De boning the few buds the bugs left me.

Wedding cake IBL

Waiting on this train wreck to finish up. She's about 17 foot tall

Pic of the bug infested plants before it went up in flames. Bud maggots was the main infestation this year. Also a small black shield/stink bug. Haven't identified it yet. Bud maggots are a small white moth. Will see if a bug zapper will attract and kill them next season.

Freakin bugs! I feel for ya. All that work for naught. Sometimes nature is a cruel beech.

Bummer man.......

Brother Stain , get you some Spinosad and start spraying when the plants are about 3’feet tall and spray faithfully every 2 weeks until 30 days before harvest and those trichome worms will Disappear.....

also start spraying Pyganic about the same time and spray once every 3 weeks...that will kill aphids and mites and anything the Spinosad doesn’t get

the key is to spray on a regular basis and do NOT skip a week....it works Amigo and it’s easy

we will continue chopping today , we have done one plant 75% done and 12 more to go....

 

[ROSTERMAN]

Dang
Glad to see you did not have to burn it all
Sucks moose balls indeed.

I have typed novels around her as she sat on my lap.

Oh you did not have a reg spray schedule, most anywhere in the Northwest you need to spray for Cats (larva of the white moth)

I now feel slightly less of an ***** with a black thumb.

To see the Ph.D.'s have the same exposure to fail as I have ALWAYS had... With all the things that can go wrong when all I do is put seeds in the ground and stand back and watch, it is no wonder I never grew anything.

I understand you loss, my condolences Brother.
They will be waiting for you on the other side.

 

[yooper420]

Unca Walt , I am so sorry for your loss....it is never easy to lose a furry friend...I sure hope we get to see all our pets when we get to the other side or else I’m gonna be disappointed and I will sure let God know about it too...

 

[ROSTERMAN]

I have not sprayed in 2 weeks too close to harvest now
But not a sight of any at all just top leaf rot and small amount of rot started around it. Chopped it off a few times and good to go.
Hopefully only one more week. I grow on back deck and keep them under 8ft , easy to care for.

(*sigh*)

I will not get another cat. The reason: Asshats have decreed that de-clawing a cat is cruel. It is less cruel to just kill the cat rather than give it a long and loved life.

Herself tooken this pic while I was writing The Bat and Balloon War -- An Alternate History of WWII

And you feckers got this old hardcase all chokey.

 

[Agent 57]

Chokey is ok in my book. We have two cats and they bring a lot of joy into our house. Hate the thought of losing them.
