I am so fed up!!!!! Out looking at my Auto Blue, first time growing auto's (last time), she's looking beautiful and what do I see a lovely green caterpillar and a striped caterpillar. MOFO My concern is I have 3 other ladies just starting to flower. If I hit them up with BT will I kill any...

I have sadly been growing Tangerine Dream. She is a huge plant. I started her outside June 1, she has been flowering for 5 weeks, not one trichome. I'm pulling her tomorrow and free up space in the GH. Not very happy with Barney's at the moment!!

I need to know if it will harm the buds to cut them off the stem and place them on screen to dry. Rather than hanging them first. I have limited use of hands, trying to simply my harvest/drying/cure. Would appreciate help:roll:

I come here with my questions, so that I will learn. My ?'s may not be worded quickly, at least I ask. So be kind when you respond. I am concerned about Bud worms (that's how they have been described to me). I can't afford to lose any precious medicine. As with the rest of my garden I do...

This is my second year of growing outdoors. I am concerned on getting bud worm. Should I start a preventive program now? My ladies are doing beautifully and have already outgrown last year's crops. Lots of lessons learned. Early on I did find on one leaf a little green caterpillar, picked...

I would appreciate some advice here. This is my second year, last year was a large learning curve. My concern is that I will be leaving home and having a caregiver freind come and stay with my mom. She has no problem in watering my lovely ladies, my concern is it okay to use city water for 3...

Ok, I am on my 2nd grow. Last year wasn't great, I was told the reason my root balls where so small was due to soil mixture. As an avid gardener I am struggling with having to pay the price for Fox Farm Ocean. I am growing my legal limit in 20 gal smart pots. Any advice, opinions would be...

Ok, so I have read the threads and I am out in the hemisphere. I will be growing 9 plants in 20 gallon containers in greenhouse and in garden. I had planned on just using Fox Farm Ocean, then I started thinking:-P big trouble. Why could I not use a 50/50 mix of Fox Farm and MG soil. I would...

I want spring, first it would be nice to have a little winter in the PNW. No rain. Has anyone tried to grow in Smart Pots outside? I understand the advantage is that the roots are allowed to move freely unlike hard sided pots, also, is it better to grow in a greenhouse versus outside?

I had to harvest 4 girl's early due to bud rot. Left my enormous Pineapple Chunk in, found rot, cut it out. 2 days lost all of the cola's. I live in PNW, I was covered, had plenty of ventilation. Wish I had cut sooner! I'd say take him down.

I have been having bud rot problems. I was cutting out the affected buds. This a.m. cut off cola's, completely rotten. The trichs are just turning cloudy on rest of plant, how will early harvest effect the potency? Pineapple Chunk- smells awesome

Won't the mold continue to grow and spread?

HELP!! MY BEAUTIFUL PINEAPPLE CHUNK HAS BUD ROT ON ALL OF TOPS OF COLA'S. OUTDOOR GROW, LIVE IN PNW, HAVE HAD RAIN, TENTED W/VENT FROM FAN. SHE'S ABOUT A WEEK AWAY. DO I TAKE MY LOSS NOW OR GAMBLE?:sleep:

OMG, I have a sour diesel that I was going to harvest in 4 days. I just examined a bud and found a hole. I found mold on the stem? I applied Actinovate to ground soil and sprayed for PM with Serenade one week ago for the start of PM. What do I do, this is a large, beautiful plant....
