Well basically i've planted 6 seeds so far. Three have been lost to bugs. I had one seedling that had leaflets one day, came back, they were gone:wtf: . So i'm pretty sure its bugs, either caterpillars or ants. So its on now:chainsaw:. Anyone have any good insect repellents that won't damage seedlings?
mind you it needs to be something not hard to find, i am going to a hardware store thats not a big name like lowe's or home depot
Hahahah yooo doood that avatar used to be my desktop background like when i was in 8th grade hahaha! good shit.
Honestly i would try to figure out what bug is your problem first, and i highly doubt its caterpillars or ants.
Indoor or outdoor?
Outdoor, the only reason I think its ants or caterpillars. Is 1# The caterpillars have been hatching all around the forest they're everywhere. 2# there is a fatass ant hill a few yards away from my grow site.
well i know very little about insecticides but im sure u could use anything thar gets rid of bugs out doors, as long as ur not praying directly on the plant.
alright, i'm just very protective of my hardass dank seedlings who've been going strong. i'll just pick out whatever catches my fancy tomorrow i suppose just something to spray all around the area around the seedlings soil etc.
well I bought this stuff called Dipel Dust meant to kill of caterpillars. It really requires direct application so I dusted my two dank seedlings with a very very light coating then blew off the excess. Basically it kills the caterpillar after it has eaten a treated part of the plant. I had three drop on me from the trees while I was dusting around everything so I know its those little bastards. I pretty much annihilated each one I saw with my little shovel. I just hope this dust doesn't hurt my plants but I doubt it will because its a dust plus because its mosty consisted of an active ingredient called bacillus thurgineisis(spelled incorrectly I think). Either way i'll see tomorrow but I doubt it will harm the plants. lets hope.... It just find it better than getting a chemical spray of some sort. But seriously these caterpillars better fucking turn into butterflies soon because i'm getting sick of dealing with them.:cursing:
p.s. I think they can't hop up to my little dank seedlings anyway so I guess they grew too fast for the caterpillars:p
lets hope the two I just planted can do the same
get some neem oil to spray the plants with, making sure you get the undersides of the leaves too.
I think I might be fine for now, I googled marijuana caterpillar problems. I saw an article in cannabisculture.com and a guy asked the same question I did and they said to buy the exact stuff I bought, so I think im in good shape.
