Island Of Misfits

Thanx big

my pleasure…..I only use Spinosad all year , unless I see spider mites , then I get out the Pyganic and or Azamax , but use it sparingly , only on infected plants , in order to minimize the death of bees and other beneficial insects

i also plant a lot of marigolds around my ganja garden and sunflowers to distract the bugs , they tend to go after the sunflowers and the marigolds are like the sergeant of arms in the garden

I've got tons of bees. I never use the seven in flower. As I said in my post. I spray after the pedals have dropped. And I'm pretty sure all pesticides are bad for humans.
I also have Marigolds all around my veggies and weed.

My outdoor plants have spider mites, and they have buds. I used neem oil but stop when I saw the buds start to grow. What would anyone use to kill bugs when plant is in the flowering stage?

I ordered the spinosad it will be here tomorrow. Will use it and put my new marigolds I planted around them for distraction. So far I haven't seen any caterpillars on them yet. Must have hatched tho as they are everywhere on my porch

About the only thing I would do if it's hot and sunny since it's outside,,, is to water blast them off. I have gotten rid of them that way before on veggies. You have to do it several times for a couple weeks but it worked on my tomatoes and Lemons and I never seen them again on those plants.

good question and there is a lot of debate on the topic of what is safe to use on flowering cannabis

personally I have used Safer Soap , an insecticidal soap , and Pyganic during flowering

but NOTHING the last two weeks

if you are two weeks from harvest I would safer soap , otherwise you can always make hash from your mite infested flowers

or burn them

I hate spider mites!

I spray my veg room once a week with Spinosad. Love the stuff. I get it in concentrate and mix it...it goes a lot further if you do it that way. I do use sevin in the veggie garden on plants when they first break ground. After that it is only insecticidal soap and natural predators like lady bugs. The only thing that is a real problem here is the fricken Japanese beetle. They are out of control and unstoppable.

another one…

That bottom one is a Venusian Mud Wolf. Like anacondas, their size is only limited by their age. You can get rid of them with some jellyflowers and killerwillow buds.

Morning everyone believe I'm going to go get the spot more open on the thicker side was gonna put the 9 Chem 91 and the diesel mixes in a different spot but believe it's fine closest house besides mine is 500+ yards away and there not going to have anyone near them so cutting 10 more of the young small pines blocking my sun I'll update grow journal in few hours with progress and pics believe the stunted glue strains I transplanted into the ground benefited alot from baking soda flush and transplanting Friday saw a difference yesterday

Good morning, Misfits.

 

[SubmarineGirl]

Good morning misfits it’s gonna be a nice day today. New transplants outside seem to be digging their new spots. i love seeing them when looking out the back sliding glass doors. Still unbelievable that having cannabis plants in my backyard is legal. Couldn’t have been a better place and time to retire here. Today I can finally harvest Ms ugly. She finally told me yesterday that she has given up the fight and is willing to make space for the younger generation. Looking forward to trimming all those brown leaves off and seeing those heavy buds naked. Hope y’all have a good Monday with whatever you have planned

You to SugmarineGirl. Enjoy

Gooooode mawning ya'll! Yet another double gorgeous day in Pacific NW Paradise!!

57F @ 77% RH, cloudy with 4mph wind and predicted to reach 61F.

Yesterday was a hoot. Spottily divided between sunshine and downpour...........

I ended up pulling the grass and weeds out of half our front ornamental garden and will finish the other half today. I would have finished yesterday but the recycle bin was getting over weight limits for pickup. Damn if all the extra rain this year didn't equal bunches of extra weeds.

We have our landscaper scheduled for his annual cleanup, but I like to get to the grass and long tap root weeds before them, because they chop it out with a hoe and leave the roots, so it is back shortly with a vengeance.

A day of climbing up n down ladders with a spark and fire wrench cutting and gluing steel. FR's will be drenched with sweat.....

Will be fighting stem borers with injecting BT into the stem. Already found a feral plant with them. Seen squash bugs already too. Hate them stinking bugs.
