How do you outdoor growers do it?

Is that diatomaceous on your soil and leaves? Be careful on adding it to your soil. It absorbs and holds water. If too much gets into the top layer of soil it becomes hard as shit to water. Not to mention diatomaceous sucks ass. Yes it will kill bugs but only after they eat the shit out of your plants. Have used it many times and it's not a quick killer. By the time the buggers infesting your plants die they have already eaten half your crop.

DE is not an insecticide. It's not suppose kill like insecticides. You are supposed to put it on to keep the bugs off. It would kill them it they "ate the shit out of your plants" but that's not how it works. It's sharp edges cut them and they tend to stay away.

Evidently, you need to read-up on it and stop spreading BS.

It's weed. Yes, all good. She'll live, as long as you treat her right. You might have lost some mycorrhizae, but that stuff comes right back. Small roots could have come off. No biggie. Did you dust the roots with some rooting agent? That could have helped avoid x-plant shock. Looks like she'll be some good smoke. 'Bout a pound.

No I was gonna use recharge to water it in and that has myco in it but I had just used it 4 days ago and it's only supposed to be used once a week but I need to get some of thar Mykos stuff for sure..and about a pound? Damn! i hope so

..The biggest thing that washing does is remove loads of the terps....

Your bud does not sit in rain water. You can call Bullshit on it all you want but it's a fact. And yes I have. See those rainbow oils on the water top? That's your terps.

Bullshit it is.
So terpenes are water-soluble?

I use recharge too. I think that has beneficial bacteria. Your mycorrhizae can be fed with molasses. I use about a teaspoon per gallon. PH it and feed the mycorrhizae. It seems noticable. Good luck.

So much baseless bro science. From the National Institute of Health:

" terpenes are produced in the trichome structures available on the female cannabis flower "

Only way to lose terps is by losing trichomes, so unless you're power washing your plants with enough force to strip paint from a house, you won't lose terps/THC/other cannabinoids. It's oil based and not water soluble.

Having said that, unless you get a ton of shit on or in your buds there is no reason to wash buds

Do you guys think this would get bud rot

That's a nice looking plant. It should be really nice soon. I stopped growing in bags as of last year. If I put it in a bag I just killed it, or at least made it sick. I tried, but it didn't work for me.

One thing the bags did do for me last year was to leak all the nutrients out. The plant in the picture is growing in that spot. There were 8 bags with supper soil that got washed out in here. That plant should never be hungry. BTW,it's about a month younger than the others. younger

Man! That plant is a beauty. Whether it gets bud rot or not depends on how well you keep the buds clean. Keep the bugs and worms out.

Caught this fucker about to climb in my soil

Oh, no! It' a month younger than the ones behind it. The seed was dropped late in April. It was put in the ground about the middle of May.

Oh shit I was about to say damn..still good lookin plants I hope mine can make it to harvest ..the one in the picture is like 6 or 7 weeks old...just started taking notes about 2 weeks ago so I atleast can somewhat keep track

Don’t let them. They will burrow into the soil & breed. Get some Japanese nettle traps. They have these bags you hang with bait in them. Hang em about 100ft away from your garden.

Neem can help. Spray the top soil, and the entire plant at sundown. If they eat the leaves with neem, they will cary it back to the eggs.. which will prevent hatching.

Plants look good
Dances with .I wish i could grow like that here but i cant so there is a lot of rain here in the south i have not tried washing before with all the rain here smoke taste great so not sure why you wash.

Ok cool just went and did that now...trying to hold off on using Diatomaceous earth on this new soil these transplants are in..think I was putting to much of it on the soil and when it gets water on it, it starts clumping up and I figure that might not be too good for the soil.
