cause when the "Ghetto Birds" fly, we just wave at them as they circle our crop. You can listen to them as they conduct their job if you have the right app for your iPhone. But here is the read on the Blue sky Initiative

puna for ages i've looked for the radio frequency they use, i've downloaded every iphone 5-0 app there is. They talk on a combo of aviation frequency (tells ATC where they going, their operations etc) and their own (discussing ripping plants) methinks you would have to get a legit radio scanner and just keep looking for it.

if you look carefully, you can see their little greenish bodies, poke them with a needle and they are gone at no damage to the plant, although it takes a while to get an infested plant clean using this method! I suggest being EXTRA stoned.

Diatomaceous earth works pretty good if your looking for an organic solution
D.E. is great, but if it gets even a tiny bit of water on it, it becomes useless. If I had an indoor op that shit would be sprinkled all over the floor walls everything, cus it works well.

I don't know if you're all thumbs or what "Grassman"? But we sit here and listen to them communicate from Chopper to vans....on our iPhones! Perhaps it's just Big Island style, but it works here!

Just wondering, when does one start pulling off sun leaves, not sugar leaves, as plant starts to finish flowering. I talking about the ones that come out off the stem, not the one growing into the buds. I get one at 6 weeks and she progressing pretty fast, but da lower bud spots still lookin kindah young. I'm thinking it's due to lack of light. Shoots, alojahz. And mahalo nui errrrbody for da quick responses. Alojahz

A few pics from last grow. The first pic was by accident, the pic with purple flower is Cindy La Pew(C-99 X G-13 skunk) X Colombian Black. The next pic with dark leaves was my personal favorite from this past year. She is WhiteFire X Sour Diesel, and the last one is my own Lemonwreck( trainwreck X Lemon Larry).

My new keiki lineup for current grow is:

Lemon Diesel X LTC-99
Platinum Bubba X Joseph OG
Purple Kush X Joseph OG
Blue Hashplant X Joseph OG
WhiteFire X Sour Diesel(F-1s)
Mendo Queen X Grape Stomper OG (F-1s)
trainwreck X 707 X OG

don't pull any of your leaves! Tuck them under branches if you have to, but don't cut! Plant will suffer to much!

Your correct, water makes D.E. less effective, but it does dry out and its effective again. I failed to mention that D.E. should be used as part of your Pest Management Plan, and certainly not by itself. I use about 5 or 6 organic products as part of my PMP.

Hey Puna Bud - My Dad lived upcountry for most of his life. I remember Kula onions, avocados the size of footballs, and Real Maui potato chips! I would love to get some of that Kula soil and some gardening leessons from some Chinese Kula farmers. I have been reading up on the soil types and what is in them. I just know between the Hawaiian sun and island soil, everything grows bigger and tastier. I still have not had any better smoke than Maui Wowie, Kauai Duke, and Kona Red.

My water leaves are turning yellow and coming off with the slightest touch. I am removing those only. They have finished their jobs. It was 95 degrees here today - had to water twice! The girls just keep getting sparklier!

Pollinated bud:



Cheers,
Mo

hey bro. that is a classic case of leaf miner. very common when growing the herb outdoor in hawai'i. you can put up sticky strips and whatnot to try and keep out the "flyers", aka flies and moths, that put them there, but I just kind of live with it cause I have a hard time getting rid of them. hard to eradicate them. try using pro-tekt from dyna-gro. that might help some. if you take a look at a lot of the outdoor pics here in this thread, you''l notice the leaf miner "trails" in the leaves of the plants.
Yeah, the Dr. Is probably right about it being leaf miners. If they're little yellow squigly lines then it's leaf miners. If it looks like wet or dried up slime then it's slugs. It's probably leaf miners though. Tomato plants get them here a lot too,

And being that we're coming up on wet season, what can I do to prevent mold. Haven't noticed any yet but I don't want any. I'm about 6 weeks in flower. Serenade, can or no can?

Simply cover them from precipitation , be sure to ventilate the project if the rain continues.... i have all outdoor no pots ...raised planters heavy timber construcion log cabin style...it takes me alone abt 7 min to cover 200 squre feet of soil ...looks like a rain delay in Detroit....slappin a tarp.
