Yeah, I have issues with my outdoor ladies early on in the season with pests! Pisses me off bad!! :fire:
I also mix up a special pest spray that all organic, and have 2 say it works really well.. ;) Ask Stew.. he had to use/try it here recently..
Hey dank is your special spray used in flowering as well? Also any way you could pm the recipe if its not a secret, ive been trying to get rid of fruit flies for a few weeks. I do have sone fungus nats but only 1 or 2 and i caught them in my traps. Fruit flies on the other hand are smart as hell and escape the traps id say out of every 6 of them im catching 1 or 2 my plant does a much better job catching them sadly. Ate you having problems with bugs because of mild winters? Thats how it is here.

I got accidental seeds out the wazoo. I hope its not literally that many, that would suck... but still I wouldn't have to make another order for a long time! I was making some qwiso with trim and fan leaves the other day, and got some all over my hand, my hand got nice and tingly (I have multiple broken bones in each hand so they are always sore) and stopped being so painful for a while! I think I might just keep some leaves in a bottle of alcohol like that, and rub it on my hands every day or so, it was pretty boss.

Growing your own is the only way to make sure it's as high-quality as you want it to be! No pesticides that kill your lungs and you, the right benefits for what ails you, etc. While growing isn't always easy, it sure as hell ain't hard! The more you complicate things, the more complicated it gets. I like to keep it simple, and I've had no problems that weren't easily fixed.

Dank, thanks for starting this thread. I'm by far not the most experienced grower, but I can be helpful from time to time and will pitch in when I can add some good information.

cool place to hang out and talk, I get more information from reading other peoples experience than when I try to post a new thread and ask questions myself. My mexican friend told me that that's what they used to do, get rubbing alcohol and put weed in, since I started growing, and I showed him how, we have to buy more bottles of alcohol! I know its not on any list, but I still think its gonna be weird when I go into the store 4 days a week for some iso... Is there a way to make the weed more bag appeal, or is that just with the strain? I have some afghan/hindu kush, its purple as a mofo, you can see my profile pic, but when it dries out, it shrinks so much and the buds get tiny...

this is my first time growing them, and they started really late, they were planted july 1, and they were supposed to have been here the 1st of june. They will be coming down tomorrow or the day after, I have 2 that I might leave for 1 more week because most of the hairs are still white, but its hard to tell because they've all turned really purple. I'm also growing WW, double white cheese, blue thai, molaki kush, and wild thai, and 2 bag seeds, they started flowering maybe 2 weeks ago or so, I wasn't paying attention. the afghans started flowering early august

you didn't reference me in your seed pic, but thats why my afghan hindu went unseeded, I wasn't thinking the seeds would finish on time, I think I might have found a premature seed anyway, but only one in the afghan hindu

hmm, id say 28.9999999 Grams there tek at the least. If you fall short of that, well I dunno then man, guess your gonna have to use them couple hundred seeds your brewing to grow some more :P I'm just messing I dunno wtf im talking about. It looks like it was stunted alot, is she root bound? Can barely tell but the stem looks thick around the size of a double A or something.
