Take swift action or not?

Ok so I've been growing indoors for right at 10 years and haven't done the nature thing since I was a teenager. I have one little lady that made it out of 80 that were started this year most died do to scheduling issues 10 were eaten by bugs while in infancy and 6 were eaten by a logging skidder. 2 survived and how poetic that one be male and one be female (%.... Math FTW). My approach to all pest inside is spray treat and then disinfect and sterilize everything instantly because indoors infestations don't happen gradually they tend to happen like bombs!!! I have noticed that outside it doesn't seem happen quite that way.
Now to my question do I foliar spray and risk mold to my regions really high humidity or, do I seven dust every living plant around it or the third option I let the spider that has taken residence figure it out? It seems to only be a few leaves outta dozens.


p.s. the slight yellowing is I'm pretty sure from the 100 plus weather we've had for about 2 months now and only getting worse which is also baffling cause if I did that indoors she'd been toast by now

Once the plant gets up and healthy, the bugs will leave it alone for the most part, but you will never stop them in there tracks. Some water with a couple drops of liqued soap on them close to sun set will help and the more spiders the better:D



:rasta:

If it wasn't for my friend I would not have this beautiful young lady none of mine made it... so much thanks to him!!! he will be rewarded greatly.

I had to spray and I started foliar feeding with bloom and molasses.

I'm kind of baffled by all the molasses use here ...I know it is high in nutes but doesn't it attract all kinds of bugs? I know if I used it on my outside plants I would immediately have ants and aphids all over them. To me it's not worth it and I'll stick to the nutes that don't have sugar in them.

Since this thread is up and going already and I have added pics I have decided to make this a grow log.

The pictures from the last three post are from about 4 days ago. I decided to go have a look today and noticed that one of the bud sites had been infected by worms or larvae of some sort. A few other leaves had some gnawing but I could not find any more than on that one site. Sadly but quickly I made the decision to remove the site. I wiped the poop off all the underlying leaves and maliciously combed the entire plant for anything else. Out of 50 or more bud sites it was the only one that exhibited this problem so hopefully removing that site will fix it. I just don't know if there are more that haven't hatched so I will be keeping a close eye out. Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Other than the previously stated problem everything else is going awesome not as many trichomes showing yet as I had hoped but she may surprise me with a heavy resin production in the last 3/4 of her cycle( you know how women can be. No offense ladies!!!). So here are some more shots of her. She looks like just a canopy from certain angles.

You may have a point for outdoor plants. I did not have any worm problems before using molasses. Could just be the unluck of the draw.
On the upside is that the plant itself seems to love it!!!

Went to feed yesterday morning and took a few shots. everything is going awesome!!

I seem to have the pest under control and she seems to have taken a liking to the bloom and molasses feedings. I will not foilar feed with molasses again this time as it did seem to attract some unwanted bugs. The worms I had were apparently army worms(moth larvae) we have had a ton of moths this year. Well here is some photos of 3 days growth after the last feeding.

Any comments or thoughts are always welcomed and will be appreciated.

Looks good boss. I too was wondering about the molasses attracting bugs. Ill give it a shot but keep a close eye on um. Nice job, and keep us updated through harvest:thumbsup:

Thank you Stomper. Yeah I will keep you all updated. It looks to be another 6 or so weeks till Harvest. I have been battling bugs since it was moved from a porch to a spot near hay fields that have yet to be cut and are all taller than me. Foliar feeding (Molasses) seemed to have attracted some unwanted pest. It appears that I have it under control but some mites seem to still be on at least one branch. Neem oil doesn't appear to do anything for it nor does insecticidal soap, or diluted dish soap(I refuse to use sulfur). She is still shedding some leaves although she is ph tested, corrected and not over or under fed or watered. She gets 3/4recomended Bloom and 1tsp per gallon Molasses every other water and Super-thrive every 4th water. I water every 3-4days 1gallon at a time sometimes a little less or more depending on her thirst. The weather has changed from 100+ 65%+H(90at night)for 2 months(she was born in late June or early July) to no more than 95 and about a week of 35%H but now back to 85%H as of this minute.

So this is kind of 2 updates in 1. First I should explain that the last post pics were about 3 days old when I posted, so there are 2 different days. I went to feed and she had been nute burnt a little that had showed up from the last water only day. I was leaving town for the weekend so I did not have time to go back for plain ph'd water so I fed her anyways. I get back to town and go check her to day so see what had happened to her over the weekend and she show strong signs off being burnt on her leafs but the buds had packed on a lot of weight for 2days. She lost some pistils but has traded that for a new stage of heavy calyx building. She now has an abundance of resin. She has a flush in her very near future as soon as she looses some moisture from the last feeding I will probably take some pics then too ;). So the first few pics that are in low lighting are from before the weekend the ones in bright lighting are from after.:jointsmile:

next

:weedpoke: you can see in the 3rd pic the closest one is starting to split from 1 head into 2.

even more...:beatdeadhorse:

can you tell I like photography yet??? the 2nd pic is of a thorn spider I found while I was out. It was built like a tank and had what either looks like the Punisher symbol or one of the little guys from the arcade game Space Invaders. He made a pretty decent web too! my camera would not focus on it in the dim light so the last pics are some random ones of thorn spiders.

update!!! She got a good flush today so we will see if that helps a little bit. 8 gallons and she should be good for a few days then round 2 of nutes begin after that a real good flushing and she should be done.

and!

also you can remove those yellow leaves at the botttom of plant. Yellow attracks unwanted bugs. Plus they annoy me. J/k
