Outdoor coco 15g pots
Progress:
Lava cake is about week 7. Ripening and get heavy. Buds are fat. Strong sweet cookie/ ice cream smell. Buds are frosty & heavy so I installed a net on all . On my most mature plant - About 40-80% of pistils have turned color. Trichomes are 20% milky, none amber. Plants are a few days apart.
Marathon OG week 6. Getting fat. Smells dank. Trichomes are showing up everyday and getting frosty. The 20 gallon OG is growing into a monster. I’m still waiting for the heavy bud stacks….
Nutes:
Same as last week. They’re not drinking as much with the cooler temps.
Weather:
Had a good week of cooler temps. Looking at highs of 80 this week, perfect.
Pests:
I’m applying BT every morning when it’s hit, every other when it’s cool. It’s working so far, limited losses.
Wishing fat buds and monster harvests to all.
Im suffering from moth caterpillars too T_T. I go through my plants every morning and squash every caterpillar I can find, but they've taken out a lot of nice looking buds. How is your BT regiment working? I've never used or heard of it before your post. Is it safe to smoke plants that get sprayed with BT?
@Todzilla, Ya this is my first time growing outdoors, so I wasn't too familiar with outdoor pest and how to stop them. I've just been killing them by hand, but its so time consuming and those fuckers are hard to spot. Only when I see a brown patch on my buds is when I know there's a tiny fucker eating and shitting inside.
I'm going to get some BT asap. I thought I could stop them by hand but they've fucked up a good chunk of some nice tops. Time for the nuclear option.
Yeah, before my plants started budding, I was contemplating if I should wash or not. But after seeing all that caterpillar shit, I'm definitely going to give em a nice bath.
I'm out here in Whitter/City of Industry.
@CriticalBush420, I spray for caterpillars using BT every morning. I soak the buds good. Buy it at Home Depot in 8oz concentrate for $10.
My first time I lost 40% due to cats, that was about 8lbs…
Once I started spraying I got losses down to 10-25%.
In some grows, like in one city away, I see zero cats. In another I saw a 100% losses to cats. The cats love those top colas.
BT is approved for use on cannabis in CA. I’m guessing almost all commercial outdoor grows in ca must use this stuff.
Just understand that the cats will die only after eating the BT, this means you’re only limiting the cats from taking out the entire cola; you will likely still have losses, just a bud - and hopefully not the entire cola.
I wash my buds at harvest for contaminants. You should see what comes off … yuk. I suggest all outdoor buds be washed.
BTW what city/area?
Cheers TC
@Northern_Ent,thanks man, especially coming from a seasoned grower like yourself.
I saw some of your other grows and they’re ALL quite impressive. I’m sure I can learn a lot from you!
I’m in the SoCal Long Beach 🏝️
Looking good. You might apply BT in the evening rather than in the morning because it’s photodegradable. Using before dark gives it time to work. BT is a soil bacteria so it makes sense that it doesn’t appreciate direct sunlight. Cheers.
