deminishing plant

[fordtech2005]

to make a long story short a friend of mine stumbled on a plant growing believe it or not in his trash dump. We are in the south so there has been a burn ban going on for some time. But anywaythe plant is about 2 to 3 foot wide and about 5 foot tall and is just starting to show signs of budding at the ends. Well its been so dry that the grasshoppers have turn to it in search of moisture and are starting to DESTROY it. We have tried pesticide but they seem to be defeating us. Just curious of anything that we can do to help it stay alive. Its all natural so im not sure what fertilizer would do at this point. Please any help would be greatly appreciated. Sure hate to lose the plant this late into it!

Hot pepper wax spray is organic and should do the trick to keep them away.

They are bastards to deal with but give it a try.

naturally grown cannabis shouldn't be budding at this time tho...even preflowers at this time would be very unusual...

Very good point.

Some idiot came over to me the other day and told me he'd found 2 plants in someones FRONT yard and they were both full of bud, so i told him it was alot of bullshit cos the light times are wrong.... Normally they wont start budding untill beginning september

Unless you bring it inside in the dark every night.
Alot of people do this.

A home made pestacide that i have used myself seems to work
for all the little bugs that induldge on plants.

3 tbsp. of bakeing soda
2 tbsp. of Murphy's oil Soap
2 tbsp. of canola oil
2 tbsp. of vinegar
2 gal. of warm water

Mix all these and let it set over night
spray the plant till its is dripping. That
should keep the little buggers off the plant.

I know this has been suggested but I'm gonna come right out and say it...

Are you sure it's cannabis? There are a lot of plants that could look just like it. Just trying to help...

Good luck with your plant, and if you find you enjoy looking after it, maybe try growing from seed sometime soon.
