032.jpg031.jpgi have a killer strain and i got a nice thick stalk but im noticing holes allover my leaves it started as just the bottom leave sets. A couple where half eaten. I noticed a slug on the stem node once and removed it killed it killed a couple that were underneath the pot big boys been using beer traps past month seemed like just the bottom sets of leaves had holes now its all over. i have placed copper wire around it put a piece of plywood underneath it idk if any of this will help. I checked it out today and noticed all the leafs starting to get holes now i took a can of beer and placed it on top of the soil for ten mins and nothing happend sept a couple slugs from the ground where coming out n crawling closer 2 the plant nothing came out of the plant soil so im lost whats wierd is on the top growth im seeing alil bit of red spots on the leaf idk whats going on maybe too many nutes aswell as bugs eating it?? ive got the pot with a mixture of kgro potting soil and some turned compost from a farm no nutes added sept i used a pinch of gauno last month idk if maybe the compost had enough nutes and i dident need 2 add the gauno pinch??. Any ideas on how 2 save this plant its bushy and bright green in the stem real thick still.

Picture 99.jpgPicture 97.jpgwhat will that do is it like spraying soapy water on it? doesnt alch suck the resins out of the plant??? should i try slug bait???? i mean its been sunny out for 2 days and it seems like there still getting 2 it at night and sometimes when i check it there will be one or 2 on the plant there hasnt been any on it past 2 days but its drooping heavy. idk if its budding yet its at a foot and a half i thought it was 2 ft tall but its like a foot and a half. i dont see any buds yet just the top looks like its growing out. The bottom sets are turning yellow slightly as they were diyin. The picture here shows a big leaf i pulled off the plant that was sagging as u can see its turning brown and some of it is turning black idk if that helps maybe it is some sort of fungus???

i would use 7 dust since it's still in veg but a lot of growers use alcohol mixed 50/50 with water.

thankz man i used 70% iso 3 inches in the spray bottle and the rest water i sprayed the leaves top and underneath 2 and dumped alil of it in the soil i noticed under the pot ther were 2 or 3 lil fly looking things with wings when i picked it up and there were ants attacking it i dont belive that has anything 2 do with the plants health anyways hee are somemore pics i took another dying leave off of it today there all looking kinda bad at the bottom i hope i can save it ive been told that my leaves are 2 big 2 be a female but i dont belive that im sure some plants grow good sized leaves and others dont i dont see any pods just pointy pistles im almost 100% certain this is female. btw i added a pinch of gauno yesterday becuase i figured its being robbed of nutes. one more thing how long do i need 2 keep spraying this thing every day for a week or everyother day just once ??? Heres a couple new picsPicture 99.jpgPicture 100.jpg
 
You shouldnt have to keep spraying. Once the bugs are killed they are killed. But if you notice that they have came back just spray again. Just remember not to do it in the flowering stage. No one wants to smoke alcohol. And YOu should probably dilute the alcohol to 50 percent just to be more careful of the plant.

oh yea and the leaves dont mean anything. Just check the budding sites to see if its a female. hopefully it is!!!
and happy smoking :)

If ya wanna be really cautious, piss around your plants... mark your turf for squirrels and shit, also a little ORTHO pest control would help to spray around the grass around your girls... make a perimeter
 
pissing is not such a good idea. it contains way too much nitrogen and that would get into the roots. even if you just piss around your plants the roots spread out so they would still be absorbing all that nitrogen. It would kill them

ive herd a morinin piss is good for them right when u wake up. but only when u first wake up idk either way i never trried i have pissed around my plant so to keep deer away. Well it rained at night here for a couple hours 3-4 idk if it washed the alch off already i mean i cant keep going 2 check on this thing i might atrract attention to it get it ripped off or something my goal is 2 be able stop the problem. and hopefully not need 2 check on them for 2 weeks im getting sick of this every other day shit and im getting parinoid i might go back after the weekend install some slug bait if it looks worse ill spray it again i try a piece of one of the big shade leaves that fell off i had drying for 2 days i think i might have actually gotten buzzed i mixed it with a pinch of middy. Thankx man i hope it is 2 it should be almost 2 and half feet tall i thought seems this thinng is only a foot and a half alil over i dont see how it would ever get to 5-6 ft tall by october. is it true when the days get shorter and night colder lesser chance for disease and less bug's?? is it possiable by mid september i wont have 2 watch it as much in a colder climate??
 
well turst me it will get bigger once the days get shorter. I kept mine in a closet for one day and wen i took it out it had grown three inches and branched alot. The dark makes them stretch unbelievably! but yea man make sure to report back when you get harvest. I had to kill my plant since i left for two months :/ so i didnt get to see a harvest. be interesting to see hwo well urs turns out

most of the big leaves dead and just about fell off. The plant is droopin heavy every leaf almost curling downward not up. I picked a few of the big leaves off cuz i herd from people more light will focus on the buds even though it dont look like its budding yet. The new growth seems healthy but im unsure i did notice my leaves dident look as hairy and slimy 2day the one i picked that dident turn brown actually looked like a solid green leaf a flat color where as before it seemed like the leafs had a shiney hairy like appearance almost like there was pieces of stringy spider webs on it now i donot see that leaves are a flat green. the alchohol must have done something from one spray i gave it another spray 2 day that should keep the bugs off of it for week or 2. what ive done 2 the ground took some sand and salt mixture from winter bucket layed it around the ground where the bucket was put the bucket on top of that then took some speedy dry the stuff garages use 2 soak up oil and placed that all around my pot on top of the salt sand leaving my copper wire uncovered. i havent seemed 2 see any slugs the past 2 days i assume this will work for a week or 2 without any beer or slug bait idk i was just drawing strings. Hopefully this thing recovers as i belive thats what happend 2 my last grow i put my pot outside for a couple of days 2 help it take off everything looked good then it withered away indoors mind u same strain i belive the same insects killed my last one there where stringy like hairy strands on the leaves like i was seeing now. One leaf out of the 7 would have a strand of string going 2 another one witch ill assume was really a web??

i havent seen any slugs the past 2 weeks since i spread that salt sand and speedy dry mixture down around it. i just checked up on it today and gave it a gallon drink however the leaves look like there turning a greenish yellow color from the inside outward i hope that is normal yellowing cause from what i can see on the very top of the plant white hairs so im begining 2 think its gone 2 flowering but ive never gotten one 2 survive this long so i have no idea. My mixture has been some store bought soil and about 50% of fine composted stuff broke down i only added 2 pinches of gauno on the top of the soil a month ago and and a pinch a 2 weeks ago because i figured the bugs stressed it and it needed some nutes 2 help it come back 2 life alil other then that i havent gave it no ferts during its life. last week i topped off the pot with 3 inches of the composted stuff because you loose some here and ther it seems and i noticed the stem was alil wabbley now it dont move around as much. I also noticed a a white almost clear looking spider on my plant i could see it it was about the size of a fly i quickly squished it and noticed stringy like hairs where the spider was im assuming it was the start of a web and that what i saw was a big spider mite??? i dont know.
