It turns out there was more worm damage than I first thought. I should have been spraying twice a week much sooner!

I don't know if it's because it's such an early bloomer or if they just love the smell, but the worms are on the Medi with a vengence!

I've been spraying twice a week for a week now so all the worms I'm finding are small (newly hatched), but there's a lot of older damage from when I was only spraying once a week. Phuck!

I've trimmed a little over 4lbs (wet) to just get the damaged flowers. Look's like maybe 1/2 the plant. The rest of the plant looks bug free.

Spray your flowers people!

Hey jj-
I start my BT treatment today, I have yet to spray this year for worms. I've been spraying the Green Light Fruit tree spray for mites, I'm guessing it's taking care of the worm issues too. The label says it treats for worms as well as many other things, a "broad range" spray.
I look everyday, but no worms yet, them resident bats are doing a great job on the moths. Years past I remember seeing Meat Bees shooting in and out of the plants, I'm sure they were in there hunting bugs.
Good luck jj...
TMB-

I have bees all over. They go in and out of the girls and the grass. I have noticed that since they have arrived, my flea population has diminished.
I have been using the Green Light fruit tree spray as you suggested TMB. Between that and the BT I think I finally have the worms conquered. (knock on wood). 3 days now I haven't found one. Let's just hope it works on the white flies and now mites that I have on the GR!

It's a never ending problem these pests.
I've noticed a MUCH larger population of Meat Bees in the late summer. My wife drove across the central valley on Saturday to Salinas (3hrs there, and 3 back), when she got home, within 1 hour there were dozens, maybe a couple hundred Meat Bees eating all the dead bugs on the truck grill. It was scary seeing how many bees their were. They are aggressive eaters/hunters and I think they play a large part of insect control in the garden. Hate them at a picnic, but love them in the garden.
TMB-

Hey Djj, looking fantastic.
I have a problem I hope you can help with. I found mold. I cut out what I could find. My biggest problem, SD & 75% humidity. *Any suggestions?

Thanks GGT
PS I never had this problem growing hydro

I went & got a 1 acre elect Zapper!

Gandalf, sounds like you need more air flow thru there bro. Fans maybe?

Good luck

I am leary of ordering from Amsterdam seeds since they say they didn't get their order, but sannie seeds has a herijuana and they show the exact same picture as amsterdam seeds. Think it's the same.

Tristy.. they aren't the same.. Sannie's is great gear, powerful and very popular amongst couchlockers but a longer flower.. I just got some Medi from Amsterdam Seeds (alas I'm not in the same state as DJJ and Hodge) and my order came through ok.. From my reading of other boards it seems Amsterdam Seeds is honest but filled with stoners.. Orders get mislabeld, misaddressed, etc.. Not trying to recommend them but in order to try the Medi I gave them a shot and lucked out with my order.. Now I hope they are the right seeds.. (Sigh.. wish I could get a hold of Hodgegrown..lol)

JJ, that's gonna kill lots of bugs...lol
Son and two of his friends were picking worms off the medi yesterday, got around 80 off the 3 plants, spraying the other strains with spinosad and no worms yet. Think the Safer Caterpillar Killer was not working, sprayed twice a week and only at dusk, stuff has a 12 hours span but the worms have to ingest it to be effective? Read the spinosad kills on contact, so hope it's going to get them (worms) under control?
The bud that was pollenated has some damage but still have my fingers crossed she makes it for 2 more weeks, seems there's alot of interest in adding her to some of our fellow RIUpers menu. Will help all I can so be patient...

I feel for ya! Ive got what i think is just plain ol'rot! Sux tho! Good luck with your battle sir!

DJJ,
Shoot me a call if you get a sec. I sent you a PM earlier, dont think it went.
Hops

Man looking good guys.. I was hoping that my Platinum Bubba would be done this weekend but it's got another week or so still.

Hang in there ABM, were coming down the home stretch! The good news is 'no rain in sight'!

LOVING THAT LAST BIT!! I remember last year this time I was running home to take the ladies out of the rain!!

they will get theirs one day

just wow!!!

I just can't decide if my plants are done. I've read all along my grow now reading tons more. So many people are saying 100 cloudy and so many others are saying you need amber like 25-50%. The buds seem to have stop growing weeks ago and just look awesome but I don't want to rob myself of potency.
