Dinafems reg WW auto is the reason i bought $450 worth of Mephisto seeds. I threw it in with a few photos, 3.9 gal pot from my autopot system(not on the res) with coco, fed with nutes 1 time a week(even being in coco) with an old 200 watt cfl from when i first started in 12' and got almost 1 1/2 oz. I didn't even try and she was such a good plant. I decided since i was low on phitos i was going to really put effort in autos for awhile and not dissapoi ted in my choice. I would always support Dinafem White Widow for anyone that wants a good easy plant that also will yeild well especially the XL since mine was just the reg auto.

Nah, not into breeding. I'll leave that to others who actually have the passion to breed and not just polinate and bx a few times. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are some home growers that will select good genes from lots of potential mothers and fathers but im sure most just take the 1st mom and dad from each gen and cross for seeds and thats not breeding a real strain. Its just not anything I'd be into.

Kind of ironic since I started this thread, but I'm throwing in the towel, waving the white flag, I give up. Spent hours taking down plants and doing first trims, and on others doing second trims, and worms have destroyed most of this grow. It seems like they found me three years ago and they've come back harder every year. I noticed three different types of worms this season. The one AvT that finished very early had no mature worms on it, although I'm pretty sure we'll be smoking eggs. The rest were all shades of fucked up.

I've thought about making hash with it, but I just keep imagining all that worm shit turning the water muddy and then coating the filtered trichomes... anyone have any thoughts or experience with that?

Luckily last year's indoor was good enough to carry us until next spring when this winter's indoor meds will be ready to use. Looks like I'll just be growing indoors from now on.

For the rest of you, ROCK ON! Enjoy the summer and the harvests :clap::peace::eyesmoke:

It's just the luck of the draw, this location for some reason has a ton of moths/worms. Might have to do with farms in the area, or woods, or something... all I know is friends who grow a dozen miles south or west of me never see a worm. I have one last test going -- the spring was too wet to spray the autos before they flowered, but I have three solid applications of spray on the pair of photos I have going. It'll be interesting to see if that does anything, in the past it's been hard to tell, a late rain can wash off a lot of early applications.

I've never heard of a "freezer cure" before, how does that work? When you say "cure", do you mean like "dry and cure", or just a way of dealing with the mold?

New like 2000s maybe a little eariler dont frost. The fridge pulls out moisture. Once buds are dry on outside at minimum the go on brown paper bag in freezer. Freezer slowly draws moisture from buds curing them. Cant keep opening freezer or it lets new moisture in. Anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks but longer the better. My buds are dry but its hot and humid here so i dont want to risk it. It takes away the smell while in there but once cured and back at room temp it comes back. I dont smoke so usially trim only fans and pluckable dry leaves and freeze. When cooking they are so brittle you can rub them between hands and they powder right up. Just going to get them oit of the heat asap and forget real trim which i was attempting this time.

Yeah, thanks bro. It's OK, I'm sort of getting burned out on growing all year long, I'm looking forward to taking next summer off! :)

Bummer!

I got lots of moths on my farm. They just have better things to eat than pot.

Please play around with cover crops for moths even if you take a break.

Any suggestions for cover crops? And Are the cover crops ones the moths like or ones that repel them?

Cover crops, I can't be 100% positive. But I am pretty sure braicas are very attractive to most moths/butterfly.
I got a real wild garden, lots of stuff growing, better for the bugs than the pot.

Oh
Freezer cure.. yes, been trying it Lately.

Like it alot so far.

Still slow drying first, then freeze, then burping jars for a bit.

Freeze cure seems to keep it fresh and smooth
Bubblelicious ... Is exactly that..
Search for threads, a good here on RUI

We have a pretty intense, at this point kind of overgrown garden, it's a mix of flowers fruits and veggies and has all kinds of bugs. I'm aware of two types of 'bug plants'; the kinds that repel bugs and the kinds that attract them. I understand the concept of attracting damaging bugs to expendable plants to keep them off of your preferred plants... but it still sort of concerns me because in the big picture I don't want to attract more moths to my yard if I can help it. So I'm on the fence about that.

I'm hoping if I skip a year or two of outdoor growing they'll find some other yard to infest. And then I'll build a greenhouse that's well insulated, ventilated, and screened, and once I master that environment I should be all set. Or I'll just grow indoors, no problem.

Try a h202 bath. That should destroy all bacteria and clean up your harvest. I noticed today some brown bud sites. I checked closer and I have signs of budworms too. Now Im going to spray BTk on it. Ive never had them outdoors last year so I never sprayed anything, just like last year, now Im going to spray them tomorrow with some BTk. Im about 3 or more weeks from harvest. Next summer im buliding an open style chicken type coop with window mesh and spraying preventatives every week. Well see how it goes.
